Hien, a 43-year-old woman from Ho Chi Minh City, struggled for nine years to conceive a child through IVF. However, despite her best efforts, she faced numerous failed attempts due to her health issues and depleted ovarian reserve. In search of hope, Hien and her husband decided to seek egg donation as a means of having a baby in the auspicious year of the Dragon.
Despite being postmenopausal, Hien was determined to try for a baby. With time running out in the year of the Dragon, they turned to her 31-year-old sister who was in good reproductive health and produced quality eggs for the treatment. After embryo transfer and conception in March, they were hopeful for a successful pregnancy.
The increasing global rates of infertility have led many couples to turn to assisted reproductive methods like egg donation. In 2021 alone, the US saw an 19% increase in IVF cycles using donated eggs. Vietnam is no exception with IVF clinics like IVF Tam Anh supporting couples with depleted ovaries and failed treatments. Dr. Ngo Dinh Trieu Vy emphasized the importance of egg donation in helping infertile women become mothers. He recommended thorough screening of egg donors to ensure better success rates in IVF treatments.
After years of struggles, Hien’s family finally received the joy of pregnancy and a baby in the year of the Dragon. They still have frozen embryos from the donated eggs and plan for more children in the future. Hien expressed her happiness at becoming a mother and appreciated the support that helped make their dream come true.
In conclusion, egg donation can be an effective solution for couples struggling with infertility who wish to have children
