Sambhavna Seth, the wife of actor-writer Avinash Dwivedi, is undergoing unsuccessful IVF (in vitro fertilisation) treatments. He confesses that he feels helpless when he watches her going through the same process.

“We have faced a lot of challenges in conceiving. When we got married, we didn’t think of becoming parents at that time, because we didn’t think we were ready then. There was a lot of pressure from our family even then. But we felt that the decision should come from within us; otherwise there is no point to it,” says Dwivedi, 33, who married Seth in 2016.

The Kakuda writer adds, “When we finally got ready to have a baby, we had trouble conceiving. So, we started trying with IVF. I have seen that it is a very painful process, especially when it fails. It has helped a lot of couples, but watching Sambhavna go through this again and again breaks my heart.”

He elaborates on the difficulties, revealing that Seth, 41, has “endured a lot during the process — mentally, emotionally, and even financially, as IVF is quite exhausting”.

Here, he reveals that his wife made the decision to keep attempting IVF and that she is adamant about going through the procedure repeatedly. “Her body goes through so many changes as well as mood shifts. Her normal life goes for a toss in that one month (of the IVF cycle). But she is determined to try it again and again,” he asserts

Also recently, Sambhavna Seth shared details about her health in a YouTube video. The actress admitted that she had rheumatoid arthritis in the past, but it has returned. She claimed it was all the result of her unsuccessful IVF treatments and the drugs she was prescribed. Sambhavna has been honest about the negative effects of her IVF therapy in the past, not just this one instance.

Her rheumatoid arthritis has returned, according to Sambhavna. She said that all of these problems started to arise after her IVF operation. The actress said that her hands and feet get sore or bloated if she spends too much time outside in the cold.

Despite her best efforts to maintain her optimism, Sambhavna claims that she finds it difficult to battle these bodily problems and that she feels helpless. She stated that she is currently discussing the possibility of combining her current drugs with the new ones with her gynaecologist. As she talked about the weight gain brought on by the potent medication, she too started crying.
