Hi, I’m Krutika and today’s conversation is with Anika.
This journey is deeply personal, full of emotions and one I resonate with because it’s a journey I too have traversed.
Up until today I’ve never shared this part of my journey so publicly and I’m somewhat nervous about some of the revelations that are to come through this episode. But Anika’s courage and her willingness to be so raw and open gave me the space to do the same.
This conversation, however, is not about me…It’s about the remarkably strong, courageous and resilient human being that is Anika and her decade long struggle to become a parent which sadly has not happen. Her journey is a stark reminder of the women in society who silently suffer, endure and stand on the periphery of something that is meant to be a biological certainty.
From an ectopic pregnancy to unexplained infertility, rounds of unsuccessful IVF concluded by a hysterectomy (a surgical procedure to remove the womb) Anika has endured set-back after set-back yet, on each occasion she has rebuilt herself and is finally embracing a life where she has chosen to flourish without limits.
This conversation is a reminder to be kind, to be compassionate and understanding of those around you, because you never really know what someone is going through!
