Starting IVF felt terrifying
Georgina Rose Dunn, Arlington, TX
After trying to conceive naturally for more than five years, Georgina Rose Dunn and her husband turned to IVF in 2018. The process brought hope, but also anxiety, complicated instructions and a medication schedule in which every dose had to arrive and be taken at precisely the right time.
“Starting IVF felt terrifying,” Georgina said. “It felt like I wasn’t worthy of having a family. It just felt like I was alone in this world.”
CVS Health helped her feel less alone. Whether Georgina and her husband were living in San Antonio or building their life in Arlington, CVS Specialty Pharmacy reliably delivered her refrigerated IVF medications to their home. Convenient pharmacy pickup also helped her stay on schedule, even while working long shifts.
CVS Pharmacy employees explained her prescriptions, while approachable MinuteClinic providers answered questions and offered personalized guidance. They also recommended vitamins tailored to her allergies and deficiencies, helping her feel understood and cared for.
"I always knew that I could call CVS Health for help," she said.
Knowing help remained available brought reassurance throughout the emotional process. “It felt like I had another partner going along the journey with me,” she said.
Today, Georgina lives in Arlington with her husband and son, whose birth made their long journey worthwhile. Looking back, the greatest gift wasn't just help managing a complex process. It was the confidence to believe she could do it.
“CVS Health helped me feel like I knew what I was doing,” she said.
