Many are afraid to talk about IVF, but not the father of little Timothy! We discuss what the family is faced with when it is not possible to get a child

On October 15, our former colleague Shurik Gorbachev and his wife was born a son Timothy. Pregnancy lasted the standard nine months, but this couple took the path to parenthood much more - four years.

During this time, Shurik and his wife went through unsuccessful attempts to get pregnant with the so -called natural way, tests and research to search for the cause, the decision to make eco (extorporepical fertilization is one of the auxiliary reproductive technologies, which is recommended for infertility), preparation for IVF, the first unsuccessful attempt, waiting for the state quota and, finally, the second attempt. Everything worked out - today the little Timothy turned seven weeks. With what we congratulate him!

Alexander Borzenko, Yuri Saprykin - the youngest and Vladimir Tsybulsky called Shurik to the studio to talk about two things. Firstly, of course, about the first weeks of life with the baby and how the child changes everything at all. And secondly, about the experience of IVF, which cannot be called simple.

And Shurik said:

🤯 Почему день сдачи спермы может стать одним из худших в жизни

👻 What is a "ghost" in a pregnancy test

💵 Is it true that IVF can be done for free - or everything is not so simple
