Becoming a parent might be an easy task, as some couples conceive a child within a few months of their marriage. However, for a couple like Bhuma Subba and Bhim Parsad Limbu, it might come after a long wait of 9 years. The problem might be compounded if the couple is a bit aged.
Bhuma Subba and Bhim Prasad Limba live in Biratnagar, Nepal. They had been married for 9 years but were unable to conceive. They consulted a doctor in their neighbourhood and found out that Bhuma had a complication with her menstrual cycle. She had seen her mother go through menopause very early and feared that she might also be witnessing the same situation soon. But her main issue was that she hadn't experienced motherhood till now. Facing a problem with her menstrual cycle and a genetic background of early menopause, conceiving a child was a dream that looked far-fetched.
The couple came for IVF treatment at NewLife Fertility Center in early 2024. They consulted Dr. Prasenjit Kr. Roy. Bhuma shared all her concerns with the doctor, who allayed her suspicions by stating that even women with PCOS and extremely irregular periods also become pregnant. Additionally, the doctor advised her that her periods are regular and that she won’t have any issues with conception. To bolster his explanation, Dr. Roy also narrated to her the stories of previous patients, saying that only a period delay doesn’t affect the success rate. However, due to inexplicable circumstances, Bhuma did not continue her treatment.
After one year, with Bhim's support and a perpetual desire to become a mother, Bhuma returned to NewLife Fertility Centre after a year. 4 months into the treatment, to Bhuma's utter shock, she was diagnosed with a tumor and Fibroids in the uterus. This shattered the hopes of the couple to become parents. With unyielding determination, the couple went ahead with the treatment of the tumor and fibroids. Dr. Prasenjit Kr. Roy consoled Bhuma and asked her to visit the centre after her menstrual cycle starts again. Bhuma complied and visited Dr. Roy 3-4 days after the onset of her menses.
After such a long time, with so many uncertainties about her genetics and her age, battling tumor and fibroids, Bhuma and Bhim finally came across the news they had been waiting for. Bhuma was finally pregnant; Bhim was ecstatic; time stopped for a moment. For a couple who had been enduring such ups and downs, keeping themselves optimistic for the past 9 years, envisioning a pair of tiny hands, this moment knew no bounds.
