Why Hannah Chose Turkey for IVF
My name is Hannah, and for the past four years, my husband, Mark, and I have been on a heart-wrenching journey to start a family. We had always dreamed of having children, but after years of trying, we were told we'd need help. The diagnosis of infertility hit us hard, and the emotional toll was immense.
We went through three grueling rounds of IVF in the UK. Each failed attempt was a blow to our spirits and our finances. We spent thousands of pounds with no success, and the emotional exhaustion was almost too much to bear. Our hope was fading, and we felt completely defeated. The thought of starting another expensive, time-consuming cycle at home, with no guarantee of a different outcome, was unbearable.
We knew we had to try something different. We had heard about fertility treatment abroad but never considered it seriously until our last failed cycle. I started researching IVF in Turkey and found PlacidWay. What drew me in was the transparency and the deeply personal patient stories. They didn't feel like a hard sell; they felt like a lifeline. I decided to fill out their inquiry form, holding my breath and hoping for a sign.
Within a day, a patient care manager named Elif contacted me. She was incredibly kind and empathetic. She listened to our entire story, the years of pain and disappointment, with such genuine understanding. She explained how PlacidWay could connect us with world-class clinics with high success rates at a much more affordable price.
She introduced us to the Medicana International IVF Center in Istanbul. We looked at their website, and the credentials of their doctors were outstanding. The cost for a single cycle was around £4,500, a fraction of what we had paid for a single round at home. The prospect of an affordable IVF treatment, combined with the clinic's stellar reputation, gave us a renewed sense of hope.
PlacidWay took care of all the logistics. They coordinated our appointments, arranged airport transfers, and even helped us book a comfortable hotel near the clinic. The journey to Istanbul felt like a leap of faith, but it was surprisingly easy. The moment we walked into Medicana International IVF Center, we knew we had made the right choice. The clinic was a state-of-the-art facility, and the staff were warm, professional, and spoke perfect English. Our doctor reviewed our medical history in detail and explained the plan for our next IVF cycle. We felt so cared for, and for the first time in a long time, we felt like we were in the hands of experts who truly believed in our dream.
The treatment process went smoothly. I felt very supported by the nurses and the doctors. We balanced our clinic visits with exploring the beautiful city of Istanbul. We visited the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia and walked through the Grand Bazaar. It was a perfect blend of a medical journey and a much-needed emotional getaway.
A few weeks after we returned to London, we got the call. We were pregnant. The moment we heard those words, we both broke down in tears. It felt like a miracle. After all the pain, all the disappointment, our dream was finally coming true.
Nine months later, our beautiful daughter, Lily, was born. She is our little miracle, and she is the light of our lives. We are so incredibly grateful to PlacidWay for making it all possible. They gave us hope when we had none and connected us to the perfect clinic that helped us bring our baby girl home.
