2WW - for those TTC-ing

Hi hope_4_bb,

Anur priya is a friend of a my doc friend at NUH O&G.She's trusted.so don't worry.have u done ur IUI.that time,when i was considering IUI,& it was going to happen on a sat,Prof wong also told me anur priya is going to do it,not
him.have u tried IUI b4? since i've gone thru' this at NUH,i'll let u know the nitty gritty so that u'll be prepared.are u currently under the care of Pc wong? juz that the iui will be done by anur priya? who is ur referring doc? my referring doc is mary rauff.she works hand in hand with pc wong.they are 2 very experienced & good docs.maybe u can choose pc wong if u're not comfortable with anur priya.fr wat my gynae friend told me,pc wong has very high standards.having said that,i must be damn unlucky to have failed 2 iuis in his hand.haha.

usually 2 scans.day 12 post period will be the 1st scan.pc wong's waiting time is not very long.quite fast.scan is very fast.next scan will be dependent on wat he sees on day 12.there was nothing wrong with my ovulation.i went thru' 3 rounds of these.only 2 iuis,coz the 1st time,i was still stubborn.i believed in the power of my hubby's swimmers.haha.

the day of iui will be determined.Gonyl F or Ovidrel will be administered.can't rem how long b4 iui.there's a time range.gonyl F is an intra-muscular injection.given on bum or arm.my friend jabbed me,so not nice to show her my ass.i took it on the arm.volume is a lot.1 full syringe.a little painful,but bearable.2nd time,i took Ovidrel.i think whether u take ovidrel or gonyl F depends on the size of the follicle and when the doc thinks it will be ovulated.ovidrel is given on the abdomen.it's a subcutaneous injection.surprisingly,not painful at all.volume is very little.no bleeding post injection.to me,that's a lot more comfortable.iui will be done,end of story.hope for the best.do u already have kids?

babykoh,
i agree wtih u.if u're on a mission,sex can never be enjoyable.i try to,i must admit i still enjoy it.but the whole atmosphere is changed.sometimes i don't know whether i put too much pressure on my hubby,so his swimmers can't perform as well.there is absolutely nothing wrong wtih my ovulation,juz the structure of my uterus.actually,for my 1st preg,i was also on a mission,but that time juz got off contraception.so i said juz try.somemore i started trying 3 mths b4 my wedding.must plan properly so tummy won't show.not that i'm not open minded.i ROM-ed the yr b4,so i'm officially married.i juz dont' want the oldies to gossip,my dad's side are huge gossip mongers.


Juz faith,joanne,

thx for ur encouragement.i feel more consoled.yes,i went back to work.1st time,i rested 2 days.but i'm on commission work,so cannot help it.anyway,if u think of natural conception,all u do is lie in bed for 20 mins/for the whole night,right? no one takes time off work.maybe i'm a bit different.as much as i want a fam,i also want my career.i've put in so much hard work for my career.my dad spent so much money on my education,i want to progress.
 


monstor,
i just called NUH to change to PC wong. Coz not much comments hear abt DrAnur.
I am saying IUi is ard 2-3k dpending on the no of scan u have rite?I know IVF is more than 10k

I have no kids yet and married for 1.5 yrs. plus with my preexsting illness and poor hubby sperm. I am getting real worried.

what is Gonyl F or Ovidrel for?when do the doc inject the Sperm into your body? SO after the injection of sperm, u carry on your normal activities?

You have any kids b4? or any other problem like cyst or endo?
 
monster,
sorry to hear your second attempt failed.
yah, probably try natural, some couples do get it off treatments.
i hope i m one of them too.
curious, u mentioned your gynae as pc wong, referring is mary rauff.
r u a subisized patient.

if eventually i hve to embark on ivf, i'll do it at nuh, rather than KKH, coz my blood doctor is at nuh, and they hve all my pre-existing records.
but i thougt, on subsi, no fixed gynae?

btw, had my scan with gyane again.
hiaz, cd14, egg should hvae grown to 18-20mm, but only 13mm, since last measured thurs at 10mm.
very slow growth. lhs, no growth at all, around same as last thur (10mm).concluded - poor O, need medication (i dreaded taking clomid!)
but good news, wall lining very good, 10mm. probably not on clomid.
but saw some white patch at lining, suspected to be endometrosis??
propose if i intend for iui, will be full puregon jab liao.

