Success Story No.25

JC has never read or even heard of my blog. She was requested by a VIP to contribute. The VIP has requested her to contribute couple of years ago and reminded her to contribute again recently.

The VIP wanted her to share her story in order to send out the following message:-

" DO NOT GIVE UP AFTER JUST ONE ROUND OF FAILED IVF"

Here is JC's story. She was young and no family history of infertility issue but just could not conceive. After some tests and scans, her doctor recommended her laparoscopy and found out that one of her tube has some problem. She was eager to get pregnant and decided to go ahead with IVF. She started with a big bang with 22 eggs retrieval and 14 were fertilised.

At 1st round, 2 embryos were implanted. A week later, she has high fever and it was dengue. The embryos were not able to survive this high temperature.

At 2nd round, 2 enbryos were implanted again. Then, she got a positive result but the blood test shown low HCG level and was requested to have a re-test few days later. Unfortunately, few days later she had a miscarriage due to ectopic pregnancy.

You could have imagine the emotional stress going through her from the 1st incident and now with the 2nd incident and with the thought that she will never have a baby.

Few months later, she was ready again for her 3rd round. We need to praise her for a never give up spirit here!

And this round, it is a POSITIVE and a few week later, during the first scan, 1st time ever she can see and hear, what she terms as the "most beautiful sound in the world" - the baby's heart beat.

Again, another amazing story!!

Success Story No.23

CP is a relative of my friend. She has 2 miscarriages and longing for a baby but phobia with the miscarriage history. Most of her family members do not support her idea of trying to get pregnant with her history, her diet (vegetarian) and  financial situation. My friend is a relative to CP and knew about my issue and journey and manage to convince CP to make a visit to Dr.P for a 'diagnosis'. 

CP mainly suffers from PCOS problem with her irregular period and after consulting Dr.P, the way forward seems to be IVF. There was a few little hiccups but finally she got pregnant and expecting soon.
