“Texas Woman Diagnosed with Infertility Gives Birth to Quintuplets Despite Medical Odds”
Despite being diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, a condition that prevents the ovaries from producing eggs, Brenda Raymundo, 28, and her husband Alejandro, 28, were able to become parents to five babies in May.
The couple had been trying to start a family for over three years before seeking help from a fertility clinic. With the help of fertility drugs, Brenda became pregnant, but the couple was surprised to learn that she was carrying quintuplets.
Throughout the pregnancy, Brenda had to undergo weekly tests due to the high risk involved.
The COVID-19 pandemic restrictions meant that she had to go alone to most of her appointments. However, despite the challenges, the five babies were born healthy and with good weights for quintuplets.
Alejandro weighed 1.4 kg; Lelani weighed 1.36 kg; Amara weighed 1.49 kg; Antonio weighed 1.72 kg; and Humberto weighed 1.41 kg. Brenda and Alejandro feel extremely lucky to have been able to overcome Brenda’s infertility and become parents to their five babies against all medical odds.