the more visits i pay, the more issues suspected.endo, cysts, hump etc.

gynae propose i rescan thurs, if egg grows well to ideal, hcg jab. might be in time for iui this sat, if we are keen. but he is not optimistic about the egg growth, neither do I.
if scanning done, is just to buy a hope, as well to confirm if continously growth attained.

i am contemplating
1) totally off any more scans.let nature take its course
2) if thur still -ve, will postphone to sat scan to reconfirm egg sizze, then decide on iui(abit wasted coz wall lining thick, if dun do iui)
3) or scope in june. abstain same mth
4) rest june and july.coz both mths got commitments which clash with any gynae activiites
5) proceed with scope aug such that all doubts cleared before next iui.
6) buy a chance do iui (full puregon) next mth, before scope.

wanted to proceed directly to scope next mth, but all these high medical bills eating up to our savings, + the frequent mc does not looks nice on my performance.

+ the scope is not a guarantee to detect the root cause to our infertility.

wat do you girls suggest??


hope ,
after iui, suggested to rest for the day itself (thou internet indicate can resume normal activities).
no heavy weights, heavy shopping, restrain heels, "liang food", no jogging or streneous exercise throught the whole 2ww.

depends on individual, but above precautions allows better implantation in case of weak womb.

once egg is of right size, hcg jab carried out usually next day to relase the egg.thereafter, gynae will time iui about 36-48hrs later.
hubby sperm collection and washed, 2hr pocedure. thereafter insemination into your womb (iui). roughly a 5-10mins procedure( thoug mine avg is 30mins). thereafter rest for 20mins. and done!!
 
devilina,
clearing of blood clot, abstain 3mths before ttc.
tats means,detected via laproscopy?

for my case, suspected endo. if i not comfy for the video hysteroscopy, he could give me med to clean off the endo (if do not have endo, med wont cause side effort)but eventually, he porpose scope will do me good
 
ceraine,
are you also in NUH with PC wong? Hw was yr experience there so far?
I was also previously under NUH Gyne Su lin lin. but trfer to the Centre of reproductive centre.

I also died died have to stick with NUH as I have a lot of preexisting record there.

How much did your IUI work out to?

Do you mean that IUI can only carry out if the follicles is 18mm?
 
hi justfaith
Good luck n hope to hear good news in 2 wks time

hi jaspire
Welcome back!! hows ttc so far?
happy.gif



hi ceraine
Am sorry to hear abt this, did u ask dr fong y egg size is like that now? cause i rem when u were with lc,and 1st iui with dr fong, eggs were growing very well n ideal.. was it due to clomid or purgeon that kinda screwed up the way the eggs were growing... cause in the past, everything was ok, no reason why suddenly like this...
 
hope,
nope, i wasnt with nuh.
does have an encounter with them during my last preg(which eventually turn out mc). Was so pissed off with the doctor there, a fairly young lass, at most 30yrs of age.
no sac was detected, but the doc do nothing, except told me "there is nothing we could no now, except wait for 2weeks. either will natural miscarrigae off. suspecting ectopic etc". just wait.
no hcg jabs,pills to try to substain the preg.
this incident realli discourages me from NUH.
But ..sooner later, i have to go back (for ivf if i realli cant conceive)

roxyz,
yah, with lc, everything fine.but it was only a a short 1mth cycle monitoring.can ovulate well, good hcg level.hiaz.
probably too short a stay with him, to pick up the problems, as we didnt folowup with him thereafter liao.

ist iui with dr fong, egg was okie due to clomid, it helps to boost the growth. but he did mention didnt seems to further grow furhter, or growth slowed down. nonetheless, proceed to iui, with hope it grows 2mm/day, lining was 9mm (considered ideal as minimum wall lining for iui is 8mm)

second iui, puregon boost the egg growth to 16mm very fast, but clomid intake weakens the lining.and didnt manage to thicken furhter prior to iui, at 6+mm nia. failed iui likely due to thin wall lining.

but right from ist consulation with him, which happens to be my cd15, egg only 7mm, wall lining good at 9+mm too. then and there, he commented either i not o well, or already o.
hence put me on clomid and that is how i start my iui with him.

