Breaking the Silence: Afroditi's IVF Experience

Описание: On The Mind Talk podcast, Afroditi, a Greek former corporate banking manager living in Hong Kong, shares her IVF journey that led to the birth of her nearly seven-month-old daughter. After moving to Hong Kong and trying to conceive for six months, she and her husband learned IVF was their only option. Afroditi describes feelings of inferiority, the physical and emotional demands of IVF, and the shock of learning it often takes multiple attempts. She recounts a biochemical pregnancy in her first cycle, a failed second cycle that left her at rock bottom, and how support from her husband and the Women of Hong Kong community helped her continue. She details the IVF process, why she chose treatment in Greece for cost and language, how she found a trusted doctor, and her advice on seeking early help, researching clinics, building support, and sharing stories.
