IVF Testimonials
Please read the following stories of our IVF patients that wanted to share their struggles, offer hope and encouragement for the journey you are considering. Our patients are regular couples just like you and I but we have also had the privilege to help U.S. medical doctors, attorneys, business owners who just said NO MORE to high cost and limited medical service and YES to savings, great medical care and vacation. Here are their stories:
I had the best experience and the highest praise for Mag and Jeremy. My husband is an MD and I'm a PA so our medical standards are high. We were absolutely impressed with Mag, the quality of the clinic, the great staff, their success rates, and Dr. Mac who was nothing short of amazing. I received medical care that easily equaled if not exceeded our care in the states. One wonderful way their care fully surpassed our experience in the states was the amazing trip it included. We would walk down gorgeous cobblestone streets, go to the opera, eat in great cafes, look at each other and say, "Wow, this is SO much better than driving to Dr. D's office!!" It was honestly a beautiful vacation that happened to include about 3 hours of medical care (we did the donor cycle). I know being so relaxed and calm helped us get pregnant with twins on our first trip! Their success rate with donor eggs is phenomenal!
Mag is wonderful, she has a heart for each and every client. She became an instant friend. She is both amazingly kind and competent. Mag will guide you through the whole process and explain everything that is going on. She knows fertility medicine and protocols like the back of her hand. She gave me so much attention and support that I would have sworn that I was her only client, which was certainly not the case. If I called with a question or concern, she answered her phone immediately, no matter which country she was in, and was knowledgeable supportive. The only time that she couldn't directly answer (she was in the clinic with another client), she called back within the hour. That support and concern continues long after your cycle is completed, she still keeps in contact which I love. I initially started this process with another company/couple that had much more publicity, and had the completely opposite experience. I felt like I was just another pesky number in a over-publicized, understaffed, and overworked company. I am grateful that I found Mag and IVF Alternative instead.
It sounds crazy, but Greg and I agree that it wouldn't have been devastating if we failed our first trip, because we would get to go back and see everyone and everything again. Oh yeah, and shop more! When we had failed cycles in the states (we had many, many failures here) we felt like our money just went to waste. It just evaporated. Even if we didn't get pregnant on our first try in the Czech Republic, our money gave us a great vacation and memories. The Czech Republic is a very easy and beautiful country to travel in, the locals are friendly, a lot of people speak english, and the food is great. Mag will guide you through all the travel and even schedules massages!!
I would love to answer any questions you may have as I have had experience with both companies. I also have great photos of the clinic and the surrounding area. Again, we are both so very grateful to Mag for providing a such a great service. She has changed our lives for the better

Dear Prospective MyIvfAlternative customers:
My husband and I probably had the same thoughts you are thinking right now, after everything we have been through on this Fertility roller-coaster this all seems too good to be true. The couple of friends we mentioned our plans to asked, “How can you be sure it is what they say”. I said that some of it is blind faith. Faith in the references we checked, faith in the chat forum’s I found of others that have been, and faith that there are people out there that want to help us reach our goal in a more affordable manner.
I am writing this letter to let you know that it is not too good to be true. It is too good and it is all true! Mag, her husband, and our local hostess/coordinator Eva, were all fantastic, helpful and always took a caring approach. Everything the web page states is true, everything Mag tells you is true. My comfort with using MyIvfAlternative and Mag’s team intensified after receiving her contract and realizing that she has an LLC and a very good contract in place. In addition, her knowledge and the care she took too make us feel comfortable was amazing. There was no such thing as too many questions or a dumb question with her, she was there to help. She was there to help throughout everything, and even now that we are back home!
Then we arrived in Europe! We spent our first night in Vienna as it just worked out that way with airfare. Eva was scheduled to meet us at the Student Agency bus stop and she was there as promised and took great care of us from then on out. Brno is a great little town with good food, beer and wine. We took a trip to Prague and to Mag’s home town of Slavkov u Brno.
More importantly, the clinic and the Doctors and their staff are excellent. They speak English; however, Eva accompanied us to all appointments just to be sure. I felt very relaxed and comfortable. My husband and I did donor eggs due to my low ovarian reserve and poor quality, and a donor egg cycle is a bit more relaxing on the woman. However, the Doctors, their staff, and myivfalternative made us feel just as comfortable with the process as any of the Doctors we met with or discussed our condition with in the U.S. The clinic is different and the same as the ones in the U.S. They have the same waiting rooms, they have the procedure rooms, the embryologist’s have a room right off the transfer room, etc. If you have been through IVF in the U.S. you will recognize all the steps and the clinic.
