“My name is Chanel and I just had a phone consult with Dr Harry, he spent 20 minutes of his time and didn’t charge me a dollar being that I’m overseas. The sweetest doctor I’ve come across. So knowledgeable, and reassured me things will be okay. If things work out how they should, I will not hesitate to do IVF with Dr. Harry! He didn’t sugarcoat anything, told me flat out how everything would workout, and recommended the proper testing. Told me he will follow up with me & should I have any questions I can reach out to him. A straightforward doctor. An incredible doctor. Rare!!! Deserves 1,000 stars! GO see him!!!!”

“I started my fertility journey back in 2019 in the UK with three rounds of unsuccessful iui treatments. I was advised to look at maybe using an egg donor due to my age and this would increase my chances of success. Unfortunately, the prices in the UK were astronomical and this would’ve meant that for me it would not be possible. My first round of IVF in February 2020, I had the two embryos implanted, unfortunately this was unsuccessful. The great communication continued and we discussed what we could change to make the chances of success better this time. I felt included every step of the way, understanding every stage with ease, even through the hard times of a failed attempt , the start of a pandemic and the COVID-19 testing: we were able to get another egg donor that would hopefully be more compatible and harvest the eggs by April which was amazing.

Out of 10 eggs that were harvested, 7 reached the embryo stage. These were 5 day blastocysts. This was amazing after only getting two the first time round. With the lockdown starting at this time and travel being difficult from the UK they were frozen. As soon as we were able to downcycle myself and arrange travel together with accommodation we were able to go ahead again in August 2020. The week before I was due to travel everything went wrong, a scan appointment with the radiographer at Harry’s request revealed a large fibroid. The scan showed that this fibroid was on the outside of my uterus. The fibroid was large 12.5 cm x 13 cm. I immediately contacted Harry who said he wanted to look into things, but would get back to me immediately, a phone call a few hours later confirmed that it was fine to go ahead with the implantation. He felt the fibroid, would not affect the chances of pregnancy, he would prefer it removed but it was my choice. However, a successful pregnancy for me might prove painful and challenging. The choice at this point was whether to go ahead now or get the fibroid removed. With seven embryos I decided to go ahead and take the risk with the support of Harry. This wasn’t the end of my problems as at this point my mother who was due to travel with me had a fall and broke her wrist she was unable to accompany me but luckily my auntie stepped in and took her place. I had two of the seven embryos implanted made a point of resting for four days after implantation before travelling home. To my immense joy this was successful and I was able to see a positive result on a home pregnancy test within 10 days. I then had the pregnancy confirmed with two blood tests a couple of days apart. This confirmed I was indeed pregnant. I had an early scan at seven weeks to confirm everything was okay and whether there were one or two embryos.

Where am I at now? I’m 47 years old, and I am very pleased to let you know I have a beautiful healthy baby boy born 7lb 14oz in May 2021. With 5 embryos still frozen and further opportunities to increase my family available. This is all thanks to Dr. Harry Karpouzis and the Pelargos IVF team at the Institute of life facility, Iaso Hospital in Athens , Greece. They will always hold a special place in my heart, “thank you guys so much, I might even see you again”.
