I graduated from Taipei IVF at 44!
After over 10 years of marriage without ever conceiving, and a failed IVF attempt outside of Taipei, I came here. I was immediately drawn in by the warm and comfortable atmosphere, and the kind and detailed explanations during my consultation left a deep impression. Dr. Huang’s words, “Let’s work together, father and son, to help you!” brought tears to my eyes. After carefully reviewing my previous report, he recommended further detailed immunological testing, calling it “proactive planning.” Unexpectedly, the tests revealed elevated thyroglobulin antibodies, high thyroid peroxidase antibodies, and antiphospholipid syndrome. Dr. Huang reassured me that my condition was manageable with medication and then referred me to the endocrinology department. Thus began my journey of egg retrieval, consultations with immunology and endocrinology specialists, and collaborative efforts.
Due to my age and the high probability of chromosomal abnormalities, we decided to perform PGS. Six eggs were retrieved initially, four of which fertilized and all developed into blastocysts. Unfortunately, the ones that could be PGS were abnormal. The second attempt was also abnormal… Seeing my dejected look, Dr. Huang comforted me, “It’s time to succeed! The good one is coming out!” He used an exam analogy, saying I had made thorough preparations, and all that was left was to wait for success. The director’s words inexplicably comforted me, so I rallied and underwent the third egg retrieval. This time, only one mosaic embryo was successful. The director said it could be implanted, and if implantation was successful, it meant the embryo had successfully repaired itself in the uterus. And then, it actually worked!
Currently, the baby is growing very healthily. I hope everyone will not give up on any embryo!
Every time I come here, the nurses always smile and say “Wishing you a healthy pregnancy,” making me feel warm and blessed. Dr. Huang’s warm encouragement always helps me let go of my anxieties and worries.
Everyone’s journey to having a child has its own hardships, but we must still maintain optimism and faith, trust our doctors, and trust ourselves. May everyone’s wishes come true and they have a healthy pregnancy.
致黃建榮醫療團隊及各位準媽咪們：
我44歲在Taipei IVF畢業囉！
結婚10多年從未懷孕過，在院外人工試管失敗後來到這裡，一開始就被溫馨舒適的氛圍所吸引，諮詢時親切詳盡的分析說明讓我印象深刻。黃醫師一句：「讓我們父子倆一起來幫助妳！」讓我紅了眼眶。仔細看了前院的報告後介紹我再去做更詳盡的免疫檢查，說這叫「超前部署」，沒想到真的檢查出我有甲狀腺球蛋白抗體、甲狀腺過氧化酶抗體過高跟抗磷脂症候群的問題。黃院長看了報告安慰我說我的狀況還好，吃藥就可以控制了，便再介紹我去內分泌科。從此開始了邊取卵邊看免疫與內分泌科三方互相配合的日子。
因年紀染色體異常機率高，討論後決定做pgs，第一次取卵6顆，有4顆受精並全都培養成囊胚，可惜能p的都異常。第二次也都異常…黃醫師看我沮喪的樣子，安慰我：「該上岸了！好的那顆要出來了！」用考試來做比喻，已做了萬全的準備，剩下的就是等上岸。院長的話莫名的安慰到我，於是收拾心情做第三次取卵。這次過的只有一顆鑲嵌型胚胎，院長說可植入，若著床成功也代表胚胎在子宮內修復成功。然後居然成功了！
目前寶寶非常健康的成長著，希望大家不要放棄任何胚胎！
每次來到這裡護理師們總是微笑的說「祝妳好孕」，讓人覺得溫馨與祝福；黃院長溫暖的鼓勵，總讓人能放下心中的不安與焦慮。
求子路每人走來都有各自的艱辛，但仍要保持著樂觀與信心，相信醫師，相信自己。願大家都能心想事成好孕到。
