hallo gals!
folic, thanks for sharing ur experience with me...i'll defintiely take ur advice and ask her why give me clomid etc. i stuck with her from 2001 until now becuz i felt she was v. experienced and skilful (she did a good job on my endo problem)
hubby wants to wait until we return from europe to chk further cuz he is also v. scared that he is the one w the prblem.said he doesnt want to ruin his holiday by finding out any nasty news!
gals, the rest of u - any good gynae to recommend? i'm also thinking of trying out that chinese physcian in jurong east...
elle, so we have met in the sept 02 forums before..heehehe..i agree w u about the married life thingy. tho hubby is willing to help - he is simply too tired and looks like a dead fish when he comes back from work everyday! n weekends are so filled with activities that we r completely shacked-out by sat nite.
me stay in bt batok - i think sembawang's defintiely ok for me...can forward me the addres, etc ?
now i understand what is pcos...btw, i saw u ask what is hot flash/hot flush before.
i expereinced that when i went thru hormonal therapy after my operation for endo. u'll be doing ur own thing and suddenly, u feel like a fire burst inside of u and u suddenly feel v. hot and want to take off ur jacket, etc. and suddenly it goes away and if u are in aircon room - u suddenly feel cold and want to put on jacket agian. the hot feeling is v. uncomfy ....feels v.v.v.hot.
how i realised i got endo? over the course of 1 yr, my AF became gradually more painful and heavier. like from 6-7 days it became 8-9 days. n the pain went from a dull ache to acute, crippling pain for a few days. i knew something was really wrong even tho my family said nothing wrong. i went to GP so many times and GP insisted that nothing wrong n ask me eat painkillers,. i refused and after the last 6 mths of crazy pain, in jun 2001 i asked to be scanned. the GP nearly fainted when she saw the scan results - 2 cysts of 4cm each. was referred to tanny chan, who said my condition was v. serious n had to be operated ASAP.
so, in jun i operated and she found not 2 cysts, but 4 cysts and 1 fibroid inside. after that, 6 mths of hormones to stop the menses.
but i must mention here that i did a lot of reading up on various causes of menstrual pain. and endo - u can have endo without having cysts, etc. for me, i'm juz blessed cuz i had cysts, and that justified having an operation. with an operation - she was able to remove other endo deposits inside me.
i really need to ask her abt clomid cuz i've always had a 28-30 day cycle, very very regular. and i did charting - got ovulate leh..so, also dunno why need clomid...
other gals:
i hope none of u experience this kinda painful mense that i used to hv before - if u know ppl who have - pls ask them to see doctor about it!
