Experience:
We were married in May'98 & due to some problems in the regularity of my periods we consulted a doctor in Jan.'99.The doctcr advised me to get some hormone tests done.All was well with the tests except a hormone slightly raised. The doctor prescribed me some medicines.We consulted another doctor at AIIMS who firmly said that the medicines are not needed& can cause serious side effects if taken. We got confused & consulted a third,very well known and leading gynae of our city. After a check-up she suggested I had to undergo a surgery as I had 'polyp'outside my uterus due to which I cannot conceive.By this time we totally frustrated,confused & depressed.I went to my mother in another city & consulted a doctor there who said all is well with me and there is no need to worry. I came back and did not take any medicine nor had any surgery.We left everything on God & went for a short vacation. finally i conceived in Sept.'99 &thankfully everything is normal. My trust on doctors is completely shaken as a result of what we had to go through.

Experience:
After getting married in 1997,We planned to have our first baby in 2000A.D.,but I got desperate and finally after some persuasion I conceived in Nov'1998.I didn't know the ABC of pregnancy.So I didn't tell anyone and travelled a lot(My husband was out of country)and exerted hell out of myself. In the 6th week of pregnancy I started spotting.I got very scared and finally told everyone that I was pregnant and now it was threatened.Everyone in the family got angry with me.They took me to the Doctor who put me on some drugs and bed rest but destiny! Nothing could save my baby.I was devastated. Doctor told me to wait for atleast 3 months before planning for a baby again but because of my husband's transfer to Delhi 6 months flew past.Finally I conceived in June this year.But before that I did my full homework .I surfed every possible site on the net and read all the books available in the book store. I was given hormones for the first 3 months and now I am 6 months pregnant and perfectly healthy.I am enjoying this phase thorughly and waiting for the miracle to happen soon.I feel 9 months is too long a period but then all good things take their own time.

Country: India
Experience:
My first pregnancy was an unplanned one. and by the time we could confirm, I had a miscarriage. The second my husband and myself were very careful. The doctor too put me into total bedrest and I was given the best care. Unfortunately, in the begining of the fourth month, bleeding began and scanning revealed that the foetus was just 2 months old. I was totally shocked and disappointed. I had begun loving this baby of mine and suddenly I was told I was having a dead foetus in my stomach. I cried a lot but I was a lot practical too. It was better that the child din't survive. I was told if it did, there would have been abnormalities. Again my second D&C was done. The physical and mental pain is still very much alive in my heart even today. Again we tried but I wouldn't conceive. We changed our doctor i.e went for a second opinion and somehow felt more confident with this doctor. I was given fertility tablets to increase fertility and finally when nothing worked, the doctor suggested laproscopy. And then, that month, by God's grace, I conceived with no treatment nor any kind of medical procedure. Even though I was under total bedrest, everything went on well, and after a normal delivery I was mother to a lovely girl child. Today she is three and half years old. Now we have been trying to have a second child, but not successful. But I have that trust in God that If it is his will, then I will have one more child. We are also going to seek medical help immediately. To conclude, don't panic. Don't listen to others, instead seek reliable medical help and above all keep onself mentally strong, physically active and a strong faith in God.

Name: Kinnari
Country: India
Experience:
We had decided to wait for three years before trying to have a baby. We were both very young and wanted to enjoy life. When we decided to try for a baby, we couldn't conceive right away. The doctor told me it was because on my infrequent periods. I was really scared for a while that I may be infertile and never be able to have a bay. And my husband and I discussed about adoption. But all that was not required. My doctor put me on very mild hormones that would regularize my periods (and bring back regular ovulation) and very soon I was able to conceive. (It actaully happened when I had given up hope on this medicine).

Name: Party Animal
Country: India
Experience:
I was a party animal, and so was my husband. We loved to party. And then all of a sudden one day I discovered I was pregnant - a totally unplanned pregnancy. We debated about having an abortion, but finally decided to keep the baby. Since we weren't so keen on the baby, neither of us really cared about the pregnancy. In fact,we went out of our ways to carry on with our normal lives - i.e. parties and clubbing. Then in my 3rd moth I got a really scare. I started spotting and then bleeding - I was rushed to the hospital. There I wa administreed some drugs to stabilize the situation. I was told the pregnancy was very delicate and put on complete bed rest. When it hit me that I may lose the baby, I became upset, most upset. I actually WANTED the baby! That episode taught me a lesson. I then became very careful, went out and bought books on pregnancy and browsed the net for hours. I had become a changed person. To end a long story, I had a very normal delivery and am a proud mother of a 10 month-old baby. And I consider myself an ex-Party Animal

Name: Puja
Country: India
Experience:
You keep other people having miscarriages, but you don't believe it could happen to you. You are sure you will eat well, take care of your health, not take too much strain... and then the worst happens...you end up having a miscarriage. My doctor told me there was no particluar reason. Perhaps it was the body ways of getting rid of something unhealthy. But I can't stop myself from thinking about how the baby would have been.
