“Since the birth of my second daughter Florencia, my husband and I knew that we wanted to be parents again, it was our dream that the third or third would arrive. We got on the campaign trail for that, but unlike the previous times, it wasn’t that easy. We tried naturally, but when time began to pass, we asked for help. In the end We spent ten years trying to get pregnant and went through different treatments like in vitro fertilization and intrauterine insemination, but none of them worked for us. It was an overwhelming experience, because since I had already experienced motherhood and in this case we were looking for a third child; He questioned me and filled me with guilt.
A friend recommended that I visit a reproductive medicine center that she knew. I was staying at the Ciudad del Mar Clinic. I remember that I got there a little depressed after all the previous experience, but my desire to be a mother again made me feel confident again. The doctor checked me out and ordered tests, and After several studies they determined that what he had was uterine isthmocele, a defect in the healing of the uterus resulting from a previous cesarean section. In simple words, it is a hernia that prevents the union of the sperm with the ovum because it alters the path of the sperm. The solution was surgery to remove the cesarean scar and resuture it.
As soon as it was possible, I entered the pavilion and thank God everything went well. In a short time I had normal periods again and in the third month, I became pregnant naturally. When we found out, we couldn’t believe it. We had a thousand emotions and we wanted to scream with happiness, I remember that moment with great joy, which brought us peace and tranquility. Being a mom again after so long has been a wonderful experience; having my son in my arms has been like living a dream, with new routines and diversions that I looked forward to. For me, having this ‘conchito’ was a dream and thanks to the fact that the doctors arrived at the correct diagnosis, I was able to specify it. Today I can only give thanks to life ”.
