24.01.2022 Another email that has brightened up my day! What a smile Baby-E has! The news of Baby-E’s (who is now 4 months old!!) is quite special to me as I remember celebrating hearing his heart beat on his pregnancy scan last year with some champagne (I posted about this champagne in September)! Not all fertility journeys are easy. Mummy-A and Daddy- L have been trying for pregnancy for 4 years. After 11 embryos transferred in IVF cycles and 3 miscarriages later, this little boy mad...e a much anticipated appearance! Mummy-A tells me that they are already starting to think about a plan for trying for number 2! I’m so happy for you all! . . . . . . . #recurrentmiscsarriage #happynews #makingbabies #fertilitytreatment #dralicehuang #fertility #womenshealth #collingwood #gynaecology #gynecology #fertilityspecialist #gynaecologist #gynecologist #gynaecologistmelbourne #ivf #ivfsuccess #ivfpregnancy #ivfaustralia #melbourneivf #eastmelbourne #infertilitywarrior #ivfjourney #ivftransfer #ivfwarrior #babiesofinstagram #newbaby See more

22.01.2022 Introducing Baby-H, whose feet are just as cute as his button nose! Baby H's story is a little different to his big sister, whose pregnancy happened straight away for Mummy-T and Daddy-C. 8 months after trying for their second baby, Mummy-T had an ultrasound that revealed severe endometriosis. I performed a laparoscopy procedure to treat the Stage 4 endometriosis and found both fallopian tubes were blocked at the time of procedure.... So we proceeded to IVF and little Baby-H is the beautiful result of our second embryo transferred. I’m also so pleased to hear that they had a wonderful experience with their delightful obstetrician @drAlexPolyakov who looked after them during their pregnancy! Congratulations! . . . . . . . #happynews #makingbabies #fertilitytreatment #dralicehuang #fertility #womenshealth #collingwood #gynaecology #gynecology #fertilityspecialist #gynaecologist #gynecologist #gynaecologistmelbourne #ivf #ivfsuccess #ivfpregnancy #ivfaustralia #melbourneivf #eastmelbourne #infertilitywarrior #ivfjourney #ivftransfer #ivfwarrior #babiesofinstagram

22.01.2022 I’m taking this proud mummy moment to show you my little man, doing his homework in his room before bedtime. Can’t believe he would be finished with grade 1 in a few weeks! I don’t think I can remember what life was like when I was in grade one. I can’t quite remember if I stayed up after dinner to finish my homework at that age. I’m so proud, watching him... not even sure if he got his homework right or not, but he is trying and that is what counts!... . . . . . #proudmum #hardwork #homework #grade1 #schoolwork #school See more

19.01.2022 It is the current national recommendation for all couples before trying for pregnancy to consider the Triple Reproductive Genetic Carrier Screening, screening for 3 common genetic conditions (Cystic Fibrosis, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, and Fragile X Syndrome), to see if you are at risk of having a baby with these 3 conditions. You can go to my previous IGTV post for a video explaining reproductive genetic carrier screening, or go to my YouTube Channel Dr Alice Huang GIGS to w...atch this video and others like this. There are also extended genetic panels available now that can test for hundreds of genetic conditions on top of these 3 conditions. I support reproductive autonomy for all my patients and will discuss this with my patients who are trying for pregnancy. . . . . . .

19.01.2022 We have all been living under very strict social distancing restrictions that 6 months ago would have been unimaginable. Following the Road Map to COVID Recovery yesterday, I would like to tell my patients that there are no changes to my current practice. I will still see most of my patients through telehealth. I will still see patients that need examinations and colposcopies in my clinic with extra infection precautions. All fertility treatments are still proceeding. We are ...still awaiting further information about elective surgeries. Currently some non-urgent gynaecological surgeries are delayed. There are many well established controls in place at my clinic to minimise risks of infection, including: . - masks for all staff and patients. . - Staggered appointment booking. . - Symptoms and travel history screening. . - Temperature checks. . - Physical distancing where appropriate in clinic. . - Strict hygiene and disinfection practices. . - Dedicated solo practice waiting rooms to avoid coming into contact with other doctors’ patients. If you have any queries about infection control at my practice, please do not hesitate to contact us. Stay well everyone! Take care of yourself and each other! We will see this through together! . . . . . . #covid #wegotthis #fertility #womenshealth #collingwood #gynaecology #gynecology #fertilityspecialist #gynaecologist #gynecologist #gynaecologistmelbourne #dralicehuang

18.01.2022 What a delight it is to hear from Mummy-A and Daddy-J about the arrival of Baby-M! Baby-M decided to make an entrance 3 weeks earlier than anticipated, and as Mummy-A told me, had a little rough start with jaundice and hypothermia. I’m so glad to see them all safely home. They had to make the most being in lockdown with a new baby! What a beautiful family, and their fertility journey was not an easy one! I first met Mummy-A in 2016 when she started trying for pregnancy.... She came to see me due to increasingly severe period pain which she needed to go to the emergency department for. I performed a laparoscopy and extensive endometriosis was treated. Mummy-A’s pain significantly improved. Then in subsequent testing, it was revealed they had both male and female infertility factors that were impacting on their chances of pregnancy so 3 months after laparoscopy we proceeded to IVF. They fell pregnant on their second IVF cycle, but unfortunately suffered a miscarriage. We tested the miscarriage which showed an abnormal number of chromosomes. This is a very common reason for miscarriage and is usually a random event in nature, and the same abnormality is not likely to repeat itself. Beautiful Big-Sister-E resulted from their next IVF transfer cycle! Just before Big-Sister-E turned 2 years old, Mummy-A and Daddy-J returned to see me, planning to transfer their one remaining frozen embryo. And this little embryo became gorgeous Baby-M. I’m so pleased for you all and thank you for sending me your photos! I hope you will stay safe during these atypical times!. . . . . . #happynews #makingbabies #fertilitytreatment #dralicehuang #fertility #womenshealth #collingwood #gynaecology #gynecology #fertilityspecialist #gynaecologist #gynecologist #gynaecologistmelbourne #ivf #ivfsuccess #ivfpregnancy #ivfaustralia #melbourneivf #eastmelbourne #infertilitywarrior #ivfjourney #ivftransfer #ivfwarrior #babiesofinstagram #newbaby