He concluded i cant O naturally, need medication, which was proven with both the clomid/puregon. (coz this month i was on nothing, and growth really slow, a mm a day)

spoken to nurse to find out more on claim a while ago, she commented too, with the "hump" + the white patch, will further affect implantation, and might lead to furhter miscarriage, coz its a hindrance to implantation.
probably this explains y both iui, i have very faint hpt line, but failed eventually???
anyway, she'll find out roughly how much my total bill will come to. shall wait for her reply.
 
hi ceraine,
i tght u mention " coz my blood doctor is at nuh, and they hve all my pre-existing records."

what is the name of the young lass you encounter b4?
 
hope,
yes, unless i really have to go thur ivf, where i need medications to curb bleeding, and medical bill will be damn high if i do it at current gynae side as private, i will have to go back to NUH if eventualli i need IVF.
IVF will be my last resort as i will have more complications.

eei, not sure lei, its a one time consultation and i never ever go back!
 
ceraine,
wah scary le..u seems to have bad experience there....

but so fat my expereince with the doc..still ok..nt sure abt pc wong..nvr see or talk to him b4

the young lass..issit under subsidied patient? I seen as subsidied patient before and the doc very young and inexperienced.that y i switch to pte patient
 
hi hope 4 bb
personally i dun like nuh also... ive never been there but my hubby relatives were there and seems like wrong diagnosis was given which might have led to her death so im always very skeptical abt nuh.. all young doctors mah and will not go there unless really no choice...


hi ceraine
Oh dear... seems like the road to ttc is getting more difficult for u, but dun give up k? Was it due to more stress that caused eggies not to grow well or general health reasons... there prob is a reason why, will tcm be able to tell? if can pinpoint the reason will be good...i tink the total bill might be alot. Can claim subsidy from govt? any way to take purgeon to improve egg size but at same time take pills to thicken wall lining?
 
ceraine
why dont u go for the full puregon...take more egg whites to thickien your lining? tink dun waste time with clomid since ur egg growth is good with puregon.
 
Hi hope,

unfortunately,I cannot tell u the full cost of iui coz i'm also in the med field,so i get a bit of discount.i can give u a rough idea...

each scan:$80+ (usually 2 scans required)
u will need to do a lot of blood tests & those are $100+.one set for u,one set for ur hubby.unless u have already done it.

iui:$600+
Gonyl F or Ovidrel: $80+.

i'm under the impression it's under 1K.i don't rem paying so much.

gonyl F & ovidrel are to trigger ovulation.

i had a stillbirth july 2008.since then,no luck.i'm still trying.i came so close leh.28 wks,u know? short of 8 wks or even less.i was all ready for the baby.everything,including diapers all bought.then my world came crashing down.

seriously,as wat mary rauff said,most of the men's sperm analysis will yield terrible results.none she has seen has conformed to WHO standard.so all our hubby's swimmers are poor swimmers.my hubby's,at best,average.if his swimmers are so bad,how did i conceive so easily the 1st time? 2 mths of trying only.i'm now thinking it's more of the structure of my uterus that is affecting my chances.

ceraine,

my gynae is prof mary rauff.she doesn't do fertility treatment.she refers her patients to PC wong.they both do not see subsidized patients.hope_4_bb mentioned she was transferred to the center for reproductive treatment.i didn't even know there's one.i juz tot PC wong is the person who does all the fertility treatment.anyway,he's one of the best in his field.the other one being SF [email protected] wong doesn't talk much,but he's quite conservative in his treatment.he doesn't believe in screwing u up with hormones.i'm grown to like him.initially,i tot he didn't care.but if u ask,he will answer.

rem i mentioned abt mid cycle bleeding b4? that occurred when i started clomid.i was excited abt clomid,coz i tot that would really booast my chances.but at that time,i tot:doc didn't even scan,juz put me on clomid.i never went bak to that doc on KKH.btw,i was a subsidised patient at KKH.once i was abt 24 wks pregnant,i changed to private,coz i wanted a gynae who could handle complications if it occurred.i wasn't worried,coz i had an idea of wat tests should be done when during the pregnancy.i read up a lot.

do u feel the hormones has been screwing up ur body? i'm a lot happier w/o clomid.the 3 rounds of scans really consoled me,though i had 2 failed iuis.and seriously,having gone thru' 2 IUIs,i feel more relaxed than ever.even if u tell me to try naturally now.if u rem,the reason i wanted assisted conception was coz of hubby's silly attitude he was giving me.somehow,after i said i wanted to give up,he changed.hope this will be permanent.i don't feel so torturous now.

u poor girl,u are going thru' so much now.emtionally,medically.wat was ur prob to start with? i had no prob,really,but i deliberately made it sound like i had a prob,so doc will do iui for me.then i won't have to 'beg' hubby.i was juz thinking to myself today.i took a step back & had a look at the big picture,as to y i embarked on this journey & put myself thru' all these.

i think i had been sucked in to all these minute details,like size of follicles etc.i assume i ovulate on day 17, coz mine is 30 day cycle.that was how i calculated with the 1st preg as well.

