【Lee Women’s Hospital】8 years of waiting, Filipino couple finally embrace their daughter

Lee Women’s Hospital Last Update:2023-06-30

'I thought it was impossible, but Dr. Lee made it possible''

Imee has been married for 8 years and has never been pregnant.
She went to the OB for an examination and found that both of her fallopian tubes were blocked. As a result, surgery was required to remove them.
Afterward, she attempted one IVF treatment, but out of 8 egg retrievals, only 1 egg was successfully retrieved. Unfortunately, this treatment ended in failure.
Later on, after hearing a friend's successful story of having babies throuhg IVF at Lee Women's Hospital, Imee started considering the option of seeking fertility treatment internationally.
After a year of careful consideration, Imee and her husband boarded a flight to Taiwan in 2018.

During this treatment, Imee successfully obtained 4 embryos and had them frozen. However, one of the embryos did not implant successfully after being transferred.
To identify the cause of the failed implantation, Dr. Maw-Sheng, Lee (李茂盛院長) conducted a comprehensive examination and discovered that Imee had immune issues.
In the subsequent two cycles of egg retrieval, Imee collected 7 high-quality embryos. However, during this time, the COVID-19 pandemic broke out.
They were forced to stop all treatments and had to freeze the embryos, which resulted in a wait of two and a half years.
In 2022, as the pandemic situation improved, Imee returned to Lee Women's Hospital.
This time, Dr. Lee implanted two embryos, along with immunotherapy, to ensure successful embryo implantation.

Two weeks after the implantation, Imee finally received the first positive pregnancy test in her life.
When Imee heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time, 8 years of waiting and hardship vanished.
It's delightful to hear that Imee's baby was born successfully in January, and she is a lovely baby girl.
Imee wish to encourage everyone with her own experience,
‘For people who wants to get pregant, don't lose hope.
Just com to Taiwan and see Dr. Lee, because he's the one who made it possible.'
