Repeated Failed in IVF, Egg Bank Help Me Get A Baby
Repeated Failed in IVF, Egg Bank Help Me Get A Baby

In the beginning, we hoped that we could do the treatment on our own, and reduce the cost by not going through an agent, so we chose Taiwan for the treatment. We initially chose to perform treatment in other hospitals in Taiwan. But that hospital was unable to ensure the number of eggs retrieved by the donor. The number of eggs the donor retrieved the first time was not as high as expected, so the donor did two egg retrievals. We were so disappointed about the result. We ended up with two transfers, we spent twice as much time and money, and even though we ended up with three embryos, we still couldn't get pregnant. We were very disappointed that we planned to end the fertility treatment, but I didn't want to give up and tried to convince my husband. Therefore, we started our treatment in Stork Fertility Center last year (2017). Fortunately, the consultant of Stork was able to communicate in fluent Japanese and answer our trivial questions. We received the doctor's instructions through the consultant, therefore we went to Stork for the first consultation smoothly. There are very luxurious hotel-like rooms in Stork. We stayed in that room for one night, and an airport shuttle took us directly to the hospital. The doctor is very gentle and cheerful. The doctor answered all of our questions based on medical evidence, so we can continue our treatment with peace of mind. After the initial consultation, the consultant notified a donor who met our expectations by mail. The donor provided us with 20 frozen eggs, which were fertilized and cultured into 11 embryos. Based on my physical condition, the doctor prescribed implanted medicine to me. During the implantation cycle, I did not have to fly to Taiwan. I had my endometrial thickness confirmed and blood values drawn at the hospital in Japan, and finally let the stork doctor decide the date of implantation. After the transfer, I stayed in bed, and although the doctor said I did not need to stay in bed. I know I'm a little overwrought, but I think it's better to be cautious. After returning to Japan, the counselor also emailed several times to confirm that I had taken the right medication. When I checked at the Japanese hospital and confirmed that I was pregnant, I was convinced that the multiple inspections that done by stork were really necessary.

Worried About Not Seeing Donor Photo in Taiwan
Worried About Not Seeing Donor Photo in Taiwan

I got married very late and found my Mr Right at 39. I started infertility treatment after I got married. However, what is sad was that after 30 egg retrievals and 14 implantations, I still couldn't get pregnant. Just when I felt frustrated that maybe I could only live a childless life with my husband for the rest of my life, I happened to learn that a friend who was more than ten years older than me already had a baby. That friend also did IVF for a long time, and has never been pregnant. I didn't know whether she ended up having a child through adoption or an egg recipient, I still felt envious and happy when I heard the news. At the same time, I read a blog post on the Internet about a netizen who accepted an egg recipient from Taiwan. The netizen was about 50 years old and was undergoing treatment in Taiwan. For me, who doesn't speak English and hates flying, perhaps going to Taiwan would be a more practical way. We have considered the European and USA countries for treatment, but we feel that the intermediary companies are unreliable and suspicious. In contrast, infertility centers in Taiwan do not need to be introduced by an intermediary, and we can communicate directly with hospitals. Additionally, the cost is relatively cheaper. There is even the government that manages donations and recipients, which makes me feel very relieved. At that time, I learned on the Internet about two famous reproductive centers that serve Japanese. I participated in the seminar held by these two, and I contacted them directly. Finally, we choose Stork Fertility Center, and there are several reasons: One is because the Stork has an egg bank,which already reserves the donor's eggs. I don’t need to worry about the donor’s situation being unsatisfactory. Furthermore, the doctor gave me the impression of being steady and honest.In addition, my counselor, her meticulous care was also the reason why I chose.She always considered my nervous personality. She was afraid that I would take the wrong medicine. She would give me reminders and suggestions via phone or email every time. Thank her very much. The most worth mentioning is the EGG BANK.At that time, my husband and I had talked about: "This should be a shortcut to pregnancy!" If so, we took the name of the born child a year after attending the seminar. The egg bank is really very efficient! There are a lot of items that must be checked when first visiting. Although it is very troublesome, it makes me feel safer before undergoing the implantation operation. We can’t look at the photo of a donor before accepting the egg recipient program in Taiwan. So many people said it would be anxiety. Yes, it causes anxiety. But I think it would be okay. Among the conditions of hope I mentioned, the donor has the same blood type as mine, and her height and weight are similar to mine. The consultant also said that the donor feels very similar to me. After the baby was born, it was cuter than I thought. My parents-in-law have five grandchildren. They also said that my child is the cutest one! Once I became unconfident because I couldn't have children, and I also repelled deep friendships with others. Since the birth of my child, in order to show others how cute my child is, I have become very active to go out to socialize and become a self-confident woman. People who are currently undergoing infertility treatment in Japan may not consider any treatment other than self-egg. But if you are unable to accept a life without children anyway, you may consider the option of "egg recipient program". I have no blood relationship with this child, but maybe it was me that had been pregnant for 10 months, the child is closer to me than the father who is related by blood! #Egg Donation#Overseas IVF *This article only reflects the treatment status at the time of writing, and the actual situation should be discussed with the doctor.

