[Egg Recipient Program] Premature Ovarian Failure at 30 Finally Pregnancy in Taiwan
[Egg Recipient Program] Premature Ovarian Failure at 30 Finally Pregnancy in Taiwan

I am 36 now. I recall the hardships I have experienced in the past six years, and finally I had my own child. Look at my sleeping baby, I would like to record this process, kind of to say goodbye to this trip. Premature Ovarian Failure at 30, only can rely on Egg Recipient Program I found I had premature ovarian failure at 30. My AMH result was only 0.06. It really shocked me, I couldn't believe it at first, and finally accepted it. And I started to see doctors around the country. I tried everything and had IVF treatment for 2 year. Due to my premature ovarian failure, it’s hard to get the oocyte, even the good one. Although I was successful once, the baby was found it’s unhealthy at 28 weeks pregnant. I just let it go. After the induction of labor, my premature ovarian failure was even worse. I couldn't bear it any longer. I once thought about giving up. I thought it would be nice to live in a two-person world. Watching the birth of a friend's child. I can't fool myself, I still want a complete life and family with children. In the end, I chose the Egg Recipient Program. The Egg Recipient Program was illegal at that time. I knew some couples faced the same issue and they consulted the black market. But I was worried. Even though it's convenient, I felt insecure about an unmanaged egg bank, so I ended up not going to the black market for treatment. Egg Recipient is legal in Taiwan, that’s why I went to Stork Later I learned that the Egg Recipient Program is legal in Taiwan. After getting to know and being recommended by friends, I finally chose the Stork Fertility Center in Taiwan. In 2018, I started to contact Stork and prepared all the documents needed. I flew to Taiwan for the first visit, and the most important, I began pairing with the egg donor. Soon, I paired the donor after a month. It's a pity that the pairing of Taiwan's Egg Recipient Program is double-blind. We can't see donors’ photos, we can only imagine what the donor's look like through the mouth of the consultant. It’s efficient. So I planned for my next check-up-ERA. That's to make sure my window of implantation opens at a regular time. They make sure everything before implantation, including thrombus indicators. And it found out my D-Dimer is higher. So I have to do heparin injection. Even though it's uncomfortable, I could do anything for my baby. It turns out why not go to Taiwan at the beginning, tossing me for so many years, and making me exhausted. I finished all the procedures in one year: visa, notarization, flight ticket, examination, pick the donor, ERA, implantation. Finally, I gave birth to a lovely baby, and completed my dream. I experienced different treatments between Stork and the hospital in China. There are many people in China, and it is chaotic and long waiting in China. Stork is totally opposite. From the doctor, nurse and assistant, I felt comfortable and pleased. Most importantly, it’s legal center, they follow the Artificial Reproduction Law, serious for every step and procedure. The donor must be healthy before the pairing. Everytime I see my sleeping baby, I always want to say You only have one cell that is not mine, the rest of the billions of cells in your body are all given to you by me. I have suffered all kinds of hardships just to have you, I hope you can grow up healthy, safe and happy. I love you. However, I got through all 6 years to have my baby. I still appreciate that I didn't give up, and I chose Stork. Thanks to the doctors and staff from Stork Fertility Center that complete my life and my family. *This article only reflects the treatment status at the time of writing, and the actual situation should be discussed with the doctor.

My Challenging Journey of IVF at Taiwan
My Challenging Journey of IVF at Taiwan

I didn’t plan my future when I was young, is oocyte donation my only option? I've never heard of the concept of freezing eggs for future use when I was still young. Hong Kong people are known for their hard-working and high living expenses. However, working women are often spending time at work in the golden age for marriage and childbirth. They are often labeled as three-high leftover women (higher age, high educational background, high income). I've been there, no choice but to suffer in silence. Hong Kong looks like a modern, civilized, and open society, but it is still very behind in terms of constitutions such as bachelorettes freezing their eggs. In recent years, some HK celebrities have mentioned their egg freezing treatment overseas. It created some attention in the society of egg freezing. I waited until the age of 41 to come across the concept of egg freezing, embryo freezing. In the meantime, in Taiwan, most high school students learn about it in a science lesson. It highlighted the lack of sex education and moral education in Hong Kong. As for me, I started IUI treatment as soon as I got my marriage certificate. After a failed IUI treatment in Hong Kong, a friend of mine from Taiwan introduced me to a small clinic in Taiwan. I went through two egg retrieval surgeries and three implantation surgeries. Though we had culture 12# Day 3 embryos, the doctor convinced me the outer layer (trophectoderm) is fragile and freeze those instead of culture till day five. I felt like I hit the bottom of my self-esteem. Personalized IVF treatment collecting embryos With an adequate AMH index and decent response after injections, I am not ready to give up yet. At 43, I heard of Doctor O from Stork Fertility Center for the first time from a Shanghainese friend. He carefully reviewed my clinical history and agreed with us. At our first visit, he prescribed a long-acting injection and a few other injections for me to bring back to Hong Kong. I waited for my period to come. I used a long-acting injection on my period day 3, it will last about 4-5 days. unlike traditional IVF treatment, I don't need to do injections every day, it was much easier for me. The result of my first egg retrieval was 17# formed four blastocysts which were very comforting. But based on the fact that only one blastocyst has reached BB grade. And the result of PGS/PGT-A (pre-implantation chromosome screening) showed "abnormal chromosome". Thus I implanted the other two embryos without PGS test. It was like a gamble, and I lost. Doctor O suggested I undergo another retrieval surgery while my ovarian function was still ok. Aimed at collecting embryos. I got 6 BC-grade embryos at last. Some might say transferring BC-grade embryos is gambling with our bodies. But isn't life a gamble? Life's always been a gamble since I was young working overseas, the encounter with my significant half. Desperately, praying for a good pregnancy Considering all factors, I decided to implant four blastocysts at one time! On the one hand, I pray that the transfer will be successful, and on the other hand, I hope my 44-year-old body can be capable of twins or more. Everyone said that the two-week waiting is more painful than the injections and the postoperative. However, after four failed implantations, I was mentally prepared for everything that could happen. Maybe it’s because I didn’t put pressure on myself. I was lucky. I got a positive result for the pregnancy test. I am so thankful for the consultants at Stork. They were very supportive and reminded me of every little detail. I was calm when I saw the result. I was even suspicious while I was waiting for the time to take the ultrasound test. I was truly relieved when I heard the baby's heartbeat in the hospital. My 88-year-old dad shed tears ... It may be because God already knows what I have been experiencing for the last 3 years. He treated me well during the 10 months of pregnancy. I've been a good patient, I took my medicine as the Doctor told me. I experienced zero morning sickness. In my second and third trimesters, I was able to work at home due to the spread of COVID19. At 39 weeks, my baby came to this beautiful world with loud crying. The moment was surely amazing. It feels like a miracle. Stork Fertility Center helped me through the journey. *This article only reflects the treatment status at the time of writing, and the actual situation should be discussed with the doctor.

