hello all
yes, GLA is Evening primrose oil, it has made a lot of improvement on my skin, it is glowing now, does not help with regulating my cycle though. but i got more cervical mucus lah, i think i got preggy naturally the other time coz i took the GLA,initially i took clomid, didnt work, so i stopped and took GLAs and i conceived naturally, what a miracle!

no preggy woman cannot take GLA coz it has prostaglandins which makes the uterus contracts, that was what the net says. anyway, after giving birth u can take, and u will see results after 3 2-3 weeks of continuous use. And the brand is Shaklee GLA, take once a day only. U can get it at Guardian or Unity Healthcare. pse ask for 15% discount or else they wont give! it is $52 bucks, real X compared to the other kind of GLAs coz it has borage & sunflower oil and vit E, so give it a try for those NON-pregnant woman pse!

Hello all,
I've been with the miscarriage support group these few mths. I had m/c last Oct - was abt 6 wks then. It was my 2nd pregnancy - I hv a 2 yr old gal. Few yrs ago, I saw a chinese physician at Jurong East, she ever told me that I hv PCOS and I've to do P4 & HCG test as soon as I conceive. But since my 1st pregnancy was smooth sailing, I didn't pay match attention to the PCOS symptoms & also I was ignorant then. I didn't realise that PCOS will increase the chances of m/c till now.
I still get a little depressed on & off, but today suddenly in the midst of reading some magazines, this PCOS thing strike me again. I would like to find out if anyone here has a good gynae to recommend who has experience in high-risk pregnancy? And also would monitor patients closely especially pple like me with PCOS? I intend to gather some gynae's information 1st, hoping that in future if I would conceive again, I'll hv a few good gynaes on hand, then can decide whom I want to use.

Hi ladies,
I'm a fellow PCOSer. Currently I'm seeing a gynae and have been on 3 courses of clomid. Today is the start of my 4th course.
I'll not be able to monitor if I have follicles as I'm going on holiday for 2 weeks. I think I can only tell when I ovulate (if I do ovulate at all)
My friend recommended me a gynae, says 2 friends who have PCOS went to him for treatment and now they're due!
If after this course of clomid still no news, I think I'll go and try this recommended gynae.
Anyone heard of Dr Charles Lim from Mt E.?

I go to Charles Lim, his fees q reasonable. But his clinic is usually v crowded so you'll have to wait a long time, even with an appointment. Also, because he's so busy, he doesn't take much time to explain things to you.
But if you don't mind his bedside manner, he's well-informed of PCOS and infertility.
Under his guidance, I conceived twice.

hi, Wishbear,
even if you hv the 1st appointment, i find that you still need to go early & queue at the door, 'cos they go by first-come-first-serve. So i'm usually waiting at the door by 8.15am (clinic opens at 8.30am)
actually, it makes good sense to be 1st patient for 1st appointment, 'cos he usually orders blood tests etc. which will take up the rest of the morning.
Hope this helps.

That leaves the other doc..who is an indian..but based on his medical profile..he is not a Prof.. confused by your clues..care to give me a clearer clue.?? is he Prof Chris Chen?? hope you can clear my doubts. Thks

Just to share my own experience
I was diagnosed with PCOS after my 1st miscarrriage. my gynae put me on HRT + clomid. my cycle regulated after a few cycles but menses flow was scant. So i went to see chinese physician at Thong Chai (Infertility Unit)
http://www.thongchaimedical.org/infertility.htm, the cycle remained regular and the flow improved. Now, I'm pregnant and just passed my 1st trimester. After i found out about the pregnancy, i continued seeing the physician and at the same time, received care from gynae (they said it's ok to see both concurrently).
After what i've gone through, I would prefer to see chinese physician over the PCOS becos I feel that the healing is more complete. That's just my personal view.
