Having a child is one of the greatest wishes for many married couples. However, for some, this dream takes time and perseverance — as experienced by Nana Ricardo and Ryan McInnes.
This couple went through a long 16-year journey before finally welcoming their long-awaited child. They had undergone several fertility programs, but none had yet resulted in the two precious lines they had been hoping for.
Diagnosed with Unexplained Infertility
The couple’s journey to conceive was filled with tears and emotional struggle. Nana Ricardo and Ryan McInnes were diagnosed with unexplained infertility.
What is unexplained infertility?
This condition occurs when both partners undergo fertility evaluations and the results show no abnormalities, yet they still face difficulty achieving pregnancy.
According to a study published in the Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, around 50% of couples diagnosed with unexplained infertility may conceive within 12 months after receiving appropriate treatment. Fertility management can be carried out either naturally or through medical assistance.

Undergoing Insemination and IVF Programs
Throughout their 16-year wait, the couple tried various fertility programs — from natural conception methods, to intrauterine insemination (IUI), and in vitro fertilization (IVF). Nana and Ryan underwent three insemination cycles and two IVF cycles.
IVF is one of the most effective treatment options for couples who have previously attempted other fertility methods such as natural conception and insemination.
Their journey was guided by an excellent medical team: dr. Cynthia Agnes Susanto, BMedSc, Sp.OG, dr. Tiara Kirana, Sp.And, and dr. Maitra Djiang Wen, Sp.And, Subsp.FER, MClinEmbryol, along with dedicated embryologists and fertility specialists.
A Long-Awaited Miracle
The couple began their fertility program in 2021 at Bocah Indonesia. One of their IVF cycles had to be postponed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the challenges, they never lost hope or determination to become parents.
Finally, after 16 years of waiting, their long-awaited baby was born on March 14, 2025.
The birth of this little angel was a reward for their patience, faith, and perseverance as true “two-line warriors.” Their dream of becoming parents was finally fulfilled in 2025.
Conclusion
Although unexplained infertility can be challenging, it does not mean that having children is impossible. With optimism, persistence, and proper fertility treatment, couples can still make their dream of parenthood come true. Remember, at Bocah Indonesia, #ThereIsAlwaysHope.
