Hi Findingmiki & VQ, Thanks, it means alot & thanks for contributing regularly to this thread.
Jade, welcome to this thread. Yes, we're journeying together in this difficult TTC path. What we're trying to achieve here is not pregnancy but comfort and encouragement in each other that if it is meant to happen, it'll happen and if it isn't then we'll lean on each other to get through each month, re-emerging stronger. Surely, we are entitled to wallow in our disappointment but we must constantly remind ourselves that conceiving is not the be all and end all in our lives and that there are other people and greater reasons to live. Just gotta re-align our priorities from time to time. There are also other methods of creating a family unit, if we're ready, of course.
And yes, most of us in here have hubbies with some issues there as well. If we're strong, we have help our hubbies along and vice versa, right? The main thing is to have good communication with our spouses so that we can sort our thoughts & feelings with them anytime we need. It is, afterall, part of being married, right? For better or for worse...
BTW, anyone going for the Sexual Wellness talk on 3 Feb organised by Channel Newsasia? I won't be able to make it but wd love to. Don't think it'll be anything new we haven't heard or tried before though....
Anyway, it's the 1st day of work & school for the new year so I'd better let you all get back to work. Have a fab week ahead!

Dear Qingqing
I think you're having hormonal problems like me. Do you feel dizzy? Prob low blood - are you taking iron pills? You might want to start.
Meantime, make an appt with your gynae to see to the problem as tests may need to be done.
Take care,

Yes, qing qing... I agree with soulutions.. Do see a doctor as fast as you could.
The bit bit of bleeding everyday is due to the bulky uterus. The reason for bulky uterus is due to the inability to ovulate and thus did not have menses. The bit bit of bleeding is 'cause the blood linning is so thick that it starts to shed bit by bit..
These are symptons of hormonal problems.. potentially PCOS.
I was like you.. I delayed my treatment as i was frightened and i landed up in a deeper shit. So do it as early as you can. I am still having PCOS but the shit has been cleared after 2 years of medications.
Fear not.. 1 in 5 woman would have hormonal problems. We just need to know how to treat this .. using diet as well as medications.. The problem is not big.. just needed medical attention.
Fear not .. okay.. We are all here for you.
Take care of u..
many hugs

Clarifications :
When i say "I was like you.. "
I meant.. my symptoms are the same as yours. Only that this continues for 6 months to 9 months before i did something about it..

Welcome to our support group Applemuffin,
In here, we remind each other that TTC is important but there are other important elements in our lives, too, and we encourage each other to look at what we have and not what we don't have...
If I were you, I'd seek to sort myself out before thinking of TTC as I would not want my child to suffer any disabilities, etc... Rule #1 of being a parent; to protect your offspring.
I've been TTC-ing for 7 yrs now and we've created our family unit by adopting our beautiful baby girl in Sep 05. We're still TTC-ing but the pressure has eased. We've now moved from primary infertility to secondary.
Take one day at a time, get your condition looked at and then TTC when you get the green light.
We hope to see you here more!

thanks soulutions. i hope to get green light soon. guess time is the best healer for all situation. am learning to be patient..
thanks for the encouragement.
will swing by as often as i can...
thanks for the encouragement.
Hi all,
Yes, I agree with Solutions and all.......
Though I am not yet successful, I guess that having a child cannot be really planned for........it is this thing called destiny......we cannot control destiny......
We must learn to cherish and make good use of what we have now and not be despondent by what we do not have......it is easier done than said.....
At least, we still have hubbies with us......if have children it is a big bonus and gift from God.........if fated dun have, then, since we are living, we must make ourselves happy by focusing on what we have and not what we do not have right???? Just sharing some thoughts.........

Hi qing qing.. folic acid is like vit .. so you can still take..
Hi all and especially to qing qing, I was having so much trouble with PCOS, atypical hyperplasia, went thru cycles of IUI and SO-IUI.. almost IVF this time. The brown staining that i noticed had not been AF. The symptoms that i experienced which i tot was also not AF. On the day when I felt so disappointed, sad and wanted to go for IVF, I finally did a test to ensure that there is no mistake before I start injection for IVF. I tested postive.
Saw a glimpse of light. Both my chinese and western doctors said that my hormones are really low... and i need lots of rest. I don't know whether I would be able to pull thru this, but to me .. knowing that it is positive.. is really good. Thus keep moving.. I would not have moved so far without all of your support.. I will continue to move and take care.. and i really hope it will turn out well..

Hi Dorothy, i am inspired by your story about conceiving your bb gal. U see, my hubby also low morphology, 3% normal only and although some people say it takes just 1 spermie so still got hope, but i still find it so hard to believe. Ur story brought me hope. Can u also share how your hubby morphology improved to 9%? Thats a good jump! How did he do it? TCM? Pills? Special diet? Can share?

Hello Calyx
i used to see Ann tan when she was at sgh but she moved to set up a pte practise at Mt E. not sure about her charges now. It really depends on your budget. maybe for a start maybe u can get a referral from polyclinic to kk or sgh to see a gynae, then u will be a subsidised pt.. But if u think that u can afford and prefer to choose a senior consultant then u just check in the web of kk or sgh and choose the senior con. Cos as a pte patient, all the blood test etc are pte rate and can be quite a lot of $$ if long term treatment is required. I think over here they do have discussion on the drs..so u can read their feedback.. some of my friends prefer christian/ catholic gynae cos of their belief but for me i prefer a lady gynae but in the end i was delivered by a male one cos Ann Tan left. I am seeing Dr Tan Hak Koon at sgh, he's ok but i still feel very shy when i see him....
i really do not know if hbp affect sperm count...It's reallly gd to see a gynae earlier and they can advise what to do.
do take care. it took me a while to bring my hubby to see a gynae initially but it takes 2 hads to clap so he has to take leave to see her a few times with me.

