We thought, we would share
the real story of one of our female patients in the blog today, so that
everyone gets a fair picture of a patient’s journey through various stages of infertility
treatments.
Ten years had passed since
Carol (name changed) started her married life. The first two years, they tried to
conceive naturally, but without any luck. Then they visited a gynaecologist, who advised them to go through Laparoscopy.
Subsequently Carol underwent laparoscopy four times and also tried IUI procedure
four times. In spite of all the treatments, there was no positive result. They were from an average middle class family and all this treatments
were making them financially weak.
Then they decided to try
their luck with ICSI procedure in one of the famous hospitals for infertility,
but unfortunately the results were again negative. Sadly, infertility was affecting their married
life and due to the pressure from social obligations, Carol was divorced by her
husband as she failed to conceive.
In 2005, Carol got married again at the age of 35 and the whole process of trying for a child started again. She
went through IVF procedure four times and each time, the IVF was performed by highly qualified foreign doctors, but still she
couldn’t conceive. Once she had
naturally conceived, but the happiness was short lived as two months later she
lost the baby in a miscarriage.
Then they came to know
about surrogacy and finally, after a lot of research came to us. We
explained to them about the whole procedure of surrogacy and they were happy
and decided to go ahead with the
surrogacy option. Their joy knew no
bounds, when we informed them that the surrogate mother was pregnant with their
baby. Few days back the surrogate delivered a healthy baby and Carol and her husband were exhilarated as the void in their
life was filled by this happy moment. Every time we bring smile on a patient’s face,
it gives us immense pleasure and job satisfaction.
We wish Carol and her family, a lifetime of love and happiness!!
