Is the frustration worth the joy ? For this you definitely need to go through my journey.

This is something I have asked myself many times over the past 12 years. I often wondered whether I would be able to answer this question anytime sooner or even at all. I have waited so long to become a mother, to feel those little flutters inside my tummy, to watch my tummy grow with every passing month. I have had this desire for more than 12 years and I’m probably the closest I’ve ever been to fulfilling my dream – only 3 months to having a baby , yet I feel so far away from it all. I can’t tell you how or why I feel this way.

I have never liked waiting for anything. I believe that the older we get the more control we inherit or develop and I couldn’t think of anything further from the truth. As we grow older , we are bound by the timelines , jobs and everything else the society dictates to us, do we ever admit that we are never in control of our lives and what happens? Doctors say , ‘these things take time ‘, yes they do ! I waited & waited, because this is the thing when you want something you have to jump through the hoops and those hoops in my case are umpteen of them. And I never wanted to be defined by a folder with notes which had no explanation why 10 IUI cycles failed , miscarriages and the time 3 cycles of IVF failed nearly destroyed my hope and confidence.

Life moves on , new dreams are dreamt and new memories are made. All this happened after we consulted Dr. Vyjayanthi. The best connection we felt about her is the personal attention, round the clock support, nominal procedure and a sense of accountability in keeping us updated and informed at each phase . Dr Vyjayanthi helped us ease all the past pain that was ingrained within deeply due to my past exposure. She has been a humble support system for us since we got in touch with her , quiet understanding of our situation. As I had a history of miscarriage , she gave us courage that we will very well be able to conceive, ran thorough tests and check up before planning a treatment plan which nevertheless helped us figure our chances and possibilities. Dr. Vyjayanthi’s motto is “Don’t give up hope”.

With great strength & support from the doctor and her well trained staff of experts I started my cycle and went through the entire treatment with minimum medication , which I felt was the best part of my journey so far compared to all the experiences in the past. There was a sense of calm and solace from within. And the big day we conceived in our very first trial of IVF under Dr. Vyjayanthi’s care. Really grateful to her for this closure with the huge journey we had to go though. And I must say we are blessed finally with the joy we longed for .

Had to mention that sometimes all this can be the hardest hurdles until we believe and find the right source of healing during our trials to get pregnant and all this can be emotionally and mentally draining . I had got a chance to be part of a support group where I got to know about numerous women who were sailing with me on the same ship . It gave me a grieving space and confidence to fight this phase and stay positive.

We can’t thank enough ; Dr.Vyjayanthi and her staff at the hospital for all they did for us and for their care and support .

Thank you.
