In pursuit of a beloved child, this brave mom came alone from Japan to Taiwan to have the artificial fertility treatment. With the precise, professional medical care and medication prescribed by Dr. Ho Yen-Ping, Deputy Director of TFC, Taipei Fertility Center, Ms. Li successfully got pregnant—her little bunny baby is on the way!
“Having a child is part of the family dream my husband and I share.”
My husband and I have lived in Japan for quite some time, and we are both the only child in our respective original family, which is why we hold high expectations of having our own child after getting married. To us, a complete family includes children—we truly believe a child would bring more richness and colors to our family life.
Years went by after marriage without good news of expecting, I consulted a fertility clinic in Japan. After discussions with doctors there, we decided to try IVF, but unfortunately, it wasn’t successful (after several tries)… Even Japanese doctors agreed artificial fertility treatment in Japan is not as advanced nor is a focus area, resulting in few artificial fertility treatment clinics,which is why they recommended going abroad to Taiwan or the U.S. given higher success rates.With the recommendation from my Japanese doctor, and considering the proximity and cultural similarities, my husband and I decided to go to Taiwan for IVF.
Dr. Ho Yen-Ping is both detailed and considerate
My treatment is in the good hands of Dr. Ho Yen-Ping, the Deputy Director of TFC. I truly felt that he is a very dedicated doctor. Every time I entered his consultation room, he always had a warm smile that made me feel at ease and reassured. He is not only highly professional but also incredibly attentive—he always remembered the details of my condition and medications.
His ultrasound technique is outstanding. In contrast, when I had vaginal ultrasounds done by Japanese doctors, they were rough—as if using a samurai sword—with little regard for patient comfort. But at TFC, I could really feel Dr. Ho’s kind consideration and thoughtfulness. The service overall was also excellent, making me feel safe and was taken good care even in a foreign country.
Never give up—believe your baby will come
IVF is truly a tough journey, especially for someone like me who is afraid of injections. I felt like I endured so much… I still remember the day I got the results. My husband, even though he wasn’t allowed to use his phone at work (phones must be kept in bags or handed to supervisors), secretly messaged me to ask about the result. When he found out I was pregnant, he was so excited and said he was really looking forward to the arrival of our child!
After seeing the baby’s tiny hands and feet, all the pain and struggles paid out. To all the moms out there—hang in there! Don’t give up. Believe that your baby will come to you.