How Could I be A Mom After Menopause in 20
How Could I be A Mom After Menopause in 20

About three years ago, my husband and I heard the term “ Egg Recipient” for the first time. Before we took the egg recipient for IVF, we had experienced a lot of painful things, and we shed a lot of tears. We even thought about adopting a child. We thought if the child doesn’t have my genes, then is it best not to have a blood relationship with both of us? My husband and I had discussed it for a long time, and finally decided to take the egg recipient program. The reason for taking this move was that I wanted to give birth to a child of my husband and raise him as an adult. In terms of biology, my child and I are not related by gene. However, after all, it is me that gave birth after ten months of pregnancy! I really want to experience the process of pregnancy and having a baby. What would it be like? Since learning about the "egg recipient program", we have checked a lot of information. Japanese law doesn’t approve of this project, so if you want to take this in Japan, it will take a lot of time and money just to evaluate and check qualifications at the early stage. Because the evaluation is too strict, even after passing the assessment, it may take several years and I may grow into an advanced maternal age unknowingly. As soon as I heard that there is a possibility of pregnancy termination at an advanced pregnancy age, I became anxious. Accepting an egg donation doesn’t necessarily lead to pregnancy. Even if you get pregnant successfully, you may not be able to continue your pregnancy, and you may not even be able to give birth to your baby safely. These risks aren’t just because of egg recipients, but because IVF has its own risks. However, even with so many risks, we still want to give it a try. At that time, I strongly believed that if I didn't do it, I would definitely regret it. We went to two hospitals’ seminars of egg recipients in Japan, one of which was the Stork Fertility Center. We were redeemed by what the doctor said. In fact, my husband was still hesitant, so I took him to the seminar in order to persuade him. What the doctor said on the stage deeply touched my husband's heart. He started to face and think positively, and finally we gave birth to the baby safely. For us, this is a very meaningful thing. We are very happy! Although I still have the idea of "This child does not have my genes", but more importantly, this child grew up in my belly. It was a lovely child who was born after my ten-month pregnancy with abdominal pain. This has not changed and beyond doubt. In the future, I will truthfully tell my kid about the egg recipient. We decided to reveal it to the child slowly when he/she is not sensible, and when he learns more and more, we will explain it to him very carefully. I would like to thank the donor who dedicated precious eggs to us in this article. Thank you, thanks to your loving donation, we can have a son/daughter. I will tell the kid about you. I will tell him/her: "This girl doesn't even know the names of mom and dad, but she is willing to help us." Thank you so much. We are very happy. Thank you for what you gave us. I know that there will be a lot of trials from now on, but the three of us will go through it hand in hand. Next, I want to tell the couple who are still hesitating whether to take the egg recipient program. The project does have two side opinions. My parents-in-law were opposed at first, but now they are very happy to see their grandson/granddaughter and look forward to the child's growth. No matter how, this child is our treasure. There are few people like me who have menopause in their 20s. I used to suffer terribly because I couldn't have my own children, but now I am very happy. Thanks to the support of the Stork Fertility Center, I can have such happiness. Thank you all. After the child grows up, I want to take him/her on a trip to Taiwan, so that you all can see how he grows up. #Egg Donor Recipient Program#Egg Donation *This article only reflects the treatment status at the time of writing, and the actual situation should be discussed with the doctor.

