Lawyer and broadcaster Seo Dong-ju shared the hardships she has faced due to infertility, revealing that she experienced empty follicles for two consecutive months while preparing for pregnancy.

On the 15th, a video titled "From Preparing for Pregnancy to Seo Dong-ju Letting Go of Guilt" was released on the YouTube channel "Seo Dong-ju's Tto.Do.Dong."

On that day, Seo Dong-ju stated, "I was quite disappointed yesterday," revealing that she had empty follicles for two months in a row. She shared, "Usually, at least one egg would be released before an empty follicle occurred the next time, but this time it was empty follicles twice in a row. That is the hardest situation."

She then explained, "The doctor told me to get a blood test, so I waited for two hours. When the results came out, they said ovulation seemed to have occurred a bit early."

Seo Dong-ju said, "In an anonymous infertility support group chat, some older women suggested trying artificial insemination. So I asked, but they said it was not possible." She added, "They said that if we were to prepare again, it would need to be done two hours later, but instead of that, they advised me to go home and try for a natural pregnancy."

Disappointed by the test results, Seo Dong-ju admitted that she temporarily stopped managing her diet. She said, "As soon as I found out about the empty follicle, I drank a latte and ate instant noodles right away. I need to start managing my diet again from tomorrow."

Seo Dong-ju also revealed changes in her eating habits while preparing for pregnancy. She stated, "I used to drink a huge amount of carbonated beverages, but I quit them. Now, I drink almost only purified water."

She continued, "I feel that being able to give up things like those is what earns you the qualification to have a child. So I am trying to cut out even more," showing her strictness toward herself for the sake of pregnancy.

In particular, Seo Dong-ju revealed that her husband is also making efforts during the infertility treatment process. She said, "I thought it was enough if only I did well, but I heard that for people in situations like mine, my husband's sperm quality also has a significant impact."

She then explained, "They said that if the eggs are not very good, at least the sperm needs to be good, so my husband needs to eat well, avoid alcohol and smoking, and exercise to increase the overall probability somewhat."

She added, "My husband also quit coffee, bread, and chicken. He has suffered a lot. It was pitiful," expressing her affectionate feelings toward her husband who is preparing for pregnancy alongside her.
