We started our ivf Journey 3 years ago with myself undergoing a myomectomy to remove fibroids before the ivf could start. The first 2 embryo transfers unfortunately were not successful, we had one embryo left so we decided to take time out and recuperate before finally going for the last embryo transfer. We finally bit the bullet and decided to try again in April21.And thank God when we arrived for our (supposed to be telephone conversation that was not communicated by front desk), Dr Yakoub Khalaf walked us right through the corridor and decided that since we were already there we could get started right away... so it was meant to be. When we started to talk, the Dr addressed all our concerns and made us feel like we had made the right decision. We love the way he light-heartedly talks about life in getting to know us, his commitment to our success and the fact that he does not waste time. I actually found out then that he was head consultant/surgeon during my operation and I almost gave him a hug if it wasn't for Covid19.(After that operation I was not in any pain at all and I had the morphine removed. Even though I had so many fibroids removed, I had no pain at all and my tummy went back flat..it was an exceptional experience I have to say...and if the Catheter did not have to be changed, I would not have realised that I had one inserted) Dr Yakoub is so flexible despite the fact that they are so busy. We could send him a text or call him and each time he never hesitated to come to our rescue whether it was a prescription or a question about something were not sure about. He moved forward as if this was the embryo that would work and so we moved along (a bit worried on the inside) but seeing the Dr's belief in how he moved quickly with the scans, medication etc also made us believe. He said to us many times that there was no time wastage because after all we knew what we were after. Everything moved fast and seamless and we were always the ones who looked surprised. He does indeed put the patient first and takes pride in what he does. We were in such capable hands from the beginning and are now coming to 13 weeks pregnant. Such kindness and humility in a person so senior was so humbling.