1st & 2nd round of scans were good.alternate ovulation fr right & left ovaries.1 follicle each time,grown to 18mm at day 17.

3rd round,scared me.but by then,i was already more relaxed.usually a follicle is detected on day 12,1st day of the scan.but round 3,no follicles detected! i tot i've blown my chances.that was on a thurs.doc told me to go back on tues.surprise surprise! follicle 18mm already! i was then prescribed ovidrel to trigger ovulation.

i suggest u sit back,go off all the drugs,let ur body rest.continue tcm if u want,i don't think tcm affects as much as the drugs.

okie,that's juz my 2 cents worth.good luck
 
Roxy,

Thanks for the well wishes.

Keeping my fingers crossed. Not hoping for the best but at least I tried my best.... You know, I am not harbouring so much hopes and even asked for clomid for next cycle as I will be away in the 3rd week. I dun wan to miss any cycle
sad.gif
((

Had 1st IUI today. Think my side has not much of a problem as my follicle was 25 & 26 on D14. Unfortunately, my DH did not deliver good sperms today.. **arrghhhh** angry with him liao... Think he is guilty after reading the SA and has agreed to start multi-vit and enzyme.

Just like monster, I am also on commission basis. I am working from home and so is my DH. He attended to my work for the rest of the day. So I had bed rest as much as I could do. And occasionally got disturbed by phone calls.

Now, I am experiencing pain on my right side. I had this mild pain some 2 days back ... but the pain got worsened after I had my HCG jab... but still bearable. Is this normal?
 
catmon,
yes, tats what dr fong suggested too, full puregon. it wont affect my wall lining then.
but i still have the issue of the 'hump" which toughens the insemination process, but ultimately, how bad it will affect implantion/miscarriage.
somehow decided to go ahead with the scope le. should correct the problem (which we hope is really the problem) before i embark on anyting, else i guess, will end up with another failed iui
sad.gif

abit confused too,though dr fong mentioned the "hump" should not be affecting our fertility, except obstructing
anyway..

also, my frd whom saw dr fong few yrs back commented how come he proceed directly iui on me, which he should hve scope me, give me med to clear last mth menses, before embarking on iui.
when she was with him, gynae conducted hsg, laproscopy, give med clear her womb. when all's obstacles cleared, proceed with iui.

read your post he cleared your clots too. hmmm....did he miss out someting on me?

roxyz,
yah, seems getting tougher. hiaz....duno when it might come to a blissful ending.

monster,
when we first consulted gynae, that was with the mindset that our problem lies in hubby, sperm motility moderate due to thyroid.i was given clean bill of health by previous gynae.
as well, lapse of a year since the last cycle monitoring, hence i tot to have a re-examine.
was really in a shock when i learned of all the "problems" on me now!!!

yes, will still be on tcm to tiao body.

a part of me says scope in aug....tcm interim, it might help.
another voice tell me....3mths wasted, what if i dun get preggy, i waste a nice 3mths.
another voice tells me, if its not meant to be mine , timing not right, no matter what i do, its fruitless.

hiaz....
 
roxyz,
gyane can give reason y eggies not growing well mah? hubby ask me the same question too which i have no answer to..
i realli wish to find out.

i duno, it seems unless i embark on scope, i am deemed to fail iui or natural preggy.
or probably we complicate the matter, building a mountain over the hump issue, which could have been juz a mold.

now our worry is, if we manage to pregg, will miscarriage?????i guess i will blame myself then for not going thru the scope, when i obviously know i have to go thru it first to get preggy.

anyway, clearer answers on the hump le.
it could be an ingrown tissue, or polpys.

people see light rays ahead, but i am seeing a path shadowed by uncertainies, by impossibilities......
 
