A place for the TTCs.. (Trying To Conceive)

louie,
Actually hor, I also not very sure what SO-IUI is. I heard about it from the past postings.
Think have to go for injections during the first few days of the cycle for more eggs to mature. Maybe that is why more expensive. Would need someone more knowledgeable to share this with us.
I think I probably respond well to clomid, that's why gynae did not recommend SO-IUI. Probably IUI is enough. Anyway, I still have not succeeded yet, with or without IUI. Haha..

Hi Gals
Thanks so much for your concerns. I done my lap on last thu... still waiting for my biopsy results to be out this thu... even though my gynae told me that it doesn't look like cancer cells to her, but can't help being worried...
I have also removed my left ovary during this op coz it's very badly inflammed and my gynae told me that even if I keep it, it's not going to help conceiving... so, I guess it would be even harder for me to conceive in future.
Nevertheless, think health is more important.
Thank you so much for the well wishes... as I'm still trying to recuperate... won't be logging on as often... but will try to update u gals on my well-being... Once again, thank you... I'm really touched...
Stella,
Saw yr mail about the scan, dun be worried too early. perhaps, u wanna try to see TCM for alternative advise? I saw online before that there's another gal who's gynae also told her cannot see the sac but after seeing TCM, the sac starts growing...
Do take care of yourself in the meantime... if u feel unwell... it's better to stay @ home for complete bed rest...

oso, he said to increase my dosage of clomid to 3 tablets (can die man!) for my next cycle so as to prepare the eggie for IUI. but i realie hope dat i can strike this time round cos i dun like taking clomid at all... haiz... but then again, my hubby's soldiers are not dat strong leh...

yuki,
my SIL also has 1 ovary removed, but she has no problem conceiving the next. Both her children are exactly 1 yr apart. Though it may take slightly longer to conceive, but one day you will definitely succeed. You know whenever I'm down due to ttc, my hubby will always tell me I must be patient to achieve what i want. If we believe in ourselves, one day, we will have our dreams come true. It just take slightly longer and doesn't mean Never. Do take care and recuperate fast k.

posh,
Got the following from the internet as I am not very good with explanation.
Q: What is an IUI and how is it done?
A: An IUI -- intrauterine insemination -- is performed by injecting washed sperm directly into the uterus through the cervix.
The process just takes a few minutes and have to lie down for 20-30 mins. I think only a gynae can perform such procedure. I am not sure, but don't think a GP can. I understand chances with IUI may increase but not a lot. I have done 3 IUIs but failed. But I have also heard of those who succeeded with IUI. So nevertheless, chances will increase with IUI.
The process is not painful for me. Something like pap smear. But have to have full bladder and have to tahan for about 30 mins before I can clear my bladder! For the last IUI, my gynae inserted something to clear my bladder for me cos my bladder was really bursting. Phew!
Later on, I learnt that I have a retroverted uterus. Not sure is that why full bladder is required. Or in general, full bladder is required for IUI. Better to consult the gynae for more advice if you are contemplating this option.
I hope the above helps.

the spotting around DPO10 sounds like implantation bleeding, the timing is right.
how's your BBT? still high?
if AF don't come tomorrow and BBT tmr is still high, you could test!

hi christine,

my gynae say may be mild PCOS, i will do a blood test 2/3d on my next cycle
yap, i 4 cycles of clomid already, still no good news

christine, beautiful.
You are welcome. I am glad to share what I know.
Yes, I took clomid prior to IUI. Taken 3 cycles of clomid together with 3 IUIs. But not successful. And yes, have to take leaves often to monitor the growth of the eggs. That is why I stopped eventually. Too stressful for me - urgent leaves and the waiting time at the clinic and the carpark is bad.
Frankly speaking, I did not know much about clomid and IUI previously. Gynae did not tell me I did not ovulate or ovulate well or not. She just told me clomid will help me, then I take. Then she suggested IUI will increase chance. Then since affordable, we also went for it. Maybe we did not do much research, so, our reasons for going for clomid and IUI are simply simple.
Some gynaes would recommended HSG test before going for IUI. Cos HSG will confirm if their tubes are okay. If tubes are blocked, then IUI will be wasted. For me, I performed the HSG test after 2 IUIs.
You can say that we just followed what the gynae suggested.
Fyi, I have been to 3 gynaes and 1 TCM. All say different things. Even with the same HSG report. Blur! And since I find going to gynaes more stressful, I just go to the TCM now.

