In October 2019, on the eve of my 38th birthday, I met my soul mate in the middle of a sea of people. I was not considered a late marriage, I had had a failed and tortured marriage before that, and in that marriage I did not think about having children at all, because I wanted to find a good father for my future children, which was also a responsibility of my mother. Until we met my current lover, we felt sorry for each other, he understood me, spoiled me, respected me, understood me, and it turned out that he was already a good father.
Just after getting married in the winter of 2019, I discussed with my lover about getting ready to have a child, and he was very happy and touched. At the same time, in order to be fully prepared for pregnancy, I began to actively exercise to prepare for pregnancy, with Traditional Chinese medicine conditioning.
Half a year has passed, and my regular routine and physical condition have indeed improved, but I still have not become pregnant. I know I'm a very difficult person to get pregnant because I've always been plagued by PCOS and I'm not young. So I discussed with my lover or should we try a test tube? He was very supportive of my idea.

In August 2020, after arranging some things at work, I walked into the hospital without distraction, and I was 39 years old. The hospital started with a series of tests and identified the main problem with my infertility: polycystic ovary syndrome, which was accompanied by high blood sugar. So metformin became my daily medication.
On 26 October, hysteroscopy was performed to detect uterine polyps, and polypectomy surgery must be performed after egg retrieval. After eating metformin for a month, the recheck: the result is that the blood sugar is still high. The doctor did not agree to promote ovulation, I was very anxious, the doctor comforted me: in the case of blood sugar is too high, the quality of the egg will be affected, and the conception is also easy to miscarry, you still continue to eat for a month, wait for the blood sugar to stabilize and then proceed to the next step. Since the doctor said so, I had to obediently continue to take the medicine and consciously control my diet.
In November 2021, the blood sugar was finally normal, so I was ready to induce ovulation and egg retrieval. The process of promoting drainage is very cumbersome, every morning to run to the hospital to draw blood, injections, ultrasound, physiotherapy, generally all busy until one o'clock in the afternoon.

On January 7, 2021, I was 40 years old. The first time I underwent an egg retrieval operation, I was particularly nervous and anxious, worried that the quality of the eggs would be poor when I was older, or that the number of eggs that reached the standard would be too small. The result was unexpected, I obtained 17 eggs at a time, and finally mixed into 10 fertilized eggs to form a frozen embryo for 3 days to wait for transplantation. Here's the explanation: my 10 are good, 2 eight cells, 4 seven cells, 2 six cells, 2 five cells. I don't have a single one. Although so many eggs were taken, there was no ascites. Moreover, the process of surgery is general anesthesia, and there is basically no pain after waking up.
After half a month of recuperation at home, on January 22, after three days of clean leave, he underwent surgery for uterine polyp removal at the test tube hospital, and the operation was also general anesthesia, and after the operation, he continued to take leave to recuperate at home. Everything is in progress, and the pace of transplantation is getting closer and closer.

On March 5, the 13th day of menstrual leave, I finally entered the transplant cycle, and I took the natural cycle, so I took very little medication. The follicles and lining are monitored daily after entering the cycle, and occasionally blood is drawn. When it was time to ovulate, the endometrium grew to 10 mm, and the doctor said that the lining was very good, and three days after ovulation, the transplant was arranged.
March 13, this day is so ordinary and so special. I have a special fate with 13, the previous student number was 13, the lover's birthday was 13, and my son's birthday was also 13. I said to my lover, "Everything is like an arrangement in the dark." ”
Drinking water before the transplant, when it was almost my turn, I was urine and doubted life, so the nurse asked me to let go of some, I was very worried, I was afraid of letting go of all of it, and I had to drink water again, I didn't expect to control myself very well. Before entering the operating room, my lover said to me, "Wife, you are the best." ”
It is not easy for women to do test tubes, which people are not pumping dozens of tubes of blood, giving hundreds or even hundreds of injections, and also have to bear a certain amount of pressure. So the encouragement and care of the lover is really important.
The transplant time is very short, about two minutes, like playing. The doctor told me: See these two little glowing dots? Two babies have been successfully put in. Next pay attention to rest. After the transplant, I had a half-hour treatment in another lounge and then I could go home. Because I came first, and my lover's transplant day came, so we had two cars, and just after the transplant, we drove back in one car each. Now that I think about it, my heart is also very big. The first transplant of a forty-year-old woman was originally a limited success rate, and what else should I do?
I don't know what the reason is, since the transplant I was full of confidence in myself to win, I saw a lot of sisters' anxiety in the transplant group, and I often comforted them: don't think too much, keep a relaxed and happy mood, and believe that you believe in the baby. We worked the process, and the result was handed over to God. Later, I thought that this was probably derived from my accumulation and precipitation over the years, and I could be calm and calm no matter what I faced.

