Acupuncture,
Ayurveda, and IVF, among other things, had been explored by the actress to
prepare for parenting. Debina recently spoke about her five-year search, the
patience she needed to keep, the cost of IVF therapy, and finally her success.
On

In
her most recent Vlog on her YouTube channel, Debina Decodes, Debina Banerjee
discussed her successful IVF journey to parenthood and how much it cost her.
She revealed that she started her journey to become a mother in 2017 and that
it took her five years to go from fantasizing about being a mother to seeing a
doctor and then conceiving Lianna. She went on to tell that she had tried the
IUI procedure five times before and failed each time.
As a result, she was left with only one option: in vitro fertilization (IVF). "I started seeing a therapist in 2017," she explained. At initially, doctors suggested IUI. It is a procedure with a low level of invasiveness. The fertile days are calculated, and the results are used to provide a few injections. The sperm of the husband is also tested. It didn't work for me for some reason. I tried five times. It was a complete disaster. "The next best option was IVF."
During
the IVF procedure, however, she learned she had endometriosis and adenomyosis,
which meant her uterus was locked and the physicians had to fix it with that
operation. Physicians had to conduct a hysteroscopy on her, which cost her
between Rs 75,000 and Rs 1 lakh, according to the actress. Debina then
disclosed that she has started her IVF therapy. Debina further revealed that
she had to repeat the procedure three times, each time costing Rs. 1.5 lakhs.
"She continued," she said.
The
technique is divided into two phases after starting IVF: egg extraction and
re-implantation of the fertilised egg. The first step is both unpleasant and
time-consuming. The egg extraction process takes a long time.
It
is impossible to collect all of the eggs at the same time. My procedure was
carried out three times. The cost of each surgery is projected to be around Rs
1.5 lakh." Debina's complete conception procedure cost her roughly Rs. 6
lakhs as a consequence.
