Three years ago, at O.L.G.A. Clinic Seminar, I decided to place my hope and trust in O.L.G.A. Fertility Clinic. This turned out to be the best decision I have ever made, as it gave me my daughter.<\/p>\n

I have always wanted to have children, always. Ever since I was a child playing with my dolls. However, I have never had any desire to establish a nuclear family, and I concluded in early adulthood that it would suit me best to have children on my own. In 2016 \u2014 when it became legal in Sweden for singles to receive assisted fertilization, my process began. This process would be longer and above all much more difficult than I could ever have imagined.<\/p>\n

The last time I was in the seminar room in Malmoe was three years ago, I was tired, sad, and worn out and my longing was tearing me up inside. I had then undergone my region-funded IVF attempts, which resulted in six embryo transfers, two of which led to pregnancies that sadly ended in miscarriage \u2014 so-called missed abortions. At around the same time as I started my IVF attempts, I began listening to the podcast “Jag vill ha barn” (@jagvillhabarn<\/a>) with Cilla Holm, and somewhere in the back of my mind the clinic in St. Petersburg became my plan B. When the region-funded attempts were over, my plan B became a real option. All the valuable information about fertility that I received at the seminar, and the meeting with Olga, convinced me that it was the right path to follow.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I bought a money back guarantee package, which combined two attempts using own eggs and three embryo adoptions, and I ended up taking three trips to St. Petersburg. Both the clinic and I wanted to give my own eggs a chance, so during the first two trips, the clinic carried out egg retrieval. These did not result in any healthy embryos and therefore I turned to embryo adoption. The decision to “give up” on my eggs and thus my genes was initially difficult. I received enormous support from the clinic and invaluable help via therapy with Cilla Holm, so once it became clear that the chances of having a baby with my own eggs were very low compared to using donated eggs, the decision ended up being easy to make.<\/p>\n

In January 2021, I visited O.L.G.A. Clinic in St. Petersburg for the third time, and one frost-bitten morning, a perfect little embryo was transferred \u2014 a tiny snowflake. Just over a week later both the home test and the blood test showed that I was pregnant. I was extremely nervous before the first ultrasound, as it was during the ultrasound that I had learned that my two previous pregnancies had stopped. On the ultrasound screen, however, I saw the most beautiful thing I had ever seen \u2014 the beating heart of my little foetus. A fantastic pregnancy followed, and on September 18th, 2021, my dream child came into my world and made me a mother.<\/p>\n

I will always feel a deep gratitude towards Olga and her team for making my dream come true and giving me my beloved Elvira.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
