Sometimes, life throws unexpected challenges our way, but determination and the right plan helps to overcome everything. For us, the Hive Fertility Clinic gave us strength, hope, and the right plan. I’m Neha, and my husband is Arjun, we waited for two years to welcome our little one into the world.
After countless disappointments, we decided to seek help and visited the Hive Fertility Clinic. The doctors recommended a follicular study to monitor my ovulation. Initially, I felt anxious, but the expert team’s encouragement gave us hope that was the best decision we made because we were blessed with a beautiful baby.
Initial Struggles of Neha and Arjun
Even though it was two years after marriage, we faced a lot of struggles to become parents. Because we expected a baby in the next ten months after marriage, so we tried everything, tracking cycles, elder’s advice, various home remedies, and endless prayers. Then, we decided to visit a reputed fertility clinic with a high success rate of fertility treatments.
Doctors and staff at the hospital were very attentive and made us very comfortable, which helped us to open up about our problems at the first visit. They conducted a thorough evaluation and suggested many simple and advanced treatments such as IVF, IUI, HCG injections, and follicular monitoring. The doctor explained every process and reassured us that she would guide us through every step.
Later on, the doctor suggested we should undergo follicular study treatment as we were married two years ago and they suspect that the primary issue could be in egg maturation. As per their suggestion, I went through the follicular studies that revealed my follicles were not developing as they should, which is the most important problem for delay in my pregnancy even after trying for two years. The sperm and egg couldn’t meet at the right time and fertilize properly.
Our Treatment Journey
The doctor started the treatment plan and also included hormonal support. Then, I followed a healthy diet, did moderate exercise, and practised relaxation techniques to manage stress. The support from Arjun made me feel I was even stronger; we faced this journey together.
Doctors also recommended to consume sufficient amounts of these nutrition-rich foods as they can improve the pregnancy success rate. It includes whole wheat, moong dal (green gram), masoor dal (red lentil), chana dal, rajma (kidney beans), chickpeas, paneer (cottage cheese), milk, curd (yoghurt), ghee (clarified butter), spinach, methi (fenugreek), broccoli, sweet potatoes, carrots, pomegranate, banana, orange, apple, amla (Indian gooseberry), almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, and coconut water.
After a few cycles of monitoring and treatment, we finally received the news we had been waiting for, and my follicles were maturing. Once the dominant follicle reached the right size (typically 18-24 mm), an ovulation trigger shot (usually hCG) was given to ensure the egg was released. After multiple monitoring, we were advised on the best time to try for a baby naturally. Then, the doctor suggested waiting for two weeks and we did hopefully this time.
The Result Day
After a two-week wait, I felt like vomiting and dizziness so, I decided to take a home pregnancy test. I couldn’t believe my eyes, it was two pink lines saying that I was pregnant. After showing this to Arjun, we decided to visit the hospital.
So, we went to the clinic for official confirmation, and after taking a blood test, the doctor confirmed the good news. We were so happy and words could describe how we felt. Thanks to Hive Fertility Clinic for staying by our side in the toughest phase of our lives.