We are home and currently 14 weeks pregnant with twins!! We are lucky, and very excited. We have lived the roller-coaster of infertility like you may have done yourself and we understand. Mag and her team, along with the Doctors and the clinic staff, will do their best to assist you in your goals. I am available to talk via email if you would like further information email me at dmclarsen@yahoo.com.
One thankful Illinois family,
Kurt and Darla
Dearest Mag,
I am writing to thank you for the beautiful floral arrangement presented to me by Eva for my birthday. I am so grateful and I was so happy. It could have not been at a better time, right before ET. I know that you received my other e-mail stating that everything went well. It is getting late so I will not be lengthy, but I want to say that I have been very pleased and in fact impressed with everything.
You are providing a great service to thousands of women that are challenged with infertility daily. You could not have wanted a better coordinator than Eva. I would not even want to walk in her shoes. She is gentle, efficient, compassionate, and most of all is she prompt. When Eva tells you, she is going to be at your residence at a certain time, she is out there even before the specified time. I caught onto that and started coming out even earlier (Smile). You are not even here watching over her, but she is certainly on her job and cares so much for people. You betta watch it because I might take her back with us on Saturday!
I got emotional today because honestly we live in America and think, "America the Beautiful" but I have not been treated with such respect and dignity as I have been treated here in Brno. Some office and hospital staff in the states are so unruly and impolite. Dr. Stepan is wonderful as well as the entire staff at Reprofit. One could not ask for more! Everyone is so nice and knowledgeable! It makes the transition a lot easier to bear. I feel so loved here. I mean it brings so much optimism when you leave the clinic.
I just want to say, "Thank You" from the bottom of my heart. On behalf of my husband and I, thank you for everything! I thank God for your experience because without it, we would not have found you, and because of your experience, you are able to minister to other women. I know that when you are ready to try again, you will have your babies! Your love, your testimony, your continued will to conceive, and an increased willingness to help others has been displayed and continues to be expressed and it is greatly appreciated.
We sometimes question why we have to go through certain things in our lifetime especially while trying to conceive, but this is not a trial, this is a triumph! There is so much more that I can say, but I don't have enough time in one day to express how sincerely grateful I am for everything. It was more than worth it!
With kindest regards,
S.R.
The IVF vacation was truly a wonderful experience and we highly recommend this option to other couples looking for an affordable option to help create their family. My husband and I decided to go the IVF donor route after a miscarriage, several failed IUI attempts and age concerns. Unfortunately, our insurance does not cover infertility treatments and that put the U.S.A. IVF donor option out of reach for us. During IVF research, my husband found the My IVF Alternative site and we are so happy we were able to take advantage of the services and complete the donor procedure in the Czech Republic.
Like many others, we had concerns about going through the internet to initiate the donor IVF cycle but those concerns were quickly eliminated after talking with Mag Cogbill. She is a warm, caring person who understands the challenges many couples face when attempting to get pregnant. She also knows the IVF process inside and out and was always available to answer any questions we had. Mag took the time to walk us through the entire IVF procedure, order medications for us as well as walk us step by step through the medication injection procedures. She also assisted us with our trip planning needs and constantly kept in contact with us when we were overseas to ensure the IVF procedure as well as the rest of our trip went smoothly. Mag also found an affordable, modern apartment for us to rent that was very close to the clinic. We preferred the space the apartment offered as well as the kitchen facilities. It was nice knowing we did not have to eat out for every meal and could easily make a cup of coffee in the morning.
The Czech clinic facilities and staff were superb! They thoroughly reviewed our medical information, the donor egg retrieval process, embryo transfer procedures and answered every question we had in a professional manner. My husband and I were thrilled to view the embryo transfer via ultrasound images and it was a truly magical experience to see two tiny lives being transferred to my uterus. Our pregnancy test is scheduled this week and we hope to update this note with positive news that we are pregnant!
Mag's assistant Eva is also excellent! She took us to and from the clinic for each appointment and gave us daily updates on the progress of our embryos. She also helped us with food shopping, restaurant recommendations, car rentals, site seeing adventures and any other questions we had. Eva was always available to answer provide assistance and we found her help to be invaluable.
