To have your questions answered, go for a proper checkup. Firstly, were u on any pills or contraceptives before u started trying? They tend to hamper with your chances even if you're off it for months. It takes av of 1 year for the effects of the contraceptive to wear off. Just to share my bad experiences with u, we too were TTC when we were just married but didn't conceive after a year. I was going for regular checkups with KK then. They made me go for D&C op to remove polyps; They diagnosed me with "possible breast cancer" when I had lumps cuz the biopsy results found "abnormal cells" and wanted to do a bilateral mastectomy cuz too many on both sides; they diagnosed me with possible uterus cancer cuz the ultrasound scan showed my uterus lining was more than double the normal thickness (which caused the heavy periods I've been complaining); KK also diagnosed me infertile and wanted me to do IVF with them. They claimed that's my only chance of conceiving, given the numerous problems I had. Of course, I was extremely disturbed by the whole series of events. Imagine being told u have "breast cancer", "uterus cancer" and "infertile" one after another. Luckily, I decided not to listen to them & went to Susan Lim for my lumps. Turned out the cell samples KK took from me (without anesthesia cuz Dr forgot? Imagine the pain I had to endure with a thick hollow needle poking in and out of both breasts for MINUTES) was contaminated. All I had were normal benign lumps that doesn't warrant what KK recommended. Thanks to Susan Lim's superior skills, I was able to breast feed all my 3 children; next, when I told Susan Lim abt my "infertility" and how KK wanted me to do IVF, she referred me to Prof Ng Soon Chye. After a brief checkup, Prof Ng felt there was nothing wrong with me but sent me to NUH to do a detailed test nevertheless to confirm. Turned out I am really normal and was ovulating and doesn't need IVF at all. That same night we TTC again and conceived my first baby. Now, 8 years later, I am currently 6.5m pregnant with my 4th child and thanks to Susan Lim, I will continue to breast feed my fourth baby until he's 1.5 yes
Old, just like my other 3 kids. Currently, I'm with Dr Douglas Ong as his clinic is much nearer my home. I am still grateful to Prof Ng but we decided to change gynaes cuz gleneagles is not convenient for us and he doesn't deliver elsewhere.
Hope sharing with u my loooong story has helped you in some way.
