In The Power of True Stories, we talk openly about infertility, IVF, egg and sperm donation, and the emotional rollercoaster of becoming a parent. These are real stories told by real women — raw, honest, and full of hope. Our goal is to create awareness, share knowledge, and support each other along the way.
🤍 You’re Not Alone on This Journey. 🤍
All episodes come with English and Serbian subtitles.
In this episode, I talk to Milena Jovanović from Belgrade, a woman who worked as a flight attendant for many years in Serbia and in the United Arab Emirates, under strict BMI standards. Despite a normal eating habits and discipline, the weight increased, the cycle disappeared, and the doctors gave superficial diagnoses. This is a story about PCOS, insulin resistance, and the use of Ozempic as a key drug to achieve a healthy pregnancy.
In this episode, we talk about:
• Maja’s own IVF experience and what she learned as a young patient,
• The IVF system in Slovenia — what works, what needs change,
• Her medical research with 1000+ IVF couples: what patients really appreciate (and what they don’t),
• Emotional and practical guidance for couples starting IVF,
• Why some cycles fail, which tests truly matter, and how to stay hopeful,
• The power of community and support groups in infertility.