The Czech Republic is a beautiful country and we suggest anyone traveling there rent a car to see as much of the country as possible. Brno has many historical sites to visit and the Czech countryside also offers many beautiful site-seeing options. We found Prague to be one of the most beautiful cities we have seen and it is worth the two and 1//2 hour car ride to visit. We took full advantage of the vacation aspect of this trip and this truly made the medical experiences and pregnancy results waiting time less stressful. After the IVF Vacation experience, I cannot understand why anyone would opt to pay $30,000 plus dollars for the U.S.A. IVF donor option when they will receive the same level of medical support in the Czech Republic plus have a wonderful vacation for less than half the cost of the U.S. IVF donor program!
We are grateful for your help and thank you for everything Mag!

My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for several years. We never knew that having a baby could be so problematic, or so difficult. We tried two IVF attempts, in the US, which was all that our insurance allows. Our first IVF attempt was negative, our second was positive, but resulted in a miscarriage. After the miscarriage I thought that our chances were done. We live in the US and could never afford to go through more rounds of IVF here, even though our doctors told us that we had a very good chance of success.
I felt that there had to be another way, and one afternoon surfing the internet I came across the Myivfalternative website. From that moment on I was in touch with Mag on a regular basis. Mag is an extremely caring person who has been through the trials of fertility treatment and understands the procedures and emotional roller coaster of it all. After my treatment was booked Mag was there for me answering a hundred questions, lending her support, and giving her advice. I can't tell you how nice it was to have her there, and she is still there for me now.
We went to the Czech Republic. We decided to use donor eggs, because of my age and several other problems that we have. Because we chose the donor egg program we were not required to be at the clinic every day, so we managed to do lots of sight seeing, in the Czech Republic and surrounding countries. It was a fantastic vacation, and by the time we got to have our treatment we were completely relaxed. Our coordinator in Brno (Eva) was also fantastic. She showed us around, booked massages and acupuncture appointments, whatever we needed, she was there. We stayed in an apartment close to the clinic which Mag organized, and it was a perfect little home for us while we were there. The doctors were very nice and extremely encouraging.
We arrived back in the US, and have found out that we are expecting!!! We are thrilled, and would thoroughly recommend this program to anyone who is considering it.

To whom it may concern, I would like to share my experience dealing with Magdalena Cogbill's services to facilitate IVF in the Czech Republic. My wife and I were trying to have a pregnancy for a few years without success and we were getting very desperate. We had spent a lot of time and money and were frustrated in the 'system' in the U.S. and were concerned about how much money was leaving our bank account without any results. We were feeling the pressure and were discouraged to see the high expenses of IVF in the U.S. particularly in light of the fact that IVF is not guaranteed on the first try.
When we discovered this service on the Internet, we were quickly encouraged by the prospects. The price was several times cheaper than what we were facing in the U.S. The first question that came to our minds was, "If it is that cheap, does the quality compare to what we would get inside the U.S.?"
Well, further research convinced us of the superior quality of the treatment available in the Czech Republic, and we committed to it with Magdalena and started the process.
My wife and I also had limited time in which to both get over to the Czech Republic to start the process. We had committed ourselves to this process, but of course were worried about all the variables. We quickly discovered that we had been lucky in our decision, that we were receiving the best facilitation from the service and from the hospital.
To make a long story short, after I had to leave to go back to work, my wife stayed to continue with the rest of the IVF. She produced only two eggs during the stimulation and we were resigned that it might not work on that attempt. Well, as it all happened, both eggs were healthy and both became embryos, and both were implanted.
Well, that was more than five months ago. My wife is pregnant. We are both so happy. She has twins and they are due next January.
Throughout the entire experience, we were treated by Magdalena as if we were family, and given service and support above and beyond our wildest expectations. It was a great experience!
