23 Years of Despair, 1 Miracle Filling Our Arms

I am 43 years old, and for 23 years I faced nothing but disappointment. We always tried naturally, but as other specialists said, my egg quality had diminished. We attempted IVF a few times, but no embryos ever developed. Doctors kept saying, “You’re too old,” and I became emotionally exhausted.

Just when we were about to give up, one evening I came across a video from the American IVF Center on social media. At first, it felt like such a big risk to me, but still, I boarded the plane. From the very first moment, the coordinator welcomed me so warmly. They carried out detailed hormone tests, and then suggested PRP treatment to help improve my egg reserve.

The whole medication process was a bit tough. Sometimes I even forgot to take my injections, and I had bruises on my chest. The day of the embryo transfer was incredibly emotional—my husband was trembling as well. After the transfer, I waited 12 days. I took the test, and it came out positive. I couldn’t believe it—I checked over and over again. I celebrated quietly, afraid it wasn’t real.

In the first trimester, I was told there was a risk of miscarriage, and I had light bleeding every day. But my doctor and my coordinator kept in touch with me constantly, reassuring me: “Be patient.” I read books, I prayed, and I held on. Later, around the 34th week, there was a small risk of preterm birth, and I stayed in the hospital for three days. But in the end, we welcomed a healthy 3.2 kg baby girl into the world!

When we left the hospital, my legs were trembling. After all those years, to finally return home with a warm baby in my arms—we cried and laughed together with my husband. Now we are living in indescribable happiness with our family.

As I write these words, my eyes fill with tears… To our doctor, to the whole team, to our coordinator, to the smiling staff who welcomed us at the door—we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. You were the ones who made our miracle possible.
