Hi, wanted to share our story for a long time.
We got married at 32, kind of late but always thought that we should not have any problems conceiving as both of us are healthy.
Tried naturally for about 2 years, failed
Tried IUI for a couple of times, failed
Tried IVF many times, failed through various stages(with different fertility centers- also outside Singapore)
Time after time, we have to go through heartaches, why has it to be us that face all these obstacles.
Being drained financially is one thing, emotionally being punished is another thing.
We went through numerous roller coaster rides.
Being so excited thinking IVF has high chances – only to realize, higher the hopes, being harder hit by the disappointment of failure
From being tested positive after the 2 weeks wait - only to be disappointed after the HCG numbers did not double
From getting normal HCG numbers – only to be disappointed when no heartbeat was detected
Going through the heartache of removing the embryo(depends on the stage of development) from me after every failure
From the natural way, to means of taking medication and sometimes through D&C
And believe me, I actually once need to do D&C twice within 2 weeks because the doctor did not do a good job and I have to do it again.
Being Chinese, we are superstitious,
You name it, we’ve done it – from temples in Singapore, to temples in the region, going to churches, praying consistently.
We even managed to get some powder/stones from churches as far as from the middle east. (As this were from the cave where Jesus was fed)
Finally, after 12 long years.
We found success(IVF) and our baby was born in 2014.
Today he is almost 2- Perfectly healthy and the joy of our family… nothing else matters.
Want to share with all those out there…
It can be difficult, it can be discouraging.
But everything will come, just be patience and dont’t give up.
