Hi I now have tried for the 6 month. still no good news yet. quite demoralized already. i thought this month will have good news as my period was late for 2 days but AF come
Ya..my hubby & I jus went for a check up last mth at mt alvernia. .can't deduct..Hi, I am trying to conceive too. When you go KK for the check mostly can claim medisave? I thinking to go for the checking...was looking at Thomson fertility clinic but don't think their package can deduct from medisave..am quite lost.
Hi babe, what type of symptoms u have to lead to suspecting endometriosis? I have been ttc but to no avail, I first went to dr Khoo in kkh on suspicion of endometriosis but he said my mensus r so regular and flow isn't heavy he referred me to iui. I did 4 iui 1ivf but failed. I have backache as pms and usually my pms cramps will last for a week until mensus come then cramps will go away. Endo symptoms differ for everyone but just checking if u have heavy irregular period? I switched from subsidised to priv under dr Tan hh and he suggested a laparoscopy to diagnose if there's endometriosis or not cos of my significant cramps.. I'm not sure if I should go for it or seek second opinion cos dr Khoo didn't want me to do a laparoscopy on first place hence refer me to Ivf centreYup I first went to a gynae for that, but no fibroid nor cyst found, suspected endometriosis as I have all the symptoms but again it would be too tiny to see, and the HSG also didn't show anything. Oh by the way I have a retroverted uterus, something about it facing the other way.

Hi, u should probably try seeking consultation with your doc and see if a laparoscopy is essential to check on endometriosis. I don't have heavy flow and in fact my flow lightened since I got married 2 yrs back, regular mensus but my cramps lengthened till at least one week before arrival of mensus and only goes away after arrival of mensus. I used to have cramps so bad I got to lie in bed and if I didn't tke painkiller I end ip in cold sweat and may faint. I also have diarrhoea right before arrival of mensus but this I'm not sure if is a sign of endo as some people do get diarrhoea before mensus as our internal organs r all so near to each other. Some ladies here have regular normal flow yet diagnosed with endo. I haven been successful with 4 iui 1 Ivf despite 2 of my iui yielding good results. Ivf shows no embryo or sperms abnormality hence dr Tan suggested a laparoscopy. I was hesistant for awhile but thinking back on my history of cramps it could well be endometriosis that's causing infertility so I decided to go for laparoscopy end of this month. Seek help earlier if your cramps r getting bad to Endure, there's no point to keep going on clomid if there's an existing underlying issue. Btw clomid can only be taken for a period of about half yr after which one got to stop as it increases risk of ovarian cancerHi Hopeful,
I have extremely heavy flow just like a running tap, and extremely painful cramps that sometimes cause me to break out in cold sweat and faint. I also have diarrhoea 1/2 days before and during period, painful bowel movements. Backaches all the time and bloating. My period is regular every month and these suffering periods only started being like this early 2014.
Just want to add, I am unsuccessful in conceiving on my 3rd cycle of clomid. should I take a break from clomid, or should i continue?
Thanks babe for sharing. I have significant cramps and my tcm can't find anything unusual. Been to few Gynaes as well. My tests to date show normality. I decided to go for lap as dr Tan said my cramps r significanti have endometriosis too.
everything was regular for me but it was discovered when I once fainted at work due to my cysts.
I happen to have painful cysts on that day.
I was sent to nearby hospital and doctor do a t/v scan on me and spotted the cysts.
fortunately the cysts were small then so I manage to conceive and give birth to my boy now 18m old.
not sure how big they are now.
endometriosis in Chinese is better known as 子宫内膜异
meaning to say a part of the uterus lining gets deposited elsewhere inside you.
I suspect it is due to our jobs being desk bound, not moving around a lot.
therefore our period is sort of not "cleaned" fully out of us.
this is just my own thinking.

