Our adventure began 10 years ago. Like many couples, we thought that pregnancy would occur quite quickly after stopping contraception. But that was not the case. There were examinations, and then the diagnosis of endometriosis.
We then engaged in a long process of assisted reproductive techniques, starting with inseminations, then IVF, and finally IVF with egg donation. We only ever experienced failure, accompanied by physical and psychological suffering, but we always maintained the morale to continue moving forward and stay united.
After the disease had advanced significantly during this time, we gave up on self-transfers and moved towards surrogacy. The choice of Ukraine was quickly made, and the contact with Hélène was decisive. You have to trust yourself to continue with a life project several thousand kilometers away, and Hélène was able to reassure us and guide us in every step of the process.
We were fortunate that a pregnancy occurred from the first embryo transfer. We had the chance to meet a surrogate who was wonderful in every way. It’s not easy for her either to entrust 9 months of her life to a couple of strangers. But we got to know each other and formed strong bonds. The stay in Kyiv was a great moment of emotion, with the meeting of our surrogate, and the birth of our little girl a magical moment of sharing.
We were very well received and supported on-site thanks to Anna and Alena, always smiling, available, and professional. Real gems!
We are truly delighted to have chosen Nest and Co. Mutual trust, Hélène always attentive and available, and an impeccable team on-site in Kyiv. Thank you to them for helping these couples become a family.
