Hi, everybody. I’m infertile due to a low ovarian reserve and PCOS. My husband and I have been TTC for nearly 4 years. We have already had two IVFs, and after the second one the fertility expert we consulted advised us to try egg donation. Both of us are UK residents, but at present we are living in France because of my husband’s work. Egg donation is forbidden here, so we have to go somewhere abroad to donate an oocyte.

We’ve got interested in one Ukrainian clinic. It’s called [DELETED]. We’ve chosen it because we have found loads of favorable feedbacks about this clinic on various fertility and pregnancy forums. In addition, our close friends who were also infertile advised us to contact it, because they had a successful egg donation program there.

We contacted this clinic via email, and two weeks ago we visited Ukraine for the first time.

I’m going to share my feedback with you and ask you to give me a piece of advice in order to understand what to do further.

When we came to Ukraine, we were met at the airport by a very courteous translator. Then we were taken to a nice apartment to have some rest.

The following day, a driver took us to the clinic, and this was the end of the things we liked about this clinic.

[DELETED] is a tiny clinic located in a small private villa. When we entered the hall we were surprised to see large queues everywhere. There wasn’t even a vacant place to stand. Some people were even sitting on the stairs. We saw loads of couples with newly born children there. Some of them were crying and it made the atmosphere in the clinic unbearable…

A cold and unfriendly administrator told us that our manager in charge is busy, so we have to wait our turn. Overall, we waited nearly 2 hours before the manager came into the clinic hall and invited us to see a doctor.

The doctor who spoke with us seemed to be a real expert, but she treated us so formally….

We’ve decided not to sign up a contract yet, and went back to France.

P.S. We visited another Ukrainian clinic in Kiev. It was called Isida. The things were different there… Extremely polite and friendly administrator, very understandable and sympathizing doctor and empty clinic hall. There were no queues and noise. The atmosphere is very calm and even frightening.

Now I have one question: both clinics suit us, but we don’t know which one to choose: a noisy or quiet one??? Maybe, there is anybody here who has got an egg donation in Ukraine??? Please share your experience with me.

Hi. How are you? I hope you are fine. I hope that surrogacy was successful for you. Can you share your experience? Many infertile women want to hear. They will get motivation. I am really sorry about your infertility. Now I hope it was your past. You are having your baby. This all due to surrogacy. It is a blessing. It is the last hope for infertile couples. Ukraine is best for infertility treatment. I hope you have done with the procedure. Good wishes to you.
