Hello friends of Taiwan & Japan! T-san and her husband have been married for many years and wish for a baby. Being 40 already, she’s done several prenatal checkups and everything’s worked out well, but wanted to proceed with IVF due to risks posed with age. They had a full Japanese consultation with the team at NUWA, there was absolutely no language barrier at all.
T-san’s husband is also Taiwanese, so they were able to qualify for Taiwan’s IVF Aid Program. There they were, from egg retrieval, to fertilization, to a successful embryo, to having a PGT-A (PGS) test for a superb embryo, to birthing a healthy baby boy at the end of 2022.
The couple came in a couple months ago to say hi to me with their month old baby, and even under their masks, I could see their happiness and joy.
Maybe their son was too cute, and maybe it was because their entire experience was comfortable and trusting, they’re already planning their second child! I guess we’ll see each other soon.
Taiwan’s IVF Aid Program has already been in effect for a year, and there already has been 50,000 couples who qualified for it. As long as you meet the qualifications and have Taiwanese citizenship, you’re able to apply for it. The biggest age range is 37 to 40-year-olds.
In addition, while undergoing IVF, the chances of a healthy embryo successfully implanting significantly increases if there are PGS testings and a time-lapse system for embryos!
