(Translated by Google) Just three days after completing egg freezing!
37-year post-coital gestation, AMH 3.56
Actually, I’d had the idea of freezing my eggs for three years. Back then, I did research online and consulted several clinics. My AMH was still over 5… and it remained that level until last year. I kept putting it off because my AMH seemed okay and I made various excuses.
Now that it’s done, although I feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulders, I wonder why I didn’t start sooner?
I came to Xieyu Clinic on a friend’s recommendation. During my first consultation, Vice President Dr. Huang Ting-chi explained the entire egg freezing process, costs, and some details. Then, Director Dr. Huang Chien-jung provided supplementary information and suggestions. It was this empathetic and caring approach, combined with my intuition—that I had a connection with the doctors—that made me decide to complete the egg freezing here!
Two weeks later, on day 2 of my menstrual cycle, I came for my first appointment, beginning my egg freezing journey. In just two weeks, I had four follow-up appointments, and the egg retrieval was completed on the fifth visit. Each appointment included blood tests and ultrasounds, and the doctors followed the blood test reports… The dosage of daily injections was determined and tailored to my individual needs. Watching the follicles grow day by day, I eagerly awaited the retrieval of beautiful mature eggs.
Day 15, the day of egg retrieval, was the most nerve-wracking moment. I had never had anesthesia before, so I was very anxious before the procedure. The encouragement from the director and deputy director before the anesthesia gave me a sense of calm, and I fell asleep within seconds. A comfortable sleep followed by the successful procedure!
Dr. Huang Tingqi retrieved 14 eggs, 10 mature and 2 semi-mature, which was about what was expected at the follow-up appointment, so I was quite satisfied.
Although the egg freezing process causes some physical changes, and the daily self-administered injections (which weren’t actually very painful) created some psychological barriers, once it was completed, my courage inexplicably doubled.
I rested on the day of the retrieval, and the next morning I felt almost fully recovered, so it was another beautiful day before I went to work.
I somewhat regret completing the egg freezing process so late. After all, time cannot be reversed, and completing it earlier might have yielded better results.
剛完成凍卵第三天~
37Y，AMH3.56
其實早在三年前就有凍卵的念頭，當時後上網作功課，也諮詢了一些診所，那時的AMH都還有5點多…到去年都還是這個數值，就仗著AMH值看似還行及自己的各種藉口拖到現在，
如今完成了，雖說放下心中的大石，但會想著為什麼不早點開始?
聽朋友的介紹來到協育診所，第一次看診先是副院長黃珽琦醫師向我說明整個凍卵療程的及費用還有一些細節，後有院長黃建榮醫師的補充及建議，就是這種感同身受為人著想的溫度，加上我的直覺?有醫生緣，當下就決定在這裡完成凍卵!
兩週後生理期D2我就來報到，開啟了我凍卵的篇章
短短的兩週回診4次，到第5次完成取卵，每次回診抽血、照超音波，醫生都是依照抽血報告來決定每天針劑的劑量，量身打造，就這樣看著濾泡一天天長大，很期待可以取到漂亮的成熟卵~
到了D15取卵當天才是我最緊張的時刻，我從來沒有麻醉過，所以術前很焦慮，麻醉前院長及副院長在身旁的加油打氣，給了我安定的力量，幾秒後就睡著了~舒服的睡了一覺就大功告成
黃珽琦醫師幫我取了14顆，有10顆成熟及2顆半成熟，結果跟回診的預估差不多，還算滿意
雖然凍卵過程，身理上會有一點點變化，加上每天自行施打針劑(其實不太會痛)，會有些心理障礙要克服，等到完成後，勇氣莫名的也加倍了
取卵完當天休息，隔天一早就覺得恢復的差不多，又是美好的一天就去上班了
我有點後悔太晚完成凍卵這件事，畢竟歲月不可逆，早點完成或許有更美好的結果~
