I came here for an IVF treatment using a donor egg, because we want to have a child together. We’re a second relationship. We tried to have a natural conception, which didn’t work. David is 53 and I’m 50 and we are too old to have any IVF treatment in the UK. We did some research. Greece was very favourable, and Embio had a very good profile.

On the whole, communication was very good, very informative. We had some initial communication with Dr Paraschos and then our IVF coordinator took over.

Today we had the implantation. It was fine, very quick, painless. I was very nervous, but no need to be nervous. Three embryos were transferred.

Our blue-eyed egg donor in Athens

The donor has blue eyes like us. We couldn’t have a brown-eyed child. It would look impossible genetically.

Cost of IVF Treament in Greece

We were quite pleased with the cost, because it was less than we thought it would be.

IVF holidays

We needed to be here for 5 days, but we chose to come longer for vacation. Athens is a good location with lots of things to do and see. We both like ancient history, so it’s a perfect place. We went to Nafplion, the old capital, and Epidaurus.

Dr Paraschos

Dr Paraschos is very friendly, appears very approachable and informative, communicates very effectively.

Egg donation in Greece at Embio

The clinic is modern, spacious, easy to find, easy to park (we hired a car from the airport).

It has been easy. Nothing has been too difficult or complicated.
