(Translated by Google) “Hints are always futile, and unforeseen circumstances are inevitable.” I worried I might regret it someday, so at the age of 35 and still unmarried, I invested in egg freezing—an insurance policy. These frozen eggs are my personal property, and no one can take them away. In this generation, feminism is on the rise, and late marriage and childbearing are commonplace, but I want to make my own decisions about my uterus and ovaries.
A quick online search yields a string of hospitals and clinics offering egg freezing. Why did I choose “Huang Jianrong Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic” after all that? Besides its convenient location (right next to the MRT station exit), I also knew a nurse, Jiaxing, from my previous hospital job. I asked her to help me find a medical institution with both technical expertise and ethical conduct (since egg freezing is a self-funded procedure, I believe medical ethics are crucial). Jiaxing’s only recommendation was “Huang Jianrong Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic.”
I immediately booked an appointment with Dr. Huang Jianrong, the director, for my first consultation on September 11th regarding the egg freezing procedure and costs, how to nurture my eggs, and to undergo blood tests and ultrasound examinations. On September 12th, I learned from my blood test results that everything was perfect: an AMH level of 5.94 and a Vitamin-D level of 30.08. The ultrasound also showed no fibroids, cysts, or other problems. Dr. Huang Jianrong diagnosed me and said I didn’t have polycystic ovary syndrome. At 35, an AMH level of 5.94 was indeed excellent, and my uterus and ovaries were clean, making me very suitable for egg freezing. During my consultation, Dr. Huang Tingqi (Dr. Huang) also came into the examination room to check on my condition and decided that Dr. Huang would perform the egg retrieval procedure. I’m grateful that my body cooperated so well, and I thank Dr. Huang Jianrong for giving me such a boost of courage. The clinic’s medical team, including the nurses, carefully and patiently explained every detail of the egg freezing process. Any questions were answered promptly. I made the right choice; this is the place for me – “Huang Jianrong Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic and its entire medical team.”
October 2nd was also the second day of my period, and I officially started the egg freezing treatment. This included blood tests, ultrasound examinations, and scheduled ovulation induction injections. Dr. Huang Jianrong would adjust the dosage of the ovulation induction injections and medications based on the blood test results. Thank you, Senior Sister Jiaxing, for administering my ovulation-inducing injections regularly every day (it’s one of the advantages of knowing her and living near her home). Watching my body change day by day, I experienced symptoms like an enlarged abdomen, slowed movement, nausea, and shortness of breath. Every 2-3 days during my follow-up appointment, Dr. Huang Tingqi (Dr. Huang) would also check on me. I have to admire Dr. Huang Jianrong’s medical judgment; he was worried I wouldn’t make it to the surgery date due to shortness of breath, so he adjusted the dosage of my ovulation-inducing injections and medications four times during those 13 days until my egg retrieval surgery on October 15th. Of course, each adjustment was based on blood test results as the gold standard. After adjusting the dosage, my nausea and shortness of breath improved significantly, but my blood test results remained within the normal range. I must commend Dr. Huang Jianrong here; besides his precise medication control, he also provides a lot of emotional support. Every time I left the clinic, Dr. Huang would say to me, “After a successful surgery, you will meet the right person, a good partner, and then get married and have children.” Wow, thank you for your kind words! Dr. Huang Jianrong is very good at offering comforting words of encouragement, which is exactly what I needed, haha.
Finally, the surgery day arrived, and thankfully I didn’t give up. The egg retrieval surgery was on October 15th at 8 AM in the operating room. Dr. Huang Jianrong and Dr. Huang Tingqi (Little Dr. Huang) came to verify my identity, chatted with me, and offered plenty of encouragement. The nursing team at Dr. Huang Jianrong’s Obstetrics and Gynecology Department are incredibly efficient; even though this was my first time under general anesthesia and I was extremely nervous, they still managed to administer the injection on the first try—they’re amazing! The surgery lasted about 50 minutes. Afterwards, I was taken to the recovery room for observation. Dr. Huang Jianrong woke me up to share the good news: at 35 years old and not having PCOS, they retrieved 23 eggs, 96% of which were mature, and only 4% were immature. This result is truly astounding!
If you’re not brave, no one can be strong for you! Because I bravely took the first step and chose “Huang Jianrong Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic,” during my egg freezing treatment, I received care and support from the hospital director, Dr. Huang Jianrong, the vice director, Dr. Huang Tingqi, nurse Jiaxing, ultrasound technician Chanyi, and all the nurses on the medical team. They supported me through the difficult times. As long as I followed their instructions, I believed that my efforts would bear fruit. As expected, the 13-day egg freezing treatment resulted in 23 eggs. Thank you to the medical team at Huang Jianrong Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic.
