Tailor made or Readymade..what would you like?

"Treat a Person, not a symptom or a body part" a wise physician would say! But even in our daily lives, do we really follow the exclusivity of choices, or do we just succumb to the over hyped retail chains of goods that are off the shelves? What would you do when choosing some thing optional, not an essential? Fertility treatment falls in the exclusive domain of optional rather than an essential, unlike say a Cesarean Section or a Bypass surgery. It cannot be and should not be an option one chooses off the shelf.
First thing that drives a fertility treatment is the wish of the patient. What they want and how soon is the prime concern here. Then comes the clinical opinion on whether what they wish for is realistic and medically sound for the given situation. Associated is the evaluation of the expectations and concerns of the couple. Hence fertility treatment ideally should be tailor made for the clinical diagnosis, wishes of the patient and cater to them as a special couple, looking into each and every aspect closely and personally. For a similar kind of clinical diagnosis, the approach can be very different in a girl of 25 and one at 37.It will also heavily depend on how the couple want their treatment plan shaped.
A ready made option with a ready price tag puts off the couple and is never the ideal solution. We need some more personal touch, consideration for the delicate issue it is and deal with this as a freshly fashioned boutique treatment pertaining to the one couple sitting in the consulting room at the time. Instilling confidence in the couple is as important as delivering them the correct treatment and that comes with the tailor made treatment plan, involving the couple in each step. Remember, what we know well does'nt scare us!

What Scares You.....

All of us can answer differently to the above question! I would say "Creepy Crawlies" of the world..but that does not mean that I would not try to face them when the situation demands, avoid as I may! When it comes to Fears, its like an omnipresent chapter in our lives, the face of it may differ from person to person. But one thing we all are scared of.."Failure"!! How we deal with the fear is another aspect. Some may deny it, others would ignore it, few may succumb to it. Best is to deal with it! It is the same in our journey to fertility, we pass the same stages of denial, ignorance and for some , succumbing to it. Then there are those brave souls who deal with it! Hats off to them!! A woman who has a mortal fear of needles, going through a fertility treatment is to me like a brave soldier who has pulled up her socks and gathered her armamentarium of strengths and has declared war on the hurdles in between her and the conception she so desires!Even though she holl

Before the next Teardrop Falls.....

The various events for a "Woman's Day" prompted me to think...Why a day? Why not celebrate a Lifetime? The celebration of the many aspects of Womanhood! From a Daughter who brings immense joy to the parents, and is always there for in a quiet, sometimes boisterous ways... To a Sister who walked with you through thick and thin.. To a Girlfriend who brought out the best in you... To a Wife , who made sure you stuck to your guts exploring the best in you! And above all to the Mother, who instilled the best in you!!  All the other pages were handed over to us in a way to execute, all except "Motherhood", which then becomes a woman's prerogative, to initiate and perpetuate until the fulfilment comes in the shape of a bundle of joy, which is incidentally shared by the whole family! Its a huge responsibility, which comes easy to some and as a battle to some others.   If having children was part of your life plan, as is for most of the women,accepting that a baby wo

Is twice as nice ?

Secondary infertility is inability to conceive or carry ahead the pregnancy again after a woman has once conceived earlier. There are broadly two type of couple here, one who already have a baby and fail to achieve a pregnancy second time around, and secondly, couple who conceive but the pregnancy does not carry forward for any medical reason. These couples suffer for a trauma and emotional stress not very well appreciated. Difficulty in conceiving a second child may come as a shock to the couple, particularly if no problems were experienced before. The reaction that some couples face “ be happy you have one” can be very depressing for a couple desperately trying for a child. The average incidence of secondary infertility is 20-30 percent of the general infertility population. The main causes for secondary infertility are similar to those of Primary infertility like tubal block, endometriosis, fibroid uterus, altered sperm parameters with the added burden of age and lifes
