我想許多女性跟我一樣,想凍卵,但害怕自己一個人去做這個手術. 在黃建榮婦產科診所凍卵,非常舒適.
我今年41了,因為年紀決定凍卵.6年前(2019年)認識20多年的林育弘醫生就跟我推薦過黃醫生.就算有不懂的地方,護理師會耐心一一解講,有問題可以盡量提問,不要害怕.

今年4/29第一次到診所看診,黃醫生.小黃醫生.護理師們都讓人備感溫馨和尊重.第一次看診,小黃醫生會先講解年紀與卵子品質的關聯性,開抽血單,接著黃醫生會再講一次療程過程與可能會遇到的事.之後護理師會再給予資料填寫,抽血,以及告知須注意事項和約下次回診.第一次看診完覺得,怎麼這麼容易~
自己第一次看診時是月經第四天,錯過可以進療程的時間,第二次約在五天後(5/3)回診,AMH1.2. 黃醫生要我開始擦昂絲妥凝膠,我們決定七月之前一定要進行凍卵. 5/26第三次看診,先照了超音波,共有13顆濾泡.但因為身體太累,有可能要住院,這個月決定不進療程,約定6/25回診.第四次看診,一樣先照超音波,但濾泡變成8顆,和黃醫生討論後決定再延一個月,把卵子和身體養好.因為家中長輩住院,黃醫生和護理師們還有給予關懷與鼓勵,讓人感動.
7/28第五次看診,一樣是先照超音波,濾泡有11顆,終於要進入療程了.領了5支空針和6盒要注射的藥劑以及口服藥,可以選擇自行在家施打或到診所請護理師們幫忙.我原本是想每天都到診所施打,但中間遇上長輩告別式,不在台北,只好學著自己打針.護理師們都很親切,連著兩天教我怎麼打,並在旁邊看我操作,後來覺得,其實一點都不難,而且我沒有讓自己瘀青~~診所護理師會在大概下午兩點前打電話通知口服藥物的劑量,所以雖然有先開藥,但不一定會吃
8/2第六次看診,大於10mm的濾泡左右各一顆,有點沮喪.但小於10mm右邊有5顆,左邊有6顆.黃醫生說我們再打一點藥和吃一點藥,讓他們長大.這次再打三天和吃三天藥,請護理師們先幫我把藥物抽好,讓我在家自己打.
8/5第七次看診,大於10mm的濾泡右邊有5顆,左邊有2顆.小於的右邊有4顆,左邊5顆.再回去打兩天的針和吃兩天藥,這次確定8/9取卵,並先把破卵針給我.
8/7第八次看診,大於20mm有6顆,大於10mm小於20mm也是6顆,小於10mm有7顆,覺得自己這些針不是白打的,成果驚人,不過下腹脹得很嚴重,還有點頻尿.確定8/9週六取卵,等待下午電話告知破卵針施打的時間.
8/9取卵日,早上九點報到有點緊張.因為全麻,一定要有成年人陪同.
核對完身分,會先換衣服,上點滴,然後就等著進手術室.
自己走進去手術室後,護理師會先調整一下我的位置,然後黃醫生進來跟我說話,靜脈麻醉是全程我覺得最不舒服的,黃醫生還有安撫我一下,說過一會就好了,因為信任,所以黃醫生的安撫很有用.一下下就睡著了.手術過程很快,醒來大概是一小時後,覺得肚子上很重,有被加壓止血.有胚胎師過來跟我說取了11顆成熟的卵子,3顆未成熟卵,會培養一下看看能不能用.之後護理師跟陪同者說可以去繳費領藥,再後來我就換衣服,等黃醫生來跟我說一下話就離開了.約定8/11下午回診.當天下午晚上滿不舒服的,護理師也有打來關切,並告知隔天就會好很多,8/9-8/10,我幾乎在床上睡覺度過.8/10晚上起來後幾乎都不痛了.
盡可能的把我記得的寫出來,希望能有更多女性進行凍卵,給自己多一個可能,凍卵不可怕,黃建榮婦產科診所真的可幫到你~

I think many women, like me, want to freeze their eggs but are afraid to undergo the procedure alone. Freezing my eggs at Huang Jianrong Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic was very comfortable.

I’m 41 this year, and I decided to freeze my eggs because of my age. Six years ago (2019), Dr. Lin Yuhong, whom I’ve known for over 20 years, recommended Dr. Huang to me. Even if there were any questions, the nurses patiently explained everything, and I was encouraged to ask questions without fear.

