To Dr. Boonsaeng Wutthipan, head of Women’s Health Center, Samitivej Sukhumvit

Kantika Kernick, 28, who is married to an Australian, suffered ectopic pregnancy twice and had to have the oviducts removed. Hormone injection also caused too many stigmas to grow. When she learned of the new technology, she decided to try. “I am very happy. Earlier I was hopeless because I have a lot of problems with hormone. Having hormone injection everyday is painful. But using IVM, it hurt a bit when the doctor took out the ovum. Now, I am nine week pregnant. My twins will be born on June 28, 2009
Thank you,
Kantika Kernick


To Dr. Boonsaeng Wutthipan, Women's Health Center Samitivej SUkhumvit Hospital

Ms. Pattanee Uthaisiriroj, 36, said, “I’m thrilled. My husband and I have been married for six years. We actually planned to have baby four years ago but we have never been successful. After consulting with Dr. Boonsaeng, I learned that I have PCOD. I was given some pills to boost ovum fertility. However, I didn’t take the pills constantly so it was not successful in the first place. I don’t want to have hormone injection. Dr. Boonsaeng therefore recommended this new technology and I decided to try. I did it on September 23 and I am now 10-week pregnant. I am expecting on June 18, 2009.”
Thank you,
Ms. Pattanee Uthaisiriroj
