This is my 2nd IVF. The first was 3 months ago in Romania. It was positive, but I lost the baby. And then I lost faith in my Romanian doctor because he did not check my problem. If he had, I believe I wouldn’t have lost my pregnancy. He didn’t run any tests before egg collection (no blood tests for estradiol, no ultrascan. Here at EMBIO all these were done plus an electrocardiogram before egg collection.

This time we’re trying with our own eggs and sperm, so we had to be in Athens for 11 days. I could leave tomorrow, but I’ll stay one more day, because we’re driving home, and we want to be on the safe side. Before the embryo transfer we visited the Acropolis, and did some sightseeing by the coast of Saronikos. Athens is beautiful. There’s mountain, the sea, the people. All were so kind. And the clinic is in a very nice area. Besides, it’s very well organized. Not only Dr. Paraschos, but our nurse is very nice, very prompt. Everything is so much better than in our country. EMBIO fertility clinic is the best.

Many people come from Romania to Greece for IVF treatment. Of course, we keep it a secret. We don’t share it with the family. It’s taboo. They wouldn’t understand us.
