Endometriosis, fibroids, and polyps — Three challenges at once. And yet, she conceived on the very first embryo transfer.

Endometriosis, fibroids, and polyps —
Three challenges at once. And yet, she conceived on the very first embryo transfer.

This couple from Taitung made it happen. 

The wife was 37 years old with an AMH of only 0.5, indicating severely diminished ovarian reserve. She was also diagnosed with endometriosis (endometrioma, 3 cm), uterine fibroids, and uterine polyps — three major gynecological challenges, all at the same time.

Facing this situation, Dr. Tsai Eing-Mei made a clear decision: retrieve eggs first, and give this family the fastest possible chance at pregnancy.

3 eggs retrieved. 2 mature. 1 embryo cultured.

Before the transfer, Dr. Tsai carefully evaluated the uterine environment —
The fibroid was not affecting implantation, so it was left untreated.
The polyp, however, was located directly in the implantation zone — and was removed.
Every detail was addressed to give this precious embryo the best possible home.

First transfer. Pregnant.
Baby at 8 weeks — heartbeat strong and steady 

This outcome is a testament to the dedication of Dr. Tsai and her medical team, and to the unwavering trust and commitment of this couple.
Taitung to Kaohsiung — nearly two and a half hours each way.
Again and again, they never missed a single appointment.

Thank you for letting us walk this journey with you.

Low AMH does not mean no chance.
But age is a factor that truly cannot be ignored.

Ovarian reserve declines with time, and waiting often carries a greater cost than most people realize.
Understanding your fertility status early and seeking evaluation and treatment promptly —
gives both you and your doctor more options, and that is the best care you can give yourself.
