■ 17th Challenge to Become a Mother, Ms. Kim Mi-so (45 years old) Ms. Kim Mi-so has been repeatedly injecting and removing ovulation-inducing injections into her stomach every morning for several years. Although infertility treatment is a battle with waiting, it was particularly long and harsh for her. She got married late in her thirties and tried to get pregnant right away, but two years passed in a flash. Just as she was about to start infertility treatment, she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Since the cancer surgery came first, the infertility treatment was postponed indefinitely. Fortunately, the cancer surgery went well, but another two years passed due to chemotherapy. Ms. Mi-so, who started infertility treatment again, was 42 years old, an age when no one said that the probability of pregnancy was high. She had already started infertility treatment 16 times. Perhaps it was the result of her long efforts, she finally succeeded in getting pregnant during the last IVF treatment. However, she had no time to be happy, as the baby passed away before the eighth week. Ms. Mi-so still has the ultrasound image of the heartbeat. She didn’t give up hope that the baby would come again and let us hear a stronger heartbeat this time. Ms. Miso said that it was not yet time to give up. We will join her on her 17th challenge. ■ What is ovarian age? Ms. Tae-ri Jeong (30 years old) and her husband Ms. Tae-ri Jeong and her husband have been married for four years but still feel like newlyweds. They got married at a young age of 27 and 32, so they had no worries about pregnancy. They thought they would fully enjoy their newlywed life and be able to have a child whenever they wanted, but was that arrogant? They tried to get pregnant but after half a year, they still couldn’t get pregnant. The couple who had undergone a prenatal checkup received shocking news. Ms. Tae-ri’s ovarian age was in her 40s. This means that although she was 29, her ovarian function had declined as much as that of a 40-year-old. The hospital recommended IVF immediately, but perhaps because of their young age, the couple still hoped for the possibility of natural pregnancy. The couple despaired and were frustrated by the one line on the pregnancy test that came up every time, but it took time for them to accept their infertility. Will there be any hopeful news for those who visited the infertility clinic again after 6 months? We will learn about the concerns of young infertile couples and the treatment cost support system that infertile couples can receive. ■ Park Ji-yoon (36 years old), a precious life gained after overcoming the pain of miscarriage Park Ji-yoon and her husband are preparing to meet their baby with excitement as they enter the 38th week of pregnancy. The couple had a difficult time until their baby, who was named 'Geuk-bboki', arrived. Ji-yoon was diagnosed with ovarian dysfunction during a prenatal examination after failing to conceive naturally. It was the ovarian age of 40. This means that there were few eggs left in the ovaries. Since egg retrieval was difficult, they fertilized and transplanted the eggs collected through 4 procedures, and they became pregnant right away. They were so happy that they even named the baby 'Obok'. However, the baby's heart stopped beating before they could even call the baby's name for a long time. Ji-yoon, who reflected on herself due to the shock of the miscarriage, realized that she had been overly obsessed with the child. I spent 10 months recovering my body and mind. Maybe it was because I was able to relax. I got pregnant on my first attempt at IVF. Like a gift, like a miracle, 'Geukbokki' came. Park Ji-yoon rushed to the hospital after her water broke two weeks earlier than the due date. We captured the heart-pounding moment of birth that made her forget the pain of childbirth. ■ Becoming a mother of twins, Lee Eun-young (38 years old) 30-month-old fraternal twins, Davi and Da-eul. They are best friends who often bicker but make up quickly. Lee Eun-young and her husband also needed time to wait until their twin sisters were born. After repeated failures in artificial insemination, she quit her job and devoted herself to IVF. Fortunately, she succeeded in getting pregnant on her first IVF and had twin girls. Eun-young is happy because she is raising twins, who are at an age where 'what's mine' is important, and there is not a single day of peace. We look back on the happiness of giving birth to and raising a child and the meaning of family through a family of twins.
