Getting married and having children is a journey that almost every family has to go through, but some couples have reached the age of childbearing, but they can't have their own babies for a long time, and having babies as parents has become a luxury.
In medicine, couples who have not had contraception for more than one year and have not successfully conceived are defined as infertile. The data shows that about 10% to 15% of couples of childbearing age are affected by this problem.
Nowadays, medical technology is developed, and even if fertility encounters obstacles, it can still be conceived through other means, such as IVF technology. However, the real implementation is not simple, and the hardships of the process are lamentable: too sad!
Post-90s couple's heartache IVF history: 16 follicles are removed at a time, and the husband is in the next room to retrieve sperm
Xiaoye (pseudonym) and her husband married early, and now they have been married for 7 years, the couple respect each other as guests, there is no sense of "seven years of itch", the fly in the ointment is that the wife has never been able to get pregnant.
Seeing that they were getting older, the two little ones made up their minds to go for the examination, and after diagnosis, they found that the leaflets were bilateral fallopian tube blockages, and the doctor directly recommended that ivory because natural conception was almost impossible.
Thinking of the child that the two people beat up when they were dealing with each other, the couple regretted it a lot. At this point, still have to work hard, Xiaoye and her husband decided to do IVF.
Recalling this experience, Xiaoye still has palpitations in his heart, first lying on the operating table like a gynecological examination, with his legs open, and then the doctor used instruments to prop open the birth canal and inserted an egg retrieval needle that was about 2 mm thick and 30 cm long.
To ensure the quality of the follicles, doctors recommend the use of durandine instead of anesthesia, so the leaflets still tremble involuntarily each time the eggs are retrieved. Under the skillful operation of the doctor, a total of 16 follicles were removed from the leaflets.
16 means that the probability is greater, and it also means that it is necessary to go through this process 16 times. While the leaflets were retrieving follicles, the husband was in the sperm retrieval room next door, watching the film provide sperm and working hard to conceive the baby.
Induction of ovulation, egg retrieval sperm, in vitro sperm-egg combination, transfer of embryos to the mother-to-be, after more than ten days, Xiaoye used a pregnancy test stick to detect pregnancy, excited to tears. Eventually she gave birth to a lovely daughter.
Once successful, Xiaoye is still lucky, but recalling the whole process, the most heart-wrenching thing is to take the egg, with the baby, the psychological and physical pain gradually drifted away, but was wrapped in happiness.
