(Translated by Google) Upon our first meeting, I was struck by Dr. Huang’s warm smile and her friendly answers to my questions. Initially, she suggested trying ovulation-inducing medication and recommended I undergo examinations at Shin Kong Hospital—hysterosalpingography, hysteroscopy, and vaginal ultrasound—all of which came back normal. After three unsuccessful attempts with the ovulation-inducing medication, I decided to pursue IVF. Being older, I knew I had to seize this crucial period.
Due to my polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the egg retrieval process involved a combination of long-acting (reduced injection frequency) and short-acting medications. This period of injections, medication, and blood tests was the most challenging, especially after egg retrieval, when I worried about ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Fortunately, everything went smoothly without any serious side effects. During the ovulation-inducing medication treatment, egg development wasn’t ideal, which worried me that the medication might also be ineffective and result in insufficient egg production. However, the medication worked exceptionally well, and a total of 25 eggs were retrieved. With only 7 embryos available plus 1 mosaic embryo, age truly is a killer. Being of advanced maternal age, I was terrified of chromosomal abnormalities and decided to do PGS. Five 5BB embryos were sent for testing; only one had normal chromosomes, and the other was returned without testing. Ultimately, we decided to implant the precious one embryo.
Luckily, I conceived on my first implantation. At five weeks pregnant, I experienced heavy bleeding, which was truly terrifying. Now, at 12 weeks, I’m about to graduate, and I’m incredibly grateful. It’s been a long road. At each follow-up appointment, the doctors and nurses encouraged me and wished me good luck – it warmed my heart and made me feel less alone on the IVF journey. They took every appointment seriously, leaving no room for error, which made me feel very reliable. Thank you again to all the staff at Huang Jianrong Clinic, I love you all!
初見面就體會到黃醫師的陽光笑容，親切地回答疑問。一開始，醫生建議先嘗試排卵藥，同時推薦我到新光醫院做檢查-輸卵管攝影/子宮鏡/陰道超音波，檢查結果都正常。在嘗試排卵藥療程三次失敗後，決定進入試管療程，高齡，必須把握黃金歲月。
由於多囊體質，取卵療程的打針，使用長效型（少打很多針）搭配短效型，這期間的打針/吃藥/抽血，是最辛苦的一段療程，特別是取卵後，還要擔心卵巢過度刺激，所幸，一切都很順利，沒有發生任何嚴重的副作用。在排卵藥療程時，卵子成長效果不甚理想，讓我擔心排卵針是不是也會效果不佳，卵不夠多，沒想到排卵針反應優良，總共取卵 25 顆。而可用的胚胎數只有 7顆+1顆鑲嵌型的胚胎，年紀果然是殺手～由於是高齡，非常害怕染色體異常，決定要加做 PGS，送 5 顆 5BB 檢驗，只有 1 顆染色體正常，還有 1 顆被退貨沒檢驗。最終，決定植入寶貴的 1 顆胚胎。
很幸運第一次植入，就成功懷孕。懷孕五週時，有一次大出血，真的是嚇到，一直到現在滿 12週，要畢業了，非常感動，真的是漫長的一條路。每次回診的時候，醫生們跟護理師們都會幫忙加油打氣，祝您好運也是掛在嘴邊～讓我覺得很暖心，在試管路上不孤單。而他們都會認真對待每一次回診，不會有任何疏失，讓我覺得非常可靠。再次感謝～黃建榮診所全體員工，愛你們～
