(Translated by Google) My husband and I are both carriers of hepatitis B. Initially, we wanted to have a baby and decided to try natural conception first. In 2022, I became pregnant naturally for the first time, and we were initially very happy. However, after the amniocentesis, the results showed that our baby had a critical condition, and I was forced to have an induced abortion. Heartbroken, we decided to try IVF. In early 2023, I successfully became pregnant, but before we could see our baby, the baby had an extra chromosome on its 15th pair, and stopped having a heartbeat in the seventh week. We were devastated. The physical strain of IVF was nothing compared to the pain of losing our baby. We thought that since IVF was also painful and not guaranteed to succeed, we might as well try natural conception again. Soon, six months later, I became pregnant again! This time, we had chorionic villus sampling (CVS) done by Dr. Ke Cangming in the tenth week, and the results showed that the baby again had a critical condition, and I was forced to have another induced abortion.
After resting for a few months, I came to Dr. Huang Jianrong’s Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic through the introduction of relatives and friends. The first time I saw Dr. Huang, I felt very warm. Every time I came for a consultation, whether it was the medical staff or the doctor, they all brought me warmth. In early 2024, I retrieved my first set of eggs, but both embryos showed severe abnormalities in PGD. Despite my sadness, I continued the treatment. My AMH level was not high, and the doctor encouraged me, saying that I was still young and that the previous babies’ chromosomes had not been problematic, so I should try again! So, a month later, I retrieved eggs and had two usable embryos! We were overjoyed and also transferred three embryos from outside the hospital to our clinic. In the first natural cycle implantation treatment, we found that the endometrium was thick and then sag, so we canceled the treatment and entered the second implantation treatment, switching to a medication cycle for implantation. During the first follow-up ultrasound of the medication treatment, we found that the endometrium was still not thick enough. I was really sad. I felt like I was constantly encountering physical conditions that I couldn’t change. But Dr. Huang still encouraged me, saying that there was still a chance. I left the reproductive center crying that day. On my way home, I suddenly remembered a traditional Chinese medicine doctor who specializes in gynecology. I thought I might as well give it a try. After taking Chinese medicine for a few days along with an increased dose of hormone medication, my endometrium grew to the standard range. Dr. Huang said, “Let’s proceed with the implantation!” So, I waited two weeks for the blood test results! I was pregnant! I am so grateful that, having lost three children, I was able to conceive again, and because I had undergone PGD, I could focus on a healthy pregnancy. Thank you to the doctor and all the medical staff who accompanied me, treating us with such care and kindness! And thank God, I was fortunate enough to graduate from the reproductive center!
我跟先生都是地中海乙型帶因者,一開始想要有寶寶,我們想說先自然試試看,2022年我第一次自然懷孕,起初都很開心,但是當做完羊膜穿刺檢測,上帝竟給了我們重症寶寶,我被迫引產,在傷心之餘,我們決定要走入試管的旅程,2023年初,我成功懷孕,但當時還來不及看到寶寶,因為寶寶第15對染色體多一條,在第七周寶寶自己沒有了心跳,當時我們非常非常的失落,做試管的過程身體的承受都算不了甚麼,但是失去寶寶,比甚麼都來的難過,我們想著既然做試管也要受苦,且不一定成功,不如再試一次自然看看,很快的半年後,我又懷孕了!這次我們第十週就找了柯滄銘醫生做絨毛穿刺,結果出來又是重症寶寶,我再一次被迫引產。
休息幾個月後,因為親人朋友的介紹下,來到了黃建榮婦產科,第一眼看到黃醫生,覺得很溫暖,每一次來看診,無論是醫護人員,還是醫生,都帶給我溫暖,2024年初,我取了第一次卵,但兩顆胚胎做PGD都是重症,難過之餘,還是繼續療程,又我的AMH值不高,醫生鼓勵我說現在還年輕,之前寶寶染色體也都沒問題,再加油一次!
於是相隔一個月後取卵,有了兩顆可以用的胚胎! 我們開心之餘,也將院外的三顆胚胎移到本院,接下來在第一次自然週期植入的療程中,發現內膜厚了又掉下來,因此取消療程,進入第二次植入療程,改用藥物周期來植入,在藥物療程第一次追蹤超音波的時候,發現內膜依然不夠厚,心裡真的好難過,感覺一直接連遇到我無法改變的身體狀態,但是黃院長依然鼓勵我,還有機會,當天哭著離開生殖中心。回家的路上,我突然想到有一位專門看婦科的中醫師,我想說不如試試看,在吃了幾天中藥搭配增加劑量的賀爾蒙藥,內膜長起來在標準值了,黃院長說:我們植入吧!於是等待兩周後抽血開獎的時刻!我懷孕了!很感恩,失去三個孩子的我,能夠再次懷上寶寶,並且因為做過PGD可以安心的好好養胎,謝謝院長跟所有陪伴我的醫護人員,用心親切的待我們!也感謝上帝，我幸運地從生殖中心畢業了!
