I have them to thank for my now 8.5-month-old twins

Egg Freezing

I interviewed nearly a dozen clinics across Europe, the Middle East, and the US and worked with five over a period of four years. Nadezhda was the only successful one. They were the only ones to get eggs out of me and the only ones to help me secure and sustain a pregnancy. They were the only ones who approached me as a person rather than a number and developed a truly bespoke evidence-based low hormone protocol for me. Iva was truly a partner for me throughout the process. Dr Stamenov was always honest and forthright. I have them to thank for my now 8.5-month-old twins.

IVF - In Vitro Fertilisation

I found out about Dr.Stamenov, Medspa and Clinica Nadezhda on a dark rainy day – it was the day when I found out that my 4th IVF attempt was yet another failure. I didn't feel the strength to go on, but yet wasn't entirely ready to give up, when I came across an article by one woman’s (Iva Stoykova) experience with IVF and her deep gratitude to Dr. Stamenov. Her words touched me and I decided to further research the doctor and his clinic. As it turned out, Dr. Stamenov was one of the leading experts in Bulgaria in his field and Clinica Nadezhda had great reviews. I contacted Iva the same day to get more details and my husband and me decided to tour the clinic and meet everybody before making a decision.We flew to Sofia to meet Dr. Stamenov who was very friendly and attentive and explained us at length our options. The clinic was very modern and the stuff welcoming. It was not a difficult decision to have another IVF try there. We didn't have luck on our first try, but on our second attempt with frozen embryos left from the previous try, I finally got my miracle! I'm 41 now and enjoying fully my 16th week of pregnancy. I can’t thank enough Dr. Stamenov and his team and for their expert help, support and fantastic attitude! Even if our attempt was unsuccessful, I would still recommend this clinic whole-heatedly to anybody in need for a superb service, professionalism and friendly attitude.Special thanks are due to the ladies from Medspa – Iva, Julia and Sisi – for providing on ongoing support, answering my questions at odd hours, clearing my doubts, cheering me up when I was down and, in general, offering a professional service with a unique personal touch. Thank you girls for being so amazing!

Fertility Specialist Consultation

After 3 years of various fertility treatments I got to know Nadezhda hospital in the summer of 2016. Friends of mine recommended it to me. I was pleasantly surprised be the fast responses (in comparison to other fertility clinics in Bulgaria), effective organisation and the competent consulting. Especially considering the fact that I live in Switzerland and I needed a reliable partner in order to plan my trips and procedures. Dr. Stamenov and his team did a great job during my treatment, they work very professionally but they also meet the patients with empathy. I got pregnant at the beginning of 2017 and am expecting my twins now …Thank you so much.

IVF - In Vitro Fertilisation

I wrote a review on 5 September 2017. This is an update. Baby Sonya was born on March 10, 2018, by C-section. So far everything is normal. Looking back, I believe the key steps to get here were: going to Nadezhda clinic, following Dr. Stamenov's advice regarding surgery prior to IVF, long protocol (risky but much better quality embryos), doing PGS, controlling blood thickness before and after the transfer, in my case it was Fraxiparin throughout the whole pregnancy (controlling blood with Fraxiparin helped deal with MTHFR condition), feedback from Iva regarding various issues during pregnancy, prenatal vitamins six month before and during pregnancy, controlling blood and urine weekly during the last trimester. Every step of the way was a headache, but it was well worth it. Thanks a lot! If everything goes well, I am coming for more next year. A very good doctor with very precise medical judgment-Update.

So good manner

IVF with Donor Eggs

Really glad to write in this page. I was personally suffering so much for not having babies. The worst things were the terrible answers from doctors only full of themselves, in Italy and abroad. "I can't help you" or "..no, you can't" ; or"what do you want? you're healthy, you have good physical tests, think to be satisfied of that and give up thinking of babies anymore, you can't!!" I was so desperate, but, like a look form the sky, a close friend of my husband, after some day said: "listen boys, someone talked me about Nadezhda Clinic in Sofia. Please, ask for an appointment with Dr Stamenov".Dr Stamenov recieved us, and with the best manners said: "kind lady, I don't thing you really have something wrong; I think you need the right therapy, but you'll have to be patient for lots of months. Obviously we can't have the absolute certainty but we'll do everything we can to help you". What sort of wonderful words....a young head physician doctor that with so good manner and with the best , ease clarity said so! I followed step by step his therapy. Lots of months? I saw Dr Stamenov for the first time last March....in July I was pregnant. Now I am at the end of the 4th month of pregnancy, we can't wait to go to Sofia to give the best wishes to Dr Stamenov and his staff.Dr Stamenov is a genius without any doubt, Dr Shevketova, the first assistant, is really nice an very good; Iva, the best support for foreign patients, always answering, day and night, always helping and supporting.I hope my message can reach every woman that, like me, suffered a lot for the worst ignorance in the world. Nadezhda Clinic can give you life again, trust it!

