We’ve been married for five years, and tried various kinds of methods and examinations, failing to find the cause. Eating secret recipes and traditional Chinese medicine, artificial insemination, praying for God and so on, but all failed. Why I was unable to conceive! Remembered one time I asked a Chinese doctor about my physical conditions, and he answered, “As long as you are pregnant that means you have a good physical condition”. Actually, in his stand, the medicine he prescribed was to adjust physical condition, and he judged the adjustment method in accordance with his profession. But when you have tried every method and do not know what should try any more, the doctor would not know how to answer your questions any more. And what we were supposed to do when that happened? Did the god will tell us?
Right, we certainly could go to the god, and Doctor Hung-Chi Chang was the god, a “god for creating a life”. On a visit to other’s website, I saw a mother’s experience for conception, which was the same as me, tried various but all failed. But when she decided to visit Doctor Hung-Chi Chang in China Medical University Hospital, her heart was filled with the hope that she never had for the past several years, and finally got pregnant. Dr. Chang welcomed his commitments to achieve pregnancy in the most simple and nature way. Heavy set alight the hope again in my heart when I saw this, together with a good number of successful cases from Dr. Chang in the Internet, and I decided to visit him next month.
On the sixth day after the end of MC, I went to China Medical University Hospital on June 5th (Saturday). The young Dr. Chang was very American style, and I was no nervous at all in the consultation. After understanding what we had done before, he comforted us and said to us: if each body function is normal, we will be successfully pregnant after adopting his therapy. In fact, we had already made our mind to come to him. So we just simply took the injection cylinder and medicine and then back home, totally two pieces of menotropins. We made an appointment to see the ovum size on June 9th, and egg and sperm retrieval on June 11th, and then we went back home to wait for the news. Totally 3 ova were extracted at that day. Soon it was June 12th 6/12 (Saturday) afternoon, and the hospital called and said that there was only one out of three ova was normally fertilized and split. One ovum only had two sperms and the other had quality problem. So he suggested us to try again next time to extract more ova, so that the success rate would be higher! After the detailed discussion and thinking, due to the work that we could not always ask for leave, we decided to implant this time and told our decision to hospital. So the hospital arranged the implantation for us on June 13th afternoon.
With great expectation and intense mood, I came to the hospital. And then, Dr. Chang was very considerate to tell us the situations of the three ova, and explained why there was only one ovum could be implanted. He also let me see the splitting of my own normal fertilized ova through microscope. Splitting from 5 to 6, how amazing! It was my first time to see my eggs in dividing.
After the implanting operation, doctor said resting for 2 hours was enough, but we wanted to be more cautious, and we got nothing to do that afternoon, so I laid in bed from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. And next what we could do was to wait. The wait took a long time and any change in your body could make you cranky. The hospital arranged the pregnancy test after 15 days of the implantation, but I could not wait for that long. So I went to hospital for the test on the eighth day, but got nothing. A little disappointment and a little scared. My husband even lectured me after I told him and he told me not to be worried. So on the 15th day, when my husband just went to work, I could not wait any more. MY GOD! I got it, deep two lines, Oh! God bless, I finally got my second line for those years, and I couldn’t wait to tell, who was still in waiting for the train. Heard from me about “I got it”, he also couldn’t be more pleased, and we ultimately realized our dream.
I went back to hospital to do inspection on July 3rd. because the embryo was too small, the position could not be confirmed. But the indexes of blood test were all good, and Dr. Chang also congratulated my pregnancy with a smile, and even shared the joy with every one present… Baby’s heartbeat could be felt on July 17th. Looking at the small flashing dots and hearing the heartbeat, the doctor was very pleased to congratulate us, and asked us to get mom handbook. As the moment we got, my husband and I looked at each other with the tacit understanding, and I responded to him in my heart, “I gonna be a mother!”
Really thank you, Dr. Chang! And we also appreciated the helps from Medical Team and nurses in the Reproductive Medicine Centre.
