(Translated by Google) Because of unfinished life plans, I started considering egg freezing a few years ago. Since friends strongly recommended Dr. Huang, I chose this clinic for my preparation and the procedure.
During my first consultation, Dr. Huang and the nursing staff carefully explained the egg freezing process to me and provided relevant health education in a simple and easy-to-understand way (such as the conversion between age and the number of eggs retrieved). Dr. Huang herself was very kind. When discussing the impact of AMH on fertility, she told me not to be nervous, and that adjustments could be made if the value was low. She gave me a sense of confidence and reliability, so I felt comfortable proceeding with the egg freezing process.
From the second day of my period, the preparations began intensively. I had to return for checkups approximately every three to four days, including examinations (ultrasound + blood tests), picking up injections and medications, etc. On the afternoon of each checkup, I would receive a call from the clinic informing me of the medication dosage for the next few days. The values were slightly adjusted each time based on Dr. Huang’s assessment. Regarding the challenging injections, I’m very grateful for the nurses’ health education. Even though I’m clumsy, they were very kind and patient in teaching me. Fortunately, I was able to administer the injections myself smoothly later on. Because I’m still working, my follow-up appointment times are sometimes less flexible, but Dr. Huang always manages to squeeze in time so I can get back to work after my appointments. I’m truly grateful for that.
I was a little nervous on the day of the egg retrieval. Before the surgery, while I was lying on the operating table, Dr. Huang held my hand and told me to relax. Shortly after, I fell asleep due to the anesthesia. The surgery lasted about an hour. After resting in the recovery room for a while and picking up my medication for the next week, I took the subway home with my family. Thankfully, I didn’t experience much discomfort after the surgery, only feeling weaker and more sleepy, which I guess is part of my body’s repair process. While I could feel my lower abdomen when walking, it wasn’t painful. One of the post-operative medications caused severe nausea and vomiting after I took it. During my follow-up appointment, Dr. Huang assessed my recovery and, because it was progressing well, discontinued the medication. He even noted in my medical record that the medication might not be suitable for me. He was very attentive throughout the process.
Because I expect to retrieve a specific number of eggs, I will likely undergo another treatment with Dr. Huang. Since egg freezing is a costly procedure, Dr. Huang is very considerate of patients in many aspects of the pricing, including the cost of a second procedure, the calculation method for annual egg preservation fees, and the return of unopened injections or medications. Having my eggs frozen with Dr. Huang gave me a very reassuring feeling; I could simply follow the clinic’s arrangements. Dr. Huang and the nursing staff were always attentive to details, and they immediately offered encouragement and comfort if I felt uneasy. I’m so glad I chose Dr. Huang’s team for my egg freezing treatment, and I wish all those undergoing egg freezing or IVF treatment a smooth and successful pregnancy!
P.S. Dr. Huang is so sweet. Before the egg retrieval, he gave me a bag of gummy bears and said, “Here, have these, I wish you get so many eggs.” Then, while the nurses were giving health education, Dr. Huang went to another examination room, came back with a test tube of gummy bears, and said, “This one’s ready, this one has more, the original one seemed like too few.” 😂
因為尚有未完成的人生規劃，這幾年開始有了凍卵的念頭，由於身邊朋友大力推薦黃院長，所以便選擇這裡進行凍卵的準備與手術。
第一次就診時，黃院長和護理人員便很細心地向我解釋凍卵的流程，也用淺顯易懂的方式進行相關衛教（例如年齡和取卵數的換算）。黃院長本人非常親切，提到AMH對生育率的影響時還對我說不要緊張，如果數值比較低再來進行調整就好，給人一種堅定又可靠的感覺，於是我就放心地進入後續的凍卵流程了。
從生理期來的第二天開始就是緊鑼密鼓的準備，大約每三到四天要回診一次，包括檢查（超音波＋抽血）、領取針劑和藥物等，回診當天下午會再接到診所的電話告知接下來幾天的藥物使用量，每次的數值會依照黃院長的判斷而有些微的調整。至於困難的打針部分也非常感謝護理師的衛教說明，即使手拙如我還是很親切細心的進行教學，所幸後來自行施打針劑的部分也都有順利完成了。因為仍在工作的關係，有時候回診時間會變得比較沒有彈性，但黃院長也會想辦法把我的時間擠進去，讓我能在就診完後趕回工作崗位上，這點真的非常感謝。
取卵當天有些緊張，手術開始前躺在手術台上，黃院長握了一下我的手，叫我放心，沒多久後我就因為麻醉而睡著了。手術時間大約一小時多，在恢復室休息了一會，領取了接下來一週分量的藥物，我就在家人的陪同下坐捷運慢慢回家了。感恩的是術後並沒有太多的不適，只有覺得體力較弱且比較嗜睡而已，應該是身體在修復的過程，走路的時候雖然感覺得到下腹部的存在感，但也不到痛的程度。其中一顆術後藥物我在服用之後有嚴重的噁心嘔吐感，術後回診的時候黃院長評估因為復原進度尚屬良好，所以就取消了這顆藥物的使用，還在病歷上特別註記這顆藥物可能比較不適合我，整個過程都很細心。
因為預期想要取到特定數量的卵子，所以接下來應該還會在黃院長這邊進行下一次的療程。由於凍卵手術所費不貲，黃院長在很多收費上都會盡量幫病人著想，包括如果要進行二次手術的費用、每年卵子保存費用的計算方式、以及未開封的針劑或藥物皆可回收等。在黃院長這邊進行凍卵給我一種非常安心的感覺，只需放心跟著診所的安排就可以了，過程中黃院長以及護理人員常常都會細心提醒一些細節，如果有不安的感受出現也會第一時間鼓勵安慰我，很慶幸當初選擇黃院長團隊進行凍卵的療程，也祝福所有在進行凍卵或試管療程的朋友們一切順利，平安好孕！

P.S. 黃院長很可愛，取卵前拿了一包小熊軟糖，說「這個給妳，祝福妳能取出這麼多顆卵」。結果當護理師正在衛教的時候，黃醫師走去另一間診間，拿回了一支試管糖，說：「這個好了，這個比較多，原本那個好像太少了。」😂
