Hello, I’m Olivia.
Nine years ago, at 28, I received a diagnosis of premature early
menopause. I was informed that if I wanted to have children, I would need
to consider egg donation. Despite the idea of needing an egg donor, our
desire to have kids was stronger. What truly stressed me out was figuring
out the logistics and how to navigate the process. I wished for someone to
guide me through each step, explaining what to do, when to do it, and why.
I’m someone who thrives on following clear instructions and staying
committed to my goals.
As we explored our options, we found Ira and Embryon. Ira was incredibly
sensitive and knowledgeable about egg donation and understood the
emotions I was experiencing during our initial conversation about our
choices. I remember our first meeting lasting over two hours, filled with
questions about the program, the clinic, and all the potential “what ifs”
regarding an unsuccessful embryo transfer. After that first discussion, we
met two more times and had several lengthy phone calls to address all my
additional questions I had before officially contracting with Embryon.
Ira was there for me throughout the entire journey, coordinating the
necessary tests, timing everything with my OB-GYN, arranging the sperm
pickup for the clinic, and supporting me from the moment I arrived in Kyiv
until I returned home. Even during the anxious wait for my pregnancy blood
test, Ira was a comforting presence, helping me manage my nerves.
Ultimately, I became pregnant with triplets, but after a reduction, I faced the
heartbreaking termination of the pregnancy at 22 weeks. This setback
didn’t stop us; we decided to transfer one 5-day embryo instead. Nine
months later, my daughter was born. Three years after that, I underwent my
third embryo transfer and was thrilled to welcome my son into the world.
Throughout these years, my husband and I have kept in touch with Ira, who
has always been available whenever we needed him. Now, at 39, I’m
preparing for my final attempt to conceive, hoping for a third child. Ira is still
by our side, supporting us every step of the way.
I can't express enough how much we recommend Ira, and we will forever
be grateful to Ira and The Embryon Family.
