'Comedian Shim Hyun-seop and his wife Jeong Young-rim faced an unexpected situation during the in vitro fertilization process that made everyone nervous.
On the 9th episode of TV CHOSUN's Chosun's loving spouse, Jeong Young-rim said, "I quit my job and came on a trip for the first time," and updated viewers on her recent situation. She explained the reason she quit the academy was "to focus on preparing for pregnancy for a second child." She said a few months ago a gynecologist recommended in vitro fertilization, and after much deliberation they proceeded with the procedure; she said they have completed the embryo transfer and are currently waiting for the results.
Shim Hyun-seop said, "I hope it goes well," expressing a cautious wish, and the cast also offered words of encouragement. He said, "I feel very sorry for my wife because natural conception hasn't worked well," and added, "Because of my age, it's more urgent." He then revealed, "My father passed away when I was 13. I know that pain. But even if I'm not here, if there is a child, wouldn't my wife feel less lonely?" and choked up.
That day the production team also exposed Shim Hyun-seop's lifestyle habits. They emphasized the importance of health management, saying, "You need to quit drinking and smoking," and Shim Hyun-seop responded with an embarrassed laugh.
But the mood suddenly changed. A sudden situation occurred when Jeong Young-rim needed to find a sanitary pad. At the point when they were monitoring the progress after the in vitro fertilization procedure, a symptom of bleeding appeared and filming was temporarily halted. Facing the situation for the first time, Shim Hyun-seop hurried to a convenience store, and the production team immediately called the obstetrics clinic for consultation.
Medical staff said, "If it's the 10th day after embryo transfer, a small amount of spotting can occur," and explained, "An amount manageable with a liner is considered 'spotting,' and if a sanitary pad is needed it's considered 'bleeding.'" In response, Jeong Young-rim also said, "It could be implantation bleeding, but it's too soon to conclude. Let's not be too hopeful or too disappointed." Everyone advised, "Get some rest."
The cast said in unison, "I hope it was implantation bleeding," and the couple decided to visit the hospital the next day to check her condition. Even amid the tension, the two comforted each other, touching viewers' hearts.