「千金難買早知道，萬般無奈想不到」。我擔心有一天我會後悔，因此我在35歲未婚的年紀，投資自己買了一個保險「凍卵」，而這個凍卵屬於個人財產，誰也無法拿走。在這個世代，女性主義抬頭，晚婚晚育已是常態，但我的子宮、卵巢，由我自己做主。
網路上搜尋就會出現一串凍卵的醫院診所，為什麼萬中選一之下我依然堅定地選擇了「黃建榮婦產科」，除了交通方便（就在捷運站出口旁邊而已），以前在醫院工作，認識護理師-佳杏學姐，請她幫我找有技術能力且有醫德的醫療院所（畢竟凍卵是自費療程，我認為有醫德很重要），佳杏學姐唯一推薦「黃建榮婦產科」。
立即預約院長-黃建榮醫師，9/11首次門診諮詢凍卵療程與費用、如何養卵、進行抽血、超音波檢查。9/12得知抽血報告一切理想，AMH值 5.94、Vitamin-D值 30.08，超音波檢查也沒有肌瘤、囊腫等問題存在，黃建榮醫師診斷後說我不是多囊體質，35歲AMH值 5.94的確不錯，子宮卵巢也乾淨，非常適合凍卵。諮詢到這裡，黃珽琦醫師（小黃醫師）也進來診間照會一下我的狀況，決定取卵手術就由小黃醫師執行。我感謝我的身體非常給力，也謝謝黃建榮醫師給了我一劑勇氣強心針，診所的醫療團隊護理師姐姐們細心且耐心地一字一句解釋說明整個凍卵療程的相關事宜，有任何疑問，隨即回覆，我的選擇沒錯，就是它了「黃建榮婦產科與其所有醫療團隊」。
10/2也是月經來的第二天，正式進入凍卵療程，抽血、超音波檢查、定時打排卵針，黃建榮醫師看抽血數值去決定調整排卵針與藥物的劑量。謝謝佳杏學姐每天定時地幫我打排卵針（認識學姐又住學姐家附近的好處），看著我身體一天天的變化，過程中當然有出現腹部變大、行動緩慢、噁心、走路會喘等症狀，每2-3天回診時，黃珽琦醫師（小黃醫師）也會來照會一下，不得不佩服黃建榮醫師的醫術判斷能力，擔心我會喘而撐不到手術日期，一直到10/15取卵手術，這13天過程中就調整了4次排卵針與藥物劑量，當然每次調整劑量前以抽血數值做為黃金標準，調整排卵針劑量後，噁心又喘的症狀改善許多，但抽血數值一樣在標準內，到這裡一定要稱讚一下黃建榮醫師，除了用藥精準控制之外，他還會給妳滿滿的情緒價值，每次離開診間黃建榮醫師都會跟我說一句「手術順利後，妳就會遇到對的人、好對象，然後結婚生子」，哇～承你吉言了！黃建榮醫師很會給貼心的言語鼓勵，凍卵的小阿姨很需要，哈哈。
終於等到手術日，還好我沒放棄。10/15取卵手術早上8點的手術房，黃建榮醫師跟黃珽琦醫師（小黃醫師）都過來做身份確認，跟我說說話以及滿滿的加油打氣。黃建榮婦產科的護理團隊根本「一針姐」，就連這是我人生中第一次全身麻醉進手術房緊張到爆炸的情況下，依然一針on上，很強。手術大約50分鐘左右，術後我被推到恢復室觀察，是黃建榮醫師把我叫醒來報喜的，35歲的年紀又不是多囊體質，總取出23顆卵，96%都是成熟卵，4%是未成熟卵，這成績實在太震撼人心了！！！
妳不勇敢，沒人能替妳堅強！因為勇敢了踏出第一步選擇「黃建榮婦產科」，凍卵療程中有院長-黃建榮醫師、副院長-黃珽琦醫師、護理師-佳杏、超音波技術師-嬋伊、以及所有醫療團隊的護理師姐姐們關心問候與照顧，後面的堅強他們都幫我頂著了，我只要跟隨他們的指示去做，相信一定會開花結果的，不負眾望，這13天的凍卵療程成就了23顆卵，謝謝黃建榮婦產科的醫療團隊。