IVF - In Vitro Fertilisation

I am a single mother by choice. After a long journey of hospital searching,I chose Nadezhda. I flew to Sofia in March 2019, and now, I am a mother of a 3-month baby girl.I think I made the best decision ever to receive IVF treatment at Nadezhda.For those who are looking for the IVF information abroad, here are some of my experiences: 1) For foreigners like me, language barrier is one of the major concerns.Nadezhda's case coordinators would help us upon this aspect. My case coordinator, Ms. Iva Stoykova explained the process step by step in deails,which definitely calmed me down. When she cannot accompany me during some occasions, she would text me and tell me in advance what I should be prepared for and expect.Ms Iva is quick, responsive and helpful. She would answer all your questions related to treatment, and help you every step throughout the whole process.2) IVF might be a matured technique, however, since it is a life-change decision for us, we all have lots of worries. Nadezhda's doctors and nurses donot only have knowledge and techniques for the treatment, but also have been very supportive and positive. The whole treatment for me was efficient and warm. Especially, I have to say Dr Stamenov is a great doctor, he is so capable in his field, and he always makes me relaxed.Trust me,a good mood would help a lot during IVF treatment! I remembered that Dr Stamenov had to go for a business trip when I had my egg collection, so he asked another doctor take care of me. That was an anxious moment.3) Cost. Since not all countries allow IVF for single women. I have been comparing costs in several countries including the U.S., Australia, Nadezhda is highly cost-effective. Including the accommodation and air tickets, it is still worthy for me to fly to Sofia.In short, my experience in Nadezhda was simply amazing. I full-heartedly would recommend this clinic to everyone who is interested in the IVF treatment. Now,I still have embryos frozed at Nadezhda, and I am simply waiting for the right timing to fly back to Sofia in the near future.Dr Stamenov and his team are superb!

Thank you, JJ, for your nice words, happy motherhood. Hope to see you in the near future for a sibling for you daughter:) Iva

IVF with Donor Eggs

7 weeks pregnant with twins!!!!! this was our 1st DE IVF after years of unsuccessful OE IVF. With own egg ivf the process is long, exhausting and stressful. This was the complete opposite....Treatment was quick, efficient, with no messing about!!! Medications seemed minimal and no egg collection so my body was relaxed and rested before t/f. Stress free from start to finish :) The clinic is modern, clean, and feels very advanced. The girls from MEDSPA, especially Iva and vesala made our treatment stress free and easy!..... I only have praise for their whole setup.... Ivf is normally such a stressful time.... I can honestly say this whole experience has been enjoyable!!!.... And that's mainly down to these girls! .... And then to top it off we get home and a few days later get our positive pregnancy test!!! Just amazing :)

Fertility Specialist Consultation

After trying to get pregnant with my own eggs for 20 years with no luck, I discovered the unique opportunity to have both egg and sperm donation as a single mom. An option not available in my home country, Denmark.I now have two beautiful children with this method and never happier.I would certainly recommend this clinic to others. The staff is professional and delivers great communication in English via the contact person, Iva. She deserves a gold medal.I got pregnant in the first attempt and still had embryos in the freezer.

Thanks you, Grete. Warm and happy Christmas to your family:) Iva

IVF with Donor Eggs

We are delighted to be able to share our happy news that, thanks to Dr Stamenov and the Medspa team, I am eight weeks pregnant. I had my first scan a week ago and it's twins! This follows a decade of early miscarriages; a single, unsuccessful round of IVF on the NHS; and two private UK consultants, who were more motivated by following a standard procedure than really understanding us and the possible cause of my multiple miscarriages.The contrast with Medspa and Nadezhda Hospital couldn't be greater. In total, we made five trips to Sofia where Julia looked after us mostly, and occasionally Iva and Sisi. We really enjoyed Julia's company: she is feisty, very funny and rightly proud of her city. In between treatments she took us to see the sights and to sample some great restaurants; to visit Sofia's malls and top-up on culture at a classical concert. Each trip was something to look forward to and ran like clockwork.The same can be said of every procedure at the hospital, where we were very well looked after; and of every consultation with Dr Stamenov, who showed us such kindness, care and attention to detail. Although our antenatal service is being provided by the NHS in the UK, Iva is on hand to send out any medication I need, answer any questions I have, and update Dr Stamenov as my pregnancy develops.We have hope for the future and wish everyone on a similar journey the very best of luck. We cannot recommend Dr Stamenov and the Medspa team highly enough, and are planning to introduce them to the twins on our sixth trip next year.

Thank you, Sarah, for your nice words. It was a pleasure to help you and we're really glad the efforts gave fruit. Wish you an easy and healthy pregnancy, and we stay in touch, Iva
