We thought it would be easy and we did not stress out at all. However, many months had gone by and nothing was happening. After six months, I started having somewhere deep inside me the belief that I would finally not get what I had been dreaming of, ever since I was a little girl, i.e. be a mum, so I visited my gynecologist. After several tests, my doctor informed me that I had no chance of conceiving without treatment. IVF was the only way ahead.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1484 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/fivi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/iStock-1158136520-min-1_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"642\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fivi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/iStock-1158136520-min-1_1.jpg 642w, https:\/\/fivi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/iStock-1158136520-min-1_1-300x187.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>I didn\u2019t give it a second thought.

An IVF failure.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2020, we decided to have another go and this is how we came from Germany to Greece and, more specifically, Thessaloniki. Our first visit to FIVI, the Unit of Medically Assisted Reproduction, was nothing like our previous experience of similar units in our home country. We were welcomed by smiling faces and the FIVI staff were there to explain to us what the process would be, down to the last detail.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1485 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/fivi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fivi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-21.jpg 640w, https:\/\/fivi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-21-300x188.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In February 2020 we had the embryo transfer.
