Nguyen Phuong Thao (23 years old, Ho Chi Minh City) and her husband, Dinh Tuan Hai (35 years old) got married in 2019. Not long after the wedding, Thao became pregnant with triplets, but unfortunately had a miscarriage at 8 weeks. One year
`In 3 years, I had 4 miscarriages and had to have one fallopian tube removed. I was in a lot of pain because I continuously lost children and the doctor said I couldn’t get pregnant naturally,` Thao said.
Knowing that his wife wanted a child, Thao’s husband encouraged her to have in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Doctor Le Xuan Nguyen, who directly treated Thao with fertility support, said that of the 4 miscarriages, 3 were ectopic pregnancies and one was a multiple pregnancy.
Doctor Le Xuan Nguyen examines and advises treatment plans for patients.
The patient’s uterine ovary was normal, the right fallopian tube was cut, and the fluid in the left fallopian tube moved very slowly.
Doctors quickly developed an egg stimulation regimen for Thao, retrieved 5 mature oocytes, and raised 5 embryos on day 5. In early May, Thao received the good news of pregnancy after the first embryo transfer.
`Thanks to the embryo culture system integrating artificial intelligence (AI) in the lab, the number of oocytes retrieved is very small but the embryo creation success rate is 100% and the embryo quality is very good, increasing the chances of successfully having children.
According to Dr. Nguyen, abnormalities in embryo quality are also one of the causes of repeated miscarriages.
IVF technique also helps the embryo be transferred to the correct uterine lining, limiting the risk of ectopic pregnancy causing miscarriage.
At IVFTA-HCMC recently, doctors also received and treated many young patients with repeated miscarriages, depleted ovaries like premenopausal women, and infertility diseases.
The increase in young patients being examined for reproductive diseases, recurrent miscarriages, and infertility may be due to the fact that young people have more and more access to reproductive knowledge, so they proactively go to the hospital.
There are many reasons why women experience premature ovarian failure, such as chromosomal diseases, genetics, autoimmune diseases or the removal of one or both ovaries or fallopian tubes during disease treatment.
At 8:00 p.m. on May 25, 2023, the online consultation program `Female infertility due to ovarian failure, reduced ovarian reserve (low AMH) & egg storage for motherhood` will take place with the participation of experts.
