From Denmark to EmBIO IVF in Greece!

I’m 45 going on 46. Ι’ve lost a son, so we wanted to have another child. We tried the natural way but with no success.

One reason I chose EMBIO fertility clinic in Greece was that I wanted to check for chromosome abnormalities. In Denmark when you go through a fertility treatment, genetics is out. They do not check for genetic diseases. They are more into all things natural. In my case however, I could not take any more risks. I already had two miscarriages and one dead child, a boy who died at 7 from cancer. So along with our in vitro fertilization treatment, we needed to have a preimplantation genetic diagnosis, to make sure.

Another reason why I chose a fertility center in Greece was that I wanted sex selection for medical reasons. In Denmark you cannot choose the gender of your child, not even for medical reasons. I already have three boys – I have four boys, three here and one in Heaven. Now we transferred a boy and a girl. I produced 12 eggs, but only these two were of good quality.

I had a choice to try with donor egg ivf, but both my husband and I wanted to have a baby with eggs of my own.

The embryo transfer process was absolutely painless. I felt no pain whatsoever. In all, I spent five days in Greece, which I totally enjoyed. Everything here gave me pleasure. Every person I met in Greece was so nice. I think everyone should come and live in Greece.

Everyone at EmBIO IVF clinic was extraordinarily kind. They even arranged for my hotel and travel accommodation. I haven’t met a person in Greece who hasn’t been gentle.

I’m leaving tomorrow morning. I can’t find anything that could take improvement at EMBIO. Your services are extraordinary.  Dr Paraschos is very good, but all the staff at EMBIO are very helpful. Maria, the IVF coordinator, is like an angel.

God bless you all. You’re excellent. I will definitely recommend EMBIO as a top-quality fertility clinic.

IVF Experts in Greece

“We looked at seven different clinics in six different countries and we evaluated the cost along with the knowledge and what they provided. And the Greek doctors have been wonderful. They had a lot of knowledge, which we looked at before we came to the clinic, just to make sure that we are going to a place where they know what they are doing.”

Don't lose hope! Go to EMBIO IVF in Athens

“Hello, my name is Klaudia Giese and I am a dentist. For a long time my husband and I had tried to realize our great dream of having a child in several in vitro fertilization centres, but without success. In Germany, doctors’ capabilities are limited because of the degradation of the medical system. We were really frustrated and we desperately sought a solution abroad. In 2004, Prof. Theodoropoulos advised us to go to Athens, Greece, to Dr. Paraschos’ ivf clinic. Finally, in 2006, we decided to go there.

Dr. Paraschos welcomed us, and from the first moment, we felt from the interest that he showed that he understood us. The IVF Center’s very high standards, the cordial and familiar environment, the scientific training of the team and, of course, Dr. Theodoropoulos made us immediately feel that the pregnancy test would be positive; we could not believe it. After so many failed attempts, hopes and distresses, we could feel that we were closer to realizing our dreams. During the pregnancy, I even feared that something could go wrong.

However, Dr. Paraschos who followed me throughout the pregnancy was always close to me, ready to answer my slightest doubts and to calm all my fears. Thank God, everything was fine, there were no complications and our little girl was born perfectly healthy. The feeling of holding your own child in your arms is indescribable. There are no words to describe the absolute happiness that I was feeling then. I would like to advise all couples who have not yet managed to realize their own dream of having a child not to lose hope. I recommend, without any reservations, from a personal and scientific point of view, that they contact Dr. Paraschos’ IVF center in Athens.”

How I Got Pregnant with Donor Egg IVF

One can tell that respect and trust are inspired. Some earn that from the very first moment. Apparently you are one of them. We would like to show our respect and trust with this little present. We would like to thank you in advance, regardless of the results. We hope we‘ve earned a good friend.

Kostas & Christina

Dr. Paraschos, it took me a while to send you photos of my babies; but not because I forgot it. I am grateful to God and you for giving me the joy of motherhood. I wish happiness to you and your family. May God look after you so you can continue your work. I have recommended you to many people and I have heard their attempts with IVF were successful with you. We are the best paradigm to be copied. My little boy is called Thanasis; however I remember you when I sometimes call him Thanos. I was hopeless when I came to you after having HAD 9 attempts with IVF; but only with 2 attempts at your clinic my dream became a reality. On my last visit you told me “Let’s give it one more try”… and you were right.

Thank you

I started spotting late October. After one month, I told my gyno, and he tested me twice with an ultrasound (after he made sure this wasn't a hormone problem). The ultrasound showed nothing, but the spotting wouldn't stop. Some days there was none at all, other days some yellow brown discharge. He told me that if it didn't stop completely, he'd test me with hysteroscopy. He said I wouldn't be given general anesthesia, just a light sleep. I said, what the heck? First of all, because spotting was getting on my nerves, and then I needed to know if everything was alright, and yes... work out without seeing those annoying period spots. Next thing I remember is waking up feeling starving. No pain whatsoever. The "perp" was a small uterine polyp. Right across me there was a lady who had just had an embryo transfer, and said it was the first time she felt no pain either at EMBIO with Dr Paraschos, whereas the other 2 transfers she had had before at another fertility clinic had caused intense pain. As for me, I was just told not to drive home, but since I felt OK, I did anyway. Next day I was back to work and nobody knew a thing. Dr Paraschos had told me I would have some blood that would last a few days. Actually, I kept bleeding less and less for 9 days. And now all I have to say is thank God I'm completely spotless no matter how hard I work out. My advice is if you have spotting in between periods, don't be scared. Just talk to your gyno and find out what causes it.
