Yes, I graduated (which means I am 14 weeks pregnant)! And life walked into a new stage. Looking back on the years of hard work in preparing for pregnancy, it seems that the moment I gave birth to my baby, all the hard work was completely released.

Every holiday I dread receiving concern and greetings

After getting married at 28, just like everyone else, we wanted to live in a world of two people first. After more than a year, I felt that we were ready for a baby, but there was no news every month. Then I slowly began to fall into an infinite cycle of pregnancy preparation.

I first went to the obstetrics and gynecology department to check my uterus, then saw a Chinese medicine doctor and took traditional Chinese medicine, and just like that, I wasted more than a year. During this period, as I watched my friends around me become mothers one by one, I could only swallow all the pain in my heart.

Every CNY and Moon festival, I dread all the relative’s greetings. They care about my belly too much.

Later, my husband and I decided to start with artificial insemination. After two failed artificial insemination attempts, I began to think that pregnancy was really difficult. I did everything I could, but there was still no news. Then I gradually began to close myself off. At that time I didn’t know yet that my heart was getting sick. I started to dislike gathering with friends who have children, I started to stop looking at other people's photos of their children, and I started to lose the ability to listen to my coworkers talk about motherhood.

Encouragement by Chat Group Started IVF Treatment

Finally, I started IVF treatment 3 years ago. My husband and I consulted several fertility centers and chose a well-known hospital. At first, I was stupid. I didn’t prepare anything. I just listened to the doctor’s arrangements. I was taking ovulation injections and retrieving eggs. At that time, I took 14 eggs, 4 of which grew into D5. Rapid implantation of 2 consecutive cycles of embryos, both of which failed. I felt useless and that I had lost everything. I have no interest in the world or anything at all, and the pain in my heart is uncomfortable when I think about it now.

I decided to let time pass through and heal myself to start over again. However, I accidentally joined a chat group that gathers the girls who are trying IVF treatment in Stork Fertility Center. We share many things about life including our emotions. If we have a question about IVF, there are always girls who assist. Then, I started my IVF journey again.

Can’t Get Pregnant in My Life？

When I arrived in Hsinchu for IVF treatment, I was even more serious this time than before, because in the chat group of "Stork", the sisters shared how to take care of eggs and endometrium. After understanding it, the doctor carefully explained the treatment to me and suggested I do the ERA test. Because I had repeated implantation failures history, and it was most likely the transfer at the wrong time.

I began my IVF treatment again. The result of my second retrieval was satisfactory.  I got 17 eggs 11 of which grew into D5. These made me confident, to increase the success rate, I also have a PGT-A test. I checked 2 blastocysts to know which was healthy. Following the doctor’s order, I transfer 1 euploid blastocyst. However, it failed again. I felt very frustrated like I was losing everything. I thought I might not get pregnant in my life. But friends from the chat group encouraged me “ don’t give up”, “cheer up” and “plan after healing the heart”.

Half a year has passed. Last time I thought I was fully prepared, but it still failed. I cheered up and decided to transfer again. This is the fourth embryo transfer in my life. To be honest, I have nothing to lose.  I told myself, the worst is to fail and go back to living with two people again. It’s not a big deal. Besides, I still have a few blastocysts that can be transferred. If I run out of them, let’s talk about it. Anyway, that’s the worst. That’s all.

IVF with dynamic triple detection No More Fear of CNY

I switched to another doctor in Stork. The reason is pretty simple, only because the doctor assisted with my egg retrieval. And after the surgery, I felt the doctor was warm while we talked. I was thinking, maybe if I switched to this doctor then I would get pregnant. When the doctor consulted me before the transfer, he said that I was in good condition and that he had retrieved the eggs at that time. After the conversation, my confidence immediately increased. But I still can’t dream big. After transferring 2 blastocysts, the Doctor arranged for me to re-check the D-Dimer. The reason for this is that a high D-dimer after implantation will affect embryo implantation. Luckily, we passed. On the day of our pregnancy test, we walked into the clinic and the doctor smiled and said congratulations. I finally got the ticket, but the doctor warned me that we had to follow it until we heard the fetal heartbeat. The time is about CNY, and the doctor especially arranged for me to check it before CNY’s eve. We were satisfied after we heard two fetal heartbeats. The doctor smiled at us and said “ You could have a great CNY dinner this year."

Just after I got pregnant, I heard from friends in the chat group that the blastocyst culture technology of Stork is the best in the infertility field. Maybe because of its exclusive technology, my blastocysts were more than I first retrieved. After getting pregnant, I passed all the prenatal checkups and gave birth to my twin babies safely. As I am still in the postpartum care month, I would like to come here quickly to give some confidence to everyone who is still preparing for pregnancy.
