(Translated by Google) Despite her busy schedule, the kind Dr. Huang always answered our questions and offered encouragement. The nurses were also very professional, familiar with the procedures for each treatment, and explained everything carefully, making us feel very reassured. Initially, Dr. Huang suggested that if we weren’t ready, we could start with ovulation-inducing drugs. A year passed, and after three cycles of ovulation-inducing drugs and two failed IVF cycles, we, nearing advanced maternal age, prepared ourselves mentally and decided to begin IVF treatment.
The dosage of IVF injections was doubled, but it wasn’t very effective for me with my low egg count. After the second failed fresh embryo transfer, Dr. Huang’s apology over the phone made me feel bad. I believe everyone had already tried their best, and there was no need for apologies. Starting again, Dr. Huang chose a minimal stimulation method and began collecting and freezing embryos for future use. The results were good; both the quantity and quality of eggs retrieved improved. After freezing two tubes of embryos, we decided to thaw the first tube for a third transfer. Fortunately, the baby finally implanted on the first attempt.
The path to having a child is fraught with uncertainty and probability. It’s not something that can be achieved simply by trying our best. While each failure is painful, there will always be lessons learned and growth along the way. Pick yourself up, stay optimistic, face the outcome together, believe in yourself and your medical team, and be prepared to move forward. Regardless of the result, at least you tried together, and you’ll have no regrets.
Thank you so much to everyone who has encouraged and helped us along this journey. It’s wonderful to have you all 🙂
親切的黃醫生雖然忙碌，卻總是問必答，常常鼓勵著我們，護理師們也都很專業，對於各個療程的進行流程都很熟悉，仔細說明，讓我們感覺很放心。剛開始黃醫生建議我們若還沒準備好，可以從排卵藥開始嘗試，一年的時間過去了，經過了三次排卵藥週期、兩次人工受孕失敗後，接近高齡的我們做好心理準備，決定開始進入試管療程。
試管療程的針量加倍，對於卵少的我沒有起太大的效用，在第二次試管鮮胚植入失敗後，電話中黃醫生說的抱歉，讓我很不好意思，我相信大家都已經很努力了，不需要抱歉的。重新再出發，黃醫生選擇了微刺激的方式，也開始收集胚胎冷凍，為後續做準備，結果效果不錯，取卵數量和品質都有進步，在集了兩管胚胎冷凍後，決定解凍第一管胚胎進行第三次植入，很幸運的終於第一次讓寶寶住下來了。
在求子這條路上，有太多的變數及機率問題，這不是一件只要我們非常努力，就一定可以達成的事情，一次次的失敗雖然很受傷，但在過程中一定會有所收穫或成長，收拾好心情、保持樂觀的一起面對結果相信自己、相信你的醫療團隊，做好準備繼續前進。不論結果如何，至少曾經一起努力過，就不會留下遺憾。
非常感謝在這條路上不斷鼓勵我們、幫助我們的大家，有你們真好 ：）
