🌿 WHEN OVARIAN FUNCTION DECLINES EARLIER THAN EXPECTED - WHAT SHOULD WOMEN KNOW ?

Not every woman’s biological clock follows the timeline she expects. Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) can affect women before the age of 40, with important implications for fertility and hormonal health.

In my recent interview with VOV World, I had the opportunity to discuss POI, its impact on women’s reproductive health, and why early awareness and timely evaluation are so important.

💙 If you are experiencing irregular periods, changes in your menstrual cycle, or concerns about your ovarian reserve and fertility, don’t wait until you are ready to have children to seek advice.

Early understanding can make a meaningful difference in planning your reproductive journey.

👩‍⚕️ After evaluating the patient’s fertility condition and bilateral tubal blockage, Dr. Thuy Duong recommended IVF, giving the family a greater opportunity to turn their dream of having a baby into reality.

✨ Some encounters may last only a few minutes, but they can remind us of something deeply meaningful: no matter where the journey to parenthood begins, it can still lead to a beautiful ending. 💕

🎯 UPCOMING SEMINAR: FERTILITY PRESERVATION FOR YOUNG CANCER PATIENTS

🗓 Wednesday, August 12, 2026
📍 Hong Ngoc General Hospital – 55 Yen Ninh, Ba Dinh Ward, Hanoi, Vietnam
👉 Register here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1BycpfxPKpmW7RedFYYbJ4ZoZ1xreqPSoqQAYyvADbb4/viewform?edit_requested=true

A cancer diagnosis does not have to mean giving up the dream of having children.

Thanks to advances in reproductive medicine, fertility preservation can now be considered before cancer treatment begins, giving patients the opportunity to protect their future reproductive potential while receiving timely cancer care.

The seminar “Fertility Preservation for Young Cancer Patients” aims to bring together experts in oncology and reproductive medicine to discuss one of the most important topics in modern cancer care: how to effectively treat cancer while preserving the possibility of parenthood in the future.

📌 Key Scientific Topics

* The current landscape of cancer among young women in Vietnam
* Novel anticancer therapies and their impact on ovarian toxicity
* Ovarian tissue cryopreservation
* Fertility preservation strategies for women with cancer

✨ The seminar will feature leading specialists in oncology and assisted reproductive technology (ART), offering multidisciplinary perspectives and the latest clinical updates on fertility preservation for young cancer patients.

Featured Speakers

✅ Dr. Pham Thi Thuy Duong – Seminar Chair, Director of IVF Hong Ngoc Yen Ninh Fertility Center
✅ Professor Nao Suzuki – Vice Director, St. Marianna University School of Medicine Hospital, Kanagawa, Japan
✅ Dr. Nguyen Hong Hanh, MSc – IVF Hong Ngoc Yen Ninh Fertility Center
✅ Dr. Pham Hong Uyen – Department of Oncology, Hong Ngoc P**c Truong Minh General Hospital

🤝 This seminar offers an excellent opportunity for physicians and healthcare professionals to update their knowledge, exchange clinical experience, and work toward a more comprehensive treatment strategy—one that not only focuses on cancer control but also proactively protects patients’ future fertility and their chance to become parents.

💙 We look forward to welcoming physicians, specialists, and healthcare professionals to this meaningful scientific event.

CONVENTIONAL IVF OR MINI IVF? THE ANSWER ISN’T ALWAYS WHAT YOU EXPECT.

A patient came to see me after four years of infertility and two unsuccessful IVF cycles at different fertility centers. The cause of infertility was bilateral tubal disease.

Previous IVF history

IVF Cycle #1 (February 2024):

* 15 antral follicles at baseline
* 6 eggs retrieved
* 6 Day-3 embryos, with 3 developing into Day-5 blastocysts
* All three blastocysts underwent Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)
* 1 euploid embryo
* 1 mosaic embryo
* 1 aneuploid embryo
* Two embryo transfers, but no pregnancy

IVF Cycle #2 (2025):

* 16 antral follicles at baseline
* 8 eggs retrieved, but only 3 were mature (MII)
* Embryos cultured to Day 3
* Two embryo transfers, again with no pregnancy

Before discussing possible implantation factors, one thing was already clear: the ovarian stimulation outcomes were far from what we would expect.

She was still young, had an AMH level above 3 ng/mL, and a good antral follicle count (AFC). Naturally, she asked:

“Why did I retrieve so few mature eggs despite using stimulation medication? Should I switch to Mini IVF?”

After reviewing her previous records and evaluating her ovarian reserve, I concluded that she belonged to the good prognosis group—young age, high AMH, and adequate AFC. The stimulation doses used in her previous cycles were also appropriate.

So why had she shown a poor response in both IVF cycles?

To answer that question, I recommended FSH receptor (FSHR) polymorphism testing—a highly specialized genetic test that analyzes variations in the FSHR gene to predict how the ovaries respond to ovarian stimulation during IVF.

In clinical practice, this test can help us:

* Predict ovarian response to stimulation medication
* Personalize the stimulation protocol, including the most appropriate medication and dosage
* Explain why patients with the same age, AMH, and AFC may respond very differently to identical treatment protocols

As expected, the results showed that she carried an FSHR genetic variant associated with reduced ovarian responsiveness.

With this information, we confidently decided not to switch to Mini IVF. Instead, we proceeded with a personalized conventional IVF protocol, selecting the most appropriate medication and adjusting the dosage based on her genetic profile.

The outcome

This time:
✨ 16 antral follicles at baseline
✨ Excellent and synchronized follicular growth
✨ 15 mature eggs retrieved
✨ 8 high-quality Day-5/Day-6 blastocysts

The first challenge had been successfully overcome.

The next step is equally important: carefully reassessing all potential factors that may affect embryo implantation and addressing any underlying issues before embryo transfer.

I look forward to sharing another piece of good news with this family very soon. ❤️

❤️ PREGNANT AFTER THE VERY FIRST EMBRYO TRANSFER

After careful preparation every step of the way, 34-year-old mother received the joyful news of pregnancy following her very first embryo transfer.

This wonderful outcome was made possible through:
🧬 A high-quality embryo
🧬 Thalassemia genetic screening, helping reduce the risk of passing on this inherited blood disorder to the baby
👩‍⚕️ A personalized treatment plan tailored specifically to the couple’s unique fertility needs

Every successful IVF journey is the result of meticulous planning—from comprehensive fertility evaluation and embryo creation to selecting the most suitable embryo and transferring it at the optimal time.

That is why Dr. Pham Thi Thuy Duong always recommends genetic screening whenever indicated—not only to improve the chances of pregnancy, but also to support a healthier pregnancy and the birth of a healthy baby.

💜 Congratulations to this wonderful family as they begin the most beautiful chapter of all—the journey of parenthood.
