Are you ready to face IVF?

  Time flies, in a blink of an eye, my IVF baby is already more than 70 days old, and all the people say that the baby is so cute. Every time, when I hear everyone’s praise for the baby, I will think of all the things I have experienced in the six months I have been seeking medical treatment in Jiuyuan Hospital, and my heart will be full of gratitude when I think of the kind and friendly Dr. Fu.  I am a 37 year old mother. When I was diagnosed with bilateral blockage of fallopian tubes plus umbilical adhesions in 2009, my husband and I saw many Chinese doctors, took a lot of Chinese herbs, and also made an appointment with a specialist at the National Women’s and Children’s Hospital to have a guidewire, but all ended in failure. In the end, we gave up, maybe we don’t have a chance to have children in this life, maybe in the end, the sunset, only we two old couple with the old life. In fact, I have always been grateful to my husband who accompanied me and my in-laws who insisted on giving me the decoction, they never blamed me for anything, which made me more determined to have a baby to make up for our regret.  After being introduced by a friend, I found the ninth hospital and Dr. Fu by name. Truthfully, the first time I went to the assisted reproduction department on the seventh floor, I saw so many sisters like me waiting in line in the corridor, and I was relieved that it was because technology is more and more advanced now that sisters like us can have the opportunity to regain the right to be a mother through our own efforts.  After asking about my situation, Dr. Fu said in his first sentence, “You still have a lot of hope, just try hard, so I ran the nine hospitals again and again, the first time to get 6 eggs, fertilization 4, only 2 can be used, the rest sent to raise the capsule, one did not raise, really, the heart is really not good, that is first transplant once, or then take, this problem I asked Dr. Fu, because I am older, may not be able to In fact, in the corridor, many sisters advised me, why not try once, maybe it will become a success, at this critical time, my husband advised me, you have to believe in Dr. Fu’s professionalism, do not be capricious, in case the first transplant does not work, but also to let the uterus rest, but delayed. I thought it was right, so I faced the huge hardship of retrieving eggs again.  During this period, I asked Dr. Fu if I could do anything during this month of rest, and Dr. Fu read my BC chart and felt that my uterine environment was not very good and suggested that I could go for a hysteroscopy first. The first time I hesitated, I did not transplant anything, go to suffer a time, there is no need for this? “If you go to the hospital, you have to listen to the doctor, this is the most important thing you should do as a patient, otherwise why do you need a doctor?” My husband woke me up with a strong scolding, so in March after the first egg retrieval in February, I had a hysteroscopy done by Dr. Zhang at the Ninth Hospital, and sure enough, as Dr. Fu diagnosed, I had some adhesions in my uterus, and Dr. Zhang gave me an IUD. The second time, I got 6 fertilizations, 3 special, 1 secondary, and 2 cysts, and I also got one, plus the two secondary eight-cell ones I got the first time, I had 6 frozen babies and 1 cyst.  The first time I really did not report any hope, I thought, I still have so many frozen treasure, what is the hurry, as expected, the first transplant failed, 14 days blood test, HCG only 0.2, see around the sister did not succeed in tears, I was unusually calm, yes, I am 36 I was very calm, yes, I am 36 years old, it is normal to be unsuccessful. I showed my labs to Dr. Fu, hoping to hear his advice, and he said that all my indicators were good and he felt sorry for me, so I should continue with the transplant next month. The second transplant in July, I switched to the injection, 2000 units a shot, this time I started to test every day from the injection two days before the transplant and did not tell anyone, including my mother, about the transplant again. I watched TVB soap operas every day, lazed in bed, went to IVF forums, wrote my IVF diary, and that’s how day by day, one early pregnancy test strip and pregnancy test pen after another, I got the baby I’ve been waiting for.  Looking back on the whole IVF process, it would be a lie to say that it was not hard work. I waited for five hours to see Dr. Fu, but I was happy every time I went there because I knew that every minute I waited was closer and closer to hope and to seeing my baby. I was happy to share my successes and face the pain of failure together.  I think I would like to tell all the sisters a few points, I hope my six-month super lucky IVF road can bring you a little inspiration: 1, to fully trust the doctor Each of our sisters have experienced a variety of road to seek medical treatment, I think many of them are also a long time to become a good doctor, but I still want to say that during the treatment, we should trust their own primary care doctors, because they are more professional than us, more understanding of our cavity. Only by establishing the most basic trust, we can better face this long road of IVF more openly, don’t easily doubt the doctor’s judgment because of one or two failures, the doctor will also adjust step by step according to our situation, they want their patients to succeed more than we do. To put it in a very common way, only when we have fertilized and tilled our own ground and organized it well, together with good selected seeds, can our seedlings take root and grow strong. Good seeds and good ground these two things are indispensable, anxious not at all useful, and do not because of the unsuccessful, the treating doctor’s finger, one or two, everyone’s mindset is broken, but not conducive to the doctor to prescribe the right medicine.  Second, don’t treat yourself as a patient, maintain a good mindset The success of in vitro fertilization comes from a good mindset, people relax, don’t think about anything, but easy to become, I’m a person who is big-hearted, basically belong to the heartless, I always think, this thing I worked hard, as for the results really don’t matter, we pay attention to it in the mind, in the mindset don’t take several times to be successful too seriously. The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the actual results. I was busy with wedding matters throughout my pregnancy, in the third trimester, it happened to be October wedding season, I also stayed up late working overtime, not that I am not careful, I always believe that I am mine, my baby must be the strongest, during this period, I did not miss a wedding I planned, March 22 early before the water broke on March 9, I also completed the last wedding before the birth, happily and partners to say goodbye.  So, Dr. Fu always said that I am the best mentality of his patients, of course, I am also the most obedient, I know that I am lucky and happy, so I took time to write this article, I would like to share this happiness and luck with my sisters, I hope that everyone can hold their own little angel as soon as possible, at the moment of the birth of the child, I believe that all our efforts, all the suffering is I believe that all our efforts and sufferings are worth it, the hard road of IVF is not in vain, there will be this day, every mother will have this day!
