Sambhavna and Avinash’s struggle to have a child

Sambhavna and Avinash have been married for over 10 years. Over the years, the couple have openly spoken about their struggles to start a family and their journey toward parenthood. Through their vlogs and social media updates, they have shared their experiences, challenges, and emotions, inspiring many who have faced similar situations.

Sambhavna has been candid about her long and difficult fertility journey. Speaking about her experience in an interview with Hautterfly, she detailed the emotional and physical toll of trying to conceive. She had undergone several IVF cycles, all failed with several miscarriages.

“I've gone through miscarriages and then reached here. I've had miscarriages; I've attempted 7 IVFs over all these years. Even before we got married, I had my eggs frozen,'' she shared.

Sambhavna opens up on how her surrogacy journey happened

In her vlog, Sambhavna shared how and why they opted for surrogacy as she shared the legal process and who is allowed to do it in India. She has shared that couples who have undergone multiple IVF cycles, faced repeated miscarriages, and have been unable to conceive despite trying again and again are the ones who are allowed to do the this procedure.

Surrogacy is not approved directly by your doctor. Instead, it requires court approval. You have to submit all medical records of failed attempts to the court, and they decide whether you are eligible. If approved, all required medical tests are conducted at a government hospital through the court’s process. She revealed that she had to stand in line to undergo these tests. After that, you are called to court to meet the judge. The court takes time to verify if all the documents are legitimate and if the couple meets the eligibility criteria. There has been extensive documentation required throughout the process.
