JAKARTA - The IVF program is now one of the most reliable medical solutions for a partner who has difficulty having children.

This procedure involves the fertilization of eggs by sperm outside the body, which then the embryo is reimplanted into the uterus. Although the process is complex, this technology continues to develop and has brought real hope to many married couples.

One of the touching stories comes from Abdul and Siti from Bali. They have been married for almost seven years but have not been blessed with children. In prayer and patience, they have great hopes.

After various natural efforts have not yielded results, they chose to undergo the IVF program as the last form of endeavor. The two also met dr. I Gusti Agung Ngurah Agung Sentosa, Sp.OG, Subsp. FER or commonly called dr. Agung from Morula IVF Denpasar to carry out a pregnancy program.

Their journey begins with a Hysterosalpingographic (HSG) examination, a radiological method to evaluate the condition of the uterus and the tuba channel. The results show that both of the wife's eggs channels experience hydrosalping, namely blockages that cause fluid buildup.

Not only that, the results of the analysis of the husband's sperm also showed a teratozoospermia condition, where many sperm were abnormal. Despite facing complex medical challenges, the couple did not give up. They underwent a series of follow-up actions to prepare the IVF process.

The IVF procedure begins with egg collection (Ovum Pick-Up/OPU), where Mom Siti manages to produce several high-quality egg cells. This process results in three superior embryos. However, to ensure the successful implantation, Siti also underwent a laparoscopic procedure to deal with hydrosalping that she experienced.

On the other hand, sperm examination results show teratozoospermia conditions, namely large amounts of abnormal sperm. Although this diagnosis is quite challenging, the couple continues to undergo a series of follow-up actions, including egg collection (Ovum Pick-Up/OPU) and the fertilization process in the laboratory.

From this process, three good quality embryos are produced. However, before the embryo transfer is carried out, the wife needs to undergo a minimum invasive procedure of handling hydrosalping and ensuring optimal uterine conditions. After all stages are passed, one of the best embryos is finally implanted into the uterus.

Finally, one of the best embryos is implanted in the uterus. In December 2024, happy news came from Siti declared pregnant. Tears of emotion enveloped the couple who had been fighting for the sake of the baby for a long time.

"I was very touched when I heard the news of their pregnancy. This couple has gone through a lot of processes and almost lost hope. Hopefully the pregnancy will run smoothly until the delivery process later," said dr. Agung in a press statement from Morula IVF to VOI.

Behind IVF technology, the success of the program is also greatly determined by the quality of communication between doctors and patients. An educational, fourish, and open approach in explaining every medical step helps couples feel better prepared and confident in undergoing this difficult process.

Now, more and more health facilities in Indonesia provide fertility services with the latest technology and experienced medical teams. The success as experienced by this couple is an inspiration for many other blue line fighters. Because actually, in the world of fertility, hope is not just wishful thinking but something that can be pursued and realized.
