Name: Preeti P

Hi All,
I have joined this site recently, but have landed across some of the threads while searching on google.
I have had 3 miscarriages in past 2 years, have been married since 4 years. I have been treated by Dr.Jyothika Desai at Desai Nursing Home for 1.5 years without any results. I was made to go thru several cycles on contraceptives as I am a PCOD patient. I also went thru Laproscopy, but did not conceive even once in that 1.5 yrs.
I shifted to Dr.Madhuri Patil in June 2008 with lots of hopes.She suggest to go thru IUI, and in the second IUI I conceived with twins.
On 5th week, I was started with Claxane Injections as the fetal heartbeat was low. Following week, when I went thru scan, one heartbeat had stopped and another was very weak.
I went to Medha Dignostics- Dr.Preethi Venkatesh did the sonography, and told that one sack is empty and in another, there is no heartbeat. I lost both babies.
I was made to understand by the Doctor that trying to conceive naturally would be just waste of time, as it may not happen at all.
But 3 months after my miscarriage, I conceived again naturally,and I realized that only in the 5th week. Again I cosulted Dr. Patil, and she started with medicines and Claxane Injections.
In the 6th week my HCG levels started dropping, and I had another miscarriage.
In sept 2009, I conceived for the 3rd time with the help of IUI, but still the results are the same. I could not see the fetal pole even after waiting for 10 weeks.

I have gone thru various tests, and all of them say everything is perfect. I do not have anti-sperm antibodies, my TORCH is negative and all other tests are perfectly normal.

Only thing that might be somewhat positive that, its no more an unexplained infertility. But even after conceiving with the help of IUI and naturally, I am still not being able to carry the pregnancy to the full term, that' s what bothers me to no end.
My experience with Dr.Jyothika Desai was not so good, even though the Doctor herself is kind, but there is no such thing as privacy for the patients, or at the same time, 3/4 other patients will be there in the consultation room. Also, they are least organized and one has to keep waiting for hours together.
As for Dr.Madhuri Patil is concerned, they are clearly into minting money. Every visit will cost a minimum of 750/-Rs. and Dr. Maduri Patil will reply only in monosyllables.A DnC costs around Rs.15,000/- and there is no end to other expenses. I must mention that some of the trainee Doctors are wonderful, like Dr.Meenakshi. But all in all, my experience has not been very good, after trying for 3 years, and going thru 3 miscarriages, and spending about 2 lakhs, I want to see a doctor who has a different approach and who can explain things in a better way.

Can someone suggest any Doctor in North Bangalore? I read somewhere that Dr. Nalini Devi is good.. should I cousult her?
