Actress Hwang Bo-ra shared her feelings after failing to retrieve eggs during in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures aimed at conceiving her second child.

On the 20th, a video documenting Hwang's IVF process was released on the YouTube channel 'Hwang Bo-ra Variety'.

That day, Hwang shared news that two follicles had developed while she was preparing for her second pregnancy. She expressed anticipation, saying, "I hadn't had my period for about two months, but suddenly I was told that two follicles had appeared." However, after being informed by the hospital that there was a high possibility of empty follicles due to diminished ovarian function, she gave up on egg retrieval.

Subsequently, Hwang attempted IVF again when new follicles developed. During this process, she experienced side effects such as severe facial swelling and skin breakouts after receiving growth hormone injections.

Hwang had expressed hope for good test results ahead of egg retrieval, but ultimately failed to retrieve eggs. She could not hide her shock, saying, "It's unbelievable. They said the retrieval didn't work. I was clearly told they were there."

She then conveyed her sense of frustration, stating, "I feel drained. Why did the retrieval fail? The numbers were said to be very good."

Despite this, Hwang continued her challenge toward conceiving a second child. After visiting the hospital again later, she successfully retrieved eggs and expressed hope while sharing the joy with her husband.

Meanwhile, Hwang married Kim Young-hoon, son of actor Kim Yong-gyun and younger brother of Ha Jung-woo, in 2022, and welcomed their first son in 2024.