We always thought we would have children someday. Several employers offered some benefits to assist us in having a child. We used some of these options but still no success. Finally when we were in our late thirties we decided to explore IVF. The cost of having this done in the U.S. was more than we could afford. However, we did have a specialist try two drug assisted artificial insemination attempts. These were unsuccessful. We took a break and decided that we would never have children on our own. Right after my wife turned fouty-one years old, we were searching the internet and found a clinic that would send sperm and supplies directly to our home for artificial insemination. Still not willing to give up, we gave this a try. On our very first attempt, my wife became pregnant. Just before my wife's fourty-second birthday, she delivered a beautiful baby girl that looks just like her mother. We were delighted with this success and thought that since we had such good luck, we would try this method again. Eleven unsuccessful attempts and three years later we could not repeat our success. We started looking for other options and found Mag's website. We contacted Mag on July 1, 2007 and in mid October 2007, my wife was in the Czech Republic having embryos implanted. On my wife's 46th birthday we got a positive reading using a home pregnancy test kit. We will be visiting our doctor soon to verify these test results. We want to thank Mag, Eva, Dr Marek and his staff for all their help in making our dream come true. We highly recommend that anyone considering IVF look into using MyIVFAlternative for help in having a child. Very happy Minnesota family!
Our overseas adventure was truly an "IVF holiday" because any apprehension we had was quickly removed. We stayed in Slavkov, a small town minutes away from Brno, and our accommodations were clean and modern. The bus system in the Czech Republic is superior, and you can easily travel many places on day trips. Since this was an opportunity of a lifetime for us and our 9-year-old daughter, we enjoyed taking the day trips to Prague and Vienna.
By the time we left, we felt like family. We were continually pampered with personalized service, and special touches, like the "his and hers" full-body massages, were a treat. We were always kept informed of our progress, and we felt genuinely cared for.
The clinic in Brno is world class, state of the art in every way, and the staff is exceptional. After unsuccessfully undergoing three stateside IVF cycles, there was no doubt the trip was well worth taking. The widescreen monitor in the insemination room is incredible. We were able to view the oocytes, witness the extraction of the ones we selected and, after implantation, a high-resolution ultrasound was immediately performed to confirm they were properly placed. As for success, the proof is in the making. Three weeks after return, our pregnancy is confirmed, and we're more positive than ever.
Our heartfelt thanks to our new "Czech family." From start to finish, anticipate the very best, because that's what you'll get. We become more positive each day that our dream is coming true. Expect success!
Sincerely,
A Growing Texas Family
My name is Deborah and I would like to share my story with you. I was a single woman that had been trying to have a baby for almost 4 years. I had been through surgeries and all kinds of testing and the doctors could not find anything wrong. They said I had what was called unexplained infertility. I had been doing IUI's with medications. I started out on clomid and then went onto follistim which was an injectable drug. My body was producing eggs but the procedure just was not working. My doctors here in the US stated they thought my best hope was to do IVF. I was quoted a price of almost $40,000. I checked with other places and the lowest price I could find was still about $25,000. Being a single woman I could not afford that and my insurance did not cover any cost for IVF. I knew I wanted a baby so I went to the internet and started looking. I came across several different websites and contacted them and the only one I felt comfortable with was Mag. I thank God everyday that I came across her website.
I am like most people that thought if something sounds too good to be true then most of the time it usually is. I continued to talk and email with Mag and she put my mind at ease so I decided to go for it. I decided that I wanted the best chance possible for me so I decided to use donor eggs. Mag was very helpful in working with me while I was here in the US and communicating everything with the doctors there in Czech. I had decided to do the procedure in May. Mag kept in contact with me every step of the way and even letting me know how my donor was doing. Once I decided to go through with us everything just felt different for me, I just had a feeling that this was meant to be and that this would work for me, so I was just excited about getting a European vacation out of it and getting pregnant at the same time. Once I got there and went to the clinic I was blown away. I could not believe how wonderful everyone was. Dr. Mac and Dr. Marek are the best. I received better one on one treatment from them than I had received from my doctors in the US. My donor produced 8 follices but only 7 survived and were fertilized. All 7 of the embryos were of great quality and made it. I decided to transfer 2 embryos because I wanted the best chance possible. I was so relaxed and excited and could not wait until my blood test. I was thrilled to also learn that the 5 embryos that were left all made it and I still have 5 left. I am happy to report that I am now expecting twins and could not be happier.

