Diya Iyer, a 38-year-old software architect,...
Diya Iyer, a 38-year-old software architect, had been trying to conceive for four years. She and her husband had undergone three unsuccessful rounds of IVF, each ending in early miscarriage. The emotional toll was immense, leaving Diya feeling like her body was failing her. Her fertility specialist, Dr. Rao, recommended a Tubal Embryo Transfer (TET) as a next step. He explained that transferring a carefully selected, high-quality embryo directly into her fallopian tube, the natural site for early embryo development, might create a more optimal environment for implantation than a standard uterine transfer. The procedure itself, performed under light sedation, was quick. Diya felt hopeful but guarded. The two-week wait was agonizing. When the pregnancy test came back positive, and subsequent scans showed a strong heartbeat, Diya and her husband wept with relief. Her emotional journey shifted from one of profound loss and self-doubt to cautious optimism and a renewed connection to her body, finally allowing herself to believe in a successful pregnancy.
