Priya's Family Planning by kirsESS

One more I am posting for your reading pleasure, all credit to the author.

Having been long time close friends, Priya and Mark started dating in high college. The two made quite the couple. By the time they entered college, their relationship was well known and revered by friends and family alike.

It felt like they were perfect for each other and it came as no surprise when they got married shortly after graduating.

They later moved to Manchester for work, where after three years, the two mutually decided that it was time for them to start their family. Priya had been keen on the idea for a while now, having tried to convince Mark as early as one year into their marriage.

Priya and Mark have lived in England their entire lives. Priya was of Northern Indian descent. Within the community, she had a reputation of being a modern woman, while still managing to embrace cultural traditions. She was able to elegantly strike a balance between the two and for that, was adored by the entire community. She comes from a much bigger family than Mark and attributes her value for tradition to that fact. Getting married and having a family of her own has always been a long term goal and dream for her and she was eager to get started.

Mark was native to England and has spent time around Priya's family ever since they were friends. Given the two's long time relationship, they had no problem accepting him as Priya's husband. Priya and Mark had become closer as husband and wife due their families' mutual support and approval.

Mark was feeling comfortable at his work and decided it was finally time to fulfill Priya's wish. They had discussed it prior to this and Priya had long resolved to eventually quit her job and stay at home full time. Mark was initially a bit concerned, but Priya assured him that she truly wanted nothing more.

Mark was well aware of Priya's expectations and was starting to feel the pressure after 6 months of trying to have a baby unsuccessfully...

(2 of 3):

Priya looked down at her negative pregnancy test and gently sighed. She had come to expect a negative result at this point and wasn't all too disappointed.

She and her husband have been trying to have a baby for over 6 months now with no success. Out of concern, Priya secretly visited a fertility clinic and got a full checkup. As it would turn out, Priya was completely healthy in this regard. In fact, the doctor deemed her to be particularly fertile, citing her regular, slightly longer than usual menstrual cycles as evidence.

"This, alongside your estrogen levels during your cycle, indicate that you ovulate regularly", he commented.

The doctor even went as far as to call Priya 'super fertile' and expressed disbelief that any sexually healthy man would have trouble getting her pregnant.

At the time, Priya felt a feint sense of relief, but also knew what the doctor was implying. Since then, she would occasionally urge her husband to visit the clinic and get examined, but he would always refuse. Despite all of the failed attempts thus far, he remained confident that they would eventually be able to start their own family.

Needless to say, Priya no longer shared her husband's faith in his ability to get her pregnant.

She couldn't help but recall what the doctor said at the end of her consultation. His phrasing seemed a bit odd, but the implication alone was enough to stir Priya's imagination...
