(Translated by Google) I’m Ms. Lin, who lives in the United States.
When I saw the two lines on the pregnancy test stick today, I was a little in disbelief, but mostly ecstatic.
I’ve finally graduated.
When I saw the implantation failure, I remembered reading the graduation essay written by someone who had successfully completed IVF. It was deeply inspiring. She said that IVF is all about chance, and since her conditions weren’t good, she had to go through more egg retrievals and implantations than others, hoping that one day she would get pregnant. Finally, she successfully became a mother, after numerous implantations.
Inspired by her, I suddenly felt the urge to write a graduation essay about my IVF life. I hope that other students currently undergoing IVF can feel better after reading about my challenging experience.
~ … Wasn’t there a rumor about someone who got twins after just one IVF session? Where were the twins?
After the embryo was implanted in the US, I had 15 consecutive days of buttock injections to maintain the pregnancy, but the hospital wouldn’t help. My husband administered the injections every night, and still no pregnancy. I was absolutely devastated.
I decided to return to Taiwan for IVF. I started searching online, and everyone recommended Dr. Huang Jianrong. I discovered that implants in Taiwan didn’t require daily injections, were affordable, and had excellent technology. So, I resolutely bought a plane ticket and went to Taiwan for IVF!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Age 33: Diagnosed by Dr. Huang in Taiwan. I was infertile due to fallopian tube swelling. I had my left fallopian tube removed (laparoscopic surgery) and returned to the US for three months of rest. Then I had an ectopic pregnancy in my right fallopian tube (laparotomy). So, both fallopian tubes were gone. After resting enough, I flew back to Taiwan to see Dr. Huang Jianrong’s Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic to begin IVF treatment.
Age 34: I successfully had a daughter through IVF in Taipei. I’m grateful to Dr. Huang Jianrong in Taipei for letting me experience the joy of motherhood.
Age 36: I changed three IVF doctors in the US. I kept experiencing fluid on the day of ovulation implantation. The last doctor saw fluid on the implantation day for five consecutive months and was afraid to release the eggs. My pride and confidence were completely shattered…
I had no choice but to return to Taiwan to see the renowned Dr. Huang Jianrong for IVF. (Hmm… Taiwan’s top ten doctors are truly amazing. Every day, there are 70 or 80 people waiting to see me at the same time, and the wait can last at least two hours. It’s hard not to improve your skills after practicing so much every day!) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 37: Back to the amazing Dr. Huang in Taipei for IVF.

I asked, “Can’t I do a three-point laparoscopy?” The doctor said a cesarean section would be the safest way to remove the fibroids without damaging the uterus.

I had a cesarean section for no apparent reason before giving birth, and now I have to do it again before my second child! Why is my uterus so miserable? Thinking back to the pain of my previous cesarean section, I felt a pang of misery, unable to smile. A bitter taste permeated my entire tongue. Why was my pregnancy so difficult? It was even more bitter than eating 10 kilograms of Coptis chinensis in one go.
But for my second child, I had to fight. What else could I do?
I had a cesarean section to remove the fibroids, rested for a few months, and then started IVF again. I felt a sense of urgency—if I didn’t have another baby, I’d be even older. (It’s all hard mode now, it’ll definitely be hell mode later.) ~ … I went through two cesarean sections, two laparoscopies, four egg retrievals, four implantations, and 15 ovulation cycles with ultrasounds showing uterine hydrops.
I hope I won’t have to go through IVF again in my lifetime. The ups and downs, the emotions involved, are something only someone who’s gone through numerous IVF cycles can truly understand. The price of a single failure is truly too much. All of this is over. The future is just around the corner.
我是住美國的林小姐
在今天看到驗孕棒的兩條線的時候，我有些不敢置信，更多是狂喜，
終於畢業了
想起植入失敗時，看到成功試管寫的畢業文，深深激勵我，她說，試管跟機率有關，自己的條件不好，所以她就要比其他人做更多次的取卵跟植入，總有一天會懷孕，最後她成功成為母親，在她經歷N次植入之後。
受她影響，突然有感而發想寫個試管人生的畢業文，希望試管的在校生，看到我波折的經歷，心情可以好一點。
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
32歲：在美國取卵 （花60 萬 ）植入失敗
第一次做試管失敗，心裡大受打擊，開始自我懷疑的想：難道自己的決策錯了嗎？
花了老公這麼多錢，為什麼別人懷孕一下就中了，自己卻必須要花錢還不能懷孕。
不是說那個誰試管做一次就中了雙胞胎嗎？說好的雙胞胎呢？
在美國植入後連續打了15天的屁股長針安胎而且醫院不幫忙打。安胎針每天晚上都是老公打，而且還沒中，真的超級崩潰。
決定回台灣做試管。開始上網找資料，大家都推黃建榮醫師，發現台灣植入不用每天打油針，便宜技術又好，毅然決然地買機票去台灣做試管！
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
33歲：在台灣黃醫師檢驗出。輸卵管水腫造成不孕，切左邊輸卵管、（腹腔鏡手術）回美國休息三個月
之後又右邊輸卵管子宮外孕（剖腹手術）
～所以兩邊輸卵管都沒了，休息夠了又飛台灣黃建榮婦產科，開始試管療程
34 歲：在台北做試管，成功得一女
感謝台北黃建榮大神醫生，讓我體驗為人母的喜悅
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
36歲：在美國換了三個試管醫生，子宮排卵植入日一直有水，最後一個醫生連續5個月的植入日都照到有水，不敢放卵，把我的驕傲信心殺的片甲不留⋯。
我只好特地回台灣找大神黃建榮醫師做試管。（嗯⋯台灣前十大名醫真的太強了，每天去診所都7、80個人同時等看診，等待都兩個小時起跳，每天大量練技術不強也很難啊！）
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
37歲:回到了厲害的台北試管黃醫生，排卵日醫生說子宮沒水，突然我眼睛泛紅，很想哭！感覺可以離開子宮有水的魔咒，
但醫生說我的子宮肌瘤已經長到五公分了。在著床的地方很近必須要剖腹，我說不能三點腹腔鏡嗎？醫生說剖腹才可以最不傷害子宮的方式拿掉肌瘤。
什麼！！曾經有人說剖腹一次老七歲！
之前莫名其妙剖過一次，生過剖一次，現在還沒生老二又要剖一次！！我的肚子命怎麼那麼慘！想起之前生產的剖腹之痛，心裡有一點慘兮兮的笑不出來，苦味蔓延著整個舌腔，我懷孕的路怎麼這麼苦，比一次吃了10斤的黃蓮還苦
但為了老二只能拼了，不然怎麼辦
剖腹取子宮肌瘤，休養幾個月又開始試管療程，有一種急迫感～再不生就更高齡了，（現在都是困難模式了，以後一定是地獄模式）
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
38歲：開始取卵植入只有1顆可以用 植入失敗
問護士為什麼會失敗。護士說我38歲活產率只有31 %
好吧！聽起來很有道理。再接再厲！連續做再取卵
38歲：開始取卵植入，本來抱著62％的成功機率！(2個31％）還想著再失敗再去做的精神！結果中了！
姊妹們！我終於畢業了！經歷了二次剖腹手術、二次腹腔鏡手術，4次取卵、4次植入、15次排卵周期超音波子宮有水。
做試管嬰兒這件事希望我這輩子可以不用再經歷了，其中起起伏伏的經歷、心情，真的只有做過N次試管的人才會懂，一次的失敗，要付出的真的太多。
一切都過去了。
未來即將要來。

All of this is over.
