Blessed with Twins in the First IVF Cycle
Many patients believe that the first cycle of IVF is never successful – but for Ritwika (name changed), the experience has been a different one. The 32-year-old working professional visited my clinic for consultation last year with a history of recalcitrant PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome).
Overcoming Diminished Ovarian Reserve with In Vitro Fertilization
32-year-old Sarmishtha (name changed) and her husband, Arnab (35), had been trying for a baby for over 2 years without success. Instead of delaying any further, the couple approached me for consultation.
Cancer Could Not Suppress My Spirits Or Take Away My Dream Of Motherhood
I was 28 when I first felt an unusual lump in my right breast along with pain and swelling. As the symptoms got worse, I knew something was not right. So without delaying any further, I went on to get myself tested. The results confirmed I had breast cancer (stage 2). The doctor suggested I begin treatment at the earliest to ensure cancer does not spread beyond the breast tissues. Coping with a cancer diagnosis was hard – but there was more to it.
Couple Triumphs Over Infertility Through IVF
Failing to conceive naturally despite trying for over two years, Meghna & Reetam (name changed) came to me for consultation. On learning that Meghna had been experiencing pain in the pelvic area for the last few months along with increased bleeding during periods that seemed to be worsening with each cycle, I decided to run her through a few tests. The results confirmed my assumptions – Meghna had severe endometriosis, which was lowering her ovarian reserve and preventing ovulation.
Unblocking the Path to Parenthood with Frozen Embryo Transfer
After failing to conceive naturally post trying for three years, Ashish and Nibedita (name changed) decided to consult me. I made the couple undergo some tests. Ashish’s sperm count was healthy, but Nibedita had a blockage in her fallopian tube, which was obstructing the fertilization of her eggs. In such cases, IVF has been seen to be a good technique of assisted reproduction. The couple was willing, so post counseling we decided to go for in-vitro fertilization.
Embracing Motherhood Differently, at 45
Mrs and Mr Pal (name changed) had lost their 25-year-old son to a tragic accident. They had, however, not lost hope of parenting another child. When the elderly couple visited the clinic, I was amazed at their determination. Considering the wife’s age (45) and after running a few tests, I figured IVF (In vitro fertilization) would be the ideal treatment option for her, and strongly recommended the same.
Successful Pregnancy After Eight Miscarriages
They say that no two pregnancies are the same. That has certainly been the case with this couple.
Losing Faith after pregnancy losses
After recovering from the first pregnancy loss, both physically and emotionally, the couple started trying to get pregnant again. This time, things were not so easy. It took them a few months before they got a positive pregnancy test. However, other than anxiety and morning sickness, the pregnancy was otherwise healthy and unremarkable.
Born Four Months Early, This Tiny Survivor Beats the Odds
She was born at 24 weeks, a period dubbed by the doctors as “the gray zone”. Her parents had relied on IVF to conceive her. They named her Aarshiya. Born so prematurely, Aarshiya’s chances of survival were low but not without hope.
Newborn Aarshiya was in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for three whole months and needed special care round the clock. But with a feisty spirit, the child fought her way to recovery.
Embracing Motherhood after Kidney Transplant
29-year old Sima and her husband had always wanted to have children, but little did they know that IVF would be a part of their story – the reason they could finally live their dream of parenthood against all odds.
When the young homemaker from Bangladesh was diagnosed with renal failure two years into her marriage, her first thought was that her dream of motherhood would remain unrealised. After two years of dialysis, her doctor recommended kidney transplant. In July 2013 Sima underwent the surgery.
Motherhood Regained Through IVF
Little Aindri is a special child. An IVF baby, she has brought joy to her parents’ lives that they had thought was never possible again. Aindri is Mr. and Mrs. Sen’s second child. Her mother is 47 and father 50. Mr. and Mrs. Sen’s firstborn was a son. His birth, 26 years ago, was an occasion for great celebration in the Sen family. As the little boy grew, his parents’ dreams grew with him. A good student, he took up science in high school and made his parents proud when he secured a seat in a much-coveted Medical College.
