(Translated by Google) I am extremely grateful to Dr. Huang and his medical team for their dedication and hard work, which allowed me to fulfill my dream of becoming a mother. Because I married late, after several months of trying to conceive without success, my first thought was to ask a friend to recommend Dr. Huang Jianrong, who had successfully conceived on his first IVF attempt. Initially, my AMH level was 3.66 (at age 37), and my husband had no other issues besides slightly low sperm count. Therefore, during our first consultation, Dr. Huang suggested we try having intercourse naturally for a few months and see. By August 2023, there was still no good news, so we decided to undergo IVF treatment. The first time, 17 eggs were retrieved, and after fertilization, 4 were rated MA4/MB5. Three implanted, and although implantation was successful, the HCG level was only 8.67, resulting in a miscarriage. Dr. Huang gently comforted me, saying that this was likely due to natural selection, probably because the embryo itself was not healthy enough (chromosomal issues), and that I shouldn’t be discouraged. We originally planned to perform PGS on the remaining MA4/MB5 embryos, but the lab technician said the embryos’ structure was too loose for PGS. So, after a few months of rest, we started our second IVF cycle in December 2023, combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine (AMH=3.09). The second cycle retrieved 21 eggs, 18 of which were fertilized. Six were rated 5CB/5BB/5BA. Since the first cycle failed due to possible chromosomal issues, all six were sent for PGS this time. The results were 2 good, 2 bad, and 2 unknown.
We originally planned to implant after the Lunar New Year in 2024, but Dr. Huang suddenly suggested that since the clinic would be closed for the Lunar New Year, we should have an immune system test done before the holiday. The test results were devastating: I was diagnosed with Sjögren’s syndrome (SSA positive). I even received a major medical certificate. Dr. Huang advised waiting until my immune system stabilized before proceeding with implantation.
I’m truly grateful to Dr. Huang. Besides helping me with childbirth, she also helped me discover my immune disease early, allowing for timely treatment and dietary control to prevent the condition from worsening. Furthermore, I had concerns about the effects of quinine on the baby and consulted Dr. Huang. She personally contacted the immunologist and had them call me to explain in detail… I was incredibly touched; both doctors were so dedicated.
After taking quinine for over two months and confirming my condition was stable with the immunologist, Dr. Huang and I scheduled implantation. Two PGS were implanted, and one was successful. I’m so happy to finally be able to go from the IVF clinic to the prenatal care clinic. I’m so grateful to Dr. Huang and the medical team for their dedication. When I was younger, I didn’t think pregnancy was difficult. Although I faced challenges now, I’m fortunate to have encountered such a strong, professional, caring, and patient medical team. I am truly grateful.
非常感謝認真用心的黃醫師及醫療團隊，讓我如願完成當媽媽的夢想。由於晚婚，自從婚後嘗試幾個月懷孕卻沒好消息後，當時第一個想法就是找友人推薦第一次試管就成功的黃建榮醫師。一開始檢驗時我的AMH=3.66(37歲)，老公除精子量有點少外沒有其他問題，故第一次看診時黃醫師建議我們算好日子自然同房幾個月再看看。到了2023/8還是沒有好消息，於是我們決定走試管療程。第一次取了17顆卵，受精後評為MA4/MB5的共有4顆，植入了3顆，雖然有著床成功但HCG指數只有8.67，最終流產了，黃醫師很溫柔地安慰我說這可能是自然淘汰，應該是胚胎本身不夠健康(染色體等問題)，不用灰心。本來我們想將剩下的MA4/MB5做PGS，但檢驗師說胚胎本身的結構比較鬆散不宜作PGS，於是休息幾個月後，2023/12我們開始了第二次試管療程並搭配中醫(AMH=3.09)。第二次取了21顆卵，有18顆受精，評為5CB/5BB/5BA的共有6顆，由於第一次可能是因為染色體的問題植入失敗，故此次6顆全送PGS，切出的結果2好2壞2未知。
本來預計2024農曆年後植入，結果黃醫師突然提議，既然農曆年診所放假，不如趁放假前超前部屬做個免疫測試吧。不測還好，測完結果還真是晴天霹靂，我竟然患有乾燥症(SSA陽性)，後來甚至領取了重大傷病卡，黃醫師建議先等免疫穩定後，再進行植入。
其實蠻感謝黃醫師的，沒想到除了生小孩外，還提前讓我發現免疫疾病，使我能及早治療並控制飲食等，避免病情惡化，此外中間我還因為吃奎寧對小孩有疑慮而向黃醫師請教，沒想到黃醫師親自聯絡免疫醫師並請免疫醫師打給我跟我說明詳細….真的是超感動耶，兩位醫師都這麼盡心盡力。
吃了2個多月奎寧經免疫醫師確認病情穩定後，與黃醫師安排植入，此次植入2顆PGS，1顆成功，很開心現在終於可以從試管診所畢業到產檢診所了，這一切真的很感謝黃醫師及醫療團隊們的用心。以前年輕時不覺得懷孕是件很困難的事情，如今雖面臨困難，但有幸能遇到如此強大專業、有愛心又有耐心的醫療團隊，真的是由衷感激萬分感謝。