Premature Ovarian Failure How To Get Pregnant
Premature Ovarian Failure How To Get Pregnant

I am A-Cheng from Hong Kong. After I married my wife A-Yin, we have always wanted a baby. We have tried so many years to no avail. After that, we went to several private hospitals in Hong Kong, also went to Chinese medicine practitioners, and ate various nutritional products. Two years ago, my wife's menstruation had been inaccurate due to her age. We all insisted on thinking about the good side. Although we are getting older, we will still have the same opportunities as other elderly couples. However, it is still stressful for A-Yin and I facing disappointment again and again. One day, A gynecologist told us that my wife's ovaries are close to menopause. The chance of success in IVF is very low, and the course of treatment will cause further damage to the ovaries. I felt very painful, but I also needed to comfort my tearful wife, “It doesn't matter, we should still have a way…” After that time, I tried to understand the latest information of IVF, including the development of three generation IVF. Stork Fertility Center has an individualized treatment design, and tailors the most appropriate ovulation induction treatment according to the status of the individual's ovarian inventory. With a professional doctor and a good reputation, I made a call to the Hong Kong Office of Stork (Temporary Closed). I recounted the situation of myself and my wife, hoping that stork could help us. I soon received an email from the Taiwanese consultant. The consultant quickly followed up on our situation and patiently answered the questions I raised. At the same time, she also provided some information about the center. The journals of Stork Fertility Center state many couples have persisted in chasing children for many years like us. After all the hardships, they have their own babies. After reading these stories, I was very moved. One day, the consultant suggested that we take part in an IVF seminar which Stork held in Hong Kong. Doctor’s introduction might help us. My wife and I went there on time that day. The doctor's professional introduction of reproductive technology deeply moved me and my wife. After that, my wife and I had the opportunity to ask the doctor for advice. After learning about the wife’s situation, the doctor answered all our questions and told us the best treatment plan based on the wife’s situation. Thanks to the doctor’s cordial words and professional attitude, my wife and I dispelled our doubts and were full of hope for the future. After that, the consultant and I continued to communicate via email and phone. After considering all aspects, we decided to go to Taiwan for the first consultation and examination. First time entering the Stork Taipei Center, and I saw a lot of artworks and spacious halls, which gave people a relaxed feeling. The colleagues I met, who were kind and polite, made us and my wife feel warm. Recalling that my wife and I had a lot of worries and questions throughout the course of treatment, I am especially grateful to the consultant for being able to answer patiently. Through email and telephone communication, many questions and worries of my wife and I have been eliminated. I am also very grateful to the doctors in charge of our cases for their professional attitude and kind words. I was particularly impressed by the clip: First of all, we know that there are healthy embryos. It is like waiting until the moment when the exam result is released when I am a student, and I can finally relax. Another exciting moment was when we were in Hong Kong. We saw the beating heart of the fetus. It's so unforgettable. Finally, we got our beautiful and healthy baby this year. Not only my wife and I, but also the two families are very joyful. During the day, I had to take care of my wife and baby after work. It was a bit harder, but my heart was full of joy. More than half a year later, I sometimes looked at my sleeping son and couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek. I really want to say thank you to Stork, every consultant and doctor who helped me. I have always wanted to share our story with couples who have encountered the same difficulties as us. Hope our story can help you.

