They got married and lived happily everafter....errrr...He was 26 she was 21.. young and impatient...poor and aimbitious... He wanted to carve a niche for himself..she was confused but wanted to be independent... he opted working harder..she opted further studies...There minds occupied with carving a better future ...they decided to stay off the family way untill she is 25...
In a couple of years she is busy with her new job in one city and he is busy with his hi-paying job in another city..... both have worked very hard for the bright future they envisioned... couple of years more they shift back to the same city.
She is 26 now and he is 31..started on the family way???? no not yet.. indecision sets in they decide to wait another year... and both forget about it...unless her 27th birthday...
They toss the precautions and few month pass...each month brings the same news BFN...she decided to visit gynae... he was reluctant...and here starts the struggle..
Here we come to know how Indian doctors are trained to be money minters and how less they care about what patient is actually talking about... every next gynae claims to be Infertilty specialist... while no one is actually responsible enough to admit and tell patient that they need to visit an RE- Reproductive endocrinologist.
First Gynae decides nothing is wrong try for another six months on clomid, multi-vitamins, forgets to tell about checking ovulation cycles and timing intercourse.. another gruelling six months pass... I dont know where to go..He doesnt want to go anywhere...
See here the Indian social conditioning takes over,Girl is reluctant to ask people, fearing a question mark on her fertility.
Doctor tells me now I might be a candidate for PCOS..they just forgot they put me through 6 clomid cycles and totally forgot about the traces of clomid which might be the reason of multiple eggs shown in my ovaries.
I visits a nearby clinic, advertising infertility treatment...Doctor#2 puts her on 2 more clomid cycles and after BFN decides to check for Sperm count / Uterine TB / tubal blackage
Sperm count > 50 million
Fallopian Tubal Blockage : She does an HSG X-ray without local anaesthetic...and i am dying with pain... shouting my lungs out on the opd table...results both tubes are blocked.. she forgets to mention the fact that tubes can go into spasm during HSG..and HSG X-ray have 50% chance to be correct..
Uterine biopsy for TB: She tries it again without the anaesthtic and I just refuse to bear the pain any more..mid way i shout her to stop.. she asks to give first menstrual blood sample ... which concludes i.e. i have TB, she just doesnt tell that Uterine TB cannot be checked by menstrual blood, but should only be checked using Endometrial tissue.
Well these minor overlooked facts and the doctors diagnosis that i have a slim chance to get pregnant unless i take 3 months TB medication...Also it pushes me into a looong depression...
2 weeks with TB medication and my body is allergic to all the medicines...Doc cant find why am i allergic, she keeps the TB meds on puts me on additional steroids for allergic reaction without informing me they are steriod... well i am not illiterate ...i am depressed and fed up...i decide to take matters in my own hands..start reading about all the findings facts and medicines.. and just stop the TB medication... the allergy resides as soon as the TB medication is stopped.. I am normal again but devastated ..utterly depressed...I decide never ever to visit that doc again.
Not just the treatement but the statements made by doc..that i have a slim chance at pregnancy...bla bla..bla..was totally rude and inconsiderate coming from a doctor..
