We'd really like to share our experience too. After fighting for more than 3 years, we finally have positive news. We first did ICSI in the Netherlands, but unfortunately that wasn't successful. In my view, the Netherlands unfortunately doesn't really think along with the patient as a person, and they're simply way behind in terms of technique, which is a real shame. Luckily I came across Human First and then I thought: yes, this is what we're going to do!
I'm very happy with the guidance from the Netherlands. In the Netherlands I was in touch with Evren, who is very reachable and incredibly friendly. On top of that, I also chose to have a host guide me in Istanbul itself. I was guided by Hatice, and we clicked right away, and we still stay in touch sometimes! There's also room throughout the process to think along and make suggestions. The personal contact with the doctor, Dr. Cem, in the middle of the process was really pleasant too. We really felt seen as individuals, not just another client, and that's really wonderful! It's very clear that Dr. Cem has a lot of knowledge and experience. On top of that, I experienced a relaxed atmosphere during the process in Istanbul. I think it's the combination of being on a trip and the friendliness of everyone involved. I got pregnant after the 2nd transfer in Istanbul, and now I'm almost halfway through my pregnancy and things are going well for us.
We're enormously grateful to everyone who contributed to our wish for a child! And we'd recommend this path to anyone with the same wish.
Lots of love,
A happy mom-to-be!
