  • We Just Kept Trying Again

    Journey 02 – When Nothing Explained It — Until Timing Did After that first time, we didn’t stop. We tried again. And then again. The second, third, fourth cycle…they started to blur together after a while. Each time, I told myselfmaybe this round would be different. But the pattern felt familiar. We went through retrieval…

  • There Was Nothing to Retrieve

    Journey 02 – When Nothing Explained It — Until Timing Did I remember the first time we went through retrieval. I didn’t know what to expect.I just followed the process, step by step.

  • Looking Back, We Weren’t Alone

    Journey 01 – When One Cycle Isn’t the End Looking back now,it’s hard to believe everything happened within a few months. At that time, it didn’t feel fast.

  • He Didn’t Give Up on Us

    Journey 01 – When One Cycle Isn’t the End After that result, I think that was the lowest point for me. Not because of how dramatic it was…but because everything just became very quiet. We didn’t have anything left from that cycle. I didn’t know what to say,and I didn’t really ask many questions. It…

They told me they managed to get 10 eggs.At that point, I felt… okay.Not overly hopeful, but at least there was something to work with. Then the updates came. In the end, only one embryo was successfully developed. I held…

  • My Body Responded Faster Than I Expected

    I remember during the injections period,everything moved quite fast. After a few days,they told me my body was responding quickly. The eggs were growing faster than expected. When I heard that,I didn’t think too much about it. I didn’t feel excited,and I also didn’t feel worried. It was more like…okay, this is how my body…

  • The Numbers Changed, Quietly

    I remember the numbers didn’t come all at once. It was one by one. First, they told me how many eggs were retrieved.Eight. At that moment, it felt… okay.Not a lot, not too little.Just something to hold on to. Then later,we found out only three were mature. I paused a bit when I heard that.But…
