Clinic"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Two weeks ago Josefine and&nbsp;Fredrik have got their sweet little daughter at&nbsp;their first <a href=\"\/en\/egg-donation\/\">egg donation<\/a> attempt in&nbsp;O.L.G.A. Clinic. To achieve this great success, Josefine has done huge preliminary work: she removed a large fibroid and&nbsp;lost 25kg (and Fredrik 45). Josefine&#8217;s and&nbsp;Fredrik&#8217;s huge efforts were rewarded: the very first embryo transfer has resulted in&nbsp;their lovely baby girl Lilou.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Josefine <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/pjnilsson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">@pjnilsson<\/a> and&nbsp;Fredrik:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>We met late in&nbsp;life, when&nbsp;Josefine was 36 and&nbsp;Fredrik was 43, so&nbsp;we both knew that&nbsp;time was of great essence if&nbsp;we want to start a family. After&nbsp;a couple of months, we decided to start trying for&nbsp;a baby and&nbsp;a whole year went by, but&nbsp;nothing happened. When&nbsp;we finally contacted a fertility clinic in&nbsp;Malm\u00f6, Sweden, we got the disappointing news that&nbsp;Josefines AMH (Anti-M\u00fcllerin Hormone) was next to non-existing, which&nbsp;means that&nbsp;the egg reserve is very low. Our gynecologist said then and&nbsp;there that&nbsp;we\u2019d probably need to consider alternatives, like egg donation.<\/p>\n<p>To be able to get free medical help with IVF via the state in&nbsp;Sweden, Josefine had to lose weight to get an BMI (Body Mass Index) under 30. The entire spring of 2019, we turned our lives upside down and&nbsp;started eating and&nbsp;living more healthy lives. This gave results and&nbsp;while Josefine lost 25 kg, Fredrik joined and&nbsp;lost 45 kg. In&nbsp;September 2019 we did our first and&nbsp;only IVF at&nbsp;RMC (Reproduktionsmedicinskt centrum) in&nbsp;Malm\u00f6. The attempt had to be discontinued since&nbsp;Josefine only had one follicle, which&nbsp;means the clinic didn\u2019t want to do an egg retrieval. We were put in&nbsp;queue for&nbsp;egg donation, but&nbsp;since the queue is long, we were not guaranteed to make it before&nbsp;Josefine turned 40. At&nbsp;the age of 40 you can\u2019t get any financial help with IVF, if&nbsp;you\u2019re a woman.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w50p ar\" src=\"https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/199752348_117283317217278_7714725959776869987_n.jpg\" alt=\"Sweet little daughter Lilou\" \/>We had already been in&nbsp;contact with Dr Olga and&nbsp;her amazing team in&nbsp;the spring of 2019, to sort of check out our alternatives. We went to one of Dr. Olga&#8217;s seminar and&nbsp;met Dr. Olga and&nbsp;Cilla Holm, which&nbsp;was so&nbsp;informative, and&nbsp;we learned more about fertility and&nbsp;fertility treatments that&nbsp;night than&nbsp;we had during our earlier contacts with the IVF world. So, when&nbsp;we were placed in&nbsp;queue for&nbsp;egg donation at&nbsp;our Swedish IVF clinic we decided to contact Dr. Olga and&nbsp;proceed with the help of her team. Even&nbsp;if&nbsp;it meant spending more money, we wanted to reduce time and&nbsp;start our family as&nbsp;soon&nbsp;as&nbsp;possible.<\/p>\n<p>We were offered a guarantee package, including IVF with own eggs and&nbsp;donated eggs. Our first trip to St. Petersburg took place in&nbsp;January 2020. We were met by a beautiful and&nbsp;very cold city, which&nbsp;we both immediately loved. We got one egg, during this IVF with own eggs, which&nbsp;stopped developing at&nbsp;day 5. We were offered another try with Josefines eggs, but&nbsp;we were ready to let go of Josefines genes and&nbsp;move on&nbsp;with egg donation. We believe that&nbsp;you truly have to believe in&nbsp;the process, otherwise it\u2019s no use going through a stimulation and&nbsp;egg retrieval.<\/p>\n<p>We travelled to St. Petersburg again in&nbsp;February 2020 to do a hysteroscopy. It was at&nbsp;this point we got the information that&nbsp;Josefine needed to undergo surgery to remove a big subserosal fibroid, located outside of the uterus. It measured 8,5 x 6 cm in&nbsp;diameter and&nbsp;we called it Steve. Our doctor at&nbsp;O.L.G.A. Fertility Clinic, Dr. Alena, was sure that&nbsp;the fibroid would make it impossible to achieve pregnancy and&nbsp;to keep the pregnancy. The surgery was planned to take place in&nbsp;March 2020 in&nbsp;St. Petersburg but&nbsp;our trip had to be cancelled the same day of our departure, since&nbsp;the coronavirus hit the world and&nbsp;all the boarders closed down one by one. To make sure we didn\u2019t waste time we decided to have the surgery done in&nbsp;Sweden instead. The summer of 2020 Josefine therefore underwent two big surgical procedures and&nbsp;removed the fibroid and&nbsp;the gall bladder.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w50p ar\" src=\"https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/198508197_498629288053777_8729141642116140036_n.jpg\" alt=\"Fredrik and&nbsp;Lilou\" \/>The rest of the summer was spent recovering and&nbsp;preparing for&nbsp;egg donation. We got wonderful help from the clinic and&nbsp;our coordinator Valeria to choose an egg donor. This was maybe the most surreal step in&nbsp;the process, to look through the clinic&#8217;s database of egg donors to choose one that&nbsp;matches Josefines looks. In&nbsp;the end we\u2019re so&nbsp;happy with our choice since&nbsp;it feels like a perfect match. We did our first embryo transfer in&nbsp;September 2020, which&nbsp;resulted in&nbsp;our most longed for&nbsp;and much-loved daughter, Lilou. She\u2019s truly the apple of our eyes and&nbsp;we\u2019re so&nbsp;in love with her.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re so&nbsp;glad that&nbsp;we chose O.L.G.A. Fertility Clinic. The service and&nbsp;help that&nbsp;the clinic has provided&nbsp;has been first class and&nbsp;we\u2019ve always felt extremely looked after. Except being professional and&nbsp;very competent, everybody at&nbsp;the clinic has treated us with warmth and&nbsp;consideration, which&nbsp;means so&nbsp;much when&nbsp;you\u2019re in&nbsp;the dire situation to undergo fertility treatment. Dr. Olga and&nbsp;her amazing team helped two miserable people and&nbsp;turned us into a loving family of three, and&nbsp;for&nbsp;this we\u2019ll always be thankful.<\/p>\n<p><em>Josefine, Fredrik and&nbsp;Lilou<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Josefine and Fredrik have got their sweet little daughter at their first egg donation attempt in O.L.G.A.
