The NRI couple from USA after failing failed all
attempts of ART finally came to us for surrogacy .
We did 8 attempts of ICSI over several months with donor
egg, but as the sperms were of poor quality all the seven attempts gave
negative results .and finally in the eight attempt surrogacy was
successfully achieved.
The baby developed growth retardation from 28 weeks onward and we struggled to keep the baby safe, by various treatments and close surveillance.
We daily gave her heparin injections to increase blood
circulation .She was also administered protein as injections on drip
daily along with a high protein diet combined with bed rest in the hospital .
Multivitamins along with IRON , Calcium and vitamin D were given
from the starting.
The heart beat was monitored every 2 hours with foetal
movement chart . CTG was done 3 times daily, to check for foetal distress. Once
in a week steroid injections were administered to enhance the lung maturity. When bilateral uterine artery notching was detected, we thought
it may not go beyond 32 weeks , but we were determined to carry on .
The couple’s joy knew no bounds, when they held the precious
baby. As infertility specialists we often struggle to get results,
although it is the problem with gametes and we often repeat the procedure several
times bearing the additional expenses , as they pay only for one procedure.
