Karen and John's experience
Hi Marcela & Craig, it's official, the blood test showed we are indeed pregnant. What an overwhelming feeling. We are so excited. I also sent Dr.
Anna an e-mail to let him know and to thank him.
We realize that we couldn't have done it without the expertise of Dr. Anna or our successful donor, however, the thankfulness we feel starts with the
two of you. Without your business, we wouldn't be pregnant today. We knew we couldn't get pregnant without a donor and doing it here in the U.S.
was out of the question. We are so very grateful to the two of you to be so compassionate about opening such a business and helping others.
God bless you.
We had a wonderful trip, I call it our adventure. All went smoothly and so easy. I know God sent us to you. I am happy that we got to meet you as I
know all of your clients do not get the opportunity. It really made our trip. Please tell Zuzka the good news too and thank her for being so nice.
She was always punctual and very friendly. Thank you again so very much and I will be in touch soon...........Karen & John

positive future.
October 2007 - Karen is expecting a baby girl.

| Kay's IVF trip |
My name is Kay, I am 40 yrs old and have been TTC for 3 yrs with and without a fertility specialists help. My diagnosis has been "unexplained
infertility" and "advanced maternal age" We were given the Donor Egg and IVF speeches. Once I was able to get over the shock, we began
to research Donor Egg IVF and the prices were shocking. My husband is in the U.S. Military, which means no fertility coverage, so everything
would be out of pocket. We were lucky enough to be sent to Belgium to live. I continued my research and found IVF Vacations. We decided
to schedule a donor egg cycle, but after the heartache we had already experienced, we decided to make this a true vacation, with the
medical procedures secondary.

| Debbi and John's testimonial |
Not in a million years did my husband and I ever think we would have the problems we have had with getting pregnant; we naively just took our
fertility for granted. In one short year, we learned that my husband suffered testicular damage from a hernia when he was a child, and even after
varicocele surgery, his sperm morphology was abnormal and his count remained low. Knowing ICSI was our only option, we underwent a cancelled
IVF cycle, and then a failed IVF cycle, with nothing covered by insurance. At our failed cycle meeting, the RE specialist informed us that not only
did we have male factor issues, but we were also facing female factors due to my diminished ovarian reserve. His recommendation was to use either
donor sperm or donor eggs, or preferably both. The RE then said he could put us on a 6-9 month unproven donor waitlist, if that was what we
chose.
A few days later, the msn.com article was published. Many friends and family members, knowing our journey with IVF, forwarded us the article.
However, by nature my husband and I were skeptical… ivfvacation.com seemed too good to be true. I started the arduous task of researching and
following up with prior clients. I read the ivfconnection.com thread from beginning to end. I researched the clinic. And then I spoke with Craig and
Marcela directly. And we were sold. We submitted our donor details on a Friday and were matched on all criteria by the following Monday. We
asked to go as soon as possible, and we had our trip booked for the following month.

| Summer vacation for Carly and Stan |
Having been married over 15 years and still no children, our hopes seemed to be dwindling. I had one
miscarriage
about 10 years ago. Since then-my husband and I had gone to an infertility Clinic in Canada...to no avail--
and many bottles of tears!
If one needs to have an egg donor there (in Canada)-one is not allowed by their law to pay the donor. Well,
that makes things really difficult! For "who" out of the blue is just going to donate to us out of the goodness
of their heart?
We had been praying for a child for a long time...A Christian friend of mine said she would pray that I could
soon have children, or adopt.
It was shortly after this that I providentially found the IVF Vacation website. I was thrilled. Being a medical
person, made things definitely easier on us-- and the whole process.
I started asking Marcela and Craig lots of questions by phone and by e-mail. My husband, being so "very
careful" about everything wanted to thoroughly check things out. We visited the Zlin Clinic's web site, saw
their list of Doctors and found out that one had the incredible honor of being one of the first doctors in the
world on an IVF team. All things seemed like a "go" and we prayfully proceeded forward. I was ecstatic.
Marcela and Craig went the extra mile to assure us and provide for us every needed information regarding
any concerns.
Both my husband and I had travelled to Europe before, so the thought of going to another country was not
intimidating-but intriguing. And to have a vacation at the same time and possibly get pregnant would just be
too wonderful for words!
Well, our journey was successful, and we Praise the Lord that I am pregnant now! I am quite a phenomena
at my drs. visits (due to my "older" age) and I am well taken care of by my doctor. One Nurse Practitioner
there assured me that I am healthier than 1/2 of her patients.
I thank the Lord for Marcela and Craig's dedication to helping couples be able to make their dreams come
true! We are so happy and await
the birth of our "miracle child" next year. I hope that you also, (reader of this web site) will also find an
incredible journey and dream coming true as you persue IVFvacation also!
October 2007 - Carly just wrote her amazing news, they are expecting baby boy, the expecting parents are
thrilled.
July 2008 - Andrew was born in March so he is 4 months and he is getting more and more beautiful.

| Jane and Jose's story |
We just got back from the Czech Republic two weeks ago. I was there for 23 days, and my husband joined me on day 14. I was using my own
eggs; hormone shots were required for the first 2 weeks of my stay and what an adventure that was. I would have never thought that I’d be willing
to stab myself in the stomach and legs in the hopes that it will get me pregnant.
Now, I don’t even remember how I found the website, but I know I researched IVF clinics all over the world, and this one was the only one that
convinced me.
