“Now that the baby is finally resting, I am reflecting on what a miracle she is, and the incredible gratitude I have to finally have the opportunity to become a mother after all of these years. My husband and I chose to name our daughter “Grace”, as she is truly a blessing that would not have been possible without the…
Hi Ruth, I wanted to send you a heartfelt thank you for all of your help during my journey. Your patience and understanding to my million and one questions was so appreciated and helped me make some big decisions. I will forever be grateful that you came into my life and gave me the guidance I needed. I could have…
Being part of a family run business holds great responsibility, just as it does in the corporate world. I would like to think that we never become complacent about what we (particularly Ruth) does, so it is always nice to be reminded by the people that matter most that they rate our services as highly as they do. No company…
In 2007 myself and my husband started trying to conceive with no success. By July 2010 and two failed IVF cycles later we were told that our only options were egg donation or adoption, which was devastating news. After a long painful year and some very helpful counselling we came around to the idea of egg donation and began to…
We are just laid back in our hotel room looking at all the stuff my wife has bought shopping that I have to carry back with me because she can’t lift anything and as much of a pain in the arse as it’s going to be I think I’ll be able to live with it and wouldn’t have it any…
In March 2014 I got into an egg donation program with a clinic in Spain. I’m from Germany and here, unfortunately, ED is forbidden by law.

Where to even begin? When I explain to others that Brian and I went abroad from America to Greece to do IVF, their first question is “why?” My immediate response is because Ruth is phenomenal. There really is no other word to describe her and the process that we went through. A year ago we were just beginning IVF and…
I feel SO blessed to have my son. You know, I remember when my doctor first started talking about donor eggs. I was devastated. It felt as though someone told me I had cancer, or that I was going to have a leg amputated. I couldn’t imagine anything worse. However, being on the other side…. I can’t believe how much…
Let me start with the good news…it took us 5 years but we finally have a beautiful daughter named Gabriela. Our journey started in 2010 when my husband Michael and I decided it was time to start a family. After one year of trying without any success, we decided to visit a fertility clinic here in Montreal (Canada). We both…
In 2016 I had tried to conceive a sibling for my child for approximately 4 year and time was running out. We have had 3 miscarriages, unsuccessful own egg IVF cycles my age was rapidly progressing and the quality of my eggs declining. My husband was adamant, one more cycle and then we will need to give up, he wasn’t…
