My husband and I got married deeply in love. As I turned 30, we decided it was time to have a child. However, after a year of trying without success, we realized something wasn’t right and consulted a doctor. When the doctor explained that my ovaries were weak and this was why I couldn’t conceive, I struggled to understand. How could this be possible when my periods were regular? And at just 30 years old?
The doctor advised us to start IVF immediately. Over the course of a year, I went through four egg retrieval procedures. Only one resulted in a transfer, but even then, the embryo wasn’t of high enough quality. My eggs were often either empty or of poor quality. My doctor left the decision to continue or not up to us. By the end of the year, my periods had become irregular, possibly due to the medications or maybe because I was truly entering menopause.
Life lost its meaning for me. I couldn’t find joy in anything. I even suggested to my husband that he leave me because I couldn’t give him a child. He told me I was being ridiculous and reminded me that we loved each other deeply. During my online research, I discovered a treatment called egg donation, which could help someone in my situation achieve pregnancy. My husband and I talked it over and decided that this was how we could achieve our dream of becoming a family.
The next step was to find the right place. Thank goodness for the internet! 😊 After extensive research and speaking with many centers, I chose Dr. [Name] and Kolan British IVF Center for the procedure.
On the big day, I walked into the center filled with stress, but the warm, friendly, and supportive staff instantly put me at ease. Throughout the treatment, both the doctor and the nurses were incredibly attentive and caring.
Twelve days later, when we received the positive result, I was overwhelmed with emotions I cannot put into words.
We’ve just seen our baby on the ultrasound, and I know this is only the beginning of a long journey. I pray that I will be a healthy mother, and I hope this incredible experience is granted to everyone longing for it.
Thank you so much, Kolan British IVF family, for making our dream come true.
