Meenal had been
diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) at the age of only 16 and was
on medication for long and obviously her chances of getting pregnant with PCOS
were very weak.
What are the challenges of getting pregnant with PCOS?
PCOS is one of the most
common causes of infertility in women and can have a number of symptoms
including irregular periods and excess facial hair.
The diagnosis had hit Meenal
hard and she admits that she coped with it by mentally closing off the option
of ever having children. Getting pregnant with PCOS is therefore came as a
complete surprise, when many years later and with a partner, she unexpectedly fell pregnant but, just as
she was getting used to the idea, she had a miscarriage.
Meenal lost all hope
and then she heard from some of her friends about our centre and came to us.
Unfortunately she was unable to fall pregnant naturally. We had made some basic
investigations and the tests confirmed that she was not ovulating (producing an
egg) regularly.
Women who are unable to
conceive due to irregular ovulation are often given fertility drugs to
stimulate the ovaries and treat infertility.
Meenal was on fertility
drugs earlier by her GP, and after no success, we suggested her IVF treatment
at Shantah Fertility Centre.
Meenal said: “I
remember being incredibly nervous in the build-up to my first visit to Shantah
Fertility Centre. I’ve never liked injections and was concerned about needle
size. However, I saw the clinic on an open day and I was instantly put at ease.
The clinic was comfortable and seemed almost homely, certainly not surgical.”
“The nurse and other
assisting staff were so helpful, talking me through the process and even
getting me to practice injecting a sponge. It was an incredibly well organised
process, for example all the injections and medication I needed were delivered
to my home.”
Birthday Surprise
Just before Meenal 's
birthday in early February 2020 it was confirmed that Meenal had successfully
become pregnant after IVF at Shantah Fertility Centre and, the following
October, her daughter was born whom she named Shanaya.
As an infertility
specialist, I would advise everyone to go through proper check up and focus on
your overall health first before starting a family. Shantah Fertility is
considered the best IVF Centre in Delhi, is established with the primary focus
to bring joy to those childless couples who are downcast and crestfallen by
their effort in the pursuit of conceiving a baby. Since the inception of our
fertility clinic, we have worked with lots of devotion and conscientiousness to
build trust and win the hearts of countless patients who have to achieve their
dream at our centre considerably. For that reason, today we are considered
among one of the best fertility treatment centre in New Delhi.