Hi, hsg is one of the first test kkh doctor had me tested for. My tubes r fine no blockage. One will not know severity of endometriosis until a laparoscopy. Endometriosis can lead to infertility due to scarring of the endometrium tissues growth and may cause organs to stick to each other. Endometriosis growth is not partaining to only blockage of tubes but can be growth inside of ovaries outside of ovaries etc. No doubt best to leave it alone but if it impairs fertility then it shouldn't be left untouched. I had went thru 4 iui 1 Ivf but to no avail. Embryo quality is fine, lining abit on Low side for Ivf but moderate for iui .. Not sure what else is wrong and cause I usually cramp for a week leading up to arrival of af, gynae suggested a laparoscopyHi Hopeful, have you gone for a HSG to check if your tubes are blocked? My tubes are clear so I guess my gynae did not suggest a lap to check for endometriosis. I vaguely remember I read somewhere that if you have endometriosis and it's not severe, it's best to leave it.
Yup indeed. I did my 1st scan at week 6 and saw the sac and yoke and she confirmed baby is on the way!Based on my LMP I went to see my gynae at my 6th week but turn out to be only my 5th week and gynae only see water bag. Mostly wait till 6th week then can see it.
Good Lucky!! My first pregnancy as well!
trying for the 8th month but still no good news. getting very depress. anyone experience it?

Hi MissNo. did u do only ultra scan for this check?I went for checkup.. And Doctor suspected endometriosis. He suggested a lap. I'm thinking if I should go ahead with the procedure... Because I do not have really painful menses, my flow is normal, just that fertility check showed that I have uterus facing backwards.... Ladies.. Any suggestion? The doc I'm seeing is Steven Teo.
i dont want to go into the stage of going ivf. what is your suggestion what is the maximum longest time to try naturally before going for ivf. i am 32 yrs old soonDon't be depressed and give up. Keep trying or go for IUI/IVF. I tried for 6.5 years before I got my BFP via IVF.
Yes, only ultra sound..Hi MissNo. did u do only ultra scan for this check?
i dont want to go into the stage of going ivf. what is your suggestion what is the maximum longest time to try naturally before going for ivf. i am 32 yrs old soon
It depends on yourself. I tried for a couple of years then did IUI but failed. Then I waited till last yr before I did IVF. By then, I had been married 6.5 years. And IVF is not a sure success so yes, that has to be factored in also. I regretted doing IVF so late though cos I'm 36 this year and I wish for a couple more children but don't know if I'll be too old then.
@CC C : So wld u b going 4 IUI? Or do u intend 2 go direct to IVF?
hi spinsterella, don't give up, 36 is still young. can i check where you did IUI? is it painful?
Yup not giving up! I'm pregnant with no 1 and my edd is next mth. Hoping I'll get no 2 soon after that.
I did IUI at Thomson women's clinic. It was a bit uncomfortable.. like cramps.
@spinsterella Oooo!!! Fingers cross for u /*\/*\/*\/*\/*\ how much for ur iui? My gynae recommended me do so-iui, the price range 3k-4k. I like my gynae very much, he give me a lot of advices n very patient
Mine was prolly about $800. But I did only once. Then after that I did my IVF at RH with a different gynae.
Yah v impt to get a patient gynae who gives advices and answer your questions!
@the_spinsterella mind to tell me more about procedures of IVF? because i heard the whole "processing" is very not easy..
@CC C: It wld b gd if u let your boss b aware dat u wld b doing IVF (shld u really decide 2 go 4 it) D frequent scans / doc visits as well as d HL after embryo transfer, u wld b taking time off, leave or MC quite often. I was fortunate 2 have bosses dat were encouraging as they were d ones who wanted me 2 get preggy. N even thu it wasnt successful, they told me 2 try again.
There's the long or short protocol depending on what your Dr suggest.
I did the long protocol where I did daily Lucrin injections for 6 weeks. Then 2 weeks of stimulating with Puregon which is also daily injections.
After that you will do the egg retrieval and once they are fertilized etc, you will do the embryo transfer.
It's a long process that involves lots of scans etc which means lots of Dr visits. Not easy.. but we got to try our best!
@the_spinsterella the procedures of ivf is really not easy >_<
Is there anybody same like me? Ovulated n scanned everything ok but then still not successful?
hi cc_c how many times ivf have you tried?@the_spinsterella the procedures of ivf is really not easy >_<
Is there anybody same like me? Ovulated n scanned everything ok but then still not successful?
