After hearing of this traditional treatment method and finding good reviews, we decided to try it out. There were many reasons for this choice. Firstly, having made the decision to not ever try IVF or ICSI or anything of that sort again, one felt like the road ended abruptly at a dead end. So, even though we had started seriously looking into adoption, a desire for a biological baby somehow strengthened, if that makes sense.

Our treatment experience was as follows. We went to the clinic about 5 months after the termination fo the previous pregnancy. Once there, we had a discussion around our history, the both of us with Dr. Nishikanth. He described the way the medications were to be taken and handed us our medicines. The charges were very nominal, a pittance if you think of what was spent in the previous infertility treatments. After coming back to Bangalore, we waited for the next menstrual cycle. Subsequently, the first phase of treatment started. This involves the woman eating a very strict diet and having a mix of a kashayam and a medicine (oil) and not taking a bath for about a week. The effect of the medicine is to result in frequent watery bowel movements. This process is not easy and it really helps to have someone at home to help because the lady may feel a bit dehydrated and weak. For us, the diet was the hardest part. The rest we managed quite ok. After the first 7 days and a short gap, the next phase started. This time, medication if for both the man and woman. Again, there are dietary restrictions, though relatively more relaxed. Bathing is permitted at specified times. After another 7-9 days of this regimen, the woman stops medication. For the man, there is a powder (felt like some kind of powdered nut, no taste), which is to be mixed with milk and had before going to bed each night. The doctor said that a pregnancy can be expected any month after this first phase of treatment.
Following this, the menstrual cycle is an off cycle for the woman. No medication. From the following cycle, there is a few days of medication and diet at the time of each menstrual cycle. For - xfor the man, the powder and milk along with some restrictions (no drinking, smoking, no non-veg, plenty of water) continues. In our case, we got lucky. We found ourselves pregnant right after the first month's treatment and did not have to move to the second phase.
Today, as we sit with out beautiful baby in our arms, many, many thanks are due to this treatment, family and all our respective families and well wishers. If you are also a couple dealing with infertility, reading this, our sincere best wishes, no matter which approach you choose.to become parents..
