42-year-old Seo Dong-ju is much more disappointed than injections with despair of infertility treatment (Again, Do. Dong)



at the end of the summer with my family waiting for a baby who is not coming.

In the video, Seo Dong-ju came from an egg collection procedure in the morning. I'm having a really hard time. Collecting eggs is on TV a lot these days, but it's not very easy. I'm doing it while keeping my mind under control."

He said "Actually, getting a shot hurts, but it hurts a lot more to feel disappointed and hopeless compared to that. These days, it's a time to feel more deeply about it." "I was very worried today. I don't have many follicles and I have a high ovarian age, so I was worried about what would happen again this time because there were many times when I did it before and it was not collected or became one, but fortunately, the follicles were large, so I took two" he said.

Then "This doesn't end with collection, but it has to be fertilized, and it has to be an embryo. On the 5th, a PGT test is performed, and the embryo that has passed all of it is called a gongbae. The road to full passage is long and rough, so you don't know what will happen. Two were collected today, but there may be no gongbae. Then I have to do it again next month, so I'll start taking medicine again next week. "This is a difficult time, but it seems to be a precious time. I'm doing well with that in mind," he said.

In addition, Seo Dong-ju said that he is considering an in vitro procedure for about a year, and "The existing professor's overseas training has changed the professor he was originally doing. The changed professor told me to think about it for a year from now and forget everything I've done before with the mindset that I'm starting anew with myself.

He said he decided to do a more aggressive strategy with the new professor. "I don't know what's right. But when the professor said at the end, 'I should try it, what can I do?' and I sympathized so much. It's not that I won't do it. What can we do if the probability is low. I should do it, but I'll have to do it."




Meanwhile, Seo Dong-ju married a non-celebrity four years younger in June. It is his first remarriage in 11 years since his divorce in 2014. Her husband is known as the manager of Jang Sung-gyu, a broadcaster belonging to SM C&C.
