    Omg. Amazing! My IVF baby is 11 years old now! She is a precious gem! Healthy and happy. The IVF journey is tough, but I can tell you after 11 + years, the little things like shots and procedures fade away from memory and the important thing stays with you... your child! xoxo

      This means they guarantee a live birth or money refund in case of 5 failures in a row. Of course not all the patients can sign for this very option. They screen them for all the possible complications, but when IP get therem they can be sure of the outcome which is priceless. This is quite a rare thing to see among the repro centers. I'd say quite non existing thing to see actually. Then the set of the services offered: Unlimited mumber of atts. Medical examinations. All needed medications. Large donor and surros database to choose from. Accomodation. Transportation. English speaking staff and many other pros. We got luck with them- are parenting a sweet LO.

    Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. IVF is not a walk in the park and it has never been so. I'm not new to it myself. Moreover, after we'd passed cycles ourselves successfuly (were treated in faraway Kiev), a friend of mine went the same route. She's currently into the process. They are using own eggs and donor's mitochondria. Their dr told it must boost their chances. The clinic performs fresh cycles with 5day blasts. (I believe it's another pro). Hoping for their best and for everyone's luck who's been moving through IVF path.

      Congrats on this very important step! I'm sorry covid nightmare pushed your plans back..A bestie of mine is facing the same. After I had passed ivf successfully, she just told 'I can't wait longer'' and called the clinic. I was amazed on how sure she was and dedicated. Since then things flew for them. Their clinic in KIev invented some really effective treatment plan for them. Their dr recommended using donor's mitochondria to ''rejuvenate'' own eggs. She expects it's gonna boost their chances. We all are currently waiting and hoping for the best.

      Making babies in a petri dish in a doctor's lab where sperm and egg are forcibly meet outside the body. No thanks. IVF babies are a no-no for me. It's against nature. It's unromantic and gross. And IVF is also invasive. You just don't poke around the organs with that kind of tool to remove the eggs. Very risky.
