0:34 What a nice thing for tutorials! I also practised on such a thing when I was on my treatment in Biotexcom.
It helped me a lot! I was afraid to make injections before, but it helped me to understand that there is nothing bad there.

my little sister and i are IVF twins! what makes our age difference is that she was put in a "baby freezer" while on the petri dish, and waited about a year and a half before taking her out and putting her in my mom! In my group, there would've been 5 IVF twins, but only my sister and I made it!

I absolutely understand all the concerns. And I don't want to sound pessimistic, but ''biological clock ticking'' issue doesn't come out from my head..I was in the same boat. Together with my ex partner we ttc for 13 months without joy. When I asked him we'd better visit a fertility expert - He behaved very reluctant. Seems he didn't even want to hear a word about it, so we broke up soon. He left me then at 38, alone and childless. Time passed and I met my dh. He's been quite optimistic all way long. and when the following 15 months ttc didn't brought us results, he was the first to tell ''we need expert's help''. I cannot be thankful enough..One should also keep the doze of realism. Getting prego at 40 is not the same as at 20..We finally ended up with undergoing IVF abroad, BTC.

Thank you so much for what you do! I like it a lot!
But didn't you want to become kind of an auditor for IVF clinics?
What I mean is I'm on a program in Ukrainian's clinic Biotexcom and I would really like to know more about its kitchen.
I know it's far abroad, but I would definitely donate a lot of money to the channel which does stuff like this.
Think about it and thank you one more time!

Women with premature ovarian failure or menopause can have IVF treatment using donor eggs, which typically has high success rates.
