This time with customer care manager Mirna Turcinovic
"ProCrea Swiss IVF Center is a perfect mixture of a private, family clinic and advanced technologies avilable to couples who need medical support to pregnancy planning."
1) What does your working day mean to you? Adventure, tension, joy or mission?
The role of our team (treatment coordinators) is to povide support to our patients in all phases of the treatment. It starts with first contact via e-mail or lasts until viable pregnancy is achieved. In our team we have only women who can relate to all female issues around infertility and provide help with not only treatment information but also empathy and understanding of what our patients are going through.
When we use the statement "I had a successful day", "I did well today", what can we imagine in that in your profession?
A good day for us means a day when we received many positive pregnancy tests. For us it is biggest reward knowing we were able to help our couples on their journey to desired baby. It gives us huge energy wave and confirmation that what we do is important becasue we are able to make a difference in this world and bring joy to someone´s life.
2) How would you characterize the field of reproductive medicine. Importance, benefits for society today and in the near future?
I believe that everyone, especially young women should be educated about their fertility. It is not a taboo topic, biology has its principles and many young women would benefit from understaning them. There is no reason to fear biologic clock or pressure to find a right partner at a certian time in life, there is vriety of options availble from diagnostics, fertility preservation, pregnancy planning etc.
Medicine and technology have made huge progress and today we are able to help almost everyone who wishes to have a child. There are different sets of methods avilable and by creating individual treatment plans, everyone can learn about their options.
As time when women become mothers has shifted from 20ies to 30ies and 40ies, many women and men will need help of reproductive medicine to achieve pregnancy. We should accept it as normal situation in 21st century and take the best from it. Everyone can manage their own fertility.
3) As an expert, what would you say to women who do not yet have a family and children?
There is never a perfect timing. Many couples postpone parenthood until all conditions are met. Today in time of COVID, we face how unpredictable life is. And more then ever we understand how important family is as a basic unit of our society. Young women should learn about their fertility and their options from young age and not to wait for last minute to contact reporoductive medicine specialists. The earlier we start evaluating fertility, more options we will have to preserve it and make plan for future pregnancy. We would advise all women to contact our Info Center and learn about their options.
4) Simply and concisely: what makes ProCrea different and unique?
ProCrea Swiss IVF Center is a perfect mixture of a private, family clinic and advanced technologies avilable to couples who need medical support to pregnancy planning. Many couples who come to us, complain that at the big centers they feel like a „number“ and that treatment is not indiviual enough. Our approach is opposite, we provide Individual plan for each patient and in a setting that is comfortable and does not scare the patient with its size. We support of Next Clinics (20 IVF clinics in our group) we are able to combine top knowledge and best practices from many European centers and deliver it locally in a private atmosphere.
