13 Years Of Marriage, 5 Years of IVF, and finally a ray of hope For some couples, parenthood begins just months after marriage. Those tiny feet running around the house, cooing, eating one thing a lot and not eating another thing even once. Grandparents visiting the baby, neighbours getting toys and balloons, and relatives giving utilitarian baby stuff, But for Tapas Kumar Roy and Sonamoni Roy, however, the journey to parenthood took much longer.
For Tapas Kumar Roy and Sonamoni Roy, the path to starting a family was marked by 13 years of waiting, hope, and perseverance. The couple belongs to Bangladesh and has been married for 13 years. After 8 years, when they could not conceive, the couple decided to go for IVF treatment in Bangladesh itself. However, even after 5 years, the couple had not achieved a successful pregnancy.
Disheartened and mentally tired after such a long treatment stint, the couple decided to look beyond international borders. Tapas and Sonamoni did some research and asked their family and friends living in Siliguri for the best Fertility Centre in Siliguri. Almost everyone suggested NewLife Fertility Centre to them. However, coming to Siliguri from Bangladesh would add another layer to their ordeal. But they were ready to take this step.
After coming to NewLife Fertility Center in 2023, they underwent a preliminary medical checkup under the expert guidance of Dr. Prasenjit Kr. Roy. Thereafter, a detailed fertility assessment assessment was conducted to find the root cause of the problem. The best aspect of NewLife was that instead of focusing on how long they had been trying, the medical team focused on the complete fertility profile. This helped the couple understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach in fertility treatment. Every couple needs a personalized approach.
Once the treatment started, the couple started having flashbacks of the anxiety and emotional stress that they went through in the last five years. Every cycle was an ordeal; every embryo transfer was a hope turned into despair. However, the couple kept pushing themselves, followed the doctor’s advice, completed the recommended checkups, and remained committed to the treatment process.
Finally, after 5 years, the moment they had been waiting for - Sonamoni Roy was pregnant. Tapas was ecstatic, and Sonamoni was emotional. Her dream of becoming a mother was finally close. Under Dr. Prasenjit Kr. Roy’s expert fertility treatment, Sonamoni and Tapas experienced the moment for which they fought so hard, both mentally and physically.
You can hear Tapas and Sonamoni share their journey and experiences in their own words in the video below.
When asked about her experience with Dr. Prasenjit Kr. Roy, Sonamoni spoke warmly about his care and guidance throughout their treatment. The couple described that his words gave them satisfaction during the entire treatment journey. While recounting the experience, Sonamoni gets emotional. Sonamoni is now 12 weeks pregnant. They are following the doctor's advice religiously and going for regular follow-ups.
Every Fertility Journey is Discrete
Every fertility journey is different. However, what's similar is seeking the right guidance, understanding the underlying factors, and staying optimistic throughout the process. This is exactly what Sonamoni and Tapas followed.
After 13 years of marriage and five years of trying, their road to parenthood is a reminder that sometimes this journey can be arduous, full of challenges, and may take longer than expected.