posh,
Nope, my hubby went for the SA test willingly. Gynae suggested and he says okay. I am really glad that he is receptive to it.
Both of us wish to have kids. So, we are both putting in the effort. Including drinking bitter TCM.
But the only thing I do not have courage to do is going for the lap op.
That would confirm if my tubes are blocked and also any other causes to infertility. But it is an invasive procedure. So, I am very reluctant to do it, unless very necessary. Now, I hope that TCM would help.

hmm... perhaps i having mild PCOS too, dat's why my gynae put me on clomid. nw he wana increased the intake to 3 tablets. isit a lot? i've done HSG test liao, my tubes are fine, perhaps this is why he asked if we wld be interested to do IUI anot... now keeping my fingers crossed and hope i ovulate naturally this mth. shld be able to detect LH surge soon. i thot OPK will not be accurate for ladies with PCOS but gynae said can rely on it leh... now i oso getting confused...

christine,
How many were you taking previously? Did your gynae explain why he wants to increase to 3?
For the 3 cycles of clomid, I only took 1 tablet. According to the 1st gynae, I am responding well to it. That's why I did not take when the 3rd gynae I went to gave me 2 tablets the 1st time he sees me. Not comfortable.

whee,
me & hubby loves kids!! jus wondering if SA is a neccessary procedure coz i do not wish to stress him.
char,
i jus came back from dr heng's. she's indeed very friendly, staff there quite helpful too. she suggested clomid next cycle to help me ovulate. she says can try with a small dosage first & she will help me monitor.

whee,
lap really sounds too invasive a procedure. if not necessary dun go for it. how long have you been on TCM? have you felt any changes so far?

yuki, good to know tat u are ok
Take time to recupperate & think u'll need to seek help fr gynae to get ur preggie aft tat. But don't worry or be upset ok, we all behind u!!!
whee - thanks for the info. but my gynae didn't give me jab in earlier days lor, so even if she wanted to help me do IUI, it will be normal IUI not SO-IUI lor.
Christine - don't be too upset. Why can't take 2 tabs of clomid, but increase direct to 3 tabs? anywae, since ur hub's army not too good like u said, so guess ur gynae want to ensure tat u have a few good eggs to do IUI. Jus have to trust the doc i guess
Watever the side effects, as long can get preggie... I am willing
kermit - got ur email. Will collect fr post office next mon, got them to trsf pkg to takashimaya branch! hee... will write u a chq soon

posh,
We love kids too!
In fact, I want 4 - 2 boys 2 girls just nice (as if can plan.. haha..). Hubby thinks 2 is enough. Anyway, I am quite certain I will change my mind after I have my 1st. Haha.. 
How long have you been trying? If only a few months, then maybe not necessary for SA test yet. Probably the baby time has not come for you yet.
In fact, some gynaes will say go natural 1st and return for checkup only if still not conceived in 1 year. If have been trying for some time, good for him to test. If your hubby is slightly senior, good to test too. At least, you know what to do in case it is his problem.
My hubby is 6 years my senior (I am 30 this year). So, my gynae asks him to do the test think on the 2nd cycle we are seeing her (we started seeing gynae after TTC 3 months). Indeed, his sperm count is not very satisfactory. Think because of his age and work stress. Luckily hubby took the test and willingly.
I have been on TCM since Dec last year. Was not drinking the medicine regularly initially cos very troublesome. Was not willing to commit the time. But was very hardworking for the past 3 months. Now become part of our routine.
Improvement wise, my BBT chart has improved. BBT is higher after O. I was so excited the 1st time I saw the high temperature. Haha! My body also felt warmer. Other than that, not much.
My hubby is more observant to his body. So, he felt the change more. He felt more energetic (the medicine also 'bu' kidney). He felt his 'didi' is more 'alive' (I don't know how to describe. I am not sure if you know what I mean). Also, at times, during my O, dr will add medicine to increase his sexual desire. Hehe..
I am not sure how good is my TCM. Cos till now, I have not succeeded yet. But, since we quite like her, and what she says makes sense to us, and a lot of patients are seeing her (cos waiting time is long - some consolation), we will just follow her. At least we don't feel stressed waiting to see her compared to waiting to see gynaes. In fact, we quite look forward to chatting with her.

synergy- are u seeing KKH/SGH? Errmm... i realised only restructured hospitals will ask u to take clomid, without V scan. Pte gynaes will always monitor for u.
kermit, i did see a little stain on my undie, only size of a drip of pen ink when never close pen properely!
but when i wipe aft pee. don't see anything liao. Today, shd be DPO7 or 8.
phillis - keeping fingers crossed for u
Is ur BBT still high, if so then likely preggie. Test & tell us ya!!
