Together with her husband, Mino Matsa, Olga Kefalogianni was invited to the show “Enopios Enopio” with Nikos Hatzinikolaou, Thursday night, on ANT1. The Minister of Tourism spoke from the heart about the decision to proceed with the IVF process and create her own family.
The process of in vitro fertilization
“I have dealt a lot with demographics as a politician, which is undoubtedly the biggest problem in our country. This certainly has to do with the fact that women now have multiple roles to which we must respond. That’s why on the one hand we leave it until after motherhood, so many times it’s not that easy, on the other hand putting it all together is not very simple if you don’t have the support.”
“When I found myself now in this position, of a woman who, now at an advanced age, decides that she wants to have a family. I had written it off and apparently this woke up when I met Minos because, for me at least, this was a condition that had to exist in order to create a family.”
I am very disappointed
“The mental part is also very important in the process of IVF because many times success does not come with the first attempt and there you may have been disappointed, you may feel that your wings are being cut” commented the host of the evening with the guest of answering as follows. “I’ve felt it just like that. I have been very frustrated to the extent that I think it was from the times I broke down (ie during the IVF process). I say it now very openly, despite the fact that I have been through a lot and I thought that I could always not lose control in everything.”