Hi sisters, thank you for all your blessings.
I am really keeping my fingers crossed. Spotting is coming on and off. Given MC to rest for 10 days.. That's why did not login as frequent.. as need to lie down most times..
Today felt better.. no worries..
No matter what happens.. it shows that there is hope for all of us.. Thus sisters, do fight on.. i am too .
qing qing:
no worries about being green... all of us started green.. all sisters here helped to educate each other
IUI - Intrauterine insemination(IUI) is process whereby sperm are artificially placed in the uterus. Oral medications such as clomid is used to induce ovulation. Once the egg matures i.e. around size of 17mm - 20 mm , the doctor would give you an injection to release the egg from the ovaries. THis would prepare you for IUI. Your husband will be asked to prepare his sperm. They would process the sperm, remove the not so good ones and give the current ones more motility. Once the sperm is ready ( usually about 2 hours), the sperm is then transferred into your uterus thru an equipment which the doctor uses.
So-IUI - is SUPER-IUI if i am not wrong. Injectibles are used instead of oral medications. If one respond well, one can get more than 1 egg, thus increasing the chances of pregnancy.
IVF -In vitro fertilization is a technique in which egg cells are fertilized by sperm outside the woman's womb. IVF is a major treatment in infertility when other methods of achieving conception have failed. Injectibles are used and many eggs are produced in order for them to be extracted and fertilised outside. The embryo is then transplanted back to the womb.
AF - stands for Aunty flow. This i also just learnt recently..
Hope the above helps.

Replies to some of the discussion above.
Dear toycollector - it should be 4+ weeks.. have not discussed the EDD with doc as yet.. as both of us more worried about the spotting.
Dear Soulutions - yup.. taking folic acid diligently. A sincere thank you to you for maintaining this thread.. I am really glad to be in this thread..
Dear hopefulgal - the reason i shared is to encourage everyone of us here.
I am glad it gives you a glimpse of light too
Dear dorothy - thank you too. Will try to update. Now just keep fingers crossed.
When i had thought it is not possible, our sisters had pushed me on. I am very grateful. Thank you

VQ, i actually thou that Dr YU serious= fierce...seems like she is a nice lady .. never see her b4.. next time when i go for check up will peep peep see if i can see how she looks.
Calyx..hello i think actually the polyclinic cant really treat u regarding fertility issues but with their referral u can be a subsidised patient at govt hosp.... u just tell them u have irregular menses and want to know if u are ovulating..but do prepared that u might have to wait some time b4 u get an appt date at govt hosp cos govt hosp usually packed with appts...so some of us might take short cut by calling the govt hosp n choose to be pte patients to get the earliest date to see a gynae..
i have a child n he going 4 soon but still praying hard for a 2nd miracle to happen..
findingmiki.. take 1 step at a time... rest rest rest!!! will keep u n baby in prayers.

just to share a heartache that myself and also those with secondary infertility face.
few days ago my boy told me he very "poor thing" coz it's just him and his hamsters. said he's alone with no baby brother.
sighhh...such words from him really tears my heart. i can sense he really wanted a sibling. my boy meant the world to me and as a mother, i would give him my all...but this is one of the things that is kinda beyond my control and understanding. i guess i just have to be patient and press on...and i really must say i find comfort in this thread at times like this
findingmiki, congrats and thanks for sharing your good news...it gave everyone here hope. i feel that i'm a step closer to deciding on IUI. i'll be enquiring with my gynae when i see him on thursday.
btw, was this pregnancy conceived naturally or via IUI? anyway take care and rest well.

btw, was this pregnancy conceived naturally or via IUI? anyway take care and rest well.

Hi Joan and Tub,
I conceive via So-IUI. I am a PCOS patient and my hubby had low SA. According to doc, we are actually lucky as during the time of So-IUi, i only had 1 egg that is matured while the other one is too small. And usually given the dosage, I should have 4 or more eggs. Thus, lucky.
But now .. keeping fingers crossed as Doc seems to be saying that I am having low hormones (quite common for PCOS patients).. and i am having bad coughing as well.. thus really hope... I can pull thru this..

Cranberry,
Pls consult a gynae asap & get your menses sorted out before trying to conceive. It might take anytime between a month to a year, who knows.. just stay focused on getting it right before TTC-ing, otherwise you may be frustrated too early in the process. And stress whilst TTC-ing is not something you need to experience until you've sorted yourself out.

i nearly teared when i read what your son said.. my son only asked for food or toys but never a sibling cos he sees it as a competitior to his things.. but poor boy, every night before he sleeps i make him say a prayer for a mei mei. some times he asked me how come so long still no mei mei.. sometimes he can be very sweet and kiss my tummy n said hello mei mei....
Findingmiki.. i am also waiting waiting for my turn to come... but iui is still not what i wanted if i have a choice... but let see how it goes...do take care!!!
