When Krystal and Brett decided they wanted to start a family, they never imagined the road would be so long or so difficult. Like many couples facing fertility challenges, they began with hope, only to experience years of heartbreak.
But their story is more than a tale of struggle—it’s a powerful reminder of how expert care, personalized treatment, and a second opinion can reignite hope and lead to the family you’ve dreamed of.
From “End of the Road” to a New Beginning
After two years of unsuccessful attempts to conceive naturally, Krystal and Brett turned to a fertility clinic in Rhode Island. Despite their efforts, the clinic eventually told them they had reached the end of the road. With no clear diagnosis and no explanation for their infertility, the couple was left feeling hopeless and uncertain.
But something inside them refused to give up.
“We didn’t really have any reasons why we were unable to get pregnant,” Krystal recalls. “It didn’t feel right to just give up.”
Discovering New Hope at The Center for Advanced Reproductive Services
Determined to find answers, Krystal and Brett sought a second opinion—and that search led them to The Center for Advanced Reproductive Services (CARS). From their very first consultation with Dr. DiLuigi, they felt something shift.
“She had already done her homework,” Brett said. “She came to the call prepared, with options.”
Unlike their previous experience, the team at CARS took a comprehensive approach. Dr. DiLuigi offered advanced fertility testing, new treatment paths, and unwavering support at every stage. She didn’t just present data—she brought energy, determination, and a fierce commitment to helping them find a solution.
“We were just grateful that she never gave up on us,” said Krystal. “She was always willing to keep trying to find answers to try to solve the problem and help us reach our goal of getting pregnant.”
Personalized Fertility Care That Makes a Difference
One of the most impactful differences Krystal and Brett noticed at CARS was the personalized nature of the care they received. Dr. DiLuigi offered options the previous clinic hadn’t—including additional diagnostic testing—and connected them to critical resources, such as counseling and emotional support.
While CARS is known for offering a wide range of fertility treatments, from IVF and IUI to fertility preservation and advanced genetic screening, what truly sets us apart is our compassionate approach. Every patient’s journey is unique, and our team understands that emotional well-being is just as important as medical care.
A Life-Changing Phone Call
After five years of appointments, procedures, and perseverance, Krystal received a phone call that would change everything.
“I was at the mall, by myself in a dressing room, and my phone rang. It was Dr. DiLuigi. She said, ‘You’re pregnant!'”
Not only were they expecting—they were expecting twins.
That moment, filled with joyful tears and overwhelming gratitude, marked the beginning of their new chapter. “This is almost Dr. DiLuigi’s finished painting,” Brett said about his healthy baby twins. “She did all this work, all these little brushstrokes. This is the final product.”
