We are overjoyed with every baby that is born. We are very happy when parents write to us after the birth or send us a photo of their little miracle. With their permission, we are always happy to share these photos and thank you notes on our social media. Take a look at some of the longer thank you notes we have received.

Looking back now, it all started with my first visit to the gynaecological outpatient clinic. After that check-up, and over the next couple of years, I had to undergo several gynecological surgeries, and with each one, the chances of getting pregnant naturally were basically impossible.

As the desire was stronger, my husband and I decided to visit the GYNCARE Assisted Reproduction Centre in Košice. We are extremely grateful to Mrs. doc. Toporcerova, who is a great professional with a human approach, and I could fully trust her from the first meeting. That trust is otherwise very important. She set the course of treatment for us and to my great surprise, after about half a year from the first visit to the centre, we were able to enjoy a positive test, from which we now have a 16-month-old beautiful healthy baby boy. And you know what else? 🙂 Thanks to the frozen embryo, we are now looking forward to having another baby, with whom I am currently in the 15th week of pregnancy 🙂 This time it looks like a girl. Keep your fingers crossed for us to make it to a successful end. Thank you.

It was only after a visit to the centre in Nitra that we realised we needed help. It was the first time. Visiting the centre and going the IVF route was the best decision. I wish all couples such a wonderful, fairytale ending.

My husband and I tried unsuccessfully to have a baby and only after a visit to the centre in Nitra did we realise that we needed help. We managed to do it right the first time. Huge thanks to the centre, from the beginning we felt comfortable there, we praise the excellent approach from both professional and human side. Visiting the centre and going down the IVF route was the best decision of our lives. Today our beautiful healthy twins Timothy and Tamarko are making us happy and we couldn't be happier. We will forever remain grateful to the Gyncar center. I wish all couples such a wonderful, fairytale ending.

We have been trying for a baby for 10 long years. If someone had told me before that I would succeed on the first try, I would have knocked on the door of GYNCARE long ago. Today we have a beautiful baby boy, Henry...

Ľubomíra's journey lasted 10 long years. At the end of it is a beautiful little boy Henrich.

We have been trying for a baby for 10 long years. The doctors kept telling us that we were both fine, that it just takes time. Slovak health care. But when one day I quit my job and suddenly it was time for myself, I asked my husband if we should try at least once at the Centre for Assisted Reproduction Gyncare in Košice. We had said before that we would not undergo artificial insemination because we didn't want to force it, it costs a lot of strength, patience and last but not least money. But I say to you people, don't put it off and deal with these problems as soon as possible. We have wasted a lot of time. And believe me, it's really worth the pleasure.

So my husband and I said that we would try at least one cycle of artificial insemination, so that we wouldn't blame ourselves later for not doing everything possible for our longed-for baby. And there are many options at Gyncare. So we started visiting Gyncare in Košice, specifically the excellent Dr. Herman. He has been working in this field for many years and is a top-notch professional. And, by the way, he has a very good sense of humor.

We went through the basic examinations, I had a minor surgery, underwent hormone treatment, and then artificial insemination. If someone had told me before that I would get it right on the first try, I would have been knocking on the Gyncare front desk a long time ago.

Today we have a beautiful 3-month-old boy Henrich at home, thanks to Dr. Herman and the whole team of the centre. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and wish that every single couple that visits you will have such a positive experience with your center as we did.

Regards to Henyko, Lubka and Daddy Henrich🥰👨‍👩‍👦

Never give up! That was my motto when I found out eight years ago that I had stage 3 endometriosis. I had no idea what I was facing... Extensive growths in the abdominal cavity, on the uterus, ovaries... and in addition fibroids on the uterus. I had two laparoscopic operations. Neither of which resulted in pregnancy. We tried naturally for almost 4 years. When it seemed that it really wasn't going to work naturally, we visited the GYNCARE Assisted Reproductive Center. There the diagnosis didn't sound so bad, we had our chances, we believed and didn't give up. We just had to arm ourselves with patience and a strong psyche. I underwent 3 intrauterine insemination (IUI) - not once did it work out... The disappointment my husband and I experienced during that period was unbelievable. I cry when I think about it. I didn't have the strength to go for IVF, but I finally made the decision and I never regret it. At our first IVF, the embryo transfer didn't work out. There was sadness, unhappiness, anger at myself, at everyone around me, at the whole world, the likes of which I can't even describe. Especially when everyone around you is having babies and you listen to nothing but "when are you going to have yours?". Women who know this, know the feeling... After a year since the failed embyotransfer, although I was very unhappy and didn't have the strength to continue, I decided to undergo a cryoembryo transfer (CET) - still as part of the first IVF. I gave it my all, my very self. I put on natural treatments and lots of vitamins. Support from my husband and praying to God every single night brought us a miracle named Mishko. Our precious son celebrated his first birthday two days ago and I can't even begin to describe the happiness I feel and experience every day. I wish so much for every woman.

I had a risky pregnancy due to fibroids, but I lasted until 38+0 weeks, when I gave birth by c-section. All the pain has passed and my husband and I are thinking we would like a sibling for our Misk.

Women, wives, partners... never give up! Never! Believe, go for your goal. Keep looking. Put yourself in the hands of the experts, as we did. Every night I give thanks for what I have. I'm not ashamed that I was on IVF and wouldn't wait that long again. The miracle of life is something amazing. Fingers crossed for all of you warriors!