Mie and Jun went to the same junior high school. Some years later upon meeting again at a class reunion party, they fell in love. Soon they started talking about marriage and life together. They made their plans for the big day, however, shortly before the wedding day, Jun discovered that he had a rare hereditary disease that could potentially impact their future children and life together in a dramatic way. He was not sure what to do, so he asked Mie to make the final decision – they could part ways or decide to spend their life together. She decided that life with Jun was her destiny and that together they would try to overcome their life obstacles. After the wedding, they began to plan their future and family. They recognized that Jun’s hereditary condition would need to be taken into consideration before they could have a child. In an effort to better understand their options, they began seeking reproductive medical advice. Some possible solutions came up – pre-implantation screening - but such procedures were not easy to do in Japan. Many hurdles and processes would need to be overcome. Luckily, through Japan’s Keio University Medical Hospital, the couple found out about Taipei’s Hope Fertility & PGT Center (祈新婦產科-生殖醫學暨胚胎基因檢測). Which they immediately pursued – their journey to seek medical assistance in Taiwan started. In April 2018, Japanese doctors and the Hope Fertility & PGT Center (祈新婦產科-生殖醫學暨胚胎基因檢測). worked together to come up with an IVF treatment plan. After careful consideration of their options, the couple decided to proceed with recommended plan and as a result, healthy embryos were transferred in 2019. In October 2020, Mie was able to give birth to a beautiful healthy baby boy. After two years of hard work, their wish finally came true. Seeing the photos of the baby, I am moved by the courage, determination, and love they had for pursuing this baby - which I deeply admire! ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ Hope Fertility & PGT Center (祈新婦產科-生殖醫學暨胚胎基因檢測) CONTACT US Telephone：+886-2-2361-2800 E-mail：ivfandpgd@gmail.com GETTING HERE：1OF., No. 78, Huaining St., Zhongzheng Dist., Taipei City 100, Taiwan Ｗebsite：http://www.ivfandpgd.com/

【Taipei Fertility Center】Case Sharing from China
【Taipei Fertility Center】Case Sharing from China

Taipei Fertility Center / Case Sharing from China I am from Chongqing , China. I have a similar experience with many women who have experienced infertility treatment. We went back and forth to the hospital for examinations and receiving treatment from traditional Chinese and Western medicine. If I hadn't met Dr. Tzeng, I think I might still undergo treatment. When I first started the artificial reproductive technology treatment, I was concern about the egg retrieval operation and the cost, so before going on an IVF treatment, I chose to do IUI, but failed. At the age of 37, on my friend's advise, I went to Thailand to receive the 3rd-generation IVF treatment. The doctor in Thailand made me went through two time of egg retrievals in one month. However, none of the embryos passed the Preimplantation Genetic Screening. I was extremely sad and wept for more than six months due to the treatment failure. Not until a friend in Taiwan introduced me of Dr. Tzeng., did I decided to give it a try. I came to Taiwan to see Dr. Tzeng when I was 39 years old. Unexpectedly, Dr. Tzeng's treatment plan was a success. After only one IVF treatment in Taiwan, I got pregnant and back to China to wait for my baby to be born. My baby just turned one month when I wrote this. I am very grateful for Dr. Tzeng, who made my dream of becoming a mother come true. I hope my experience can inspire couples who are undergo infertility treatment, and bring courage and strength to everyone. --Patient Experience Chongqing, China. / Miss Zhou Shu, 40 years old.
