Dr. Malpani review - African mother 14 weeks pregnant following IVF
treatment at Malpani Infertility Clinic in Mumbai
To tell the
truth I was never upset or concerned about consumer complaints I read about Dr. Malpani. Even before we
started our IVF treatment with this incredible doctor, I had done my own
research. There are countless amazing Dr. Malpani reviews and I am proud to add my own review to the thousands that
already exist. Here’s my personal story.
We have been struggling to conceive for many years,
and we’ve been through many investigations, treatments and expensive
consultations in the UK. This still resulted in immense financial strain, and
two failed IVFs, which caused a lot of emotional trauma.
At some point we were informed that IVF was not an
option for us, because of my low egg reserves, and that we should seriously
consider egg donation. We struggled to get an egg donor for about a year. The
fact that I am black and my husband is white made it a real challenge,
because we needed a black egg donor.
Our search for an egg donor was recorded in the
database of the UK National Gamete Donation Trust. The feedback we received
from almost all licensed fertility clinics however was that, especially in
the ethnic minority group, there was a shortage of donors. My husband and I
became rather anxious and we decided to start correspondence with donation
services and individuals outside of the UK.
 Our correspondence with institutions abroad
eventually paid off when we managed to get in touch with a Doctor at the
Malpani Infertility Clinic in India. Initially I was a little apprehensive,
but then I decided that a second opinion regarding our infertility problem
couldn’t do any harm. We were amazed that he contacted us the same day!
We had numerous email conversations with Dr. Malpani
and we were very impressed with his approach, openness and honesty. All our
questions were answered and he eventually told us he could help us. We soon
realized that Dr. Malpani is highly professional and certainly a man of
integrity.I asked myself “Could such a compassionate and accomplished doctor
cheat his patients?” I could simply not understand or even believe the Dr. Malpani consumer complaints I
read.
Dr. Malpani continued giving us a clear overview of
his fees, the duration of the treatment and other very important information
about IVF and infertility, which was very helpful and put our minds at ease.
We found even more information on his website www.drmalpani.com.
He also encouraged us to contact our GP to have a
Clomid Challenge test scheduled. With the information derived from the tests,
and my age (45) taken into consideration, we decided to try egg donor IVF.
We were prepared to wait for a few years, but within
a month we could already decide on a date on which to start the treatment,
simultaneously with an anonymous egg donor, which we selected from a list. This
enabled us to choose the donor that best suited our requirements.
Eventually the big day arrived: I was going to
India! Unfortunately my husband could only join me a week later, due to
business commitments. We couldn’t believe that our expenses, even including
the airfare, accommodation and cost of living, were much less than if we
would have tried this IVF procedure in the UK.
We had never visited India before, and because we
required a calm and safe environment to focus on the IVF treatment, we needed
suitable, yet affordable accommodation. Much to our appreciation, Dr. Malpani
even assisted us with that!
India is extremely densely populated, and despite the extreme poverty in this country, the crime rates are very low, in comparison to those in Africa and the UK. The Indian people are very welcoming and humble.
The day after my arrival, after having organized our
accommodation, Dr. Malpani conducted a few examinations and tests and with
the results, formulated a well-defined and concise plan of treatment.
 During my visits to the clinic I was monitored very
closely, to ensure I was responding to the treatment as planned. Thankfully,
the medical facilities such as the scan room and the lab were all situated
there. I was very impressed with the amazingly supportive medical assistants,
nursing staff and Dr. Malpani himself. At some point we had even developed
very close relationships, which was very reassuring. My many questions were
responded to honestly and patiently, time and time again. Dr. Malpani even
told me: “Nozipho, there is no need to worry. You are in very capable hands
and I will do everything I possibly can to make a success of your IVF treatment. As soon as the embryos are transferred into your uterus, however,
everything will be in God’s hands.”
I was closely monitored to record my response to the
treatment, and to ensure the process progressed well. The week before my
husband was scheduled to provide his sperm, we had a bit of time to do some
sightseeing in Mumbai and explore some beautiful places.
Meanwhile, the Malpani clinic had done the appropriate screening of my egg
donor. She produced and provided ten embryos. Of those ten, the best three
would be utilized.On the day the transfer procedure was scheduled, Dr. Malpani and the embryologist allowed us to have a look at the donated
embryos, which looked exactly like the many embryos I had been looking at in
all the IVF books I had read.
Thankfully the actual transfer procedure was
completely painless, and within a few minutes, Dr. Aniruddha Malpani had
successfully transferred the embryos into my uterus.
I stayed at the clinic for approximately two hours
after the procedure. Thereafter I returned to the hotel for a calm three-day
rest in bed. Then, finally we were able to fly back home!
The fourteen days of nerve-wrecking waiting after
the treatment were terrible. It was almost impossible to be patient!
Eventually the big day arrived: I went to see my doctor for a pregnancy test.
What he told me was everything I had been wanting to hear for so many years:
I was pregnant!!!! The doctor
congratulated me as I cried and cried. Only one of the three embryos
implanted, but I was very grateful.I cannot tell you how happy my husband was
when he heard the fantastic news!
The days that followed I felt like I was in a haze…
the pregnancy miracle took a while to really sink in. I still tested my urine
on a daily basis! I have kept all the pregnancy strips as a beautiful
reminder.
I am now in the second trimester of my pregnancy,
and my eyes fill with tears at the sight of the scans which show my beautiful
baby lying peacefully in my uterus.
I am forever grateful to Dr. Aniruddha and Anjali
Malpani and their team for doing such an incredible job and making such an
amazing miracle happen. If only I had known about the Malpani Infertility Clinic earlier… At the same time I am convinced that God sent Dr. Malpani our
way, exactly at the right time, and for a very special reason.
I have been thinking about my anonymous egg donor a lot as well.
I will always be thankful for her and the precious gift she gave me: the
incredible chance to finally become a mother.
I am also very grateful that I will not have any obligations to explain
to my child that I am not the biological mother. This certainly would have been
different should the treatment have taken place in the UK.
