Miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, repeated IVF: this Montpellier woman went through an obstacle course to give birth

Un parcours parfois difficile pour donner la vie. Midi Libre – SYLVIE CAMBON

Suffering from polycystic syndrome, this young Montpellier woman testifies before the open days on Saturday January 13 of the medically assisted procreation center at the Saint-Roch clinic. Doctor Nicolas Chevalier will give a conference on the subject.

Certainly, it is thanks to the science of men. But what a twist of fate this birth was (last September) in the home of Cindy Castex. When the young woman finally gave life to Eva, whose first name, it's not inventable, means to give life. Either the happy conclusion of a very long journey where the chaotic competed with the uncertain. All mixed with pain. Physical and psychological.

Miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy

"After stopping normal contraception in 2017, we discovered in 2019 that I had polycystic syndrome. For two years, I suffered miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy,” says the young mother. Once the pathology was established, she then began a first in vitro fertilization (IVF) "which did not work. In 2021, we moved from Toulouse to Montpellier. The second IVF gave better results,” she continues. Alas, the process will not succeed.

The twins' hearts have stopped beating

Followed by a "bio-clinical pregnancy then an exploratory laparoscopy, a new IVF which gave nothing, then another called IVF 3 bis". Which produced   "numerous embryos". But once again, fate prevailed and the hearts of the expected twins stopped beating. Finally, a new transfer took place last February with the birth of his daughter as a corollary. Beyond this very personal fight, Cindy Castex is full of praise for the PMA center. "They were very professional, attentive, they understood our fears. We are not just a file number and that helps a lot. Afterwards, this journey was our strength.