I had been on an IVF roller coaster for some time and I knew that I cared more about having a baby rather than trying to get pregnant. IVF world was consuming my life and going with DE option seemed like the next logical step. I had been trying cheaper options in the US, such as shared cycles at my old clinic in another city and an individual DE cycle in my city. Both of those options fell through. Either the donor choices were slim, or the waiting lists for the donors long. When the donor that I choose locally, bailed out on me, while I was taking medications, I was ready to travel to Czech Republic. After spending some time exchanging information with Mag, I started organizing the logistics of the trip. She eased the initial apprehension of not knowing what that clinic was all about. She was quick and informative with her replies, and the organizational part was soon to be over. Then it was just a wait for the cycle dates to arrive. I decided to use Mag's services to mainly support my contact with the clinic, as after having gone through some of the cycles, I realized how important the communication in the IVF world was. It was even more crucial in the DE cycles, and I learned it the hard way at my old clinic, where the DE coordinator was not helpful at all.
I chose Reprofit for their good stats, reputation, large donor pool available almost immediately and I didn't go wrong.
The clinic turned out to be very modern and well run. While in Brno, I was under her mom's wing, who treated me with great hospitality. We visited some local points of interest, traveled some more around the beautiful area of Moravia with her and her husband, which made the stay much more pleasant. You could almost forget of the purpose of your trip. I highly recommend looking into seeing many interesting sights in the vicinity of Brno. It's so rich in culture and history! Right now, I am cautiously optimistic, as we're waiting for the first ultrasound. It worked!!!
AS August '07
Hello everyone,
Hope my letter will reach all of you whose family plans have been put off indefinitely due to the high cost of IVF treatment or years' long waiting lists for egg donors (our case).
Life is too short to spend it waiting and wondering; avoid the mistake I've made, you cannot turn back the clock.
I am sure that since you've found this website and read more about the program all you could think was: Is this real? This sounds too good to be true! Well, my words exactly – 1 year ago!
My husband and I met later in our lives but it was worth the wait.
Ever since my twenties, I had all kinds of female issues, resulting in having my ovaries removed. I have also been on all kinds of medications to keep my thyroid under control. Although, it was hard for me to swallow, I had to accept the fact that I'll never have children so I gave in. But my husband changed everything; I wanted to experience parenthood with him so we started looking into the options of modern medicine. For obvious reasons, egg donation IVF was our only option.
Once I got the OK from my doctors, we started our research for fertility clinics abroad as the health system in England makes it almost impossible for us to undergo this treatment so we were looking into alternatives.
I have sent inquiries to a few clinics and agencies throughout Europe but there was one I was really interested in myivfalternative.com. Reading through their website I felt I was getting to know Mag. Sharing her personal stories and struggles with infertility I felt that she really cared. Sure enough, Mag was the first one to respond. She suggested to call me so that my husband and I could ask questions and understand the whole process better. We spent about 2 hours on the phone the very next day! Not only did we get all of our questions answered but Mag brought up some very good points that we haven't thought of. We were so excited and immediately started making our treatment plans. Well, Mag did most of it. We just filled out our medical forms and specified our preferences for a donor.
Mag got back with us in a couple of days with treatment dates, flight and accommodation recommendations, things to do while in Czech and an outline of our treatment. All we had left to do was to look forward to our vacation in Czech.
When that time came and we met Mag at the airport in Brno it was like meeting a long time friend!
Clinic itself was a very modern facility with the latest technology and we found all the doctors and the staff very nice, knowledgeable, professional and very supportive.
We received 6 eggs from our donor. We had 2 embryos transferred and 3 frozen (1 didn't make it).
With only 2 visits to the clinic we had plenty of time to indulge in massages, sightseeing, shopping, delicious food and some really good wine.
After a wonderful week spent in Brno, we are happy to announce that we are pregnant! We just saw the heartbeat of our baby for the first time and it was an amazing feeling.
Thanks to Mag and her dedication to help other "baby-challenged" couples, I was able to get pregnant without any worries and had a great, much needed, vacation with my husband.
Our thanks go to the wonderful lady who donated her eggs to us and the team of doctors and nurses that made it all happen. And thank you, Mag, for making our family dream come true!
Amanda and Tony, England
Dear Mag and Jeremy,
We just wanted to thank you for making our trip to Europe something to remember for the rest of or lives. Jake and I were very skeptical about believing that this could be for real. The thought of going to Europe and maybe having a baby all in one sounded too good to be true. Well, after e-mailing for several months, reality came through and we put our trust into you and it all worked out.
