My Beautiful Daughter, Hilal
Sevim Beşiktaş – May 2008
I got married at a very early age and wanted to make my marriage happier with a baby.It was our fourth year of our marriage and I was having difficulties getting pregnant.I thought the cause was my cysts, so I had them removed through an operation.After this operation, hoping everything would work out all right, I again tried to get pregnant but things did not go as planned.
After waiting for eight years I finally decided to go to another doctor.Following several tests, I was told thatmy tubes were blocked, I could not get pregnant naturally and that the IVF method was the only way.I was desperate and sad.We could not afford IVF treatment.As I thought I would never have a baby, I felt as though I had hit rock bottom.There were times when I could not bear the view of people with children.I was blaming myself and gradually losing hope.On Mother’s Day I did not want to leave the bedroom.I was especially depressed at not being able to share such a happiness with my husband. I was so desperate that I tried every remedy in addition to what my doctors were recommending.There was nothing that I wouldn’t eat or drink in the hopes that it would work.
Later on, I decided to go to a doctor once more.I went to the German Hospital, which I heard had great success with IVF treatments in Turkey.Our first attemptwas unfortunately unsuccessful.The reason was because I had a myoma.Dr. Halit Fırat Erden removed the myoma and encouraged me to undergo IVF treatment once more, saying that we now had a higher chance.It turned out he was right.Our second attempt resulted in a very lovely daughter.I had a hard pregnancy period but I did not lose heart since I had already overcome the greatest hardship.
During the pregnancy, I was diagnosed with a high glucose level.However, as I said before, we had overcome the greatest hardship.All I had to do was follow the diet and exercise schedule that Dr. Murat Berksoy gave me.I took walks regularly.I was walking almost one hour, three times a day. Dr. Murat Berksoy never stopped assisting me.I am now very happy.My beautiful daughter, Hilal, was born thanks to their efforts and never-ending assistance.I wholeheartedly thank Drs. Halit Fırat Erden and Murat Berksoy
