(Translated by Google) In 2010, after more than a year of marriage and still not getting pregnant, a colleague recommended Dr. Huang Jianrong, an OB/GYN. I still remember the dreaded hysterosalpingography scan after our first appointment. The doctor said both my husband and I looked healthy, suggesting unexplained infertility. So, we had to work hard together.
From then on, I began the process of injections, follow-up visits for follicle scans, egg retrieval, embryo culture, and implantation. Because so many of my friends had achieved success on their first try, I felt confident I would be able to do the same. However, things didn’t go as planned. After two failed cycles, the doctor recommended PGS. I also followed other friends’ advice and had my immune system checked. The tests revealed I had Sjögren’s syndrome. Although the doctor said the probability of infertility was unknown, he still recommended medication to control my immune system.
Each failure was accompanied by a difficult process of convincing myself, healing myself, and regaining my confidence. So, at the end of 2012, my husband and I agreed to have a third full cycle of treatment—and consider it our last! When I was told both embryos were only CC and PGS was not recommended, I briefly considered giving up. But then I realized this was my last chance, so I decided to give these two embryos and my wife one last chance, to make it a point. I’m so happy that one of the two embryos has worked so hard to get me through this journey, allowing me to finally graduate after such a difficult and tearful journey. Of course, there are still many follow-up tests and ongoing efforts. I’m confident my little one will be with me through this journey well.
Director Huang encourages everyone to bring their pregnancy candies to the clinic and share them with others before graduation. I also brought some to Zhulinshan Guanyin Temple to pray for the blessing of the Goddess of Birth. After the prayer, I shared two candies with a couple who were praying. The wife was almost in tears when she heard the candies were meant to bring her a pregnancy. I believe every couple on the quest for a child understands this feeling. I also hope that the women who receive the candies will realize their dreams and have a baby soon. Finally, I want to thank Director Huang and his team again. Your wishes for a happy pregnancy are such warm encouragement.
自109年因婚後一年多仍未懷孕，同事推薦了黃建榮婦產科醫師，都還記得第一次約詢後，經歷最討厭的子宮輸卵管顯影檢查，那時醫生說看起來夫妻雙方都還算正常，那就是不明原因不孕，那我們就一起加油。
自此開始打針、回診照卵泡、取卵、培養胚胎、植入的過程，原本因為身邊很多朋友都是一次就成功，就抱持著我應該也會如此的心態，但終究事與願違，中間經歷2次療程失敗，主任也建議做PGS，另外也聽從其他朋友建議檢查免疫系統，檢查後才知道自己有乾燥症，雖然醫生說對於造成不孕的機率不明，但仍建議吃藥控制免疫系統。
其實每一次的失敗要再說服自己、療癒自己，再次振作並提起信心都是相當艱難的過程，因此在111年底，跟先生商量好，我們就做第三次完整療程，並且當作最後一次吧！也因此被告知兩個胚胎品質都只有CC，不建議做PGS的時候，曾經想過是否乾脆就此放棄，但想想這是最後一次，那就給這兩個胚胎和我們夫妻最後的機會，也算是有始有終。也很開心兩個胚胎當中還是有一個很努力地陪著我走到了現在，讓我終於可以在這條充滿心酸和眼淚的路上畢業，當然後續也還有很多檢查要繼續努力，相信我的兔寶會陪我好好走過這段時間的~
黃主任希望大家畢業前都可以帶好孕糖去診所跟大家分享，這次的好孕糖我也帶去竹林山觀音寺求註生娘娘保佑，一拜完，我就先拿了兩份跟正在拜拜的夫妻分享，那位太太聽到希望帶給她好孕的時候，她都快哭了，相信每對走在求子之路上的女生們都懂這個心情
也希望拿到糖果的女生們都能心想事成、早生貴子
最後也是要再次感謝黃主任以及團隊夥伴們，每次的祝你好孕，都是很溫暖的打氣
