Testimonials

My partner and I waited for just under 4 years for a donor and treatment in England. The treatment was very traumatic as we travelled from London to Bristol regularly, at short notice for blood tests to regulate my hormone levels only to be told that they were too high or not high enough. We were also required to have counselling as it is a requirement by law to inform the adult ‘child’ of who their natural parent is, the donor. We had our reservations regarding this but our need for a child was greater. We did this twice but weren’t successful the second time. The clinic and staff were wonderful, we couldn’t fault them at all and the treatment was successful the first time but unfortunately, it didn’t last and our dreams were shattered. Our combined age of over 80 meant that time was drastically against us and the prospect of waiting another four years was just too much. We started our search for an alternative treatment venue. Our search on the web introduced us to our future! Our first attempt took us to Cyprus. Obviously, we were both extremely nervous, we were travelling to an unknown country and placing our trust in people that we had never met before but our fears were completely unfounded. They were wonderful. We were met at the airport and transported to our hotel before meeting the team and collecting medication the following day. We were completely reassured and felt really comfortable with the whole plan. We had no language problems as the team speaks English well. Our hotel was exceptional and so too were the staff several of whom ferried us backwards and forwards to and from the clinic. Our stay in Cyprus was so good that we have returned three times already and are planning a longer stay next year. Unfortunately, our treatment didn’t work the first time but we had so much faith that we were undeterred and continued with our quest for a family. We had three attempts and were successful with our third attempt. If we had needed to continue with treatment a fourth, fifth or even sixth time, we would have. We are now four months pregnant and absolutely ecstatic. Our treatment didn’t stop when we left Cyprus, we were looked after with support and guidance right up until our twelfth week and are still in contact for reassurance now. If all goes to plan we are even considering a return visit to provide a little brother or sister for our developing child and that’s before giving birth!!

Our warmest and heartfelt thanks to all.
