JAKARTA - Having a baby is one of the dreams that many couples dream of after getting married. However, for some people, the presence of a child is not always easy to achieve.

Various factors, ranging from fertility disorders, age, to certain health histories, make the journey to pregnancy take time, patience, and proper medical treatment.

Every couple has different challenges. Some have to deal with repeated miscarriages, declining egg quality as they age, to male infertility.

This condition makes some couples finally choose to undergo a fertility program, including in vitro fertilization (IVF), as one of the efforts to obtain offspring.

Quoting a press statement from Morula IVF Indonesia, one story comes from Dini and Hakim who had to wait for five years to get a baby.

The wait was colored by the experience of repeated miscarriages that drained emotions and hopes. At the age of 45, Dini and her husband finally managed to get the pregnancy they had been waiting for.

Another story was experienced by the couple Reno Intan and Hendrik. During 11 years of building a household, the two were faced with various medical challenges.

Hendrik was diagnosed as having no sperm so sperm donors were one of the options considered. On the other hand, Reno Intan also had to undergo treatment due to myoma and polyps.

Their journey was not short. Six times undergoing in vitro fertilization, including trying treatment abroad, has not produced results.

"Various diagnoses received were a heavy blow before finally managing to get pregnant through the IVF program," said the couple.

Meanwhile, age is also a challenge for Sherly and Judyarno. After turning 40, the couple had to undergo in vitro fertilization in Singapore.

However, these efforts have not been successful until finally they returned to undergo a fertility program in Indonesia and managed to get pregnant even though the quality of the cells had decreased due to age factors.

Similar hopes were also felt by Mina and Yusuf, a couple from Sumur Village, Keramat Village, Sumenep, Madura. For 22 years they have been waiting for a child.

With a very low reserve of egg cells (Anti-Müllerian Hormone/AMH), namely 0.1, the chances of pregnancy were considered very small. However, the couple eventually managed to get pregnant and was blessed with twins through in vitro fertilization.

Various stories show that infertility is not only a medical problem, but also an emotional journey that requires the support of family, health workers, and the readiness of couples to undergo a process that is not always easy.

In commemorating its 28 years of journey, Morula IVF Indonesia shared a number of stories of couples who managed to get a baby after undergoing a fertility program.

The commemoration was also filled with educational activities for the community regarding reproductive health and fertility which is scheduled to take place on July 25-26, 2026 in Jakarta.

President Commissioner of Bundamedik Healthcare System (BMHS) and President Director of PT Morula Indonesia, Dr. dr. Ivan R. Sini, GDRM, MMIS, FRANZCOG, Sp.OG, said that every journey of a couple towards the presence of a child has its own meaning.

"Every baby born is a reminder that hope is always worth fighting for. We want to continue to walk with more Indonesian families, providing the best support at every step towards the arrival of a child," added Dr. Ivan.

He hopes that the momentum of the 28th anniversary can be an impetus to expand access and assistance for couples who need fertility services.

"Hopefully this is a big step for us to help more couples who need help to have a baby," said Dr. Ivan.
