A story of a couple thousand miles apart, I was praying to have a baby, I never gave up.
“I didn’t actually think about it too much, and just try it!” Talking about infertility which was bothering years, Ms. Zhang, with medical background, expressed her thought. Her husband is from European, and they were used to live in a beautiful city in Europe. She must come back to Taiwan due to work four years ago, and her husband came to Taiwan with her. In the expectation to have a baby, she was used to have a natural pregnancy, but found that the baby did not have heartbeat eight weeks later. She was reluctant to accept the abortion, but she did not expect that she fell into the nightmare of infertility ever since.
Believing in science, they began seeking medical treatment actively, accepting a series of Infertility inspections, but failed to find out reasons. She did several times of artificial inseminations and test-tube baby tries, but the expectation had dashed again and again. “Physical pain is nothing to me, but the psychological pressure is the greatest torment.” The heartfelt words spoken out by Ms. Zhang had told voice from a lot of infertile women. “Every time I am uncomfortable about seeing MC come again in toilet, and I feel like I am about to weep, but I fail to shed a tear….” “Woman’s age is a very harsh reality, and I am already an elderly parturient woman, so I cannot afford to wait any more!” With medical background, she naturally knew that the function of giving birth would definitely be recessed with the age, so even if she failed again and again, she still chose to confront bravely. Where there is hard work, there is a hope.
At that moment, she heard from two different person of Director Hung-Chi Chang of China Medical University Hospital Reproductive Medicine Centre. One was her teacher and the other one was she classmate. Then she searched on Internet about the data of Director Chang, and also carefully browsed the blog of Director Chang. “Nature Cycle Treatment” and “Simple Stimulating Treatment” mentioned in many reports seemed different from her understanding of traditional test-tube baby treatment course in the past. When she knew that director Hung-Chi Chang once was a full-time scientist for 6 years in famous New York University Reproductive Medicine Centre, as well as his outstanding research results in the field of Reproductive Medicine in the past few years, a light flashed in the bottom of her heart, and the intuition told her, “This is the man (whom) I’m looking for!”
After going to Director Hung-Chi Chang’s clinic and carefully evaluating all conditions, they made their mind to accept “Simple Stimulating Treatment” soon. Facing Ms. Zhang’s realistic European husband, Director Chang used a fable to simile the concept of Nature Cycle Treatment in fluent English, “if you sit under an apple tree and want to eat the most mature and just good apple, you can choose to cut down the whole tree, and then select every single apple from the fallen tree; or, you can just simply try to shake the lower braches, and then eat one or two fallen mature apples.” The European husband broke into laughter, and he clearly understood the Director Hung-Chi Chang’s approach which was different from other doctor’s had a scientific basis.
“Comparing to other hospitals where I had done test tube, professional team of Reproductive Medicine Centre is truly different in rigor and profession, making me feel very at ease.” Perhaps it was under such an assurance that the embryo had smoothly implanted in her womb. Knowing of being pregnant, the woman, who was always strong, could not help being moved to tears. Being pregnant at the age of 38, Ms. Zhang finally finished the infertility road that she had walked for nearly 10 years. “I have never given up hope, and I just made it!” Her never give up story has encouraged the infertile couples to face the problem and seek appropriate treatment actively. Where there is hard work, there is a hope.
