Like lots of women finding my ideal partner has taken second place to my building my career and&nbsp;I found myself suddenly being very aware of my biological clock ticking \u2013 something that&nbsp;I didn\u2019t think was possible. Two years of introduction agencies and&nbsp;internet dating later I was bored and&nbsp;fed up of pleasant evenings out with people who&nbsp;were all very nice but&nbsp;not anyone who&nbsp;I wanted to spend the rest of my life with and&nbsp;the clock was ticking louder.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So&nbsp;after a little bit of research into adoption I decided there had to be another way. My local IVF clinic had just started accepting single women and&nbsp;they were very helpful. Three IUI\u2019s and&nbsp;two IVF attempts later my beautiful daughter was born. I had always known that&nbsp;I didn\u2019t want my daughter to be an only child.\u00a0 So&nbsp;after two years I went back to my clinic but&nbsp;by then the law had changed, the end of donor anonymity had bitten and&nbsp;there was no sperm and&nbsp;what little sperm there was had to be imported from abroad. I gave it a go, but&nbsp;the pregnancy ended in&nbsp;miscarriage.\u00a0 My experience at&nbsp;the clinic the first time around had been great, my experience the second time around had been awful.\u00a0 I was on&nbsp;a conveyer belt of desperate women who&nbsp;were shipped in&nbsp;and&nbsp;shipped out, the care given by the staff the first time was gone, the waiting room was full, there were people queuing in&nbsp;the hallways, everyone running around not really knowing what they were doing.\u00a0 If&nbsp;I had had that&nbsp;experience the first time around I think I never would have gone back. At&nbsp;that point I decided to look further a field.\u00a0 Because&nbsp;I was very keen to keep to a blonde hair and&nbsp;blue eyed donor\u00a0 I decided to look at&nbsp;the Northern European countries. A lot of media coverage had been shown on&nbsp;TV about Russian IVF clinics and&nbsp;I looked further into this.\u00a0 I decided not to go with the clinic that&nbsp;had been on&nbsp;the TV as&nbsp;they were now&nbsp;reporting a waiting list but&nbsp;found the clinic in&nbsp;St Petersburg instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>From the moment I contacted the clinic everything went like clockwork, an English speaking consultant who&nbsp;contacted you directly, answered your questions with knowledge, understanding and&nbsp;care and&nbsp;had a clear process to follow.\u00a0 I landed in&nbsp;Russia, small daughter in&nbsp;tow, was met by an English speaking taxi driver who&nbsp;was able to show me where&nbsp;everything was and&nbsp;off I went to my first trip to the clinic. Just over two hours later, all tests complete, all questions answered, everything explained in&nbsp;a clear way I left with a plan. I came back to the UK, made the preparations for&nbsp;treatment, had a very helpful GP who&nbsp;was able to help me access all the relevant medication and&nbsp;I started treatment. At&nbsp;the Russian end I was given a choice of donors, I was always communicated with, any questions were answered promptly and&nbsp;before I knew it I was back in&nbsp;Russia on&nbsp;a cold January day.\u00a0 The care given by the clinic was exemplary and&nbsp;I always felt that&nbsp;I was in&nbsp;very good hands, always treated with respect and&nbsp;with the flexibility to suit my individual circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>My treatment was successful and&nbsp;9 months later my second daughter was born, a beautiful blonde haired, blue eyed little gem and&nbsp;interestingly a lot like her big sister. Not everyone\u2019s circumstances are as&nbsp;straightforward as&nbsp;mine, and&nbsp;I suspect that&nbsp;the clinic will have it\u2019s failures as&nbsp;well as&nbsp;it\u2019s successes, but&nbsp;in terms of service I would describe it as&nbsp;world class, if&nbsp;they can help you they will.<\/p>\n<p>I guess my greatest recommendation comes from the fact that&nbsp;I intend to go back next year and&nbsp;have no doubt that&nbsp;the service provided&nbsp;will be as&nbsp;good as&nbsp;it gets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a single female who has chosen to have a family on my own&#8230;..My treatment was successful and 9 months later my second daughter was born, a beautiful blonde haired, blue eyed little gem and interestingly a lot like her big sister.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Clinic in Russia - O.L.G.A.