Hi ladies,

Any good ladies gynae to recommend? I am trying to conceive but I have POCs. Previous gynae put me on clomid for 4 mths but no scanning for me. Thanks!
 
ladies,
detected +ve opk le, instead of delighted, i was sad!
coz ovulation at eggsize non-ideal for possible pregnancy.
unless miracle lah. likely, today egg size at 14mm or 15mm nia
 
Ladies,
i am back... this month i dun see any O on my side
sad.gif
not too sure whether i did O or not just BD on alternate days starting on the 11th day onwards....

ceraine,
sorry to hear abt ur second attempt. what's ur intention now? me still cannot make up my mind whether i should go back gynae to continue with 3 months of clomid or should i just take TCM?

Sim,
i have PCOS too.. my gynae did a scan n told me all is ok just ensure regulation of menses to have O so as to have some chances.. i am seeing Dr Koh Cheng Huat at Toa Payoh.. he is quite a nice doc but just that the waiting time is quite long...
 
sharon,
this month not doing anything, no medication etc.
just monitor cycle.
will be going for scope nxt mth.
i guess no pt for another iui again at this point

you will just on clomid without iui?
you may incorporte with tcm.
coz wall lining will thins with clomid, and tcm should be able to help thicken it (thats what clementi tcm mention, though i am not seeing him now)

good luck
 
hi ceraine
did u check with dr fong why egg size of 14 can trigger a lh surge? cause normally eggs are 20 before they are released, hence trigerring the lh surge... im not sure whether dr fong has the answer, but being the expert n u all pay him so much, he should have some reason be it lifestyle, diet or whatever... any reasons found over internet...dun worry abt mc and tink so far, get preg first and everything will proceed smoothly.. 1 mc doesnt mean the rest of preg will mc.. a few of us here also mc but went on to deliver healthy babies... so dun worry gal!!


hi sharon
Just bd alternate days is enough to cover all... im sure u O le and since u BD already, now in 2ww le..


hi justfaith
Seems like some of the gers here also had pain after doing iui, im not sure abt it, prob they can advice u better...
 
Hi Juz faith,

how come ur follicles are so huge?! were u on SO-IUI? otherwise how come there were 3 follicles? I have the impression that if follicles are too large,unsuitable too.PC wong didn't suggest SO-IUI to me.I didn't want to 'waste' my eggs,and i didn't want to take too much hormones,afraid it will screw up my body.Everytime i did the IUI,i had 1 follicle,abt 18mm.

i didn't have backpain.but i always have cramps.even w/o IUI,i also expereince cramps.soemtimes i wonder if it's PMS.wat was the quality of ur hubby's sperm? to be honest,i don't think most of our hubbies can deliver sperm quality that conforms to WHO standards.so don't put too much pressure on ur hubby.I think i'm a lot more relaxed now.u wouldn't hear me saying this a couple of mths ago.i used to think it's my hubby's fault too.his sperm vol was average,swimmers were average too for both times.but it was improved to rapid thru' the wash.there's nothing much u can do now except to pray for the best & wait.it's agonising,but many of us here have been thru' it many times already.i'm almost immune to it already.

ceraine,

I think the more we check,the more problems we find.i really find u're so similar to me,in terms of mindset as well.i'm going to leave it up to fate,then go for IVF.take 1 step at a time.conceive 1st,then worry abt maintaining the pregnancy.it's already so stressful ttc.so y u think way ahead of it? even during preg,i took 1 step at a time.i wanted to pass thru' the 1st trimester 1st,coz i know chances of miscarriage is highest during the 1st trimester.then i concentrated on 2nd trimester.

i'm giving up on IUI.enough money spent,chances only 20+%.not high.i knew that to start,but i tot juz try.i think i'll c how it goes for the next few mths,then go for IVF.might as well lah.we have been thru' so much already.IVF is not as scary,only more money spent
 
roxy..
yah on the 2wws lor... but because i think the clomid is making me nauseous ...

any idea if really preggy will the breast be painful? that's what i heard from many pregy women?
 
jsut faith,
sorry to dampen your mood, my frd had her egg scans too, and follicle size was like 20+ over, of which gynae say its not a good sign. Means the egg cant be released.

Different people experience different symptom, If your pain is unbearable, eg cant walk, cramps, spotting/bleeding, pls consult your gynae. your gynae should have prescribed you with hormone pills or inserts which will help to contain the pain.

after my first iui, i was in so much pain and couldnt walk.

monster,
i have to think way ahead in terms of pregnancy possible complications, risk of substaining pregnancy as i have blood disorder.
no doubt its minor, but it will pose danger to me and the baby if i have bleeding etc.
mine will never be a simple straight forward pregnancy.
 
hi ceraine,
may i ask y after iui u got so much pain? i heard it was pretty painless jut liek doing pap smear?