Tips and process of Lucky IVF from Taiwan
Tips and process of Lucky IVF from Taiwan

My husband and I came from Hong Kong, went to Stork for IVF treatment starting in 2019. We were so lucky that we got a baby on our first try. So we would like to share our feelings and tips of the process, in order to encourage more people who like us. Why did we choose the IVF treatment? My husband and I got married in 2016. We reached a consensus to have a baby before we married. However, I still don’t get pregnant in 2019, when I am 32. Our friend is almost having their babies, I was getting nervous. We have tried to calculate the ovulation period, but we failed every time. We are efficient people so we search for more methods. And we found that IVF treatments are common and have a high successful rate. We would like to give it a try. My husband and I decided to do IVF, and Taiwan is our top choice because Taiwan is close to Hong Kong. Also, we always have confidence in Taiwan. We joined some seminars of other fertility centers from Taiwan. We finally chose Stork fertility Center, because they are so professional with the whole process and every detail. As I expected, everything was great. We went to Hsinchu center and Taipei center, both places are comfortable. And the staff were so professional. The technology they use is more advanced than I imagined. Whether it is egg retrieval or fertilization, you can see instant photos in the app. It is very advanced and reliable, which is very reassuring. The most difficult part of treatment is about time arrangement. Because we are business people, and we are too busy to have a vacation. So we flew to Taiwan after we got off from work. Moreover, the amount of injections and medicines are more than I thought. I still remember that my belly was bruised from the injection. When my husband gave me the injection, I couldn’t find a place to insert the injection at all. The most memorable thing for me is that I had to get an injection in Hong Kong before I was going to do the egg retrieval. Then I found out that the syringe with medicine had to be refrigerated before the injection, but I didn’t do this. Without this trigger, the medicines and injections I took before will be in vain.I still remember that the night when I discovered it was Sunday, and neither the Taiwan clinic nor the Hong Kong clinic should be not working. Fortunately, I contacted the Taiwan and Hong Kong clinics that night and got a reply, asking me to go to the Hong Kong clinic early tomorrow morning to get the shot. Monday morning I rushed to the clinic, and there was a meeting at work at the same time. I clearly remember that I was in the meeting on the phone while rushing to do the injection on the belly. Fortunately, the plan was not missed in the end and I went to Taiwan for egg retrieval. Finally, I want to share some good luck tips to who are ready to do IVF treatment: Do exercise: During the preparation process, I have regular aerobic exercise, such as running or swimming for 30 minutes, to ensure that my blood circulation and metabolism are better. Feet bath: I will soak my feet for 10 to 15 minutes one hour before sleep every day, until I sweat slightly to achieve the effect of warming the uterus. Supplement: 1~2 packs of fish or chicken essence, fish maw essence, Q10, eggs, avocado per day, a relatively high-protein and nutritious diet. Relax: I remember that I was very relaxed after the transfer, walking around and going to the night market, which may also be a factor for the success. So happy that the baby is now two years old! very healthy! The growth curve has been maintained above 90% (it should be the credit of PGS^—^) I wish you all a good pregnancy! #IVF3.0#IVF3.0 Plus#Overseas IVF *This article only reflects the treatment status at the time of writing, and the actual situation should be discussed with the doctor.

Final IVF Treatment Failed, Turn Into Egg Recipient Program
Final IVF Treatment Failed, Turn Into Egg Recipient Program

