IVF Success Story No. 6
Mrs SD had suffered from abdominal tuberculosis at the age of 22 years and was on antituberculosis treatment for over a period of 1 year. Her husband Mr JD also had diabetes for over 5 years.
The couple was trying to conceive since 4 years and Mrs SD was seriously worried about her irregular cycles. She already had undergone 3 cycles of ovarian stimulation with Clomiphene Citrate. They came for their first consultation in the clinic when wife and husband were 32 years & 36 years of age respectively.
The first consultation with thorough check up diagnosed a 1.5 cm polyp arising from cervix and she underwent a Hysteroscopy with polyp excision along with laparoscopy in the same month at Indo Nippon IVF under expert care. Laparoscopy showed filmy adhesions at multiple places and distorting tubo-ovarian anatomy, which were taken care with adhesiolysis in the same sitting. Hysteroscopic endometrial sample was tested with TB-PCR and was found to be negative.
Her polycystic appearance of ovaries, increased number of antral follicles & raised prolactin levels warranted treatment & a proper stimulation. A conventional IVF with antagonist protocol was designed for her with recombinant FSH 150 IU/ day and agonist trigger was chosen. The cycle had a yield of 15 good A grade embryos and 4 B grade embryos.
All the embryos were cryopreserved (ACCUVIT) and a remote cycle transfer was planned 1 month later. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome was prevented taking all the precautions at all the steps.
Within 4 months of her first visit to the clinic, a frozen embryo transfer with 3 A grade embryos was planned and resulted in successful outcome in the first attempt itself.
Their dream has become a reality and beginning of new year 2016 has blessed them with two little, most beautiful treasures in this world, a boy and a girl.
The fertility treatment was holistic and aimed at all possible factors.