Btw for the scan of the follicles on day 12, may i know is a exterior scan or those internal scan like checking blocked tubes?
 
Hi ceraine,

aiyoh,u think too much! wat blood disorder do u have? i have en elevated level of Ig something,can't rem.if u think abt ur m/c.wat abt me? stillbirth at 28 wks leh! deliver at 28 wks,also risky for baby.otherwise,if i lose baby at 28 wks,i'll be devastated again.i'm worse than u,gal.it's a no-win for me.u have to understand m/c in 1st trimester is very common

relax.u will drive urself mad.i'm on the verge of madness if i go on with all these,that's y i've decided to stop for this mth
 
ceraine, wat blood disorder do you have?
for me, i have lupus antibodies. no flare ups till now (touch wood), just the antibodies. i din even know i have lupus antibodies until my girl was born. my girl was born with neonatal lupus. it's a 1 in 20,000 chance but my girl has recovered. she only has skin problems (a big butterfly patch on her face but it's barely visible now. just shows a little under sunlight) when she was born, other than that, she's ok.

best to ask doc for details and remember his diagnosis. then, you'll be better prepared for the next pregnancy. don't despair and don't give up.
happy.gif
my next baby would have a 25% of getting neonatal lupus but i'll still give it a try. things are not that bad.
 
tub,
i also have lupus...but cant even concieve now..so nvr worry abt neonatal lupus yet. I know a few lupus people that give birth to healthy bb
 
hi sharon
Not for my no 1 and now... just that the breasts are bigger than normal but its not painful...


hi monster
Sometimes its good to go for a break, relax and start all over again. There's only so much we humans can take without breaking down... maybe u can go for another short trip
 
hi ladies,
just curious. does anyone of you continue to monitor your bbt? do you see the peak past O?
there isn't a clear "rise" for mine so i'm wondering if it's a common thing.
Anyway, i somehow need to run to the toilet in the middle of the night or early morning so it's kinda hard to have a restful sleep. how to get accurate reading then?

monster,
i don't get much response from DH regarding all my visits to the gynae & tcm. I guess most guys are not good with their words so they'd rather not say something wrong? I have to volunteer info. to keep him updated of what's happening. sometimes i really hope he'd take a more active approach but as a capricorn, he's really not the sort...

joanne,
me shd be in 2ww le. have you O-ed?

i'm also going to consider ivf but after i've decided if i need to do a lap first. don't want to waste $ if i've already had endo or other conditions that would affect chances of conceiving.

sigh. this follicle size issue is sure tricky. too big or too small also cannot :\
 
sharon, of course
happy.gif
even for same person, diff preg will get diff symptoms.. each preg is totally unique and different... are u having sore breasts now?
 
nope i am not... intially when i took clomid i did have such symptoms but now completed third cycle now in the 2wws... last cycle i dun seems to O but i just bd on alt days just in case... just feeling very very tired.
 
Hope_4_bb,

I have something that puts me at risk of autoimmune disease,but i don't not have the lupus antibodies.my antibodies are general,not pointing to a certain disease.

1 thing u should be consoled abt,having lupus does not mean u cannot conceive.no connection at all,if i'm not wrong.

i have been to NUH haematology department to test for thrombophilia after the stillbirth.i read a poster on ppl with lupus having healthy babies.it says it's possible to have a healthy pregnancy despite having lupus.so u r safe!!!! don't worry abt that 1st.u will need to be on heparin & be monitored very closely.

if u're worried abt neonatal lupus,all the more u should only go to KKH or NUH if u get pregnant.in my opinion,these 2 hospital have the best neonatal care.since u're seeing PC wong,might as well have all ur treatment at NUH coz the haematology department is quite good as well.
 
yup..i been seeing the rhuetomology team for past 12 yrs..that y they say for gyn have to stick to NUH as all my thick 8 sets of medical records are in NUH
 
Hi Monster,

To answer your earlier post, no, I am not on SO-IUI. This is the first time in my entire life seeing Gynae for irregular menses. She did a scan for me on D2 (saw some follicles, abt 4, i think) and have been on clomid for 5 days. Think you need to note that I am 100mg clomid, unlike the norm 50mg. Guess she gave me double dosage because I have PCOS - I have problem ovulating. As D12 was vesak day - clinic nt open, I scanned on D14 - I was surprised to see two big follicles. Lucky lining still in gd condition as i was on 100mg clomid. She was even telling me good chance for twins, provided my husband's swimmers are good and can swin fast. Unfortunately, my husband's swimmer sucks on motility lor.. think 49 (normal is > 50)... he is barely there nia.

