Actress and Bigg Boss 2 contestant Sambhavna Seth has opened up about the emotional trauma she went through after an IVF miscarriage in December last year. Speaking to Gauahar Khan on her podcast MaaaNoranjan, Sambhavna shared that despite experiencing frequent bleeding during her first trimester, her doctor kept reassuring her that everything was fine.
“We were so excited… The next day was the announcement. Sirf ek scan tha, uske pehle mere 2–3 scan ho gaye the, bleeding kaafi baar ho gaye the and all fine tha. Jab main scan tha humko pata tha ki sab theek hoga,” she recalled. “Doctors ne bataya hi nahi ki IVF mein bohot saare bleeding hoti hai. Ek raat mein khadi hui aur mein zor se Avinash chillaayi. Meine dekha ki baalti nikal rahi thi blood ki. Maina kaha it's gone cause pata hi nahi tha. The next day, scan karaya, and everything was okay.”
Sambhavna further shared that 15 days before the miscarriage was confirmed, she had complained of feeling unwell. “I informed my doctor, but he told me it was an arthritis issue. However, my arthritis specialist disagreed and told me it was a sign of a miscarriage,” she said.
She also stressed the importance of Pre-Genetic Testing (PGT) in IVF. Despite repeatedly requesting the test before embryo transfer, her doctor declined. Eventually, it was found that the embryo was genetically abnormal and had stopped growing from the neck.
Recounting the moment of confirmation, she said, “When we went to the doctor, she just said, ‘Oh, so unfortunate.’ Not even a ‘sorry,’ even though it was their mistake. I still remember her face.”
