It was 6 years ago since I first saw Mrs. Hu, she was married to her husband for 2
years. During that time she thought that having a baby is something very “normal”
and so didn’t pay too much attention to it. Like many young couples, sorting out their
career developments and financial Independence topped their priority list and having
a baby was their second. But, Mrs. Hu knew that in order to have a healthy baby, the
parents, must first, be healthy and for this reason, Mrs. Hu came to see me.
Mrs. Hu frequently paused the course of treatment as she was very prone to illness,
such as colds and flu, but that didn’t stop her perseverance to enhance her fertility and
health condition. But, in 2015, Mrs. Hu caught a cough that she really struggled to
recover from. No matter how many medications she took, the cough just wouldn’t go
away. Therefore she went to a hospital for a detailed check and was diagnosed with
Tuberculosis (a disease caused by bacteria which usually attack the lungs, but they
can also damage other parts of the body.) What’s worse is that the bacteria had already
spread to and infected her uterus. Without further options, Mrs. Hu had to stop her
cause of treatment and had to sort out the Tuberculosis problem first.
In just a few months, Mrs. Hu was fully recovered from the disease and came to see
me again. This time, she was able to cruise through the course of treatment smoothly.
She and her husband’s fertility health was up to standard for natural pregnancy, but
Mrs. Hu had bilateral (two sides) block fallopian tubes, and the only way to conceive
is via IVF. But because of their efforts, in just 1 cycle, Mrs. Hu was able to produce 6
Grade A embryos and had successfully implanted one of them. She was 20 weeks
pregnant when she came to see me again for advice on pregnancy management.
I was truly touched and impressed by Mr. And Mrs. Hu’s perseverance, even with so
many barriers, they have lasted to the end and gave birth to a healthy and adorable
baby boy.