I visited the clinic for the first time on April 29th this year. Dr. Huang, the junior doctor, and the nurses all made me feel very warm and respected. During the first visit, the junior doctor explained the relationship between age and egg quality, ordered a blood test, and then Dr. Huang explained the treatment process and potential issues. Afterwards, the nurses helped me fill out forms, had my blood drawn, and informed me of necessary precautions and scheduled a follow-up appointment. After the first visit, I was amazed at how easy it was! My first visit was on the fourth day of my period, which meant I missed the optimal time to start the treatment. My second appointment was scheduled for five days later (May 3rd), and my AMH level was 1.2. Dr. Huang instructed me to start applying Onstol gel, and we decided to freeze my eggs before July. On May 26th, my third appointment included an ultrasound, which showed 13 follicles. However, due to exhaustion and the possibility of hospitalization, I decided against starting treatment this month and scheduled a follow-up appointment for June 25th. My fourth appointment also included an ultrasound, but this time the number of follicles had decreased to 8. After discussing with Dr. Huang, we decided to postpone the treatment for another month to allow my eggs and body to recover. Because an elderly family member was hospitalized, Dr. Huang and the nurses provided care and encouragement, which was very touching. On July 28th, my fifth appointment also included an ultrasound, showing 11 follicles. Finally, it was time to begin treatment. I received 5 syringes, 6 boxes of injectable medication, and oral medication. I could choose to administer the injections at home or have the nurses at the clinic help me. I originally planned to go to the clinic every day, but due to an elderly relative’s funeral, I was not in Taipei, so I had to learn to administer the injections myself. The nurses were very kind. Tsk, they taught me how to administer the injections for two days straight and watched me do it. Later, I realized it wasn’t difficult at all, and I didn’t even get bruises! The clinic nurses would call around 2 PM to inform me of the oral medication dosage, so even though they prescribed the medication, I might not necessarily take it.

August 2nd, sixth appointment: One follicle larger than 10mm on each side, a bit discouraging. But there were 5 follicles smaller than 10mm on the right and 6 on the left. Dr. Huang said we’d give them some more injections and oral medication to help them grow. This time, I’ll have three more days of injections and oral medication. Please have the nurses draw up the medication for me so I can administer it at home.

August 5th, seventh appointment: 5 follicles larger than 10mm on the right and 2 on the left. There were 4 smaller follicles on the right and 5 on the left. I’ll go back for two more days of injections and oral medication. This time, egg retrieval is confirmed for August 9th. They gave me the trigger shot first. On August 7th, my eighth appointment, they found 6 eggs larger than 20mm, 6 eggs larger than 10mm but smaller than 20mm, and 7 eggs smaller than 10mm. I felt all those shots were worthwhile; the results were amazing. However, I had severe lower abdominal bloating and frequent urination. Egg retrieval was scheduled for Saturday, August 9th. I waited for a phone call that afternoon to let them know the time for the trigger shot. On August 9th, the egg retrieval day, I arrived at 9 am, feeling a bit nervous. Because of general anesthesia, an adult must accompany me. After verifying my identity, I changed clothes, started the IV drip, and then waited to enter the operating room. After entering the operating room, the nurse adjusted my position, and then Dr. Huang came in to talk to me. The intravenous anesthesia was the most uncomfortable part of the whole process, and Dr. Huang reassured me, saying it would be over soon. Because I trusted him, Dr. Huang’s reassurance was very helpful. It was very helpful. I fell asleep almost immediately. The procedure was quick. I woke up about an hour later, feeling a heavy heaviness in my abdomen, as if pressure had been applied to stop the bleeding. An embryologist came and told me they retrieved 11 mature eggs and 3 immature eggs, which they would culture to see if they were usable. Afterwards, the nurse told my companion that we could go pay and pick up the medication. Then I changed clothes, waited for Dr. Huang to speak with me briefly, and then left. I had a follow-up appointment on the afternoon of August 11th. I felt quite uncomfortable that afternoon and evening. The nurse called to check on me and told me I would feel much better the next day. From August 9th to 10th, I spent almost all my time sleeping in bed. When I woke up on the evening of August 10th, the pain was almost gone. I’m writing down as much as I remember, hoping that more women will choose egg freezing and give themselves another possibility. Egg freezing isn’t scary, and Huang Jianrong Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic can really help you!
