Doug Kramer, Chesca Garcia, Kendra, Scarlett at Gavin Kramer
NAPAKASAKIT at nakapahirap para sa TV host-actress na si Chesca Garcia ang pinagdaanan niya para magkaroon muli ng anak sa pamamagitan ng IVF o in vitro fertilization.
Ilang beses nang sinubukan ni Chesca at ng asawang si Doug Kramer ang magkaroon uli ng baby through IVF pero palagi raw silang nabibigo.
Ayok kay Chesca, ang tatlong beses na failed pregnancies na pinagdaanan niya sa pamamagitan ng IVF ay nagdulot ng matinding sakit sa kanya bilang ina.
“Kasi ako ‘yung nagke-carry eh, because in your mind actually, when they put the embryo you are already pregnant, you are just waiting for it to grow and become a baby talaga.
“So I think it’s very hard for women who are doing IVF and expecting because you have a two-week wait window.
“Doon sa two weeks na ‘yon, you are hoping that your period will not come. Kapag dumating siya ibig sabihin fail siya,” pahayag ng TV host.
Sabi pa ni Chesca, mas masakit daw para sa isang ina ang malamang hindi nagtagumpay ang pagsailalim niya sa IVF dahil sa emosyong kanilang in-invest.
“My last one, my third one, I was really hoping that I was pregnant because I actually missed my period. But when I did the pregnancy (test) I was not pregnant.
“But I already know the gender of my baby and everything. So it’s a very hard journey for anyone who’s doing IVF simply because may wait period. Kapag nag-fail siya, may invested emotions ka kasi,” sabi ng misis ni Doug.
Nang matanong kung game pa rin silang mag-try sa ikaapat na pagkakataon through IVF, “It’s actually what I’m praying for.
“Actually, the last failed one talagang sinabi ko, ‘Lord, if you don’t want us to have a baby anymore please remove the longing and the wanting of having a baby’ because I also want to be obedient to the Lord.”
“Because sometimes things don’t go as planned because He has a good reason for it.
“And I also want to be an obedient daughter and follower, di ba? But still I still have that longing you know but for now I’m going to be setting it aside,” aniya pa.
Inamin din ni Chesca na naapektuhan din ang mga anak nila ni Doug sa naging resulta ng kanyang IVF journey kaya naman talagang super explain sila sa mga bagets.
“Also now that I have my three kids, they are also going through something, they also go through something kasi ‘yung expecting, ‘yung excitement and everything.
“Especially my last one, my son si Gavin, he didn’t want to hug and hold me because he said, ‘I thought I’m gonna be a kuya na.’
“And I said, ‘Gavin, I also want to be pregnant, mommy also wants to be pregnant but you know it’s not for me to tell and you know let’s take this as a way to thank the Lord that He probably is protecting mama also.’
“Tapos niyakap niya ako tapos sabi niya, ‘Sorry mommy I was just really hoping to be a kuya,'” aniya pa.
Matatandaang noong 2019 nang ibalita nina Chesca at Doug ang plano nilang magka-baby uli through IVF, “It’s gonna be a long and complicated process so please keep us in your prayers. We’re doing steps to get pregnant again!
“Getting pregnant almost two straight years with Scarlett and Gavin took a toll with Chesca’s body so we decided to have her ligated.
“But it’s been six years and we did the necessary steps to check if her body is ready and healthy now,” ang pahayag ng Team Kramer sa kanilang Facebook page.
