For Lata (name changed), the dream of motherhood felt increasingly distant after six years of marriage and two unsuccessful IVF attempts using donor eggs. Her determination was unwavering, but she faced significant medical hurdles along the way. A diagnosis of adenomyosis—a condition where endometrial tissue grows into the muscular wall of the uterus—complicated her journey to motherhood, often leading to infertility.
Adenomyosis disrupts normal uterine function, resulting in symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, severe cramping, and creating an inhospitable environment for embryo implantation. While women in their 30s and 40s are particularly susceptible to this condition, many, like Lata, remain unaware of it until they encounter fertility issues.
This condition is frequently associated with prior uterine surgeries, including C-sections, as well as endometriosis. With Lata’s diagnosis confirmed, Dr. Rakhi Goyal, a prominent fertility specialist at Birla Fertility & IVF in Chandigarh, took a meticulous approach to her treatment. Initial scans revealed a slight indentation in Lata’s uterine cavity, which explained why her earlier IVF attempts had resulted in biochemical pregnancies—instances where embryos failed to implant fully.
Dr. Goyal’s first objective was to address the adenomyosis. Lata received hormonal treatment designed to shrink the affected area and enhance the uterine environment. Once her condition was stabilized, the focus shifted to the embryo transfer process.
“Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) using donor eggs provided Lata with her best chance for success,” Dr. Goyal stated. To further increase the odds of implantation, the medical team employed laser-assisted hatching to aid the embryo in breaking through its protective shell and attaching to the uterine wall. They also utilized embryo glue, a specialized medium aimed at improving the embryo’s attachment to the uterus.
Lata’s resilience, coupled with the advanced and personalized care at Birla Fertility & IVF, culminated in a positive BHCG test—the confirmation she had yearned for. Lata was pregnant, a long-cherished dream realized after years of hardship. Now well into her pregnancy, she continues to receive regular antenatal care, with both mother and baby thriving.
