Seven years of hardship and&nbsp;longing. Seven years of despair and&nbsp;hope. And&nbsp;finally, after&nbsp;eight long years we set our eyes on&nbsp;our daughter in&nbsp;January 2023. Our dreams came true, and&nbsp;we owe all our thanks to the OLGA Clinic.<\/p>\n<p>We started to try for&nbsp;a baby when&nbsp;I was 33 years old (2016) and&nbsp;the years went by, and&nbsp;nothing happened. We didn&#8217;t get pregnant, and&nbsp;we finally sought help and&nbsp;after some examinations I was told I had plenty of follicles and&nbsp;we needed to give it more time. We got both a second and&nbsp;a third and&nbsp;a fourth opinion and&nbsp;we were repeatedly told that&nbsp;we would not need to worry, and&nbsp;we would become pregnant naturally. We continuously were given the same answer \u2014 give it more time.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I was referred to a specialist who&nbsp;found a polyp the size of a golf ball in&nbsp;my uterus. The polyp had effectively hindered any chance of me getting pregnant. In&nbsp;2020 the polyp was removed during surgery and&nbsp;just a couple of months later I became pregnant. Unfortunately, we experienced a missed miscarriage and&nbsp;due to complications, l had to undergo a surgery to stop excessive bleeding and&nbsp;remove remaining tissue. The miscarriage hit us hard, but&nbsp;we were ready to give it another try. I became pregnant again but&nbsp;again I experienced a miscarriage, excessive bleeding and&nbsp;had to undergo another surgery. Loosing yet&nbsp;another pregnancy after&nbsp;waiting for&nbsp;so long became even&nbsp;a heavier blow. I was exhausted and&nbsp;depressed, and&nbsp;I knew I couldn&#8217;t just continue trying as&nbsp;we had done previously and&nbsp;that we had to do things differently.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2'

I knew my egg quality had diminished and&nbsp;was diminishing even&nbsp;more rapidly each day now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I quickly came to the realisation that:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>it was something wrong with my uterus after&nbsp;all the surgeries and&nbsp;I was not willing to risk yet&nbsp;another pregnancy without a proper check-up<\/li>\n<li>that&nbsp;we would need to PGT-A test our embryos for&nbsp;abnormalities to hinder possible miscarriages.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Since&nbsp;these options were not available in&nbsp;Sweden, I looked into clinics abroad and&nbsp;came across the OLGA clinic.<\/p>\n<p>Talking to the clinic, it was the first time I felt heard and&nbsp;seen, it was the first time I was given concrete suggestions and&nbsp;options tailored to me and&nbsp;it was the first time in&nbsp;a long time I felt hope. This was during the height of the Coronavirus, yet&nbsp;we decided that&nbsp;OLGA Clinic was our best chance of having a baby and&nbsp;decided to go.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w40p fr\" src=\"https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-sleeping-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>I was given a 3 IVF package with my own eggs, <a href=\"\/en\/pgt-a\/\">PGT-A<\/a> and&nbsp;<a href=\"\/en\/live-birth-money-back-guarantee\/\">money back guarantee of live birth<\/a> and&nbsp;already the same year 2021 I had my first egg retrieval in&nbsp;Saint Petersburg.<\/p>\n<p>We received 6 embryos and&nbsp;the PGT-A test result revealed that&nbsp;we had 2 chromosomally normal embryos. Hoping for&nbsp;not only one child but&nbsp;possibly two, I had an extra egg retrieval outside of the guarantee package and&nbsp;received 4 embryos out of which&nbsp;1 embryo tested chromosomally normal.<\/p>\n<p>After&nbsp;that I underwent a hysteroscopy that&nbsp;revealed that&nbsp;I had scar tissue and&nbsp;micro polyps that&nbsp;were removed. My uterus was prepared for&nbsp;receiving an embryo and&nbsp;in April 2022 I had my embryo transfer and&nbsp;I gave birth to our daughter in&nbsp;January 2023.<\/p>\n<p>In&nbsp;retrospect it is clear that&nbsp;we saved so&nbsp;much time and&nbsp;heartache by getting the right treatment tailored for&nbsp;us. I am convinced that&nbsp;the holistic approach that&nbsp;we received from the OLGA Clinic was crucial for&nbsp;us to finally become parents.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-4' class='gallery galleryid-20685 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-scaled.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"1027\" src=\"https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-1200x1600.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-scaled.jpg 900w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-135x180.jpg 135w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-386x515.jpg 386w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-675x900.jpg 675w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-381x508.jpg 381w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-278x370.jpg 278w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-350x466.jpg 350w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-306x408.jpg 306w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-146x195.jpg 146w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-229x305.jpg 229w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-214x285.jpg 214w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-50x67.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-1-scaled.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"1027\" src=\"https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-1-1200x1600.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-1-scaled.jpg 900w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-1-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-1-135x180.jpg 135w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-1-386x515.jpg 386w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-1-675x900.jpg 675w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-1-381x508.jpg 381w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-1-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-1-278x370.jpg 278w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-1-350x466.jpg 350w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-1-306x408.jpg 306w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-1-146x195.jpg 146w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-1-229x305.jpg 229w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-1-214x285.jpg 214w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-1-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Esme-little-1-50x67.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>I wish above all to take this opportunity to thank you and&nbsp;your amazing coworkers Dr. Nina, Anastasia and&nbsp;Dr. Nathalia in&nbsp;helping me achieving my dream of becoming a mother.

