“Thanks to IVI and assisted reproduction I am a mother”
We love to hear from you and even more so if they come in the form of such beautiful and emotional letters as this one. A patient tells us about her long journey to be a mother thanks to assisted reproduction in IVI, more difficult than she had imagined at first, but in which she did not lose heart or throw in the towel, not even when her doctor advised her that her body will rest for a while.
Thanks to the IVI Mallorca team and especially to Dr. Marqueta, director of the clinic, the protagonists of this story were able to achieve their dream of being parents, first of a beautiful girl and then of a little brother who once again filled with enthusiasm and joy to the whole family.
This year, for Christmas, we are thanking all those who help us every day in our work, but we will never tire of thanking all the patients who enter through the clinics and give us lessons of strength and the fight for dream.
Do you want to know its history? You can read it below …
In my first IVF I got pregnant
The first time I entered IVI I was 28 years old, with fear of the unknown but with enthusiasm and that’s how it was. I had my first IVF and at nine months my princess arrived, a girl just like we both wanted, beautiful and healthy. A few years passed and we wanted to give her a little brother, thinking that since we had frozen embryos, this was going to be sewing and singing. I had three transfers and all with negative beta and there I began to realize how tough a road this can be.
We did another cycle and obtained 4 embryos, the first one tested positive, but after a few days the beta was dropping; the second was positive, the days began to pass, but I began to stain and have contractions, we managed to hear his heart but after hours I expelled it. That feeling of emptiness and those images in my mind are a difficult memory to erase. I had two other transfers that tested positive but ended the same, in abortions.
Stop to get another pregnancy
I remember the day I sat in front of my doctor after my last abortion and he said to me without embryos: we don’t know why, but your body rejects it, now we have to stop.
How could I stop if two nights before I had promised my daughter that I would fight to the end? And so it was, I left the consultation at 36 years old and without knowing if my experience with assisted reproduction would end there.
For the next two years I couldn’t close that door and many times I thought how lucky I was to have my princess and that my head needed to rest from this now. But deep in my heart I knew he would come.
I was able to become a mother again thanks to assisted reproduction
And without saying anything to anyone I went to see my doctor, I told him that I had to try one more time and that I knew that whatever it was would end there. So after many tests we got going and after having a low ovarian reserve we got four good embryos. With a complete immunological study in which everything was correct, I began a treatment to avoid possible rejection. With so much medication in the pregnancy, my only fear was that it would come healthy.
And yes, I had my positive, although that fear that it would end badly consumed me. But little by little the days passed, we heard its first heartbeat and the months passed. It took me a long time and after a lot of nerves the big day arrived. When I saw him, I did not know or react, he was here, with us, my precious and healthy child. Today I look back and I don’t know how I managed it, but it was all worth it, to see the wonderful family that I have.
Thanks to my traveling companion, who already knew that it was not going to be easy, but you knew that I would not give up, and to my princess for so much generosity with me by telling me that you did not want siblings so as not to see me suffer. The day I saw your face when you saw your brother, those eyes with which you look at him … that is priceless.
Thank you Dr. Marqueta for so much affection, for listening to me, I have cried with you more times than with anyone, and thank you for making me stop when I should. This by your side has been easier.
Signed: Two very lucky dads
