The oasis of IVF - just AMAZING

Truly AMAZING. I came to serum after having unsuccessful IVF attempts in the UK . The care I received from serum has been outstanding ,worlds apart from what I experienced in the UK . They do the more comprehensive testing which the uk clinics don’t do as a standard approach . This gives peace of mind that there isn’t anything wrong with you and if anything was picked up as an issue they have the access/facilities to get that resolved . The biggest difference I found and one which meant so much is the fundamental essence of serum which is the IVF is done with absolute care and love . The essence of love shines through and the creation of the child is done with clinical care expertise as well as real care and love. I never felt cared for in the uk or that there’s was any commitment / intent to help me reach my goal. I felt very much on a production line . It’s the opposite experience when dealing with serum . I knew when I met Penny and the clinical staff that I could finally let go and hand them my Batten. I was weary and losing hope . I knew that if I could have a baby these were the people to do it for me . There was real relief knowing I could relinquish control and responsibility and hand my quest over . For the first time in my IVF experience I was able to let go and have complete trust . I knew I could totally trust Penny with my donor selection . I felt safe for the first time too . Communication really helps ease any anxieties when going through IVF and I found the communication exceptional with serum . My only regret is I didn’t go to serum to try using my own eggs and wasted a lot of time in the uk. I think I was slightly daunted by managing scans in the uk and travel to Greece whilst managing work however once I actually committed to the travel (by committing to serum ) I found it easy . I found flights leaving pretty much daily from Budget airlines and got an air b and b near the clinic and walked there . There’s also plenty of places in the uk that can do scans and they email the results so you can send to Penny for analysis . I paid £130 a scan . Plus Athens is a great little city and we got used to the metro so would pop into central Athens for dinner etc . Serum is very special and I am delighted that I am now pregnant and a strong heartbeat seen . I think I am still in shock it’s worked and I can’t tell you what it was like that day I saw that second line pop up on the pregnancy test . Sometimes in life you meet special people and where your destined to be , Penny and her clinical team are truly special people . You know it when you meet them . They are truly gods helping hands . They are not just the mechanics of IVF , they have the integrity of love running throughout it all and that you can’t buy , it just exists there . I will always be eternally grateful, no words can truly describe how hard IVF can be and the grief you experience unless you’ve been through it , but to go through hell and keep walking , to then find a place like serum where you just know you will get the help you need , the oasis of ivf , to then be successful , it’s beyond words . ….so much love to Penny and the team and the amazingly kind lady who donated and heal my broken heart .

We have Serum to thank for our beautiful twin boys and I would recommend them to anyone considering taking an IVF journey. The entire team are so kind and thoughtful, Penny is incredibly talented - detailed and methodical but also human and empathetic. We received the best medical and emotional support at Serum, they’re the best in the business.

So grateful

“SerumIVF have made our dreams come true after many failed attempts in the UK, we simply cannot recommend them highly enough! They were innovative and determined, always available to talk to (late one evening I even recall!) it was easy to place our trust in them as we felt taken care of every step of the way. We could not be more grateful”

The greatest gift

Serum gave us our beautiful baby boy, after being able to achieve what clinics in the UK had failed to do. Every time you walk into the clinic it’s like walking into a room full of family. We used Serums donors and our Son is incredibly matched to us. That people are in disbelief that he was conceived via donors. We will be forever grateful for Serum for our most precious gift. We can’t wait to make him a big brother one day!.

Best clinic to make your dream come true

Absolutely the best clinic out there. Penny made me feel welcome and that I mattered and not just a number. I was given a lot of moral support as I struggled on this journey and finally I am a mum thanks to Serum. My life has been changed for the better thanks to the work of Penny and what she and her husband started many years ago. Serum isn’t just another fertility clinic. It is the dream and work of two people, Penny and her husband, who have helped many desperate cases along the way. I feel very lucky to have found this clinic at my second attempt, this clinic is where people with multiple failures end up ro try again and have success. I saved myself a lot of heartache, money and invasive treatment by going to Serum. I am forever grateful to them and all the staff at Serum

Serum made my dream of becoming a mother a reality. I had talked for years about doing IVF as a single mother and from the moment I first spoke with Sofia I knew i was in good hands everyone at the clinic made me feel so calm and welcome and made my journey as stress free as possible. I am now on my first pregnancy journey and there really are no words to say how grateful I am to everyone at the clinic for helping me on my journey especially Sofia, from completing the paperwork to my medication to travel and accommodation they were all amazing. I would highly recommend Serum IVF to anyone who is struggling to get pregnant.

IVF Serum were really knowledgeable

IVF Serum were really knowledgeable and diagnosed an underlying condition that caused my fertility. I spent years trying to get pregnant but only after getting treatment from Serum was I able to achieve my dream of being a mother.

This clinic gave us a beautiful boy…

Everyone at serum was so helpful and kind. There was no barrier of the white coat. They was empathy and warmth. A very different experience from the uk clinic we tried. We first met with Penny in June via FaceTime and then we were pregnant in Oct and now have our wonderful baby boy. The clinic staff were great throughout with help with travel and also with all the paperwork needed. Every doctor and nurse we met really engaged with us and really had hope for us and tried their best to take the stress away from us. We felt very safe in their hands. I highly recommend contacting Serum as it’s such a unique clinic.