17.01.2022 As some of you know, I come from Taiwan and grew up in Australia. I was taught to embrace my Aussie background and remember my Asian heritage. I try to teach my kids the same, but keeping balance between Eastern and Western traditions is not always easy! My son just lost 2 lower baby teeth. We have kept the Western tradition of the Tooth Fairy and he is now $5 richer. But I couldn’t resist a Taiwanese tradition my mother taught me when I was a little girl, of throwing... the lower baby teeth onto the roof to help the adult teeth grow straight. . However... as far as my son knows... his teeth are now with the Tooth Fairy. I couldn’t very well give him back his teeth to throw onto the roof! So I had the roof-throwing-duty today. Hope they grow out straight!! . . . . . . . #teeth #toothfairy #easterntradition #weekend #weekends #weekendtime #happyweekend #familytime #family #dralicehuang #fertilityspecialist #gynaecologist #gynecologist #gynaecologistmelbourne

12.01.2022 Can you tell what I am making for my children’s school lunch for tomorrow? I decided to make my children’s school lunches. I can’t believe that we are looking at finishing up the school year soon! Looking back at the duration of remote schooling at home this year, I suddenly felt a need to make up for all the school lunches they missed this year!! . This one is for my daughter and if you swipe left you will see my son’s school lunch.... Can’t wait so see the surprised smiles on their faces when they see it tomorrow! Can you tell what I was going for? . . . . . #pikachu #schoollunch #lunchbox #afterdinnerfun #healthylunch # #familytime #family #dralicehuang #fertilityspecialist #gynaecologist #gynecologist #gynaecologistmelbourne

11.01.2022 How sweet is this little bundle of joy in a cute blue hat! It is great to hear from Mummy-A about Baby-C! One of the things I love about what I do is the continuity of care with my patients. I first met Mummy-A in 2016 not for fertility issues, but for abnormal cervical (PAP) smears that required treatment. I performed a cervical procedure call LLETZ (large loop excision of the transformation of the cervix) to remove the abnormal cells on her cervix. She started trying for... pregnancy off and on in the following 2 years and we then proceeded to IVF when she hadn’t conceived. In our first IVF cycle I collected 14 eggs, but none of the eggs fertilised to form an embryo. So we tried again, adjusting our fertilisation method in the laboratory. This time, 12 eggs were collected and Baby-C was the first embryo we transferred back! I’m so honoured to be involved in both her women’s-health-care and be part of their fertility journey!. . . . . #happynews #makingbabies #fertilitytreatment #dralicehuang #fertility #womenshealth #collingwood #gynaecology #gynecology #fertilityspecialist #gynaecologist #gynecologist #gynaecologistmelbourne #ivf #ivfsuccess #ivfpregnancy #ivfaustralia #melbourneivf #eastmelbourne #infertilitywarrior #ivfjourney #ivftransfer #ivfwarrior #babiesofinstagram #newbaby

11.01.2022 Today I’m introducing my children to the concept of high tea. I think they were appropriately impressed! I’m grateful that I could take the time today to rest and spend time with my family. They remind me of the simple but important things in life! Also it is a day to reflect on the massive efforts from everyone in Victoria! I would like to express a big Thank You to all the heroes who have made sacrifices to contain the spread of Coronavirus in Victoria! Everyone did the...ir part in dropping the numbers! Well done! . . . . . . #familytime #hightea #thankyouday #family #dralicehuang #fertilityspecialist #gynaecologist #gynecologist #gynaecologistmelbourne See more

02.01.2022 What do you know about UTERINE TRANSPLANT? Uterine transplant is a potential future fertility option for women who were born without a uterus or has had a hysterectomy. Currently, women in these situations, who still have intact ovaries can have eggs harvested and undergo IVF to store embryos. However, they will require a gestational carrier (a surrogate) to carry the baby. Or they can pursue adoption. A recent publication in RANZJOG (Royal Australia and New Zealand Journa...l of Obstetrics and Gynaecology) surveyed over 50 women without a uterus to assess their views and explore their attitudes towards uterine transplantation. Uterine transplant has been performed under clinical trials for a few years now worldwide, and offers these women a potential option to carry their own baby. Uterus from a donor will first need to be removed in a complex operation with its blood vessels intact (usually 6-10 hours to perform) and then transplanted into the recipient, where the blood supply is re-attached (usually takes 4-6 hours to perform). Then the recipient will need medication to suppress her immune system to prevent her body rejecting the uterus. 12-18 months later, an embryo that was previously stored can be transferred into the uterus. After pregnancy, once the woman has completed her family, the uterus will be surgically removed, so she is able to cease immunosuppressant medication. The first baby born from a transplanted uterus was in 2014 in a Swedish trial. Since then 18 more live births have been reported. It is a treatment that is still in the clinical research phase, and more than 15 centres worldwide are pursuing this research. I’m looking forward to the future when this may become a practically available option for all women without a uterus. . . . . . . #uterus #uterinetransplant #MRKH #hysterectomy #IVF #Research #fertility #womenshealth #collingwood #gynaecology #gynecology #fertilityspecialist #gynaecologist #gynecologist #gynaecologistmelbourne #dralicehuang
