Success Stories

Story of Lene Gammelgaard

"Hi, my name is Lene Gammelgaard. I started suffering from lack of being able to become pregnant when I was in my late 30s. The want to become a mother grew to become an absurd focus for whatever I did and did not do. I deliberately use the term Absurd, because not being able to have the children you desperately desire – transmute what you expose yourself to – while pursuing your ultimate dream. Childlessness hurts. Hurts you as a person, hurts your life quality, hurts your self confidence, hurts your economy and your relations. 

You might have to undergo treatment and inject yourself many more times than you fathom. But as long as you do not give up – there is hope...

I adopted my first child as a single parent, a bizarre process as well. After numerous years parallel fertility treatment attempts and hunts for “a donor/sperm” – analogous with my inevitable depressions, every time I – again – was not pregnant, I approached Dr. Olga in Skt. Petersburg. I had found our God Mother Dr. Olga and in the 2 attempt I conceived my twins in 2008.

Do not give up – even though we all do, every time we fail to get pregnant or keep the fetus – again. Do not give up! I have been in the infertility bubble for years. Keep trying! A baby is worth every absurd adaptation and odd choice along the way”.

Yours warmly, Lene Gammelgaard
