Jetanin Hospital
Khun Bo and Khun Zen opened up about their journey and experiences with fertility treatment.
Khun Bo: We have been married and lived together for 7-8 years. We both wanted to start a family, so we decided it was time to try for a baby. We gave it a shot and tried naturally for quite a while, about 3-4 years. Unfortunately, we didn’t have any success.
Khun Zen added: I must admit, I’ve always dreamed of having kids, especially since Bo and I got married when I was 32. As Khun Bo mentioned, we tried everything we could naturally, but nothing seemed to work. We even went for medical check-ups and consulted a doctor. However, the results showed that there was nothing wrong with either of us. So, we understood that there wasn’t any issue on our end.
We felt like we couldn’t wait any longer because of our age.
Khun Bo: Actually, we tried IUI and consulted with other places before, but it didn’t work out. Then, we had the chance to talk to a friend who was also planning to have a kid. They suggested Jetanin Hospital, so we decided to give it a try and consulted with the doctor. And that’s where our journey began. We tried IUI about 2 times, but it didn’t pan out. We felt like we couldn’t wait any longer because of our age. That’s when we sat down with the doctor and decided to go for ICSI.
Khun Bo continued: Honestly, looking back, we didn’t have much worry at all during the treatment because the doctor walked us through every step, from scheduling injections to doctor appointments. It was incredibly reassuring and, in my opinion, a big plus. Having a plan that catered to our needs while aligning with the treatment protocol made it convenient for us and didn’t impact our work at all.
Although there were some low moments during the treatment journey, we refused to give up.
Khun Bo: I have to admit, there were times when I felt a bit down, like during the injections because it was quite a lot and I’m not exactly a fan of needles. But Zen was there every step of the way, helping me with the injections. And afterwards, he would take me out to some nice places to eat. Just having that kind of support kept me going.
Khun Zen added: Honestly, I don’t think there was much to worry about during the treatment process. I always tried to be there for Bo, cracking jokes to lighten the mood and keep her from feeling too stressed, since I knew that the treatment might cause some mood swings due to hormone changes. I took on the role of preparing and administering the medication, setting reminders for each injection. When it was time for the injection, I’d call her. And afterwards, I’d take her out for a nice meal to help her relax.
It’s truly the happiest thing ever because it’s not just us celebrating.
Khun Bo: After the embryo transfer, I was filled with hope but also worried about the outcome. The moment we learned I was pregnant, we were over the moon. But it wasn’t just us; our families were even happier. My grandparents, especially, were ecstatic because they were praying for my pregnancy every day, perhaps even more than I was. Once everyone knew I was pregnant, they were all overjoyed.
Khun Zen: Personally, I was beyond thrilled, speechless even. But at that moment, I was also a bit worried about the possibility of miscarriage.
Our priorities shift—we always think of our little one first.
Khun Bo: Our life has changed a lot ever since. Back when it was just the two of us, we enjoyed this carefree lifestyle, doing whatever we wanted without a second thought. But now that we’re parents, everything feels different. Our priorities have shifted. We always think of our little one first. And it has also made us think more about the future.
Khun Zen: Personally, my perspective on life has changed, especially with how I manage my time. Since becoming a parent, I’ve been eager to prioritize family time and maximize every moment with my child.
A big shoutout to the doctor and the hospital. We’ve felt reassured and at ease throughout our treatment journey, and the results have been beyond our expectations. I’m secretly hoping that we’ll meet again next year.
