EMBIO wasn’t the first IVF clinic we looked at

Treatment: In-vitro fertilisation (IVF)
Provider: emBIO Medical Centre
Date: Mar 2015

42-year-old Canadian Poli – third time lucky with Embio

This is my third IVF, and the first time at Embio Medical Centre. The previous ones were in Toronto.

I was always told it was the egg quality due to the age factor. I am 42 now.

Being a nephrologist, this is not my area of expertise, but as a physician I was better able to appreciate some things. EMBIO was not the first IVF clinic we looked at. The analysis of data that I already had was the most accurate and realistic.

The response was immediate. Communications with the IVF coordinator were excellent given the time difference, and, in any case, within 24 hours.

One of the reasons we came to EMBIO, Athens was tandem IVF. It is the first time we are doing donor in addition to our own egg.

It was not difficult to decide. When you have two very good cycles in terms of embryos and genetic testing to support that there is something wrong, it becomes a question of whether you want to become a parent or not. Genetic analysis was not in our favour in the previous two cycles.

We chose to be at the clinic from day 1, there was an option to start things from home and come later, but we chose to be in Athens 14 days in all.