When Jake and got landed in Prague reality set in! We thought that the main goal of this trip was to make a baby, but our minds relaxed and we did not stress about it ever! We ended up having a wonderful trip and thought if a baby (or two) comes out of how much more blessed we would be. Jake and I never had a stressful day and it was relaxation and touring from day one to the end. Spa treatments for me and my husband for a quarter of the price in the U.S.- Mag knows all the "ins and outs" of the city! She seems to know where there is something for everybody!
Enough about the great trip, back to why we came-to have a baby. The first time we met the doctor, I loved him and so did my husband. He was so encouraging and had such a positive outlook. The clinic was lovely, clean, professional, and knowledgeable I would recommend the clinic and this program 100% and that is coming from a couple that is suspicious and weary of everybody!
Mag is a "one in a million." She is the most unselfish person I have ever met. If anybody was to go on this trip she will always put you first, make you feel special, and will have a life-long friend.
Our story is probably like so many others trying and just looking for a cheaper, but safe way to have a baby, well we found our answer! We are proud to say we are pregnant thanks to you and forever will be grateful!!!

Heaven only knows how in the middle of the night I happened upon the "myivfalternative.com" website. All I remember is that I must have read it about ten times before I fell asleep, certain that when I awoke the information I read would be only a dream. As I imagine most couples are when they come upon an affordable treatment for in vitro/donor possibility for pregnancy, we were initially skeptical: go where for treatment??? The Czech Republic???? Could they possibly have 21st century treatments so far away? But everything we read on the website seemed on the up-and-up, so my husband and I decided to take the next step: place a call to Magda and Jeremy.
From that moment on, there was no turning back. Magda convinced us with the first phone call that the clinic she had chosen to work with was every bit as sophisticated as any we would find in the U.S. or the world. Every contact we had with Magda only strengthened our decision to take the trip; she returned every call immediately and I can't remember a single time when she didn't have the answer to what we asked. Getting the medications required was no problem; and as soon as we picked a date a schedule arrived for us via fax.
Every step of the way, if there were any doubts or hesitation, Magda made sure we knew we could call her back as many times as we wanted to on that day or moving forward. Truly, by the time we stepped on the plane we had no doubts -- only normal butterflies any couple would have when they are embarking on such an important adventure.
The last time we had to think about ANYTHING having to do with the procedure was the moment we stepped on the plane to Prague. It was as if we were on a private tour.... but better, because we had three other couples undergoing IVF, and sharing the same experiences and nervousness. In a matter of a very few days we became friends -- and probably friends for life... it's as if any of the offspring born of the Czech experience shall be cousins!
The doctor at the clinic was great, and the procedures were done smoothly, efficiently and painlessly -- comfort provided whenever necessary, all questions answered without the slightest bit of impatience.
It may seem a long way to go for an IVF or donor procedure, but it will be worth it. Really. With luck you'll come home pregnant, with new friends, and nothing but admiration for Magda who continues to work so hard to do everything she can to make your experience a great one.

After a complete IVF cycle and 5 IUI's that failed, we really thought that we would never have children together. We were both physically and emotionally drained to try anymore fertility treatments. So for 7 months we didn't do any fertility treatments. But in the back of our minds, the desire to have a child was still there and it was a constant thought. We were tired of being told that our tests were negative. Who wants to be told no, repeatedly? One day I found myself on the internet looking for answers. I wanted to know what it was that we were doing wrong and couldn't get pregnant. I came across Mag's website. I thought for sure this was a scam. After all of the thousands of dollars that we had spent over 3 years, how could this be for real? I visited her website frequently. Finally after two months of research, I emailed Mag. To my surprise I received an email back from her. After a few correspondences back and forth, I immediately knew that this was not a scam and that she knew what it was like to experience infertility and she genuinely wanted to help others who were also fertility challenged. When we finally made the trip to the Czech Republic, we were so anxious, but excited. Mag coordinated all of our appointments with the Reprofit clinic. She was amazing. The doctors were professional and extremely knowledgeable. We felt at ease and knew that what we were doing was the right thing. It was hard to come back home after being in the Czech Republic for two weeks. We grew to love Mag. Even though we didn't get pregnant, we have three embryos that are frozen, just waiting for us to return and give it another try.

My Husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 5 yrs. now and no luck. So we went to a specialist, and they said there was a slight chance due to my age, and my egg count was low. My husband sperm count was very low as well. So he had surgery and that helped some, but my eggs were still low, so they said our best chances were to try the donor egg program. We thought long and hard, we tried on our own for another 6mos., and said we are getting old and we need to continue our family now. Next we saw a Fertility Specialist and they told us they had a waiting list for 6mos. that was not what we wanted to hear, so we waited and the fees were outrageous $18,500.00 too much for a 1 try thing, but we did it, it was close to home well 2 hrs.away , and we didn't know any better. Anyway it took and 3weeks later the Doctor wanted us to retest and they said the #''s are too low, I asked what that meant and I was told I wasn't pregnant. We didn't want to here that with all the money we had paid so... My sisters told me to go on line they have overseas programs a lot cheaper, but by this time we had lost our son (16yrs) in a drowning. I thought to loose 2 kids in less than 3 mos. was too much for me. I didn't want anymore I told my husband , but after a few months had passed. I still wanted another child so we went to a couple websites one being: www.myivfalternative.com and another one. the other one when I spoke to them I didn't feel the connection, but I felt the connection with Mag. I told her about my children I had lost, and she was very sympathetic. She e-mailed me asking me questions, keeping in touch with us, when we didn't even decide to go with her at that time A few weeks went by, I felt we knew each other all our lives, Mag walked me through every little and big problem I thought I had, and when we found out we could go overseas for little of nothing and sightsee, shop, travel to other places for almost nothing, and still make our appt. for our treatments that was great! We loved it (Czech) so much we are going back for a very long visit, and for maybe baby #2. Yes, our test was POSITIVE!!!! I took a cheat test 5 days before I was to see my Doctor, and it showed a very light positive I was too happy, but didn't say anything until the Doctor confirmed it. Now we are 13 weeks and going strong we heard our baby's heart beating for the very 1st time it was great!!!. Homer and I would like to thank you Mag and Dr. Mac at Reprofit from the bottom of our hearts for your time and personal attention you gave us while undergoing our treatment in Czech. If you ever get a chance to go, let Mag and the professional doctors take care of you. All you do is RELAX how good is that? Read the website talk to her you'll see what I'm talking about.. Enjoy your treatment and hope you too be as happy as Homer and I, take care and Good Luck!!!!!!

We could not have been more satisfied with our decision to go with myivfalternative.com. Mag and Jeremy were attentive to every one of our needs and made our vacation extremely relaxing and memorable. Sanatorium Helios is a very modern and experienced clinic. We have done IVF treatments here in the United States and were very pleased that Helios was using the most current practices. The clinic staff was professional and compassionate as they offered us the best quality treatment for a low cost. We did not want to spend $10,000 to $20,000 on one IVF cycle in the United States and risk a failed cycle in addition to the debt. Instead we got a great vacation where we were able to relax and enjoy our tour of the Czech Republic. Bottom line is that we saved money, had a vacation, and transferred two quality blastocyst. We would like to thank Mag and Jeremy for everything they have done for us. We have no regrets about our decision, we know you won't either!

My wife and I have been trying to start a family from the last 9 years. After several failed attempts with IVF in the USA, we came across the My IVF Alternative website. As we researched more, we found that this would be the perfect approach for us. Little did we know that this would be an experience of a lifetime. Mag and Jeremy were very friendly and supportive as they understood our situation. Upon our arrival to the Czech Republic, Mag and Jeremy greeted us with open arms and hearts. Through out our stay they made us feel like family while also attending to our situation in a professional manner. The clinic is very discrete with highly trained experts who answered all our questions and provided us with top quality care. We are grateful to Mag and Jeremy who have helped us start to make our dream come true. We would highly recommend My IVF Alternative to other couples who are looking for private yet extremely comfortable IVF procedure.
Thanks Mag and Jeremy!!!

Dear Mag and Jeremy,
We just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time on our trip to Czech to have our Ivf treatment done. Overall it was a great experience. The clinic and the doctor were both modern and professional. We would highly recommend My Ivf Alternative to any one who is seeking Ivf for less than what we would have paid at home. We also were treated with massages, facials and some other spa treatments that made our trip very relaxing. Jeremy and Mag took us everywhere we needed to go. They also coordinated our vacation activities. The trip to Vienna was great too, a lot of walking, but still a great time. Thank you again for a wonderful trip.
