My IVF angel

Dear Doctor,

Thank you doesn’t come close to describing my gratitude for all you have done for me. Not only are you an outstanding doctor, but you are a wonderful person. There’s no way I can ever thank you for being such an awesome doctor. You’ve always been honest, patient & encouraging. I’m extremely lucky to be taken care of by you. My whole family is. Thanks for making me feel so special. Thanks for putting up with me and my tantrums also.

I remember the first day when I met you at your clinic, all alone, scared, frustrated and depressed because of my inability to become a mother. I had been literally pushed by my boss who is also a doctor to meet you. I had come to you with no hopes, more so since I was tired of visiting various gynaecologists for 17 years and spending lakhs of rupees on my so called treatment.

My first meeting with you kindled a ray of hope yet again and I agreed to undergo an IVF  under your supervision. Unfortunately the first cycle failed leaving me depressed completely. However, with your patient ear towards me and your encouragement I decided to undergo another cycle of IVF. I had made a promise to myself during my second attempt that if I fail this time, I would never ever try again. But as you say “never say never”, your magical hands did the unbelievable…… my implants were successful and voila – I was pregnant. The word sounded Greek and Latin to me. My mother thought I was insane when I broke the news to her.  Allah Almighty had heard my prayers and decided to bless me with my little bundle of joy.  All this after 18 years of my marriage.  HE gave me my world when I became a proud mommy to my son on 16th of October 2013 on the auspicious occasion of EID!! I am still in a daze, two months after my delivery. The feeling of being  a mother has yet to sink in. Every time I look at my son, I thank Lord Almighty for showering his blessings on me and most importantly, for introducing you in my life.

My parents bless you everyday when they see my son and say a special prayer for you every time they bow their heads to the Almighty.

Thank you doctor for being the angel of my life…


… Warm regards, Nishat
