Broadcaster Seo Dong-ju shared an update on her IVF treatment, which she has been undergoing for three years.
On the 5th, Seo Dong-ju posted on social media, saying, “I’ve been undergoing IVF for three years. Because I have extremely low ovarian reserve, only one or two follicles develop each month.”
She continued, “Sometimes egg retrieval yields just one egg, and sometimes there are no eggs at all because the follicles are empty. Many people in the media succeed on their first try, but that is not my reality. Still, all I can do is undergo retrieval each month when I am able to.” She calmly opened up about her situation.
“Unfortunately, I ended up with empty follicles again this month,” she said. “After I pulled myself together and went outside, I realized how beautiful the sunlight was.” Her words drew sympathy.
Seo Dong-ju showed a mature perspective, saying, “Remembering the words, ‘Count the blessings you have received,’ rather than letting sadness consume me, I’m trying to get through today with gratitude by counting the blessings I already have. I’m grateful whether it works out or not.”
Although she has continued IVF treatment for three years, she plans to take a break next month. She said, “I think I need to take about a month off next month. I support everyone navigating infertility. Everything will work out. There will be good results. And even if things don’t work out, we’ll all be okay.”
She also drew attention by saying, “Isn’t there a time when you need to praise yourself simply for having tried without regrets?”
