72 year old woman delivered healthy baby boy after 46 years of her marriage

72 year old woman delivered healthy baby boy after 46 years of her marriage. Kaur’s medical reports normal and she is fit to conceive.

Seventy twoyear old Daljinder Kaur delivered a healthy baby boy, Arman Singh after her marriage and about 20 years after her menopause.

72 year old woman delivered healthy baby boy after 46 years of her marriage.

Desperate to a child, Kaur’s wish fulfilled through the in-vitro fertilisation (IVF-test tube) technique.

Wherein the eggs and sperm fertilised outside the womb, in a test tube.

Kaur’s 79-year-old husband, Mohinder Singh Gill, had been travelling with her.

From Amritsar in Punjab to Hisar in Haryana since 2013 to ensure the success of the treatment.

After two failed IVF cycles, Kaur finally conceived in July last year.

“The woman came to me alone first in 2013, after reading about us in a paper.

Said Dr Anurag Bishnoi, embryologist and owner of the National Fertility and Test Tube Baby Centre in Hisar.

This is the second case at the centre where a 70-year-old woman has delivered successfully through IVF.

The first case was of 70-yearold Rajo Devi in 2006, who had given birth to a baby girl.
In 2008, a 66-year-old woman had given birth to triplets — two boys and a girl, at the centre.

“Our track record in handling IVF in older women fairly good, but not everyone is fit to conceive.

In her case, she looked visibly frail too, so I had to refer her to a cardiologist to get clearance for the procedure.

And a battery of other tests to ascertain fitness levels,” said Dr Bishnoi.

Kaur’s medical reports normal and she fit to conceive.

“We started work within two months in 2013 but the first attempt failed, which is normal.

After six months, another attempt made and that also didn’t succeed. Finally, the third attempt  successful,” he said.

As for the cause of infertility, doctors say it was most likely due to tubal blocks.

“Her fallopian tubes blocked and no attempt made to detect the cause when she menstruating.

The husband blames it on a lack of awareness and a family feud that was on for years because of which they didn’ t get time to see a doctor.

“It  embarrassing to not be able to produce a child, no doubt, but busy with litigation all our life and hardly had time to think it over,” he said.

“After we  a little free a few years ago, we thought of trying for a baby.

The newspaper article spotted at an opportune moment, I’d say,” said Gill, a farmer and now a proud father.
