(Translated by Google) Because of low AMH levels and constant anxiety about my fertility age, I decided to freeze my eggs at a assisted reproductive center in Taipei.
The most important thing I want to share about the entire process is that it wasn’t as scary as I imagined.
From follow-up appointments, blood tests, ultrasounds to egg retrieval, Dr. Huang Ting-Chi was incredibly meticulous. During each ultrasound, she personally explained the follicle status and encouraged me to give the eggs more time to grow, which reassured me a lot. The nurses were also very gentle, incredibly patient when explaining the injections, and proactively called to check on me afterward, making me feel well taken care of.
My biggest fear was the daily injections and the trigger shot, but after 13 days, I found it wasn’t as painful as I imagined; I was just scaring myself! 😂
In the end, 15 eggs were retrieved, 8 of which were mature. The doctor said that for my AMH level of just over 2, this number was actually better than expected. Although there’s still room for improvement in the maturation rate, I’m already very grateful for the results and glad I made this decision.
Thank you, Dean Huang, Vice Dean Huang, and all the nurses, for making this initially anxious journey much more reassuring. After waking up from the surgery, the dean explained the egg retrieval process to me, and I told her that I hope I’ll be a mother when we take our next photo together 🙂
因為 AMH 偏低，加上一直很焦慮生育年齡，所以決定到台北協育凍卵。
整個療程下來最想分享的是：真的沒有想像中可怕。
從回診、抽血、照超音波到取卵，黃珽琦醫師都非常細心，每次照超音波時都會親自說明卵泡狀況，也會鼓勵我再給卵寶寶一點時間長大，讓原本很緊張的我安心很多。護理師們也都很溫柔，教打針時超有耐心，術後還會主動打電話關心狀況，給人一種被好好照顧的感覺。
原本最害怕的是每天打針和破卵針，結果實際打了 13 天後發現根本沒有想像中痛，反而是自己嚇自己 😂
最後取到 15 顆卵子，其中 8 顆成熟卵。醫師說以我 AMH 2 點多 來說，這個數量其實超乎預期。雖然成熟率還有進步空間，但我已經很感謝這次的成果，也很慶幸自己做了這個決定。
謝謝黃院長、黃副院長和所有護理師，讓這段原本很焦慮的旅程變得安心許多。手術醒來後院長跟我解釋這次取卵的狀況，我跟院長說，希望下次再合照時我已經是媽媽了：）
