Today Karolinka is a few months old. She is a beautiful, healthy little girl who often smiles at her parents. And they smile at her. That smile doesn't disappear from their faces when they tell them how happy she is for them. The smile does not disappear, but it dims for a moment when they talk about their road to this happiness, which has not been easy.

What did the road look like?

Magda tells the story of how they started trying for a baby. At first without any support. After a year of natural efforts, they started asking themselves - "why?" They visited several specialists and did all the tests ordered by the doctors. Both Adam's semen test and Magda's test results did not indicate that they could have any medical obstacles to getting pregnant, and yet... "It was actually not clear why this was happening. I had undergone a laparoscopy procedure and it turned out that I had a little endometriosis, but that still shouldn't be an obstacle. In my husband's case it turned out that the semen was very fine. We underwent three insemination procedures, but unfortunately they were not successful."- says Magda.

Adam stresses that it is important to have an approach from both partners right from the start. "...Often men are afraid to get their semen tested, 'because I'm sure I'm healthy' etc. In the situation we were in, we had both of us tested. And the wife and I."

According to estimates, between 50 and as many as 80% of all couples trying to have a baby are struggling with so-called idiopathic infertility. What does this mean? No less than that, couples are experiencing difficulties conceiving, despite the fact that routine fertility tests have not revealed any significant abnormalities in them.

Here, the timing of the decision to obtain medical help for infertility treatment is important. This is because it is important to remember that the longer they fail to obtain a pregnancy without medical support, the lower their chances of parenthood. Magda and Adam made the decision to gain professional support after a year of trying.

"The decision to have IVF was a difficult one, but it kind of felt like it was the natural way to go after what we had been through before. It's such a culmination of all this treatment we've had. And the very doctor who treated us and performed the procedures insemination He knew Dr Rogoza and warmly recommended him to us. We came for the first visit to the Invimed clinic, started to do all the tests and qualified for IVF," says Magda. - Magda says.

Adam was very positive from the start, both about the infertility treatment process and the procedure itself. "This decision was an afterthought. I was convinced that we would succeed. Right from the start, even though I know there is 43% probability, I knew we would succeed. And we succeeded simply. The first time!"

If it hadn't worked the first time, they both agree that they would have kept trying.

"We would try a second time and a third time. I know not everyone succeeds like we did the first time, but I would suggest couples be consistent. Because it's worth it. With this probability and with such professional care here at the clinic, they will definitely succeed. I am convinced of that." - Adam says.

The power of the mind

Magda knows how important it is to have a positive attitude, although she herself has had more difficult moments in this fight, but she believes that "...you have to fight until the end. You don't give up. Because there were also moments when I was crying. We didn't know what was going on, why it wasn't working out for us, but in the end it did. You have to have that hope and believe that it will work out."

"We realise that it is worse when a couple approaches IVF, fails once, twice, three times... We can only guess at the worry, the hassle, the mental burden, perhaps even depression... In our case, fortunately, there was none of that. We travelled dozens of kilometres from home to the clinic with a smile and a very positive attitude, only to be joined by our happiness. We mentioned the other day that we had done a few thousand of these kilometres. Today we came here with such fondness and even nostalgia. The three of us." - Adam adds.

How do they feel today?

"We are certainly very happy. I think that's even too small a word to describe how lucky we are. Our little girl is such a great miracle of ours. Nothing more can be added here." - Magda says.

Adam adds: 'We have reached full happiness. If it wasn't for Caroline, we'd probably be happy for two, but I think we'd still miss having a child. The child we dreamed of, planned for and aspired to have. Because, I must add, IVF was just the tip of the iceberg. We started our efforts to have a baby here, with you, a year before IVF. And fortunately, everything turned out so beautifully. And now we are happier every day to watch her grow beautifully and be a healthy little girl. She's beautiful and I'm sure she's going to be healthy and smart, which we both really want."

We also wish them this from the bottom of our hearts, that Caroline develops and grows up healthy and beautiful for her parents, who, when you look at them, you immediately get a boost of new energy to work for other couples so that they can be just as happy.