Hi Ceraine,

I have no hard feelings abt your comments.. lol.. dun worry. As I mentioned to my DH, I did what I could do.... I hope my feel is right, egg(s) released. But I am not sure if these eggs r of good quality... U know, I always have this feeling these are overdued follicles, not healthy ones since I am one who cant ovulate regularly.
 
hi muski
Nope.. Hasnt o yet.. Sigh.. My cycle days always more than 30days.. Super sianz.. Think u will be doing iui first before me.. For me,i Had did a lap before few yrs ago..

Hi sharon
When i hv bfp 4 mths ago after do soiui, i remember before my 2ww over, the first thing i feel different is sore breast.. That time still didnt know that its a positive sign that i had bfp result.. But too bad the happiness is not long..sadz..think different pp really got different preggy symptons..
 
Hi Sharon,

Thanks for sharing. I would prefer to have a female gynae. Btw, for yr POCs is your mense regular? I realise my menses is getting lesser and lesser..=( wonder is it normal...
 
Hi Sim,
Try Dr Jocelyn Wong... my cousin is with her... heard she is quite good. Dr Wong is with TMC..
my menses prior to clomid was not regular at all.. sometimes monthly, sometimes by once every 2 months... its never accurate... i can never catch my cycle...

Hi Joanne & Roxy,
thanks for sharing.
 
Hi Sharon..

We are both in the same boat.. heee... with PCOS.
My menses had always been irregular.. sometimes wan to come, sometimes just simply no sign, no signal.... It was only lately that I decide to see a gynae becos of my irregular menses. But it turns out to be that I have PCOS. Finally can ovulate this month with the help of clomid. But too much clomid will thin the lining - so have this, will lose that.

I am now more careful with goes into my mouth. As i have metal implants (with 27 screws to be exact), it is kinda difficult for me to exercise regularly - only swimming is okay. But must find DH to exercise with me, since he doesnt allow me to go to pool alone.

Just hoping for the best for my first IUI... I need lota luck.... if fail, i will not give up, will try n try until i succeed.

I have not attempted TCM as I wanted to give western medicine a chance to help me....
 
Hi Just faith,
i just learnt abt the thining of lining.... so now contemplating if i should seek TCM help at the same time... to balance lor...

I tink I noe why dr fong said it's just obstructing...coz when u do IUI, you need to have full bladder so that the "path" is str8 for the commandos to chiong in. With the hump, unless the commandos are strong, then it shldnt be a prob...else it's an obstruction.

Yep, I did clear the blood clots with him. I did 2 rounds of clomid & it doesnt work, so I told him that I'm quite sure I wanna get preggy this yr...so he suggested I clear the blood clots & then we try for Puregon. I sat down with him & discuss all the possible precedures I can go thru before finally going for IVF. U just nid to be firm & know exactly what you want...and show him that U realli wants it.
 
Hi, long time din post because past few weeks wasn't good. HCG level did not raise well and sac could not be detected.. so gynae just gave me a jab to kill the cell and next week will be going for review to see if this jab works well otherwise will have to go for surgery.. After taken this jab, im not supposed to get pregnant in the next 3-4 months.. anyway, i have also decided to rest for abt a year..

Good luck to the rest who are trying.. do still remember to spread the baby dust to me ya

Oh ceraine, mine is conceived thru IVF

Hi Ladies,

Can I check with those who have gone thru HSG test what was it like?

Mine was almost unbearable as the radiologist pushed in the dye!! And she made me turn to the sides too. I'm wondering if this is an indication that the tubes are blocked??? *sigh*
 


hi marisa,

It's natural to experience discomfort or cramps when the dye was injected. If i'm not wrong, they need to take x-rays on your sides as well, hence the turning. The discomfort I experienced wasn't too bad so I was able to make my way back home after I had changed.
Don't worry too much abt the results yet.
For some people with tubes that are mildly blocked, pushing in the dye actually helps to clear the obstruction
