At 38, after three exhausting years of failed attempts back home, I finally became a mom through IVF in Georgia. My baby is now 6 months old, weighing 7.2 kg, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Here’s how it happened.
Why I Chose Georgia for IVF
After three years of trying domestically with no success, my doctors told me my ovarian reserve wasn’t great. I was losing hope until a friend mentioned Georgia. She said the clinics there had solid technology and the costs were reasonable compared to other countries. We did our research, read success stories, and decided to give it a shot. It felt like our last real chance.
The Treatment Process and Timeline
We flew to Georgia last October. The whole process was surprisingly smooth. During stimulation, they retrieved 8 eggs, which resulted in 5 blastocysts. The embryologist said the quality was good, which gave me hope. We did a fresh transfer, and it implanted on the first try—I still can’t believe it. The entire stay was about 28 days, including pre-treatment checks, stimulation, retrieval, and transfer. The clinic staff spoke English well and made us feel comfortable throughout.
Life Now: 6 Months with My Baby
Today, my baby is 6 months old and weighs 7.2 kg. Every checkup shows perfect health. Looking back, those three years of frustration feel like a distant memory. Georgia gave us what we couldn’t achieve at home. The decision to go abroad was scary at first, but it was absolutely worth it. If you’re struggling like I was, don’t give up—sometimes you just need to explore other options.
I’m beyond grateful to finally be a mother. This journey taught me that persistence matters, and sometimes the answer is in a place you never expected.
