Newlife IVF Greece

10 months on from the birth of our incredible daughter, I’m finally leaving a review! I’ve been far too busy getting to know my little wonder, and enjoying life as her mummy over the past year. But the time has come to finally make time to give the staff and clinic the recognition they deserve. Even now, I’m 3 versions into this review, and no words seem enough to express my appreciation and gratitude. I honestly don’t think there will ever be words for how thankful we are and how much their work means to us. For 3 years, we had ‘unexplained infertility’, despite the fact that 2 years prior we’d fallen pregnant with our first child straight away with zero struggles or complications. After many, many lifestyle changes to try and correct our fertility, we were still left unsuccessful with natural conception, so reached out to New Life after much research online and seeing many recommendations. We had the most incredible experience with the New Life team, from start to finish. From the initial consultation, all the way through to our second (and final) transfer, which became our little girl. The service felt like another level, certainly compared to our experiences at home in the UK. Nothing was too much trouble for Ariadni and the team, and she went to great lengths to answer all my questions and concerns (and I had MANY!) quickly and efficiently, always checking in, updating us, following up scans and plans. By the time we flew to Thessaloniki for our egg retrieval, I was excited to finally meet Ariadni and the team after talking so much, and was greeted with a warm hug. The team we’d been speaking to were even better in real life, so kind and caring, really putting me at ease. I never felt like just a number, I always felt like they genuinely cared about my cause and showered me with empathy and compassion. I knew I was in exactly the right place for the best chances. The clinic was great, I can’t fault that either! It was easy to find, very clean, and well set out. We got 6 suitable eggs (which I don’t think is bad for a 38 year old with only 1 ovary!). But this only resulted in 2 embryos, which made our chances very small. Our fresh transfer very sadly didn’t make it, but it all worked out exactly as it should’ve, as our little girl was our second (and final) embryo transfer, which was done as a frozen transfer a few months later. We were kept so well informed along the way, including updates of the embryo development each day, which was super exciting! Chrysa (our embryologist), Dr Anthi (our operation clinician) and Ariadni (our patient coordinator) were absolutely incredible. Their level of service was faultless. Professional, warm, knowledgeable, empathic and so friendly; the 3 of them honestly felt like sunshine! It was another level of service that I’ve never experienced anywhere else. I’m honestly forever grateful and filled with endless appreciation and awe for their skills to bring our precious, perfect daughter into the world. For my second transfer, I went to Thessaloniki on my own, and I think that was only possible as I felt so at ease and safe in the hands of the team. Thank you a million times over. You’ll always have a special place in my heart for what you’ve done for us.
