However, three years passed, all efforts did not bring the expected results. Questions from relatives, gossip from neighbors made the couple's desire to become parents even more intense.
Unable to wait any longer, the couple began their journey to find a child. Although they had to travel far, they heard that there was a good traditional medicine doctor and went to see him, but their wish still remained unfulfilled.
Disappointed and a little tired, they did not give up and went to hospitals to find a Western medical solution. After many visits, the doctor determined that the cause of infertility was that Ha had narrowed fallopian tubes and Thuong had weak sperm.
Believing in modern medicine, the couple decided to try the assisted reproductive method IUI, but after two unsuccessful IUIs, they felt lost.
“There are times when I just see other people taking their children out, I also wish I could hold them like that. I long to hug them, take care of their meals, their sleep, and hear them babble, calling me mom. I long so much! There are nights when I don’t dare go anywhere, even skipping parties, just wanting to stay home. When I see other people having children, I am happy for them, but my heart is heavy, I cry alone at night,” Ms. Ha emotionally shared.
The journey to find their child was not easy. There were days when they had to wake up early in the morning to catch the bus to the hospital, regardless of the rain, cold or heat, the long distance, the couple persevered because their dream never faded.
In 2018, through an acquaintance, the couple learned about the Hanoi Andrology and Infertility Hospital. Here, they not only received dedicated advice from doctors but also felt comforted when they were listened to and understood about their long journey. After examining and sharing the couple's condition, the doctor advised them to perform in vitro fertilization (IVF). And the miracle happened when the doctor announced that Ms. Ha was pregnant.
However, the joy did not last long. At the 9th week of pregnancy, the doctor diagnosed that the baby had no heartbeat. The news came so suddenly that Ha was devastated. The loss was so great that she could not help but grieve, but the couple's life gradually returned to normal after a difficult time.
Many sleepless nights, they still silently nurtured the hope of another embryo transfer and believed in miracles. In 2023, Ms. Ha decided to temporarily stop working to devote herself to her dream of becoming a mother. They returned to the Hanoi Andrology and Infertility Hospital to continue their unfinished journey.
On February 28, 2023, Dr. Pham Van Huong, Deputy Director of the hospital, successfully transferred the embryo. Worried because her previous pregnancy was not complete, Ms. Ha decided to stay near the hospital for convenient monitoring.
And the real joy came. After the beta HCG test, the results brought good news - Ms. Ha was pregnant. Especially, 15 days later, the happiness multiplied when the doctor announced that she had two little angels in her belly.
“I was really happy when I found out I was pregnant with twins. But I was also worried when I entered the 9th week of pregnancy. It was at this time that I had a miscarriage last time. However, this time everything went smoothly and the children are all healthy,” Ha shared.
The entire pregnancy was closely monitored by Dr. Hoang Van Khanh. However, at the 20th week of pregnancy, the doctor discovered that Ms. Ha had signs of cervical prolapse and a Y-shaped cervical opening. Despite treatment, the condition did not improve, and at the 26th week of pregnancy, the doctor decided to perform a cervical cerclage on Ms. Ha. The surgery was successful, and the mother and her three children overcame the challenging period.
Finally, on October 25, 2023, in the family's overwhelming joy, two little angels Le Diep Thao and Le Ba Quang Vinh were born. The two babies are affectionately called Gao and Thoc. The couple's family is now complete and happy.
“Having two children makes things twice or three times harder, but the whole family is always busy and bustling. We are so happy, all of our dreams after 13 years have come true,” Ha happily shared.
13 years – a journey filled with tears, hope and long nights of anticipation. Finally, the miracle came when the couple was able to hold their little angels in their arms.
Now, their little family embarks on a new journey filled with laughter, love and joy. The priceless gift called “my baby” has helped them regain everything they lost, and more than that, it is a sweet happiness that cannot be measured.
