Rahul Verma, 38, is a software...
Rahul Verma, 38, is a software engineer from Mumbai who moved to the US a decade ago. He and his wife, Priya, have been trying to conceive for four years. After initial tests revealed Priya had blocked fallopian tubes, they underwent three unsuccessful IUI cycles. Their reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Evans, recommended IVF as the most effective path to pregnancy, given Priya's tubal factor. The treatment experience was intense for the couple, daily hormone injections for Priya, frequent monitoring appointments, and the emotional strain of the two-week wait. The egg retrieval and fertilization went well, resulting in two viable embryos. One was transferred, and the other frozen. The recovery for Priya was physically demanding with bloating and fatigue, but manageable. Two weeks later, a blood test confirmed pregnancy. Rahul's emotional journey was one of guarded hope and silent stress, feeling the pressure as the primary earner and wanting to support Priya. The positive outcome brought immense relief and a cautious, overwhelming joy, finally feeling like their family dream was within reach.
