As a mother of one child, I had always dreamt of expanding our family. My husband and I cherished the idea of another child, a little one to complete our already beautiful circle of love. But life had other plans. The journey to parenthood, which had once been so joyful, became a long road of heartbreak and resilience. Now, as I cradle my healthy baby girl, I want to share my story to inspire hope in others and express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Koita, whose care turned our dream into reality.
A Painful Journey
At 43 years old, I knew conceiving would probably have its challenges. But I was hopeful, optimistic even, especially when we fell pregnant so easily.
That optimism was shattered by two devastating miscarriages. Whilst my second pregnancy lasted longer, each loss brought overwhelming grief and the lingering question of why this was happening. Was it my age? Was it something we had overlooked?
When I sought medical advice, I was met with discouragement. Many doctors simply told me my age was the issue and refused to pursue further treatment. One even suggested we try donor eggs but I didn’t want to pursue that option. Their words hurt, but I wasn’t ready to give up. I felt deep in my heart that there had to be another way—something we were missing.
Finding Dr. Koita: A Beacon of Hope
Through more research, I came across Dr. Irfana Koita at IVF Matters. From the moment I reached out to her practice, and met with her, I felt a sense of compassion and understanding that had been sorely lacking in my previous experiences. Dr. Koita didn’t dismiss me because of my age. Instead, she approached my case with thoroughness, care, and a willingness to look deeper into what might be causing my miscarriages.
She and her team conducted a comprehensive review of my medical history, tested both my husband and me, and utilised an endometrial scan that finally revealed the root of the problem: two polyps in my uterus. These small growths had been hindering my pregnancies, but no one had thought to check for them before.
Dr. Koita explained everything with such clarity and reassurance that I felt empowered for the first time in years. We developed a treatment plan together, removing the polyps and preparing my body for another pregnancy.
A Supportive First Trimester
When I finally conceived again after six short months, I was overjoyed but understandably anxious. Miscarriages leave an emotional scar that makes it hard to fully embrace hope.
Dr. Koita and her team didn’t just treat me medically; they supported me emotionally, too and that made such a huge difference to my emotional wellbeing and I just know it helped me succeed with my pregnancy too. Through check-ins, detailed monitoring, advice and constant reassurance, Dr Koita helped me navigate the crucial first trimester with confidence.
Every step of the way, I knew I wasn’t alone and that was so important for me. Dr. Koita was my lifeline, ensuring both my baby and I were healthy and cared for.
A Miracle Arrival
Nine months later, at 46 years old, I gave birth to a healthy, beautiful baby girl. She is everything we prayed for and more. The love and joy she has brought into our lives are beyond words. My husband and I often look at her and our children playing together and marvel at how close we came to giving up hope. We feel truly blessed, and our family now feels complete.
Gratitude and Recommendation
I can’t thank Dr. Koita enough for her dedication, compassion, and expertise. She gave me not just a child but also the gift of hope when I thought all doors had closed. Her approach to treating the whole person, not just the condition, made all the difference.
For anyone facing similar challenges, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Koita. Her commitment to finding solutions, no matter how complex the case, is unmatched. If you’re struggling and feel like you’ve exhausted all options, don’t lose hope. There are doctors out there like Dr. Koita who will fight for your dreams just as hard as you do.
Today, as I hold my daughter in my arms, I am reminded that miracles do happen. Sometimes, all it takes is the right person to help make them come true.