Fertility Clinic in&nbsp;St. Petersburg in&nbsp;2021 after&nbsp;seven years of trying to conceive naturally. Their several spontaneous pregnancies had stopped developing, and&nbsp;Costan, at&nbsp;39, knew age was a significant factor. In&nbsp;April 2021 they had an individual online consultation <a href=\"\/en\/team\/doctors\/dr-alena-egorova\/\">with our expert doctor, Dr. Alena Egorova<\/a>. During this consultation, they discussed their situation and&nbsp;outlined the next steps. Together, they decided to pursue IVF, hoping to shorten the time to achieve their dream of a baby. After&nbsp;reviewing their medical history, we saw great potential for&nbsp;treatment. We confirmed our 3-IVF package with own eggs and&nbsp;PGT-A and&nbsp;live birth money back guarantee.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was honored to be Costan and&nbsp;Per\u2019s treating doctor and&nbsp;together we started our journey of\u00a0 turning their dream into reality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Our medical approach involved careful planning, dividing the treatment into several steps, each of them focused on&nbsp;finding important components for&nbsp;the recipe of a future successful pregnancy:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Careful Ovarian stimulation and&nbsp;creation of embryos with PGT-A: to exclude abnormal embryos<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uterus and&nbsp;Endometrium Focus: hysteroscopy allowed us to examine the uterus in&nbsp;detail, take biopsies for&nbsp;immunohistochemical tests, and&nbsp;perform an ERA test to determine the implantation window.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gentle Embryo Transfer: following an individualized treatment plan.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first egg retrieval was planned for&nbsp;June 2021. Costan started injections and&nbsp;sent me her ultrasound results. However, during the ovarian stimulation, I noticed that&nbsp;her ovaries didn&#8217;t respond well. Only one follicle started to grow despite her good ovarian reserve. Because&nbsp;of this, I decided to cancel the attempt. We met with Costan and&nbsp;Per on&nbsp;Skype to discuss the next steps. I explained to the couple that&nbsp;Constan had a good ovarian potential, and&nbsp;I would like to see a different reaction from her ovaries. I made some adjustments to the treatment plan and&nbsp;new stimulation with antagonist priming was started in&nbsp;August. I chose a priming protocol because&nbsp;it helps to avoid an asynchronous growth of follicles and&nbsp;get a homogeneous cohort of follicles ready for&nbsp;egg pick up. As&nbsp;a result, 11 eggs were collected, and&nbsp;our embryologists created 6 blastocysts, 2 of which&nbsp;were found to be chromosomally normal by PGT-A.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this milestone completed, we focused on&nbsp;preparing the uterus for&nbsp;embryo transfer. \u00a0Hysteroscopy and&nbsp;the ERA test were performed, followed by special therapy to ensure the endometrium&#8217;s good recovery after&nbsp;the miscarriages and&nbsp;improved receptivity for&nbsp;the forthcoming embryo transfer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The embryo transfer in&nbsp;April 2022 was a landmark moment for&nbsp;Costan and&nbsp;Per and&nbsp;in January 2023 they became parents.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When&nbsp;a patient is undergoing fertility diagnostics and&nbsp;treatment, it is important to evaluate and&nbsp;analyze each potential reason of infertility and\/or miscarriage and&nbsp;focus on&nbsp;solving each and&nbsp;every reason of bad luck. Even&nbsp;if&nbsp;something does not go according to plan, do not despair, because&nbsp;the body is not a machine. You need to stop and&nbsp;carefully analyze the new data before&nbsp;taking the next step. Trust and&nbsp;partnership are crucial for&nbsp;successful treatment. After&nbsp;a thorough analysis of the patient&#8217;s medical history, we develop an individual path for&nbsp;each patient to achieve successful pregnancy and&nbsp;live birth. Many components must be considered before&nbsp;the embryo transfer is performed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nIf\u00a0your fertility treatment did not succeed yet\u00a0in other clinics, discuss your situation with us and\u00a0find out about best options by O.L.G.A.