I was married at 32. Regarding pregnancy, I have always thought that let it slide, and the baby will come naturally when the time comes. But after 35, I still haven't been pregnant. Then, I went to the clinic for infertility treatment and worked at the same time. I was 37 years old when the infertility treatment officially started. After 3 years of treatment in Japan, three hospitals were also changed. My AMH (ovarian inventory) was only 0.02 which was about very low, and I just realized that the number of my eggs was not enough. I was told by this hospital: “If I don’t get treatment as soon as possible, I am afraid that I will stop ovulating soon. The treatment must speed up.” I was shocked at the moment and accidentally caused my family members to be affected by my anxiety and restlessness. There was no time to sort out my mood, and I went directly to various examinations and treatments. Because of my low ovarian inventory, I need to retrieve eggs every menstrual cycle, and only two eggs can be retrieved each time. I not only need to take injections for about two weeks every month but also need to go back to the clinic almost every day. It’s really hard to balance work and infertility treatment. Even though I continue to receive treatment, there have been no good results. I often cried at night alone. I think over “Am I really unable to get pregnant?” again and again. I also thought about adoption as well. There is a sound from the bottom of my heart that makes me couldn’t give up, “I want to give birth for my husband.” I found information about the “Egg Recipient Program” from Stork Fertility Center in Taiwan, and also visited their website. Attracted by their high pregnancy rate, I quickly decided to contact them. Their consultants could communicate in Japanese, and I got their reply quickly. Although, I felt a little bit anxious due to rare information about the “Egg Recipient Program” in Japan. But I still have hope and expectation. We followed the instructions given by Stork, prepared all the documents in Japan, and flew to Taiwan, visit the Stork Fertility Center. The overall impression of the Stork is very bright and clean. My uneasy emotions have been wiped out, and I am being treated in Taiwan without any suspense. Maybe I am not sure whether I can carry out the treatment and all my feelings are written on my face. No matter the doctor or Japanese consultants, they all have a smile, encouraging me and explaining the treatment carefully, so that I can take overseas medical treatment with peace of mind. The examination was only mildly painful, and it ended soon. For me, the treatment in Taiwan doesn’t affect work at all. Before the first implantation, the ERA examination found that my implantation window was different from others. Although it didn’t succeed the first time. But after the second implantation, there were two lines on the pregnancy test stick. I couldn't believe it. I confirmed the pregnancy test several times.I think I can get pregnant smoothly because the advance of the pre-check had done enough, that’s why I found the cause of infertility. At 41, I gave birth to my child successfully, and my husband’s family members are also very happy. The child looks so much like my husband. I am writing while the child is 1 month old, and I can’t help crying when I look at my kid’s angelic sleeping face. If I hadn't had a child, it would be impossible to taste such happiness. I would like to thank the donor and every colleague who works in Stork. Thanks! #Egg Donor Recipient Program#Patient Testimonial *This article only reflects the treatment status at the time of writing, and the actual situation should be discussed with the doctor.

Hope Fertility & PGT Center——Clients from the USA with a thick medical record but with perseverance successfully got a baby
Hope Fertility & PGT Center——Clients from the USA with a thick medical record but with perseverance successfully got a baby

Hope guards your bliss over a span of 12000 kilometers Two-month old Lucas has black hair. He wields his fists in the air and giggles. Lucas’s parents are from Taiwan. For the sake of the father's career, they settled down in the USA. The wife worked as a teacher in a kindergarten, taking great care of a group of kids. She loved children so much that she wished one of them could be her own kid. However, her expectation never came true. The couple had consulted many specialists around everywhere yet in vain. Eventually, they heard about a Director Chan in Taiwan who might offer them good news. This journey covered a span of more than 12,000 kilometers. Nevertheless, they were willing to undertake anything as long as they could fulfill their dream. This journey proved to be a most precious short cut. Lucas’s mom still remembers vividly the first time she came to Hope Fertility & PGT Center. Director Chan spent a great deal of time discussing with them. She remarked, " Director Chan was the first obstetrician that spared no trouble looking into all my medical record at great length." At that moment, she was determined to seek the help of Doctor Chan and tried again. The thick medical record exemplifies her painstaking experience in numerous medical treatments attempting to conceive a child. She has immune system related diseases which affect the implantation of embryos. When the immune system judges that the embryo is a foreign substance, it will resist it, making it difficult for the embryo to implant and stay in the uterus. The couple chose to undergo chromosome examination and faced every opportunity with caution. In October 2022, with the efforts of Hope’s professional team, the embryo was successfully implanted. All the endeavor brought about sweet fruit. As the pregnancy was stable, Lucas’s mom went back to the USA to labor. Despite being separated by the Pacific Ocean, Hope's concern never failed. Our consultants regularly monitored the conditions of the mother-to-be. In July 2023, after 38 weeks of pregnancy, she gave birth to a baby in the USA. To our excitement, Lucas was a healthy baby that weighed 4,345 grams. Both the mother and the child were in great physical condition. Hope Fertility & PGT Center extends a cordial welcome to couples who desire kids. Let Hope function as your initial step in parenthood and accompany you and your babies throughout the whole procedure. Hope Fertility & PGT Center will always stand here as a guardian for your happiness.
