As a fertility specialist in Hyderabad, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside hundreds of couples in their most vulnerable and hopeful moments. While every patient teaches me something, there are some stories that stay etched in my heart — stories that changed the way I practice, the way I listen, and the way I connect.

One couple I’ll never forget came to me after six failed IUI cycles. They had been trying to conceive for nearly a decade, moving from one clinic to another, slowly losing hope. We decided to proceed with IVF. During stimulation, we retrieved a good number of eggs — but what shocked us was the quality of the embryos. Out of many, we had only one good embryo.

That one embryo changed everything.

It implanted successfully, and they went on to have a healthy baby. It reminded me that sometimes, one is enough. One good embryo, one brave decision, one moment of trust — that’s all it takes to change a life. As I always tell my patients, "Don’t give up. It may take time, but your miracle could be just one cycle away."

Another case that moved me deeply was a woman in her early 30s who had experienced recurrent pregnancy loss. She had conceived naturally twice, but both pregnancies ended before 10 weeks. The emotional toll was heavy. She came in not just with questions — but with pain.

We ran a thorough evaluation — genetic testing, autoimmune screening, ultrasound, karyotyping, even sperm DNA fragmentation analysis for her partner. We eventually discovered a septate uterus, a structural issue we could surgically correct. After a hysteroscopic septal resection, she conceived again — and this time, she made it past the dreaded weeks. I remember the joy in her voice when she called after the second trimester scan. I think I cried with her that day.

These are the patients who changed me.

They reminded me that fertility care is not just about protocols and procedures. It’s about listening with empathy, acting with precision, and walking the journey together.

I also remember a young couple who came in saying, “We’ve been told nothing is wrong. But it’s just not happening.” Their case was categorized as unexplained infertility — one of the most frustrating diagnoses. We tried IUI — twice — and then moved to IVF. That’s when we discovered egg quality issues. The IVF cycle gave us insights we would have never had otherwise.

And yet, with just a single healthy embryo, we found success. Again — one was enough.

These stories keep me grounded. They remind me why I chose this path. At Rainbow Hospitals, I see science, hope, and humanity intersect every day. Being a fertility doctor in Hyderabad is more than a job — it’s a responsibility, a privilege, and sometimes, a spiritual experience.

So yes, some patients stay with me forever. They’ve changed not just how I practice medicine — but how I see life.
