I would like to advise the couples that are about to enter the process of in vitro fertilization not to let their dream go to waste. It’s worth it!

I don’t know how to describe what i have experienced these two years in my effort to have a child. My emotions were and still are quite mixed…I will start by saying that when i was informed by my doctor that the only way to have a child was to move forward with an in vitro fertilization, due to various problems we had, me and my husband…  

At this point, i would like to emphasize the subtle way my doctor, Mihalis Fragkoulidis, approached me. The way someone talks toy you about it plays a big role. We got over it. An do, the process started! “A woman must have positive feelings”, i am sure you have all heard that!

Hard! Very hard! But you try! It went well! At least it seemed so…. After four months and while i was pregnant, i had to deal with the worst scenario…that of miscarriage. The world fell apart around me. The baby that we saw in the ultrasounds with my husband and my doctor, was not alive anymore. That is when you have to stand on your feet and think: life does not end here. The effort continues! I do not want to stay on that part of my life though, as i feel that i am being unfair to the little child i am holding right now.

The second in vitro fertilization attempt began. Even harder than the first one… I had to be hospitalized a few time in the maternity hospital during my pregnancy. I had to undergo a serious surgery by my doctor, mr Fragkoulidis.

The first question i asked my doctor before we went in was: “What happens now with the pregnancy?”.
The answer i got was straddling…”Irene, my primary interest is for you to be ok and then the baby. I will do everything in my power”. And so it was! I felt safe with my doctor.  Besides, through everything that happened,  on one side was my husband and on the other my doctor. How not to feel trust?

 The time of labor came! We couldn’t believe it! We held our baby in our arms…the one we saw in the ultrasounds, the one i felt inside me for nine whole months… Joy, excitement, laughter…

Finally, i would like to advise the couples that are about to enter the process of in vitro fertilization not to let their dream go to waste. It is worth it! The aid of the doctor and the trust you feel with are very important. I was very lucky in that regard! I sensed that the joy i felt when i held my baby in my arms, my doctor, Mihalis Fragkoulidis, felt it too. That’s why me and my husband woulk like to thank him again for everything….

E.K’s (26) adventure is a story that brings you sentiment and admiration and that is why she found the strength  to properly manage her misfortune with the miscarriage she had after the first successful in vitro fertilization attempt. It is really hard to manage to support psychologically a woman when you have given her something so valuable and, for some reason, life comes and takes it back without warning.
We believe that only by moving forward can you overcome these situations.
That is what E.K. did and went forward with the second attempt, showing once more trust and faith in herself.

After each failure don’t look back, don’t let yourselves be carried away by the storm of life and the anxiety for tomorrow, don’t stay in the same spot. Get up and move forward.
Give a solution by searching the next step forward, as that will help you not only forget, but also succeed.
Failure and misfortune are erased from you mind and your heart only with success.
