Children were never up for discussion for my husband and me because we knew for sure that we wanted them when the time was right. But then everything changed. After severe appendicitis and numerous surgeries, it turned out that I could never get pregnant naturally. However, my husband was immediately ready to take on the challenge with me. Without hesitation, he said, 'Then let's get started right away!'
‍
That's how our journey began, and hope was on our side from the start. We had to go through many setbacks, disappointments, and fears. Five ICSI attempts and eleven cryo treatments later, without me becoming pregnant even once, we finally found a specialist who had a solution. We not only followed his treatment advice but also changed clinics.

Our new doctor finally gave us back our confidence. And, in fact, on the first try, I received the redeeming phone call: 'You're pregnant!' Although this pregnancy ended in a miscarriage, hope remained alive in us because we knew now that it could work out. Our second attempt was successful, and this time it stuck. Hi, I'm Alina, the founder of the Hope app, a proud mother of two healthy boys, and a long-time fertility patient. So my story began completely differently than planned.

Our son was born, and our happiness knew no bounds. Shortly after his birth, we visited the clinic again to show our doctors what they had been fighting for. Their joy was moving. A year after we became parents for the first time, we wanted to challenge our luck again. And it worked this time too. At just one year and 11 months old, my little son became a big brother.

We endured a total of 9 ICSI treatments and 15 cryo treatments until we finally became a family of four. We did it. I'm often asked, 'How did you persevere?' My advice: 'Summon your inner strength, ignite a flame of hope within yourself, because as long as that fire burns, you can tread this path.' I want to accompany and support you on your journey. This app is my way of expressing gratitude that two small miracles now exist in our family.
