Hi Ladies,
I am new to this forum, I need advise & to hear from you all. Before I start, Congrats to all the mummy to be, continue to be positive and stay chill with ur little beanie & deliver a healthy baby. For those who are trying lets all try tgt & hope to join mummy club soon...!
I had a MC in my first nature unexpected pregnancy in 2010, after which I rested for about a yr then i start trying to conceive again. However sad to say my pte gyn in raffles told me that I have PCOS, also irregular menses. So I was started with Clomid, but it did'n wk, so I proceed with Clomid with follicle tracking, during follicle tracking dr will inject a medication when he think the follicle is big enough to conceive,
it did not wk on me as well. In 2012 Hubby & I decide to change gyn & hospital although my gyn is very nice & the nurses there are nice too, but we experienced too many sad memories in Raffles though of just changing a new environment for a new start. I went to TMC, seeing Dr Benjamin (after reading so many gd comment about him). Yes he is nice and gentle when consulting, but the waiting time is very long & the nurse over there is also not very nice compared to Raffles. In TMC, Dr Ben let me start the clomid cycle again this round with metformin saying that metformin can help in PCOS. in these 2 yrs I got 2 episode of ?MC as it was too early to determine but the AF was super duper heavy & with blood clots, & the pain is worst than my 1st confirm MC. On the 2nd episode of ?MC I I suppose to see Dr Ben for review after my HL and plan for IUI, however the nurses slot me in to see Dr Jasmine saying that Dr Ben is really full & my appt was too last min. I am comfortable with my new gyn, she is very gentle & take time to explain to us. She suggest me not to waste my money & time since I had try so many times with Clomid even on metformin & follicle tracking injection. She told me IVF will benefit more than IUI for me. She refer me to see Dr Matthew Lau for IVF, since we can get grant fr govt & use medisave. Currently she just prescribe to me Progesterone to induce my menses, Coz i had missed it for 4 mths.
She also give me 1 more round of climid in case i want to try 1 more round of nature. My Qns will be:
1: Should I try 1 more round? or head to make appt for IVF? undeceive....
2: When Should I call KKIVF to book appt to see Dr Matthew? Now while waiting for AF or when AF come?
3: Is it even if I call early I may not be able to schedule for IVF on my nxt AF?
4: Once seen by Dr Matthew, we will be schedule for blood test & counselling by Nurse right?
5: After Blood test, wait for AF to come, then DAY 1 call to make appt for 1st scan?
6: From 1st scan date till when we are able to get official HL, estimate how long will it be- 1 or 2 weeks? (Because i need plan take leave for this period, my wk can't afford for me happy happy go see dr then dunno what time the appt will finish. Haiz shift wk... )
7: The HL will cover the 2 week waiting period right?
8: The food that u all eating like egg white, longan drink, chicken essences, brazil nut, when u all start eating? Before AF come or after?
** Sorry me for so many qns to ask...
With Love
