IVF Success Story: Twins After Multiple Failures

The couple's background

Rajeev ji and Sushila ji had been married for over 11 years. Like many couples in Bihar, they had tried natural conception first, then moved on to visiting several fertility clinics — but nothing worked. Every clinic gave them a different explanation and a different treatment, without a clear diagnosis of what was actually preventing pregnancy. By June 2020, having invested a lot of time, money and emotion into treatments that didn't succeed, they wanted one thing: an honest evaluation from a specialist who would take the time to figure out the real problem.

First visit — June 2020

The couple came to Diwya Vatsalya Mamta Fertility Centre in Patliputra Colony, Patna. On their first consultation, Dr. Rashmi Prasad reviewed Sushila ji's history in detail — irregular cycles, weight-related concerns and known PCOS were already on record. But rather than starting treatment based on assumptions, the couple was put through a thorough workup to identify every factor that could be involved.

What the investigations revealed

Two combined conditions came out clearly:

• PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) — a hormonal condition that makes ovulation irregular or absent, which is itself a leading cause of infertility. When ovulation doesn't happen predictably, natural conception and simpler treatments like IUI often don't succeed.
• Hydrosalpinx — a fluid-filled, blocked fallopian tube. This does two harmful things at once: it prevents sperm and egg from meeting through the tube, and the fluid inside the tube can leak back into the uterus and interfere with embryo implantation, which is why earlier IVF-style attempts elsewhere may not have worked.

Together these two findings explained why earlier treatments had failed — the anatomy simply did not allow natural conception, and untreated hydrosalpinx would keep sabotaging any embryo transfer.

Why IVF was the right choice for them

With hydrosalpinx blocking the fallopian tube and PCOS disrupting ovulation, the fastest and most reliable route was IVF (In-Vitro Fertilisation) — where the tube is bypassed entirely, fertilisation happens outside the body in the embryology lab, and the embryo is placed directly into the uterus. Dr. Rashmi Prasad walked both husband and wife through the complete IVF procedure — the diagnosis, the hydrosalpinx management, the ovulation-induction plan built around the PCOS, the do's and don'ts, the timeline, the cost, and a realistic view of what to expect. Once they understood the full picture, they agreed to move forward.

The treatment path

• Hydrosalpinx management — the blocked, fluid-filled tube was addressed first so it would not sabotage the embryo transfer, a critical step that earlier clinics had missed.
• Ovulation induction (PCOS-tuned) — controlled hormonal stimulation over 10–12 days, monitored closely so the response was strong but safe.
• Egg retrieval — a short procedure under light sedation to collect the mature eggs. Same-day discharge.
• Fertilisation in the embryology lab — eggs and sperm brought together under lab conditions, allowing embryos to form.
• Embryo transfer — a healthy embryo placed gently into the uterus.
• Pregnancy confirmation & twins — after the two-week wait, the pregnancy test was positive, and Sushila ji went on to deliver healthy twins — the outcome the couple had almost stopped believing was possible.

Final words from the new parents

Dr. Rashmi Prasad came as a God in our lives and helped us complete our family. We are very happy that we visited Diwya Vatsalya Mamta Fertility Centre and consulted her. It is she who guided us correctly and coordinated with us from time to time and described the complete procedure, and mentioned to us the do's and dont's that we need to follow. It is all because of the entire team who worked in synchronization to carry out the entire process smoothly.
