Chapter 112. Secretive

This research project focused on advanced in vitro fertilization (IVF) methods, aiming to minimize risks for both the mother and the baby. The new techniques promised to improve success rates while reducing common complications in artificial insemination. The methods discussed included adjusting the dosage of ovary-stimulating hormones, using genetic technology to select healthy embryos, and enhancing the embryonic culture environment in the lab.

Emma felt an intellectual thrill as she read through the information. She recalled the time when her father, who had been both the director and founder of Lenozo Hospital, took on a particularly severe case. A young woman had been overdosed with ovary-stimulating drugs during her IVF preparation, leading to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). The patient had been hospitalized in a critical condition, with a swollen abdomen, difficulty breathing, and a high risk of blood clots. Her father had worked tirelessly to save her life.
