New Delhi: Menopause is no barrier to motherhood anymore. Not long ago, a Delhi woman Chameli Meena at 63 gave birth to her bundle of joy, thanks to Delhi IVF Centre. But she is not alone. She is the umpteenth menopausal woman to venture for artificial birthing. This centre claims to have single handed facilitated over 3000 menopausal maternity so far.
Talking to Medicare News, Dr. Anoop Gupta, Director, Delhi IVF Centre, says, ‘Mrs Chameli’s is not a freak success. It is one example of by now a well established line of treatment. My centre alone has over 3000 post menopausal mothers in its assisted birthing basket. Of course, the success chiefly depends on the quality of the centre and its team.’
Mrs. Chameli’s case well exemplifies how advanced IVF has become. Jagdish Prasad Meena (65), a retired BSNL official, lost his son 31 year old Sonu. After his death in doubtful circumstances, the couple was over powered by yearning for a baby to fill the void left by his son’s demise. To make the long story short, they got a baby son through IVF (taste tube baby technique). And, lo and behold! The little bundle of joy is a look alike of his deceased son. The couple residing in Shakarpur is indulging him as their most precious find.
