My plan was to take a decision at&nbsp;38. I did not have any knowledge about my fertility nor&nbsp;about what impacts it. After&nbsp;having not met Mr. Right by the age of 38 I started with fertility treatment just before&nbsp;turning 39 and&nbsp;did 2 inseminations and&nbsp;5 IVF attempts in&nbsp;Denmark.<\/p>\n<p>I was told that&nbsp;everything looked fine already when&nbsp;starting with inseminations but&nbsp;after my first missed abortion my doctor recommended me to turn to <a href=\"\/en\/team\/co-founders\/dr-olga-zaytseff\/\">Dr. Olga<\/a> for&nbsp;egg donation. I was devistaded\u2026 but&nbsp;after the second missed abortion I attended a seminar and&nbsp;the hope of <a href=\"\/en\/ivf\/\">IVF with PGT-A<\/a> (PGS) was lightended.<\/p>\n<p>I did a last try in&nbsp;Denmark with a frozen embryo but&nbsp;had already decided that&nbsp;my last IVF attempt with own eggs should be at&nbsp;Olga\u2019s clinic.<\/p>\n<p>We did the egg retrieval in&nbsp;beginning of November exactly two years ago. I was in&nbsp;New York and&nbsp;got the message from <a href=\"\/en\/team\/co-founders\/dr-elena-lapina\/\">Dr. Elena<\/a> that&nbsp;one out of my 8 eggs has turned into a good looking blastocyst.Though, I was devastated because&nbsp;I knew that&nbsp;my statistical chances that&nbsp;embryo had the right amount of chromosomes was very very low: it is one in&nbsp;five at&nbsp;the age of 40.<\/p>\n<p>In&nbsp;the meantime awaiting the answer from the <a href=\"\/en\/pgt-a\/\">PGT-A<\/a>, I drank champagne with one of my best friends and&nbsp;selected an egg donor. I was determined: I was going to be a mother and&nbsp;I was going to St Pete in&nbsp;January to have an embryo transfer no matter if&nbsp;it was my own egg or&nbsp;a donated egg.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Of course it was a tough process and&nbsp;I cried in&nbsp;sorrow while&nbsp;thinking that&nbsp;my family\u2019s genes would not be a part of my child. But&nbsp;the tears were not needed. My coordinator Alla turned back to me with the fantastic news that&nbsp;the embryo was normal for&nbsp;23 chromosomes!<\/p>\n<p>Before&nbsp;the embryo transfer I was informed about the plan-B. I thought &#8211; I already have it ready \u2014\u00a0egg donation, but&nbsp;O.L.G.A. clinic was talking about a plan-B for&nbsp;medication to use if&nbsp;I started to bleed in&nbsp;eraly pregnancy and&nbsp;had a risk of miscarriage. And&nbsp;I did start to blead and&nbsp;was\u00a0 nearly sure that&nbsp;I got a third miscarriage but&nbsp;the nurses at&nbsp;O.L.G.A. clinic convinced me to continue to stay in&nbsp;bed, take the medicine and&nbsp;have trust.\u00a0 After&nbsp;the first bleeding I had two others but&nbsp;at that&nbsp;time I did not worry. I was in&nbsp;safe hands and&nbsp;I knew that&nbsp;I had checked embryo with normal amount of chromosomes.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ar w40p\" src=\"\/upload\/image\/20200207045325347s.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To know that&nbsp;I carry a healthy embryo was to me a very important thing, that&nbsp;made me stop worrying and&nbsp;having a very positive pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>The support from Dr. Elena, Dr. Olga, my coordinator Alla and&nbsp;nurses was very convincing and&nbsp;positive.<\/p>\n<p>If&nbsp;you are about to do IVF abroad\/privately in&nbsp;Sweden, my recommendation is to go directly to O.L.G.A. Clinic for&nbsp;IVF with your own eggs with PGT-A (PGS). By O.L.G.A. you get individualized stimulation for&nbsp;better egg quality and&nbsp;clear understanding of your embryo situation. You will know that&nbsp;you have got an embryo transferred with normal amount of chromosomes and&nbsp;hence you have much much lower risk of miscarrage.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Some last recommendations\u00a0and learnings from Anna:<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"ticks\">\n<li><em>Trying to get pregnant is a very emotional activity. Tell people around you so&nbsp;they know what you are going through. Especially your boss! My boss forced me to stay at&nbsp;home a week after&nbsp;my first bleeding even&nbsp;if&nbsp;I was ok&nbsp;:-)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The medical treatment with O.L.G.A. Clinic is much more thorough than&nbsp;in&nbsp;e.g.&nbsp;Denmark but&nbsp;my understanding is that&nbsp;they know exactly what they are doing. You will learn to do the injections and&nbsp;laugh at&nbsp;it.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>I was afraid of anaesthesia during egg retrieval but&nbsp;it is very light and&nbsp;I was fully awake after&nbsp;30 min.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>St. Petersburg and&nbsp;Russia can seem far away and&nbsp;scary. It is a beautiful city and&nbsp;people are very friendly and&nbsp;Olga and&nbsp;her team know exactly what they are doing and&nbsp;take very good care of you.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;If you are about to do IVF abroad\/privately in Sweden, my recommendation is to go directly to O.L.G.A.
