Words of encouragement
So many of us at Bedi IVF have been through infertility ourselves and can relate to the emotional rollercoaster that is infertility, taking the first steps to treatment, the injections, medications, cycling – and all the sensitivities and stresses involved (all added to the uncertainty of COVID-19).
We are with you – and look forward to resuming treatments very soon.
Be smart about prevention. Use the advised precautions from authorities. Life will return to normal in time and we will get you back on the path to treatment quickly. We will be ready when you are. Our community, long known for its toughness and resiliency – will overcome this.
