Today's blog will probably be short and sweet. I am starting to feel better as I share my story and get it all out. I have been holding all this stress in for years and writing about my experiences is helping me heal.
When I was working at the biotech company, we made the decision to go to the Czech Republic for the embryo transfer with egg donor. It was an organized program. A Czech woman from Atlanta had designed a program that enabled couples to get IVF treatments relatively cheap while on vacation in Brno, Czech Republic. There was coordination with the doctors long distance. They supplied you with medication to take and prepare for the cycle. They put you on a calendar and when the time came they had a donor ready for extraction. It sounded great! The first time we went was in May of 2008. It was a wonderful experience. We flew into Vienna, Austria. We walked the city of Vienna our first day there. It was so beautiful. The architecture was so detailed. There were grandiose palaces all over the city. The streudel was delicious. I even bought a pair of European shoes to wear to the office.
We took the train in to Brno (the city where the doctor was located). The Czech Republic was a much poorer country than Austria. The people there were simple and honest. They had a nice apartment for us with every comfort. We had a nice bed and a sofa and a kitchen to cook in. The neighborhood we stayed in was quite safe. It was not too far from the doctors office. There was a huge convention center across the street and some hotels in the neighborhood. What was interesting was that there was a red light at the corner (but we will not go into that right now). There was a really great Indian restaurant in the first floor of the next door building and we had at least two of our dinners there.
It has been a long day for me today and I need a little rest. I will pick up this story tomorrow. Sweet dreams.
