Becoming parents together

Unintentionally childless – the path to having a baby is sometimes harder than expected.

Have you been trying to get pregnant for a long time, but the test you’ve been longing for remains negative? You may be asking yourself, “Why is this happening to us?” Many couples ask themselves these questions, and you are not alone. Nowadays, around one in seven couples need support on their journey to having a child. This shows that it is quite normal for more time than expected to pass between the desire to have a child and the actual pregnancy.

But how long should you actually try before seeking help? If you have been actively trying to get pregnant for at least a year – or after six months if you are over 35 – we recommend that you take the next step and come and see us.

What are the first steps?

The first step on the way to having your dream child is our initial consultation

The medical history form allows the doctor to prepare optimally for your individual situation in advance. If you have any previous findings, these often help to identify initial treatment approaches

It is best if you both come to the initial consultation so that we can clarify all questions together and find the best path for you. It is very important to us that you feel comfortable and well cared for. That is why we carry out all examinations and treatments directly in our practice, so you can remain in a familiar environment where you can feel safe and well looked after.

I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your dedication and professionalism. After such a long wait, I can finally hold my baby in my arms thanks to you. She is now 3 months old. You are the best. Success on the first try. Highly recommended. Very good and dedicated doctors. Thank you, see you soon.

We can recommend the clinic 100% and say, get help promptly and don't wait. We had years of trying unsuccessfully to have children. Then we went to the clinic. It was a real relief. Our starting position was as bad as it could be. And yet it worked on the second attempt. Without the Bodensee Fertility Clinic, we would never have become parents to a wonderful boy. We found the support and care provided by the entire team to be very warm and empathetic. We also found the balance between justified hope and realistic medical assessment to be very good. Costs were communicated transparently and not artificially inflated. We always had a choice. A top clinic!

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you today! Thanks to your support and the empathetic treatment provided by Dr. Simon and Dr. Heine, I am now delighted to report that I am 19 weeks pregnant. We are overjoyed and sometimes still cannot believe our luck. After all the hopes, doubts, and the long journey, this dream has finally come true—and that would not have been possible without your competent, loving, and patient care. I would especially like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Simon. Your empathetic manner, patience, and commitment have given us courage time and again. I always felt that I was in good hands and understood. I would very much like to come by in person to thank you all once again. Please let me know if that would be possible. Thank you so much for walking this path with us and accompanying us so wonderfully. You give hope to so many couples — and now you have given us a little miracle. Warmest and grateful regards

The entire team around Dr. Heine is simply a blessing. From the receptionists to the doctors and colleagues to the laboratory, everything was just great. Everyone was warm and competent. We felt comfortable from the very first consultation. We had been to another practice before and eventually became just a number there and were no longer treated properly. With Dr. Heine, we got pregnant right away in the first ICSI cycle and continued to receive excellent treatment throughout the pregnancy. Now we are holding our fourth child, whom we wanted so much, healthy in our arms. Thank you so much for everything!

Working Together Toward a Common Goal

Your Request for Consistent Care – Our Commitment, Whenever Possible

Patients frequently express a wish for consistent doctor-patient continuity throughout both diagnostics and the entire course of therapy. We fully understand this desire; however, we ask for your understanding that this is not always possible.

To avoid unnecessary wait times and potential risks, our team members provide mutual coverage for one another. Thanks to our many years of collaborative experience and coordinated therapy standards, we ensure that you receive continuous and reliable care—individualized, competent, and held to the highest medical standards.

Rest assured that for all consultations and therapy planning sessions, you will always be advised by your original treating physician. This information primarily pertains to your routine appointments during the course of your treatment.
