Infertility often creates one of the most distressing life crises that a couple has ever experienced together. The long term inability to conceive a child can evoke significant feelings of loss. I have four friends who are facing this problem and all of them are coping with this problem differently.
Amazing post, Punam. Its very difficult to put such issues in words if one has never been through it. Oh btw guys, don’t forget to check out Punam’s homemade talcum powder.
beautifully written..PCOD is one of the main causes for infertility and nowadays, its become a lifestyle condition. I would like to suggest everyone who is reading this to get themselves checked for it(if u have irregular chums:()
I had it and it was tough for me..so many doubts hijacked my mind then..
hmmm…its a good topic to write on!!! many are suffering from it these days.
@shruti lakshman:thanks shruti..i wish we all could make people more aware by talking on such issues..
the only symptom i showed for pcos was hair thinning.. it scares me how it would be few yrs down the line when i want to have a baby.. would my then in-laws n husband be understanding enough..??
don’t worry, everything will be fine 🙂
I never had to worry about this, but a friend of mine did. I read a scientific study a few days back about a mediterranean diet increasing chances of getting pregnant in women undergoing IVF treatment. Might be worth a shot, its a healthy diet so it can’t hurt.
that’s interesting to know 🙂
@agnes: that’s really a good news , i will suggest my friends who are undergoing ifv treatment . thankss
I had trouble having a baby and I took evening primrose oil for two weeks on advice of a friend. I got pregnant the same cycle. Next baby I took it right a way, and got pregnant right away. She is three now!
I’m not saying it’s a quick solution to a big problem. Maybe I had no fertility problems, and just impatience. Maybe give it a try. You never know and it’s cheap. Just make sure to stop using it after ovulation. It might not be good for a developing baby. Do your research on this, under some conditions, you shouldn’t take evening primrose oil.
