I am stuck to read this. It is really very shocking. How one human can despoil another one. It is the worst brutality. It may become the reason for the death of a person. Sorry to say but they only the money-making machines. The government should pay some attention to them. You have to find another clinic, my dear. Some good clinics also exist.

Hi everyone. I had three miscarriages. I never lose hope. I get my IVF treatment from a clinic in Europe. They were best in dealing with it. At the first attempt, it was not successful. On the second attempt, I was able to conceive. I am 4 weeks pregnant. I am very happy. I recommend if anyone suffering like me they must go there. Best of luck everyone

Hello everyone, there was a time when I was so worried and near to death. I had lost my unborn child in a severe road accident. Life was so colorless. Everything was just so meaningless for me. But then my husband took me to a clinic in Europe. They told me about surrogacy and then we went for it. And today I am a mother of a boy.
