“Had it not been for you and your staff, Garrett would not have completed our family and been our miracle.”

Posted July 6th, 2008

My family is truly grateful for the gift that you have given to us. At the age of 22, we decided that two kids were enough and I had my tubes tied. Four years later to the day I began to regret that choice. My husband was in Iraq and he called home when I decided to spring the news to him that I wanted another baby. He was a bit puzzled but did not hesitate to agree. We searched the web far and wide until I heard about you through someone I knew. She had two TR babies because of you. I just knew that you were my answer.

One month after making that choice, on March 9th 2007 I was there in your office, with my husband still in Iraq, to get all “fixed” up. Upon his return we started trying to conceive. I was pregnant instantly; however, that ended in a tubal. I lost my right tube and was disheartened. But I did not give up. We tried again. I had a miscarriage. We kept trying - never giving up. On September 3rd, 2007, I got my third and FINAL BFP. I began the pregnancy cautiously optimistic. This was my sticky bean I had been waiting for.

April 19th, 2008, Garrett Conner was born at 36 weeks - 5lbs and 9 ozs, 21 inches long. He is a healthy, beautiful little boy who’s growing like a weed.

Had it not been for you and your staff, he would not have completed our family and been our miracle.

THANK YOU FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS AT CHAPEL HILL,

“Thank you again for giving us this miracle.”

Posted July 3rd, 2008

We were recently in South Carolina and I wanted so bad to drive to Chapel Hill and show Dr. Berger the miracle he helped create, but it was such a long drive. So I guess this picture will have to do. Tyler is almost 8 months now and we are so happy to have him.

Thank you again for giving us this miracle. We are letting nature take over now, with me only having 1 tube and already feeling so blessed. We decided if TR#2 happens, well then great but if not, that is ok too.

Thank you,

Good Afternoon Ladies,

Just wanted to let you know that Bodie Thomas joined our family on Wednesday, May 14th at 4:04 p.m. weighing in at a whopping 9 lbs 5 oz., 20 1/2 inches long.

He is our amazing miracle #2 from the results of Dr. Berger’s magic a few years ago. His big sister Skylar Rae (TR#1) is 2 1/2 and doing very well.

I want to thank your staff and Dr. Berger again for the miracles that you have given to our family. We are truly blessed.

Again, I can’t thank you enough from the bottom of my heart. Bodie is a testament that what you do every day is working and a miracle. He is a beautiful little guy and my husband and I will never forget you. Thank you for what you do everyday.

“Our second TR baby was born this spring and our family couldn’t be happier.”

Posted May 13th, 2008

Our second TR baby, Leo, was born this spring and our family couldn’t be happier. I had a tubal ligation because of having had bedrest with my first two pregnancies.

My first pregnancy after reversal required only modified couch rest and during my most recent pregnancy I didn’t have any bedrest! Our oldest children are thrilled to have their younger siblings and we are too.

Thank you to Dr. Berger and his wonderful staff; we are blessed!

“Elizabeth is such a blessing. She has a purpose.”

Posted May 6th 2008

My name is Sheryl and I live in Michigan. I am writing to let you know what a difference Dr. Berger and your team made in our lives!

In May of 2005 I had my tubal reversal done at your facility. Although the next 2 years were difficult (we had multiple losses and a ruptured ectopic), we persevered and were pregnant again in fall of 2006. We delivered our baby girl, Elizabeth, March 12, 2007. She was born via c/s 2 weeks earlier than we had scheduled and we found out in recovery that she has Down syndrome. My husband, Joby, is 39 and I am 38 years old so we knew there was an increased risk, but we were shocked nonetheless. However, we loved her from the start!

I have an 18 year old son, Kelli, and twin 15 year old daughters, Amber and Tia. They have loved Elizabeth completely and without reservation from the moment of her birth. She has touched everyone she has come into contact with. At the age of 5 months she had to have open heart surgery to repair 2 major holes (a vsd and an asd) in her heart. So many people contacted us during that time to tell us how they were concerned! She has taught everyone around us compassion, empathy, and courage! It is discussed in the high school that my kids attend and in our community. She is a blessing to our family and to all of those around us.

I tell you all of this because without Dr. Berger and your team, Elizabeth would not be part of our lives. I firmly believe this. It took us finding your web page to feel completely confident we were going thru with the TR. Your staff was incredible and everything was such a great experience!

Elizabeth is already such a blessing, and I believe she was born with DS for a reason. Someday she will achieve remarkable things and/or touch someone in a remarkable way that changes them for the better (even though we may never know it). She has a purpose.

