When we were celebrating our 3rd anniversary is when we thought about having a baby will complete our family. My husband always loved kids, but somehow we were not serious about that decision in 3+ years of married life.

Time was ticking fast, slowly I became desperate to conceive as I crossed my 30’s. We both felt all fingers pointing at us that we are not having a baby after 4+ years. I tried to maintain good health, plan to exercise, plan my diet, reduce office workload, etc. but we could not conceive normally. Finally, we have decided to consult another doctor who is one of the senior-most in Hyderabad. There again we started from zero. Every month’s arrival of my periods used to make us depressed. I lost all hopes that I could not have a baby in my life. My husband stood with me as a warrior, he didn’t give up again.

The current Doctor suggested contacting Dr. Vyjayanthi madam. Just one consultation with her gave us hope, and we know this journey has not ended. Dr Vyjayanthi madam analyzed each and every point, she came up with a list of tests, procedures like Hysteroscopy, regular scans and she declared that our case comes under unexplained infertility, which means both of us do not have any problems and we have a high probability to conceive a baby with IVF without many hurdles. This time hearing this from an expert made us feel very happy.
It took 6 months for the IVF to take place. During the month of the egg collection cycle, I had to go through laparoscopy for torsion in my ovary. Injections of eggs to extract were good but this process stimulated my ovaries hence was followed by surgery to detorsion of the ovary. I kept my spirits up, madam visited me personally and gave me the strength. Out of all these sufferings, the good news was a good number of embryos were formed. After 6 months of waiting the moment came where I conceived in the same cycle. The good news made us cry with happiness.

The minute when I know I am pregnant I decided I will be confident about my pregnancy, no matter what happens I will never put my confidence levels down, and for sure I am going to be a mother after 9 months, I kept on remembering my own strength. The hidden fact (as I said earlier, I conceived with 3 babies) came to the limelight in my 8th week that there is a baby with a heartbeat implanted in my fallopian tube. The doctor took care and we were finally blessed with a healthy baby boy with our first pregnancy.

My little one changed our world. Now we are proud parents. He is a naughty, very sweet, and cute baby. We always dreamt to have 2 babies. Again, the time arrived to plan the second baby. We want to have one more baby just like my first one. We love him so much that we want one more of the same kind who can grow along with him. We made our plans again to plan the next IVF for a second child to complete our family. We were very sure I will conceive in the first attempt itself based on our previous experience. But no luck, we were shocked to know I was not pregnant. I started consulting psychologist Divya maam to bring back confidence in us. We tried the next cycle too.

This time it is a different experience for us as we are seeing failures, I don’t know what to think and what kind of thoughts to avoid. How to keep me calm and neutral? All the pain that we have gone through for a baby flashed us again. I calmed myself with the thought that “I gave a try for a second baby wholeheartedly. If it works fine. Otherwise, I will continue my life as usual with my first baby”. The fresh cycle worked great for us. Madam suggested getting the early scans. I started experiencing severe pain in my lower abdomen after 5thweek and the pain persisted . Vyjayanthi madam suggested (laparoscopy to detorsion ovary and ectopic surgery during pregnancy). And the doctor assured me she will try her best to save my babies and my both babies survived.

In a nutshell, in this process, I learnt that few things won’t be in our hands but with a strong determination and family support we can surely reach our end goal – “delivering a healthy baby”.

Always remember conceiving is the first step there is a lot after that like, 9 months of pregnancy care, baby feeding, baby health care, bringing up the kid, etc. Especially we women are blessed with a strong mindset and patience. Anything that you will achieve in life only with commitment and strong determination requires a lot of patience. Trust your doctor. Be stressed-free. One day you will see your babies live playing in front of you. For that you will have to start this process, should be able to make decisions with your expert doctors, “Mother to be” is surely such a place where you can trust their integrity. I am sure after reading my story you will pray for the healthy delivery of my twins this year. All the very best to all mother-to-be ladies!
