Carrie and Justin took part in the Fertility Journey<\/em> campaign<\/a>, which aimed to offer a free procedure to a couple in need of donor eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carrie and Justin, who live in the UK, first visited the Next Fertility Nordic clinic in August 2024 to meet the clinic staff and continue their fertility journey.<\/p>\n\n\n

Prior to their visit, they had a video call with our donor coordinator Inna to select a suitable donor. Unlike Carrie\u2019s previous experiences at UK clinics where women often have to wait weeks or even months for a matching egg donor but our clinic was able to find a suitable match very quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carrie was hoping to find a donor with fair skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes, someone who looked like her sister and resembled herself. In close collaboration with our donor coordinator, we were able to offer Carrie a donor who matched her wishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Carrie and Justin live in the UK, they were able to follow the development of their embryos through our AI-powered system CHLOE\u2122 (Cultivating Human Life Through Optimal Embryos<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThanks to the CHLOE program, I could log in at any time and watch the development of our embryos in real time. It helped eliminate my anxiety, and I no longer had to nervously wait for a call from the embryologist. Even though the embryos came from donor eggs, I felt a stronger emotional connection to them. These were my<\/em> embryos, and I felt a deep maternal instinct to protect them.\u201d \u2013 Carrie<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carrie and Justin traveled from the UK to Estonia<\/a> for a second time on October 17 for the embryo transfer. According to Carrie, the experience was unlike anything she had previously encountered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe embryo transfer itself was extremely comfortable\u2014nothing like what I had experienced before, not even in the UK where I had undergone multiple transfers. At previous clinics, the procedure was always performed under general anesthesia. Since I have a tilted cervix, which makes even a routine PAP test uncomfortable, the assumption seemed to be that anesthesia was the easiest way to manage the discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But at Next Fertility Nordic, that wasn\u2019t necessary. I was able to be fully awake for the entire procedure, which made the experience incredibly special. The team played calming music, Justin was by my side, and only Dr. Helen, a nurse, and the embryologists were present. They showed me everything on the screen. It was such a heartfelt moment, a beautiful and personal experience I will never forget.\u201d \u2013 Carrie<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On November 26, 2024, Carrie shared her early Christmas gift\u2014two pink lines on a pregnancy test.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pregnancy <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the early months of pregnancy, Carrie experienced significant nausea and moments of anxiety. But a 7-week ultrasound reassured the couple that everything was progressing well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEstonians are very calm and warm people. The clinic staff hugged us, and I truly felt that they genuinely wanted everything to succeed. Our experience in Estonia was completely different from anything we had gone through before.\u201d \u2013 Carrie<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Carrie, Tallinn feels like a hidden gem, where IVF prices are very reasonable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