On the morning of the 7th day of the transplant, that is, on the morning of March 19, I suddenly felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, although the test tube hospital asked us to test the urine on the 11th day of the transplant, but I really couldn't help it, took the test strip to test it, and before the test I comforted myself: If it is not measured, it means that it is not urgent. Unexpectedly, the test strip quickly showed two bars, although the color was not dark, but even the naked eye could clearly see, it was not the idea of gray, but pink.
Every morning after that, I tested with test strips, and I watched the color of the test strips deepen little by little, and I didn't know how happy I was. The TEST tube hospital asked us to draw blood on the 14th day of the transplant, but I couldn't stand it, and on the 10th day I ran to the local hospital to draw blood, progesterone was still normal, but the HCG was only 48.7, the doctor said not to be in a hurry, don't compare the blood value with others, mainly to see the doubling. On day 12 of the test, the HCG doubled to 122.3 and on day 14 it doubled to 319.4. The doctor said it was fine, and it doubled at a rate of more than 1.6 times every day.

Successful pregnancy is a happy thing, but the various levels after pregnancy are really comparable to 9981 difficulties. The first is to see if the test strip has deepened, and to see that there is a deepen every day, until it is as deep as two bars of crimson red, and there is no longer a pregnancy test strip. The next step is to check the blood value, the progesterone is not up to standard, and the HCG double is not good. From 48.7. on the 10th day to 21286 on the 26th day, it has been doubling normally, and progesterone has also been more than twenty, which is basically normal.
According to the regulations of the test tube hospital, on the 28th day of the transplant, we had to take the first ultrasound B ultrasound, but on April 7, only 26 days, I could not resist to do the B ultrasound. The results showed that everything was basically normal, and even a little bit of fetal buds could be seen, and on April 15, when the first B ultrasound was re-diagnosed after 8 days of B ultrasound, there would already be fetal heart fetal buds. B super single saw that it was written on the top of the 8MM fetal bud tissue and yolk sac sound image, you can see the original heart canal beating, this time is the 31st day of my transplantation, this hanging heart feels a lot more comfortable, at the same time checked out HCG has also exceeded 60,000, progesterone is also nearly 30.
In addition, after my transplant, my body performance was that I never had abdominal pain, bleeding, or discharge. At present, the baby has been born, healthy and lively, and I am also very happy.
Experience: As an elderly woman preparing to conceive, I can succeed at one time, and I think there are still some places for everyone to learn from and reference.
1, start exercising in advance, I began to exercise from the preparation of pregnancy in 2019, insisted on it very well, and achieved at least 3-4 aerobic and anaerobic combined exercises per week, which laid a good foundation for my later treatment. So during the IVF treatment, I didn't feel very guilty. Of course, it is best for couples to exercise together.
2, develop good living habits, I mainly mean going to bed early and getting up early, don't always stay up late, it really hurts the body, I generally rest at ten o'clock, even if I can't sleep, I turn off the lights and close my eyes to recuperate. In addition, I rarely eat outside meals, usually at home, I think the oil at home is better and the dishes are more hygienic.
3, maintain an optimistic attitude, I have always believed in one point: the process of positive efforts, the result is handed over to God. As long as we are serious about doing this, even if we fail, it will be God's other arrangement or our next favor. So I was always relaxed before and after the transplant and didn't have anxiety and insomnia because of these things. Of course, this is also thanks to my lover, who constantly encourages me and cares for me, so that I feel that I am not alone.
Joy to share
