Jetanin : Hello and congratulations on the new addition to your family. How long had you been married before seeking a consultation with Jetanin?
Hyewon Kang : “We had been married for seven years. My husband works for a tour company in Thailand. We never thought of having children after we got married. All we did was work. Then last year we tried to conceive naturally for about a year with no success, so we consulted a doctor in Korea, but were unsuccessful. “
Jetanin : Why did you decide to seek treatment with Jetanin?
Hyewon Kang : “One of my Korean friends was working for a hospital in Bangkok and recommended Jetanin to us. After the consultation, we decided to be treated here and were successful after the first try.”
Jetanin : What did Dr. Somjate tell you about the cause of infertility? And what treatment did he recommend?
Hyewon Kang : “The doctor told us I would not be able to conceive naturally because both of my fallopian tubes have abnormalities, and so the doctor treated us with ICSI.”
Jetanin : Were you anxious or afraid before beginning treatment?
Hyewon Kang : “I was afraid, but the doctor was so kind. He took great care of me and encouraged me, so I knew there was nothing to be afraid of.”
Jetanin : How did you feel when you knew that you were going to have your first child? How did you think a child could be important to your family life?
Hyewon Kang : “Once I found out I was pregnant, I was so happy. I was speechless. We were so glad to find out we’re going to have a baby. We didn’t always see eye-to-eye in the past, and there were some conflicts. Now we understand each other better. We love each other more. We’re making baby plans together and we’re always smiling.”
Jetanin : What childbirth plans have you made? And do you think you’ll have another baby?
Hyewon Kang : “We’ve decided to have the baby in Thailand. I’d like the doctor to be the one performing the delivery. And we’ve thought about having a second baby, too. For myself, I’m getting older. I’m already forty, but I trust and believe in the doctor here. We intend to have the procedure performed by Dr.Somjate, just like before.”
“I started to think about egg freezing when I was 35 after learning about it in a newspaper article. The news suggested it was a good option for the modern women.” Khu...
