After&nbsp;a previous relationship ended, I met my current partner, and&nbsp;together we decided to move from Finland to Sweden.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;We then started our fertility treatments with the county council trials in&nbsp;Sweden. Just&nbsp;as&nbsp;in Finland, the approach was standardized, with little to no adaptation based on&nbsp;individual needs. I repeatedly questioned this\u2014 Could something be done differently? Is there any room for&nbsp;adjustments? However, the answer was always the same: same recipe for&nbsp;everyone with no modifications.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It was also a question of my age. I was 39 when&nbsp;we were doing the county council trials, approaching 40. We did our three trials, but&nbsp;didn&#8217;t get pregnant with any of them. I had never got pregnant before&nbsp;that either. When&nbsp;the treatments failed, the doctors recommended that&nbsp;we try egg donation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Even&nbsp;before&nbsp;reaching this point, I had heard about OLGA and&nbsp;was interested in&nbsp;their approach. However, given the pandemic, we initially decided to pursue egg donation in&nbsp;Finland, where&nbsp;egg donation had been established for&nbsp;a longer time than&nbsp;in&nbsp;Sweden. In&nbsp;hindsight, this turned out to be a waste of money, as&nbsp;the process followed the same rigid protocol. Even&nbsp;though&nbsp;this time it was donated eggs, they ran the same protocol over and&nbsp;over again and&nbsp;nothing stuck.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As&nbsp;soon&nbsp;as&nbsp;we had done the third attempt and&nbsp;it didn&#8217;t work, we contacted the OLGA Clinic and&nbsp;got in&nbsp;touch with them before&nbsp;the summer 2021. By autumn, we made the decision to begin treatment with them. In&nbsp;October\/November, we took our first trip to St. Petersburg. During this visit, I had my egg retrieval, while&nbsp;my partner provided&nbsp;his sperm sample. I stayed for&nbsp;12 days instead of the originally planned 10, as&nbsp;the clinic wanted to allow more time for&nbsp;the eggs to develop. This experience taught us the importance of having flexible flight tickets.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In&nbsp;January, I returned for&nbsp;a hysteroscopy \u2014 something no one had previously suggested. That&nbsp;was the first time that&nbsp;anyone really cared about the environment in&nbsp;my uterus \u2014 How is it doing? What condition is it in? I was nervous about what they might find, but&nbsp;the procedure went smoothly, and&nbsp;the results were reassuring. This visit was relatively short, lasting only five days.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Then, the war started, and&nbsp;that&#8217;s when&nbsp;it got exciting. We were supposed to go back in&nbsp;April 2022 for&nbsp;the first implantation but&nbsp;then I got Covid at&nbsp;the end of March. The doctors advised us to postpone the procedure for&nbsp;a month to allow my body to fully recover before&nbsp;implantation. When&nbsp;we finally returned in&nbsp;May, and&nbsp;then it didn&#8217;t work out.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Following this setback, I had a discussion with my doctor. I mentioned that&nbsp;I rarely get sick, apart from COVID-19, and&nbsp;wondered if&nbsp;my immune system might be playing a role in&nbsp;the failed implantation. The medical team took this seriously, discussed it and&nbsp;then they started a slightly different treatment to prepare for&nbsp;the next time I was there in&nbsp;July 2022. That&nbsp;time it worked. For&nbsp;the first time in&nbsp;my life I saw a positive pregnancy test. At&nbsp;41 years old, I was finally pregnant. It was absolutely fantastic.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Now, I am well along in&nbsp;my pregnancy, feeling good. I am so&nbsp;incredibly grateful to the OLGA clinic, because&nbsp;I am also completely convinced that&nbsp;if&nbsp;I had continued to fight here in&nbsp;Sweden that&nbsp;nothing would have come of it. I am disappointed in&nbsp;the Swedish and&nbsp;Finnish IVF care and&nbsp;fertility care, because&nbsp;there I never felt truly heard or&nbsp;supported in&nbsp;my journey. At&nbsp;OLGA clinic, on&nbsp;the opposite, the doctors listened to what I asked about and&nbsp;what I pointed out. I think it is about respect. I appreciate it immensely and&nbsp;I am very grateful for&nbsp;this. If&nbsp;everything goes well, at&nbsp;the beginning of March, a little one will arrive, our little daughter.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Thank you for&nbsp;reading my story.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our seminar in Stockholm 21 April 2024 @morotsliv shared about her 16 year fertility journey and how she became a mother using help from OLGA Fertility Clinic St. Petersburg<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20100,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[24],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>IVF-story of Cecilia - O.L.G.A.
