Role of IVF in Providing Hope to Families Experiencing Loss

IVF (in vitro fertilisation) offers hope to families who have experienced loss, providing a path to parenthood when natural conception is difficult. By allowing for the careful selection of healthy embryos, IVF can reduce the risk of genetic issues and increase the likelihood of a successful pregnancy. This revolutionary technique not only transformed the landscape of fertility treatment but also offered a chance at parenthood to those who thought all hope was lost.

The Emotional Toll of Losing a Child

The grief of losing a child is indescribable. Sonali and her husband, Pijush Sadhukhan, experienced this when their only son, Pushan, took his last breath when he was just 14 years old. The emotional turmoil they endured was immense, leaving them numb with grief. However, their determination to become parents remained unwavering.

Turning to IVF: A Beacon of Hope

Sonali and her husband decided to give it one last try and because of their advanced ages (couple was in late 40S) made a conscious decision to go for an IVF. Against all odds, the treatment was successful, and they were on the seventh heaven to learn they were expecting twins. This news reignited their hope and gave them a reason to keep fighting.

The Joy of IVF

Two years after the accident, the couple discovered they were having identical twins, a moment that filled them with shock, happiness, and fear all at once. Despite the challenges of a difficult pregnancy, the birth of their daughters was a sweet experience. While they mourned the loss of Pushan, the arrival of the twins brought them immense joy and a renewed sense of purpose.

Healing Through New Beginnings

The birth of twins marked the beginning of a new chapter for Sonali and her husband. Although the pain of losing Pushan would never fully heal, the new family members' presence in their lives was a constant reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the power of love. Their arrival redefined happiness for this grieving couple, giving them a reason to embrace life's precious moments.

What are the Success Rates of IVF Pregnancies

As the world of reproductive medicine continues to evolve, the success rates of IVF twin pregnancies have become a topic of intense interest and hope for many. The success rates of IVF twin pregnancies depend on various factors, including the mother's age, the quality of the embryos, and the specific IVF protocols used. Generally, transferring more than one embryo increases the chances of a twin pregnancy, with about 20-30% of IVF pregnancies resulting in twins when two embryos are transferred.

Counselling Support for Grieving Parents at Ferty9

At Ferty9 Fertility Centre, we understand the profound emotional impact of infertility and the grief that accompanies the loss of a child. Our team of compassionate counsellors is dedicated to providing comprehensive support to grieving parents throughout their journey.

Reproductive Trauma and Psychological Consequences

The experience of infertility can be a transformative and traumatic event, altering a woman's perception of herself and her role in society. The desire for parenthood is a universal phenomenon, and the inability to conceive can lead to significant distress, particularly for women who tend to exhibit more pronounced emotional responses.

Prevalence of Psychiatric Symptoms

Women encountering infertility and perinatal loss may experience psychiatric symptoms and disorders. The cyclical pattern of intense emotions, often described as a "roller coaster," can be overwhelming and challenging to navigate without professional support.

Stress can also be a deterrent in men. Males with anxiety issues may have lower total motile sperm on the day of the egg retrieval.

Conclusion

The journey of Sonali and Pijush, from the depths of grief to the pinnacle of joy, highlights the transformative power of IVF twins in bringing hope to grieving parents. From losing their son in a tragic lake rowing accident to welcoming twins through IVF, their story showcases the resilience of the human spirit. The arrival of their twins, now approaching their second birthday, has given them a renewed sense of purpose and a reason to embrace life's precious moments again.

While the path to parenthood through IVF can be emotionally and physically demanding, it offers a beacon of hope for those grappling with loss and infertility. The Sadhukhans' experience underscores the importance of perseverance, emotional support, and expert medical care in navigating this challenging journey. Their story inspires others facing similar struggles, reminding us that even in the face of profound loss, new beginnings and joy are possible.
