From PCOS, Thyroid & Failed IUI to Motherhood – Harshita’s Gynoveda Story

Harshita got married in 2018, but even before marriage, she struggled with PCOS. To regulate her irregular periods, she turned to homeopathy and continued taking prescribed pills both before and after marriage. In 2019, she was diagnosed with thyroid issues and started allopathic medications for it. However, during the lockdown, her periods became even more irregular.

In 2020, Harshita and her husband decided to start planning for a baby. Unfortunately, due to her persistent PCOS and thyroid complications, she couldn’t conceive. She consulted numerous doctors, traveled to Pune for treatment at a homeopathy infertility clinic, and underwent 3-4 rounds of follicular studies. She even consulted a gynecologist in Gujarat and sought help from Cloudnine Hospital in Mumbai. Despite all efforts, including one failed IUI cycle, she saw no progress.

The treatments took a toll on her. The IUI center prescribed birth control pills when she developed cysts from the medications and injections. As her body did not respond to standard IUI injections, they resorted to IVF injections, which led Harshita to reconsider these treatments. The continuous cycle of heavy injections, repeated follicular studies, and mounting stress became too much. Amid all this, her mother-in-law doubted her ability to conceive, attributing it to her irregular periods, while her husband remained her unwavering support.

During one of her many online searches for alternative fertility solutions, Harshita discovered Gynoveda. Encouraged by the positive reviews, she felt a gut instinct that Gynoveda might be the answer she was looking for. Although her in-laws preferred IVF, Harshita and her husband chose not to pursue it, especially after her unpleasant experiences with IUI. The countless injections, mood swings, and failed attempts had drained her both mentally and financially. Harshita was wary of the side effects associated with IVF and wanted a more natural approach.

She initially reached out to Gynoveda via WhatsApp and was advised to start the Jeehv and Iron Folic tablets. Soon after, she heard about the opening of the Gynoveda Clinic in Mumbai. There, she consulted Dr. Aarati Patil, who confidently assured her that she would conceive within six months. Harshita recalls, “When a doctor gives you hope, that’s all a couple truly wants to hear. All the doctors we had seen before would leave us feeling discouraged, but at Gynoveda, we left with positivity and hope. That positivity, combined with the right treatment, is so crucial for following through with dedication.”

Unlike her previous treatments, Gynoveda gave her the mental satisfaction she needed. She continued her yoga routine alongside the Ayurvedic medicines, although she found it challenging to follow a strict diet. Given her past experiences with follicular studies, she chose not to track her ovulation, avoiding the anxiety of seeing negative results again.

Finally, the day they had long awaited arrived. On September 21, 2024, Harshita and her husband welcomed their baby boy, Laksh, into the world. Their journey was a testament to resilience, patience, and the right support system.
