PGD - Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis Europe

After many years of failed IVF treatments at other clinics, Dr. Athanasiou made this terrifying and difficult process so wonderful for us. From the first moment, we felt that we were dealing with real professionals. Dr. Vasilios Athanasiou made it clear from the beginning that he wants us to have a child from the first attempt. Our level of confidence was extremely low and it was difficult to believe that we could reach pregnancy from the 1st attempt. Dr. Athanasiou from the very first meeting told us that he could not do magic, but he can do science. We followed his instructions to the fullest, and he gave us confidence that we will soon have a child. The miracle happened... I got pregnant on the 1st attempt. Today our son is three months old, healthy and happy. We want to thank the entire staff of the IVF Athens Center. They are all extremely skilled, friendly, supportive, and professional.

Very easy to deal with. Warm, friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Every mother remembers the day when a test shows such a long-awaited result. I, too, remember how I said that I was pregnant, how everybody was crying for joy. I just had no emotions, because for the 5 years of waiting probably all tears had been wept; such things happen. It was a long journey to the happiness of being a mother. My greatest gratitude to God and the people who sent me along the right path. Advised me on Gryshchenko Clinic-IVF. I am very grateful to doctor Valentyn Parashchuk and the whole team of the Clinic. They all did their best to ensure that everything turned out just fine. A year after my first visit I became pregnant. And it was our victory! For those 5 years before the positive result, there had been everything: tears, despair, depression, a lot of hormones taken, extra 15 kg gained and a big question: why? Why everyone around who wants and does not want to become pregnant, except me??? What is wrong with me? I have learned one thing: if there are questions, there must be is an answer. They just need to be found. So all of us: me, doctor Valentyn Parashchuk and the team were searching. Corrected all the details with my body And about 9 months later doctor Valentyn Parashchuk himself was surprised why it did not work. A short IVF program was proposed. I was ready for anything! That was the first in my life anesthesia, and there was hope that everything would be successful! Everything was done correctly by doctors. But the IVF did not work out. There came the day when it was necessary to take a pregnancy test, and the result was negative. Frankly, these were the 3 hardest days of my life. Three days of tears, questions and severe depression and despair was so deep that everything around seemed to be useless, without any meaning but thanks to God, it lasted for 3 days only. Thanks to the support, we still moved on to the goal. I was offered a hysteroscopy and there was found the reason why it took so long. In the middle of the uterus, there were a lot of polyps (they could not be seen in ultrasound) which made it impossible for the embryo to settle down. And just imagine, 2 weeks after the hysteroscopy I see the first test in my life with a positive result! I jumped with joy, immediately called doctor Valentyn Parashchuk. But this pregnancy was not destined to last: it only developed for 2 weeks, and that was it. For myself, I realized that Mother Nature was smarter than us, and we just had to accept it. I could only wait for the next protocol coming in 3 months. But God knows how and when everything should happen. The following month I was pregnant again! Since the moment when I became a mother, my life has been divided into «before» and «after». And you know, there are not enough words to describe the “AFTER”. Being a mother is the super greatest gift from God! I knew that it was cool, but it turned out that I just did not know what a wonderful feeling it was. With the first cry of my baby, everything that I had experienced was gone. It just turned into dust, and the wind blew it in different directions. Now I’m a happy mother. A Lucky Mom! Every day I thank God, doctor Valentyn Parashchuk and everyone who was with me through all that long way! Dear doctor Valentyn Parashchuk! I am very grateful to you for everything! Thank you for your careful and human attitude to me! For me, you are a very GIFTED DOCTOR. May God give you health and let all patients who come to you receive only a positive result! God bless you! And many thanks again! We are blowing many many kisses to you!
