When I see my old gynae, shall ask for her opinion. Maybe put me on other drugs/injections or do natural iui.

I'm new to this, thought I'd share my personal experience. I had a mc about 3yrs ago as the sac wasn't growing, we were quite devastated when we heard the news. We did try all these while but nth happens while people around you have been getting preggie. We went to NUS fertility in 2012 or early 2013 hoping they would help us in conceiving, ended up is a total waste of time. Well, to cut short of my long history, we went to see Dr SF Loh last year, and he was really nice to talk with. End up I have to do IUI due to my stubborn body, so I actually did the procedure last week, supposingly to go for blood test to check for pregnancy next week. Am really nervous and worried about the outcome, wonder how I will react to the outcome when the results are out.

Darkrain75, just stay positive and dun worry too much.
Jts: For us who finally got pregnant after trying for years, my advice is work will now take a back seat and the bb take the front seat. Dun risk the bb for work, esp after trying for many years. It is not worth it.
I sold my life to work then and was worried abt wk when I finally got preggy. I was spotting and vomitting. My bff told me:"it will not be worth it to lose the bb bc of wk. Your co will not pay you bk a bb."
What she said was right. My bff is a v family oriented person. She emphasis alot on work life bal. Though not earning like super salary but I think she is a vvvv great mom.
So dear mommies, rem to put bb as no.1 once you have conceived successfully.

Hi your-attoney, thanks. Trying my best to stay positive and at the same time pray to God too. But there are times when you really feel down when colleagues, sis in law is pregnant. And I totally agreed with you to put bb as top priority, the company won't pity you or anything so really is not worth it.

i have already put BB on priority list. and work isnt very stressful now.. but still nothing at the moment..

Be patient. God gives those who perserve. The more anxious, the more tense the body, the harder to conceive.

Same here. I don't have a career just a job hence I feel now is the best time for me to conceive as I really wanna wholeheartedly care for my bb.
I am at my wit's end because really not sure what is preventing me from getting preggy besides my age and weight. Really trying hard to lose some weight during this break. Thou I had MC last year, is it possible for my tubes to be blocked? I read somewhere that even the HSG procedure is painful?

Darkrain, jiayou jiayou! I know how you feel. People around me also getting preggy so easily. However, I must say they are younger than me so I guess there's the advantage.I'm new to this, thought I'd share my personal experience.

Was your IUI natural or stimulated?

HSG is not painful, it's just like pap smear and when your AF is here. U shld go do it at least to get an answer. Actually I think childbirth we also willing to go thru, this kinda pains should be nothing la. Brave on!
I just went to SGH O&G and doc took some blood from me, and ordered for a scan for my follicles while hb needs to do SA.
As I go back, I keep thinking to myself shld I try IUI instead of IVF. My mind has been quite fixed on IVF but Dunno y as I walk out, I keep thinking.
Any comments?

emm i feel IVF is better. higher chance of success and i feel IUI is a waste of time. thats my personal opinion... cos IVF really eliminates chances of bad egg and bad troops.. for IUI we are not sure if the bad egg ovulates, or bad troops meet the egg. and not sure even if they will successfully swim up for the mating.
but then having said that there are successful cases of BFP.. maybe im jus the unlucky one with two rounds of IUI

Actually that's what I feel too, IUI waste of time. But the doc says seems like I am O-ing so unless HB soldiers are no good, else IUI should do the trick....

Hello! Am waiting for next Thurs to do blood test to see the result whether it's successful. Erm....there's a diff between natural or stimulated in IUI? My gynae told me to take puregon for about 3 weeks (different dosage each time), so when finally there's result, he wants me to take 1 injection for ovulation, now is the waiting period to see if your $$ has been thrown into the sea or finally there's something really to be happy about.

I also feel ivf higher chances but then my body allergic to the drugs so guess I don't have a choice there. Darkrain, don't worry too much. Come what may. It's not too late to do fertility treatment now. Jiayou jiayou!

Ok. Will suggest to my gynae to do hsg when I see her in aug.
darkrain75

I think you'd do HSG to see if the tubes are block (just to be sure), i didn't know 1 side of mine was blocked only after I went through. I took some painkiller before I did the HSG, I heard it's painful, kiasu of me...hahahaha. Now after I did my IUI, I don't even noe if what are the signs for successful implants, some people say will feel bloated, not too sure if I feel that way...

baby_Sparkles, never as I have not done IVF before but seems to me that ivf patients also take clomid, gonal-f etc which I think I am allergic to.
The gynae who did my IUI said I am allergic to utrogestan?!

Hi Darkrain, so was HSG painful for you afterall?
I guess every pregnancy differs from person to person. Sometimes really can't read too much into the symptoms. Will drive you nuts!
Hope you relax and let nature take its course.

Hi Oceandeep, actually before I went for my HCG, i pop about 2 painkillers so I really don't feel anything, just some uncomfortable. The painkiller that I took is those slightly stronger dosage, u can only buy from Guardian (pharmacy), can't really remember the name of the pills. But I guess is how the stuff do it. Don't have to worry too much.

I agreed with darkrain75 to do the HSG thingy. I have done mine and discovered one tubes blocked plus with some other obstacles. HSG, to me, was very painful...and ends up with two doctors attending me then. Subsequently, I was bleeding for a few days like menses coming.
If can, take painkiller if you want... to relieve the pain.lemon tart

ladies- just to share: I did my HsG and it was totally painless. just a bit uncomfortable when the tube is put inside u but nothing you can't endure. really like a PAP smear when gynae takes some cell samples. I think it is good to go for it cos it gives u a peace of mind when u get an all clear.

Thanks all for sharing about HSG. I think I have no choice and to do liao. If it's like pap smear then its wonderful cause I really didn't feel anything at all. Nevertheless, I hope my gynae is skilful enough to do a painless one for me.
Chubby, my menses last day tomorrow and gonna start tracking my o liao. However, still not ready to ttc yet. Will wait for next AF to come then all out to ttc. Don't be too sad ya. My gynae said the more we "practise", the better we get. Just have to keep trying if we aren't going for fertility treatment. (well at least for me)

ocean deep78: HSG is not done by your gynae but another doctor. mine was done on CD9. TMC permits HSG only from CD8-10 so must plan carefully the timing. book soon ok?