Thank you again! You have also been a blessing in our lives.

“I had a tubal ligation and was told I would never have children again. Little did I know then that 9 years later I would have 2 more beautiful babies.”

Posted April 16th, 2008

In September of 1999 I had a tubal ligation, and was told I would never have children again. Little did I know then that 9 years later I would have 2 more beautiful babies! I had my TR with Dr. Berger on November 5, 2004, a month and a half later I had a BFP, which gave us our first TR baby, Carson (now 2 1/2)! Then, July 24, 2007 we got our 2nd (SURPRISE) BFP that gave us our 2nd TR baby, Arleigh (11 days old)!

When we researched and found CHTRC, we thought it was too good to be true! Even after arriving in Chapel Hill, I was waiting for Dateline to jump out and say we were scammed! Could a Doctor and an office be so kind, loving, helpful, and actually put me back together? We are living proof……. Dr. Berger and his staff do God’s work in that office!

I love to tell our story. It amazes everyone, even me! We could never thank Dr. B. and the staff at CHTRC enough for all they have done for us and for all they have given us!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

“Our TR Baby #2 arrived safe and sound. Special thanks for giving us a chance to have these two precious gifts.”

Posted April 14th, 2008

Subject: Another TR Baby

Dear Dr. Berger,

Just a quick note to let you know that our TR baby #2, Ethan Michael, finally arrived safe and sound via an unscheduled c-section on March 11th, 2008. He weighed 8 pounds, 10 ounces and was 20 inches long.

Mike and I, as well as big sister, Peyton (TR Baby #1), want to thank you personally for all that you did to help bring this special miracle into the world. Due to some fertility issues after Peyton was born, it was a long and difficult struggle for our family, but so worth it all in the end. He is a happy and healthy little boy and we couldn’t be more thrilled.

Here is a picture of Ethan at 10 days old. Also a picture with big sister, Peyton (now 3 years old), both of our “Berger Babies” together.

God truly has given you a special gift as a physician. Once again a special thanks to you and your staff for giving us a chance to have these two precious gifts.

With much gratitude,

Kelli and Mike F.

“I just wanted to send you some pictures of our TR baby. I love this little guy so much.”

Posted March 12th, 2008

I just wanted to send you some pictures of our TR baby. I had my tubal reversal on February 15th, 2007. It was such a great experience.

We tried the ovulation strips the first two months and were getting frustrated and we hadn’t even really start trying. It is something we all want to happen fast, but we stress ourselves to much. I decided not to stress about it anymore. We took the kids on a week end trip to an amusement park. The sun was hot. I felt tired and sick. I thought it was the sun. On Monday morning June 13th 2007 I saw a pregnancy test in the bathroom (had tons on hand like we all do) so I decided to take one just for fun. It came out with a faint line. I ended up taking six tests. Be patient and get support where ever you can. It is worth the effort.

My son was born on Feb. 26,2008 at 7:15 am 7 lbs 12 oz, 20 1/2 inches long. I love this little guy so much. His name is Xathan Xeven. The look on my husband’s face when he saw his son come into the world made it all worth it.

Best of luck to everyone. Dr. Berger is the best at hand and will do all he can to make your dreams come true.

Thanks Dr. B and staff…

“We are so truly humbled and grateful for this TR miracle baby in our lives.”

Posted January 25th, 2008

Dr Berger,

Our TR miracle baby, Noah, was born January 2nd, 2008 at 3:33 pm at 6 pounds 8oz. He was exactly 3 weeks early. These photos were taken of him at one month old.

The time seems to be flying. Noah definitely keeps me busy, which is great since his daddy is deployed until December of this year.

Every time I look at him, I think of you and your staff at Chapel Hill who helped make him possible. I am truly humbled daily to have him in my life. (My husband Emil feels the same.) What an experience it was to go from not having children at all for five and a half years to feeling a life grow and move inside of me. It was amazing to feel that ability and gift restored to me again.

To feel alive again and whole again and to be able to have a child with my second husband of our own is the greatest gift and blessing I could have ever asked for.

Thanks to GOD, directing his will through your hands and skills and talents. You really are an amazing person. You personally take an interest in your patients that no other doctor I have known or had, has done. You clearly do what you do to bless others lives such as ours and many others.

I have referred all who seek and ask about a tubal referral your way with the highest recommendations and without any reservations.

Thank you, Dr Berger and staff at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.
