Happy International Women's Day! PREG Celebrates 20 Years!

Happy International Women's Day!

We're made of a team of remarkable women whose contribution is immeasurable and without whom we just wouldn't be the same. At the heart of PREG is Faith Ripley, whose vision and guidance for over 20 years has grown PREG into the largest network of fertility centers in the Carolinas. And we speak for everyone at PREG when we say we couldn't be more grateful for all you do and are in awe of your effortless grace in making a tremendously difficult job look easy. To each and every member of our fabulous female team, we honor you today. Thank you.

PREG Celebrates 20 Years!

In February PREG celebrated its 20 year anniversary. Dr. John Nichols and Faith Ripley’s philosophy in 2003 when PREG was founded, was to take care of our patients, our doctors, our staff, and we’ll all take care of each other. That hasn’t changed. Thank you Dr. Nichols and Faith Ripley for everything you’ve done over the past 20 years and continue to do! Here, Dr. Nichols and Faith Ripley talk about PREG's beginnings. Watch the video here.

When your next cryo-storage bill becomes due, Embryo Options will send you an invoice which will also include information on how you log into to their online portal. Please contact one of our financial counselors if you have any questions. You can learn more about Embryo Options by visiting: www.embryooptions.com

Haley Pollack, WHNP-BC, Discusses Perinatal Mood Disorders

Haley Pollack, WHNP-BC, in our PREG Columbia office discusses mental health surrounding pregnancy, infertility and loss. Many are familiar with the term postpartum depression and baby blues, but there's very little discussion surrounding prepartum depression that many who struggle with infertility and loss have to endure. Many of us have struggled with our mental health throughout our journey, yet there’s shame associated with these feelings. Let’s end the stigma! Please know you are NOT alone. You can reach out to PREG anytime. We see you. We hear you. We are you. Watch the video here.

Dr. Tarnawa Discusses Miscarriage

At PREG, we understand that just because miscarriages are common that doesn't mean that the heartbreak, loneliness, and hurt you feel isn’t valid. Your feelings are valid, and many of us at PREG have been in your shoes. PREG is here for you.

“The care and compassion we received from check in to check out was exceptional. Every person we interacted with was kind, empathetic, and incredibly knowledgeable for our many questions. I would more than recommend this practice to anyone who is seeking reproductive/infertility care - the doctor took her time with us, provided us literature to take home and read over, and provided us with some invaluable hope. The financial counselor, Tamara, was the last person we interacted with and even though she was not clinical she made us laugh and smile when all I wanted to do was cry. Having this resource so close to home is truly a blessing.”
