We've been together for several years and have wanted children for a long time. Unfortunately, after a few years trying the natural way, it just wasn't happening. In the Netherlands, after a while, we started to be bothered by the gynecologist's offhand attitude. We were a number! No more, no less! On top of that, quite inconsistent about what they would or wouldn't do based on their own values.
Anyway, the trust (which is so important) was gone! We looked at our options. First a second opinion in Germany. Then we got in touch with Human First. The hope and the feeling of lost trust came back quickly!
We decided to undergo IVF treatment in Turkey through Human First. The guidance from Human First was really excellent. The guidance and treatment on the ground in Istanbul was also incredibly good. A clinic that is every bit as good as European clinics. All the women on the team were understanding and showed empathy (which really matters) for the couple. That alone made up for so much! And finally, the treatment: our 1st treatment in Istanbul worked right away! If all goes well, we'll soon be mom and dad! Now for the essence of it: just like we once read this, you're reading it now too, probably with mixed feelings. On one hand the disappointments built up over a long period, on the other hand the lift you get from reading a positive story. Should we, shouldn't we? Turkey? The language? Hygiene? So many questions go through your head!
We just want to say one thing: just call or email Human First! Of course it's no guarantee of a baby, but it really does increase your chances enormously!
