This is a story of Sita a thirty two years highly educated lady working in a bank.
Her
beauty used to tease many of her school-mates and it still does so to her
recent colleagues. This beautiful lady
was attracted to a handsome businessman & Sita got married to him 12 years
ago. She started to live with him, his parents & his younger brother. The
couple enjoyed their married life for 4 years & for last few years they
were trying to have a child in their family.
They
consulted in different clinics with different specialists. During the course of investigation, Sita
discovered that her husband had no abnormality, but she herself had a problem
which would not allow the couple to conceive. Her menses were never in time, actually
always late since it started at the age of 13. Instead of every month, her menses used to
come once in every 6-10 months period.
For this problem her husband used to tease her that he had married a man
not a woman.
She
underwent treatment in many renowned hospitals & nursing homes but could
not conceive. She even gave up her job for the sake of treatment.
Sita
had a brother with family in the United States.
The couple went to him seeking the possibility of any treatment there.
They tried treatment for about three months but there was no success for
fertility even in the US. In US also, the
problem was found in Sita’s ovaries which were not able to produce healthy eggs
to support fertility, while her husband was found to have normal fertility
ability.
After
they returned home, the husband started to behave very oddly with Sita.
Although they were known to be “couple made for each other” they were not seen
together for a long time. Her husband used to go to parties alone & come
home late from office.
The
in-laws were also behaving unusually, as if they were trying to avoid her during
every occasion.
One
day Sita discovered from the in-laws that all arrangements were made for a
second marriage of her husband. They were
trying to get her permission for her husband’s re-marriage. When Sita discovered about the rumor she
asked her husband about this matter but he refused to discuss anything about it.
Sita
was in agony. She was shearing this problem with her friends but they were
scared to support her and meddle in her family matters. Some of them tried to
talk to her husband but he denied to discuss it.
Sita
had a widow mother who was living with her elder sister in a joint family. Her
mother & sister were the only persons, from whom she could receive some
moral support.
It
was the month of Ashwin when everybody was preparing for Dashain. Sita’s
loneliness had no end. She was severely depressed and used to cry every now
& then. One day when there was no one at home, she tried to commit suicide by
poisoning herself. She was found unconscious when her husband reached home. After
hospitalization for a week she recovered and since then, someone escorted her
every time she went somewhere.
Her
friends in the bank were very much concerned about her problem. One of her
friends had heard about Infertility Centre & Sita was brought there by her.
When she visited the centre she already had lost her period for 6 months. During
her visit she looked very pretty but had dressed-up quite weirdly. She was
severely depressed & was not willing to disclose matters relating to her
relationship with her husband. When she was counseled alone in a friendly
environment she mentioned about her late period which, according to her, was
the major problem of their infertility.
She
was investigated appropriately & was found to be a case of Polycystic
ovaries. These polycystic women do not produce normal eggs, and hence do not
menstruate in time due to hormonal problems.
Her
abnormal hormones were supported with appropriate hormonal supplements. She was
followed up carefully for three weeks. This time, she did not menstruate in the
expected time. As a rule before starting next treatment, a pregnancy test is
necessary. The test was done & surprisingly she had a positive pregnancy
test.
This
news surprised everyone known to her. Her conception was a great miracle for
her husband as well as her in-laws. There brought a drastic change in her life
style! She became her husband’s beloved once again.
Her
pregnancy went uneventful. Her mother-in law was very much surprised to see her
delivering a healthy baby boy after fifteen months of missed period.
She
underwent Caesarean section. The boy is very healthy. He is 11 yrs. old. As she was a case of Polycystic ovaries, her
period were late again. She came to Infertility Centre & got similar
treatment. To her Good luck, she had second pregnancy after three years. This
time also she conceived after missing the period for three months.
Again
a cute second baby boy was delivered through caesarean section.
Sita
always had abnormally late cycle but these days she is too fertile. She is now
working in an international agency.
She
invites the Infertility Centre on every occasion related to her children. The
boys are handsome, friendly & intelligent.
It
was difficult to digest the fact that she has induced abortions of two later pregnancies!!!
