【NUWA】From Advanced-Age Preparation to a Smooth Delivery — Hong Kong Successful Case
At age 40, Ms. L from Hong Kong finally welcomed her adorable baby. After trying to conceive for three years without success, she became pregnant in less than a month this time. Ms. L recalled that during Lunar New Year 2024, as she gathered with family and friends, she was repeatedly asked, “When are you having a baby?” What they didn’t know was that she and her husband had already been trying to conceive in silence for three years—with no good news. She had also undergone surgery for uterine fibroids the previous year, and by age 39, the pressure to have a child became very real. Knowing she had tried naturally for three years and had the surgery, Ms. L immediately sought consultations with several fertility clinics in Hong Kong right after the New Year. A friend then recommended a fertility seminar happening in March hosted by a Taiwanese fertility center, asking if she’d like to attend. That friend had undergone IVF treatment at that same center and was now close to giving birth. Curious, Ms. L decided to attend with an open mind. In mid-March, after attending the seminar and having a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Po-Wei Chu, Ms. L learned about the advanced embryo lab technology, treatment costs, and flexible cross-border treatment options at Taiwan’s NUWA Fertility Center. She decided to begin treatment during her April menstrual cycle. In May, she completed her egg retrieval and embryo transfer. To her surprise, her HCG test soon confirmed pregnancy. By April 2025, at the next fertility seminar in Hong Kong, Ms. L returned with her baby to share her journey, hoping to encourage other couples trying to conceive: seize the timing—there’s no need to wait! The First Step Toward Successful Pregnancy: Preconception Checkups Are Essential! Generally, if a couple has regular unprotected intercourse for a year without conceiving, it’s considered infertility, and fertility evaluations are recommended. For women over 35, if pregnancy hasn't occurred after six months, it’s best to begin testing. This is because ovarian function declines with age, and early diagnosis helps to make the most of your fertile years. ● Female Fertility Checkups 1. Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH): Assesses ovarian reserve. A higher number suggests more eggs, though it doesn't directly reflect pregnancy chances. 2. Ultrasound: Checks the antral follicle count (AFC), endometrial thickness, and whether there are fibroids or polyps. 3. Hormone Testing: Includes FSH, LH, E2, PRL, and TSH to evaluate ovulation and hormonal balance. 4. Fallopian Tube Patency Test: Via ultrasound or HSG to determine if the tubes are blocked. 5. Hysteroscopy: Direct visualization of the uterine cavity to detect and treat polyps, septa, inflammation, etc. ● Male Fertility Checkup Semen analysis: Measures sperm count, motility, and morphology to assess fertility potential. What’s Next After the Checkup? Consider Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), based on test results. Options may include: ✅ Medication: Ovulation induction drugs to improve the chances of conception. ✅ Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): Suitable for couples with open tubes and mild male factor issues. ✅ In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): For blocked tubes, reduced ovarian function, or poor sperm quality. Improve Lifestyle Habits — Have you done these? ✅ Keep a regular schedule and sleep early to stabilize hormones. ✅ Quit smoking and drinking to protect egg and sperm quality. ✅ Reduce stress — it affects ovulation and sperm motility, so relaxation matters! Why Choose IVF in Taiwan? Compared to Mainland China and Hong Kong, Taiwan offers more affordable IVF treatments, flexible scheduling, and efficient clinic visits—ideal for overseas patients. Ms. L’s treatment used a hormone replacement (HRT) cycle for embryo transfer, allowing her to choose the timing flexibly, reduce clinic visits, and improve implantation rates—ultimately leading to a successful pregnancy! A Breakthrough IVF Journey in Taiwan NUWA’s medical team optimized Ms. L’s ovarian stimulation plan, retrieving 16 eggs and forming 10 blastocysts. Through Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS), two embryos were biopsied—both healthy. One was transferred, resulting in a successful pregnancy! NUWA’s “batch PGS testing” system also allows families to test embryos in phases, reducing upfront costs and lessening the financial burden of treatment. At the seminar, Ms. L left this message: “The best time to prepare is now. The best place for IVF is NUWA in Taiwan.” Conclusion: If you're struggling with fertility, why not talk to the specialists at NUWA? If visiting in person isn’t feasible, online consultations are also available.
