Aadya Shah is a 32-year-old marketing...
Aadya Shah is a 32-year-old marketing executive, married for five years and actively trying to conceive. Her journey began with a diagnosis of a hydrosalpinx (a blocked, fluid-filled fallopian tube) discovered during fertility investigations for unexplained infertility. Her doctor, Dr. Mehta, explained that the toxic fluid from the blocked tube could be leaking into her uterus, creating a hostile environment for embryos and significantly reducing the chances of successful IVF. Dr. Mehta recommended a laparoscopic salpingectomy to remove the damaged tube before proceeding with fertility treatment. Aadya was terrified that surgery might further diminish her chances of having a child. The procedure itself was straightforward, three small incisions, minimal pain, but the emotional weight was heavy. The recovery was quick; she was back to light duties in a week. Six months after her recovery, Aadya and her husband began IVF. The emotional shift was profound; from feeling broken and fearful, she now felt proactive and hopeful, having removed a known barrier to her dream of motherhood. Her first embryo transfer was successful.
