A Solution in Cyprus and a New Hope

My husband and I had been dreaming of becoming parents for 10 years. In the early years, when we couldn’t achieve pregnancy naturally, we went to see a doctor. The tests showed that I had low ovarian reserve and my husband had severe sperm morphology problems. With these results, we were told that IVF would be our only option.

But the journey was far from easy. At the first IVF center in our city, no embryos developed in our first attempt, so we couldn’t even proceed to transfer. In the second attempt, an embryo transfer was done, but no pregnancy occurred. In the third attempt, I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks. With each failure, I felt more hopeless and kept asking myself, “Will I ever be a mother?”

Over the following years, we tried five more IVF cycles at different clinics. But each time, embryo development was slow, quality was poor, and genetic testing left us with no healthy embryos. Doctors kept reminding me that my age was advancing and our chances were shrinking.

Just when we were about to give up, a friend told us about the American IVF Center in Cyprus. We learned that they used advanced methods like PRP treatment, mitochondrial transfer, and special embryo monitoring systems. At our very first consultation, the doctor created a personalized plan with detailed hormone analysis and genetic testing to identify the root causes.

My treatment included PRP injections to support my ovarian reserve, mitochondrial transfer to improve egg quality by boosting energy from young and healthy cells, and embryo genetic screening (PGT-A) so only healthy embryos would be selected. For my husband, the IMSI technique was used to choose the healthiest sperm cells.

This time, the process felt completely different. A total of 8 eggs were retrieved, 5 were fertilized, and 2 were found to be genetically healthy. The transferred embryo implanted, and for the first time in my life, I saw two lines on a pregnancy test.

The pregnancy wasn’t without challenges. I had bleeding risks in the first trimester, but thanks to my doctor’s close monitoring, we got through it safely. After 10 long years of waiting, at 37 weeks, I finally held my healthy twin babies in my arms.

Through this journey, I realized how important patience, the right center, and the right experts truly are. Success sometimes depends not only on treatment itself but also on advanced technology and personalized approaches.

If you’re also struggling in your IVF journey, please don’t lose hope. Science and the right treatment can create miracles.
