Singer Ailee ran into trouble during in vitro fertilization.
On the 29th, a video titled "Severe side effects after egg retrieval… it's painful" was uploaded to the Illine wedding diary channel.
That day Ailee recorded her life after egg retrieval in a video. On the fifth day after retrieval she said, "My stomach has been bloated constantly and I have a lot of gas. I haven't been able to go to the bathroom since before the retrieval. The pain at the procedure site and such all ended long ago because of the gas it's so hard" as she complained about her difficulties.
Choi Si-hoon explained, "The medication taken after the procedure had the side effect of causing constipation," and Ailee said, "So my stomach is extremely bloated and painful. I went out for a night walk to see if it would help release some gas. My breathing is short. Even when I take a deep breath it doesn't all go in, so I guess my breathing is a bit short."
She added, "That doesn't mean my daily life is so disrupted that I can't work at all. I do work and those things. I do broadcasts too. Those things aren't particularly a problem. I was told I could exercise."
A short time later the two visited the hospital to hear the results of the egg retrieval, and they expressed joy after hearing that seven fertilized successfully as five-day embryos. However, the doctor, while suggesting implantation this month, explained, "The uterine lining is a bit thin, so we need to do an endoscopy once." He said, "If only the lining is good it will implant. But he said the lining is thin, so we'll do an endoscopy this month and do the transfer around early March or April."
Afterward Ailee heard the endoscopy results and received injections to thicken her uterine lining. But it did not thicken, and she ended up returning to the hospital to receive a pre-transfer uterine lining procedure. Choi Si-hoon said, "The transfer is coming up soon, but the current situation is that the uterine lining is not thickening, so we need to draw additional blood," and asked, "You were taking medicine, right? How was it when you took the medicine?" Ailee replied, "I was the same as usual. I don't know. I just started taking it regularly; it changed to taking two pills twice a day, so I think we need to see if that causes any change."
Choi Si-hoon explained, "This final medication process has to be taken at several timings, so she has to go for midterm checks. We need to see how much the uterine lining has thickened and assess the condition," and Ailee showed a gloomy expression, saying, "Actually we gave up on natural pregnancy because of this problem and started IVF, but to hear again that it isn't thickening — we came this far and now I'm afraid this will cause problems and we won't be able to do it…"
Choi Si-hoon offered upbeat encouragement, saying, "What did I tell you at the hospital? Think of it as if it's thickening," and Ailee expressed frustration, "Why isn't it really thickening? I wish we at least knew the reason. But before, the obstetrician also said they weren't sure of the reason. Because there were no scars in the uterus, it was clean, and I even had an endoscopy and everything, and they said there was no problem. So this time the director said, 'Why isn't it thickening? The uterus had no abnormalities,' and I felt upset."
Then Choi Si-hoon comforted her, saying, "These parts are frustrating. Still, they said it's a simple procedure, so get it done well, come home and rest more. Rest fully. First get it done well," Ailee rebuilt her strength after the procedure with galbitang and galbijjim, and said, "I'm not at ease. I had surgery to thicken the lining, increased the medication, and today I also got the injection to thicken it. It should turn out fine," expressing her feelings. Choi Si-hoon cheered, "Lee Ye-jin, fighting!"
Meanwhile, Ailee married actor-turned-entrepreneur Choi Si-hoon, who appeared on Netflix's Single's Inferno, in 2004, and she is currently attempting in vitro fertilization for a second child.<
