Same sex couple leads the same baby & # 039; miraculous & # 039; in what may be the first world of fertility
DALLAS, Texas - Two Texas mothers each took their "miracle baby" due to a medical breakthrough that allowed them to do what they thought would otherwise be impossible.
Ashleigh Coulter, 28, and Bliss Coutler, 36, met six years ago and then got married. The couple who wanted a baby knew that welcoming their own biological child would require a sperm donor and some creativity.
"Obviously, being two women, we were like, how can we make this happen?" Ashleigh said. "We feel there has to be a way."
It turned out that there was a way for both women to take their son.
Fertility specialists, Dr. Kathy Doody and her husband, Dr. Kevin Doody at CARE Fertility in Bedford, Texas, were the first to attempt in vitro fertilization without reciprocal effort using radical technology, which gave Bliss and Ashleigh the opportunity to be a mother.
"We were talking at home one night and I said, 'You know, I think we could use this for a same-sex couple,'" recalled Dr. Kathy. "And Kevin said, 'I think you're right, I think we could.'"
This is how the process works. It starts like traditional IVF.
"Happiness went through the stimulation of her ovaries and the egg harvest," Kathy said.
Instead of placing Bliss sperm and eggs in incubators in a laboratory, which is called reciprocal IVF and has been carried out for same-sex couples for years, they enter the camera of the INVOcell device immediately after the extraction of the egg. . The device is placed in the body of Bliss for five days, where the early development of the embryo begins.
"She got the embryo started soon," Kathy said. "The eggs were fertilized in his body and when they returned five days later, we removed the device and congealed the embryos."
Because embryos do not have livers, kidneys or lungs, traditionally, electromechanical devices such as incubators are used in laboratories to eliminate toxins and try to maintain a supportive environment for the embryo.
"It turns out, as is logical, that the woman's own body is a very good incubator," said Kathy, clarifying how INVOcell works. "We have livers, kidneys and lungs, so we can provide those same services to the embryo more naturally."
Next, it was Ashleigh's turn.
"Almost like passing the baton, like it's a relay race," Kathy said.
The doctors evaluated Ashleigh's uterus, administered estrogen and then progesterone, waited for the right moment and transferred the embryos of his wife to his body. They got pregnant on the first try.
"She had to carry it for five days and it was a big part of the fertilization, and then I loaded it for nine months," Ashleigh said. "That made it really special for both of us, that we were both involved, she had to be part of that, and I had to be a part of that."
The cost of IVF without effort when using INVOcell is approximately half the cost of traditional IVF, which usually costs between $ 14,000 and $ 16,000 with medications.
IVF without reciprocal effort, which is the process suffered by Bliss and Ashleigh, is approximately $ 8,000 with medication, compared to traditional reciprocal IVF involving laboratory incubators costing approximately $ 15,000 to $ 20,000.
Kathy responded to critics who may believe that this science is contrary to religious beliefs.
"Well, respectfully I would not agree [with them]"Kathy said." I think that family, relationships, children are exactly everything that was supposed to be in our world. "

Stetson is a happy and healthy baby of 5 months. Bliss and Ashleigh are busy with motherhood.
"Nobody really knew it was possible, but it worked superbly," Bliss said.
The couple has two additional frozen Bliss embryos that they could use in the same way unless Ashleigh wants to use their eggs next time because only the Bliss genes were transferred to Stetson.
"I think it opens up new avenues, new options for same-sex couples," Kathy said.
Since Ashleigh's birth, a same-sex couple in North Texas went through the IVF process with no reciprocal effort in CARE Fertility, became pregnant and gave birth to a healthy baby in September.
