A new law has been passed in the summer of 2022 and brought major changes to both IVF in Greece and egg cryopreservation, commonly called “egg freezing”. According to the new law, the age limit for In Vitro procedures is 54 years, thus giving women of older ages the chance to give birth with assisted reproduction.

According to published statistics in Greece, 52 children were born by women over 50 in 2007, 74 children in 2009, 128 children in 2017, 135 children in 2019, and 187 children in 2021.

For many people going through IVF, the days after an embryo transfer can feel like the longest wait of their lives. By day 9 after embryo transfer, emotions are high, and patients often find themselves looking for signs and symptoms that might reveal whether implantation has been successful. While every journey is different, understanding what may or may not happen during this stage can provide reassurance.

For many undergoing IVF, the embryo transfer stage is both exciting and nerve-wracking. When 3 embryos are transferred on day 3, patients often want to know: What are my chances? Is this safe? How does this compare to other transfer days?

This article explains the science behind a day three embryo, why some clinics recommend multiple transfers, and what outcomes you can realistically expect, using real-world data, expert insights, and patient stories.

You’re about to learn how frozen embryo transfer (FET) works, what it means, what to expect in the timeline, the medications involved, and how to prepare the night before. Whether you’re considering a frozen blastocyst transfer, a natural frozen embryo transfer, or a medicated FET, this guide will walk you through every step. By the end, you’ll feel confident moving forward in your journey.

Adult cell cloning is a modern scientific technique for creating a new organism with the exact same DNA as an existing one, no mixing of genetic material. This process involves using a body cell (a somatic cell) from an adult, transferring its nucleus into an empty egg cell and then developing a cloned embryo. To bring the embryo to term, scientists use embryo transplants, placing the cloned embryo into a surrogate mother.

Deciding to seek help with starting or expanding a family is never a small step, and when that path leads to a destination outside the UK, it can feel even more overwhelming. But for many people facing barriers such as long waiting lists or high costs at home, looking into care options in countries like Greece has opened doors to real progress, support, and success.

If you’re considering taking this step yourself, the process may seem complex at first. Where do you begin? What should you prepare for? How do you ensure the experience is smooth and worthwhile?

Most IVF patients go through this, "I thought the injections would be the hardest part. I didn’t realize it would be the waiting, the hoping, the not knowing."

IVF isn’t just a medical journey; it’s an emotional one. For many, it's the most personal rollercoaster they'll ever ride. The physical steps are discussed in clinics and brochures. But what about the emotional terrain? The tears after a negative test, the anxiety between appointments, or the quiet moments when it feels like no one else understands?

You’ve done everything right, and yet, IVF feels like a roll of the dice. What if your lifestyle holds the key to tipping the odds in your favor?

For many hopeful parents, IVF (in vitro fertilization) is more than just a medical procedure; it’s a deeply emotional journey filled with hope, anxiety, and sometimes heartbreak. But what if some of the most powerful factors influencing IVF success aren’t just in the lab or clinic, but in your daily life?

If you're thinking about in-vitro fertilization (IVF), you probably have one big question on your mind: “What are my chances of getting pregnant?” While IVF has helped millions start or grow their families, success isn't the same for everyone, and age plays a big role.

For many couples and individuals in the UK hoping to start or grow their family, IVF is one of the most personal, emotional, and often overwhelming journeys they'll ever face. It's a path filled with hopes, disappointments, and tough decisions. While access to treatment is available in the UK, it often comes with challenges that leave people feeling frustrated, especially when time and finances are so precious.

In-vitro fertilization (IVF) is a journey, sometimes long, sometimes emotionally exhausting, but often rewarding.

The path to parenthood can sometimes involve significant expenses, especially when considering fertility treatments like In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). This financial aspect often leads hopeful parents to explore options beyond their home countries, seeking both excellent care and more manageable costs.

I'm Danica, 36, and my partner, Vlado, is 37. Originally from Serbia – I'm from Nis, and Vlado's from Belgrade – we moved to Greece three years ago. We've shared our lives for 15 years, since 2008.

How we discovered the challenge of infertility

Our journey with infertility began back in Serbia. After realizing I wasn't getting pregnant, tests revealed the reason: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Our doctor explained that IVF was our most promising path forward.

Penny had always dreamed of starting a family, but after years of trying to conceive naturally and following several failed IVF attempts, she was losing hope. In this challenging phase of her life, she decided to seek Thanos Paraschos’ opinion when she heard him talking about the latest developments in extracorporeal medicine on a morning show.

The doctor reviewed her tests, which revealed no severe issues. But there was an obstacle, and that was the very thin endometrium that was not sufficient for the implantation of the embryo and for pregnancy to occur.

For many women, motherhood is an exciting and rewarding experience. But for some, it is an arduous and sometimes heartbreaking journey. This is the story of a woman from Italy, who faced a difficult road to becoming a mother - one that could not be resolved with the therapies available in her own country, but instead required the help of the experts at EmBIO Clinic. Here, she shares her story of determination, resilience, and ultimately, success:

Some consider the emergence of time-lapse technology in IVF treatments a huge step forward, while others dismiss it as a "marketing gimmick".

But let’s have a look at the time-lapse procedure and its benefits in IVF:

The incubation of embryos with constant monitoring and photographing at regular intervals (time-lapse) is the latest technology used in IVF treatments, which enables embryologists to evaluate embryos in detail.
