Hi all,
Happy CNY.
Beary,
If you delay your surgery must you delay your time to ttc too.

Hi hopeformiracle
My review yesterday has good and bad news. Good news - my ovaries are now back to normal. Bad news 1 - AF cycle irregular- no good, now I am like at menopause period which according to my gynae is not normal as my last jab is in Oct 05. Bad news 2 - my uterus has grown again which means my adenomyosis has spread and grown. Bad news 3 - postponed surgery to regulate cycle but the surgery option given to me earlier may not help me now cos of my growing uterus so its back to square one - TH.
So delay surgery is also delaying TTC and if during the delay should my uterus grown again, then my hope for TTC is really gone.. Anyway, I am very positive about the whole news as I have prepared myself over the CNY holidays for it cos I know I will get bad news because I have been spotting for the whole of Janaury which is abnormal to me as I never have this symptons before..

Hi Beary
Sorie to hear abt this... it's important to have a healthy body for TTC too... so take care of yrself and make sure everything is fine before you start TTC... I'm sure u also want a healthy baby, rite? No point rushing.... take yr time to take care of yrself...
Btw, Gals, juz wondering for those who has endometrosis, is it advisable to take EPO, dang gui & Bai Feng Wan? I have been hearing differing ideas... so also dunno wat's true... Any advice?

Hello all,
Im back from my surgery. Given two weeks MC but i don't think i want to rest for so long..should be back at work next week.
Hi 30s,
The ops was smooth i think..there was two cuts. One on the belly button and another 3inches below. It was quite uncomfortable and moving ard was not easy. they didn't shave my hair, maybe b'cos i trim it myself...hehe..
Strange, Dr Loh didn't talk me to me after the ops. He will only see me two weeks after. I wonder what they have done during the surgery and what they have found out. To be honest, i am rather worried
wonder what they have found out
hopefully is nothing serious.

AAbaby, now is the time to rest and recuperate, don't worry too much first. Wait to see doc or give him a call if that can set your heart at ease. Take care.

Hi AAbaby,
It's better to have a good rest after surgery. Becos the cut is small, so it may seem like a minor one, but it's important to have a good rest.
Do try to keep your wound dry to prevent infection. Did your doc teach you how to clean your wound? Last time, I clean my wounds and change the dressing daily starting from 3 days after the surgery for two weeks till the wound heal properly.
Hi hopeformiracle,
Baby dust to you
Good luck
.
Wish you "meng xiang chen zhen"
Hi beary,
Dun give up hope on getting better
If you believe in TCM, go for it. Try not to take the painkillers. They are not very good for the liver. I read that inefficient or weak liver is the main cause of the lumps growing in women.
Hi yuki,
I had fibroids and endo. My gynae specifically told me to avoid dang gui, bai feng wan, and EPO. I took EPO for 2 months and then I had sudden growth of fibroids! Never will I take EPO again nor listen to the sales people. Becareful of what you are taking...
Hi Riushiki,
All the best
Take good care... Sometimes it's really difficult to resist the cravings of junk food... hahaha.. cos I am experiencing that too... But really gotta try to resist for the health of baby

Hi AAbaby,
It's better to rest for 2 weeks. For me, I had complete bed rest for 3 days, then I am up chatting with my friends on my laptop on my bed... I started going out after two weeks...
Try to keep your wounds dry
I used antiseptic solution to clean with cotton wool. Then apply antiseptic cream over the wound and cover with waterproof dressing...

Hi AAbaby,
Ya since Dr gave u 2 wks MC...at least rest well for 1st wk. For my case, I felt drowsy for 1st few days after lap & spent most of my time sleeping during the 1st few days. Avoid carry heavy things too.
You can email to your doctor? Or call him and check what's the outcome.

Hi AAbaby
I was given 1 mth's MC to rest... think it's important to hv ample rest after a surgery... even though it's a minor surgery...
My Gynae didn't see me after the surgery too... our appointment was 1 week after my surgery to remove the dressing... She didn't teach me how to change dressing too... coz she say actually not necessary to put dressing... juz make sure that wound is kept dry... but for mi, I develop itch... maybe because I'm too greedy... went to eat prawns... so the itch developed 3 weeks after my surgery...
Avoid carry heavy things also very important... I was sleeping most of the time for the first few days too... coz feeling very dizzy... and my blood pressure was very low...
During the next appointment, my gynae explained to me wat was removed and wat has been done during the op... and wat to expect after that also... so shld be happy, in the meantime now, juz rest well... and dun think too much...

Hi Lynn,
Thank you very much for your well wishes.

Hi 30s,
No Dr Loh didn't see me and the nurse said that he would only want to see me after 2 weeks. The stitches will dissolve on its own so i do not need to go back to remove it.
Hi lyn, gwer & yuki,
i didn't go back to work on Mon, now i'm still resting at home cos my GP also discourage me from going back to office... i am also afraid that i may strain myself if i were to head back to office esp my work environment is so hectic.

Hi blurblur...
The scientific name for cryptomonodales is called Chlorella Sorokiana. The cells structures is very different from chlorella and spirulina. Chlorella has a function for the body, and spirulina another function, but cryptomonodales has both the functions of spirulina and chlorella.
Which brand of "cryptomonadales" are you looking at? You can PM me if you want...

Hi ladies,
I am also suffering from endometriosis. Juz want to share my story as an encouragement for those of you TTCing.
We started TTC last March and achieved no results. So we decide to see a doctor last september. Hubby went for SA and found to have low count and poor morphology. We were very sad and not too sure what to do. My Prolactin (a type of hormone) is too high, hence started on some very nasty pills which caused me to vomit and I even fainted on the first day i took the pill.
1 mth later, I went for HSG and found that one of my tubes were blocked. Was quite devastated upon hearing that. I immediately decide to go for laproscopy straight away. During the op, my doc found that i have mild to moderate endo. He removed as much as he could and the op was a success. My tube was cleared!
I waited anxiously for the next menses. When it came, for the first time, I was so happy! It means I can start TTC again. I read from the forum that many people actually conceived right after lapro. I thought maybe it would happen to me too. Then 1 month passed, 2 months passed. No news. I thought to myself, maybe it's fate. Everytime i see a pregnant women, I would somehow feel sad for myself.
Then, exactly on the 4th month after lapro, I missed my menses... my temp stayed 36.80 and above. That night, I jumped from the toilet seat when I tested positive!!! We are very thankful that we have finally made it. I am now 6 weeks pregnant.
Ladies, hope my story can give you some encouragement... Just want to say that we endo sufferers must stay strong and be brave for the op. I wish you all the very best in your TTC(if your are TTCing). If you had been through the op already, here's a pat on your back! "Pat, Pat" You have been very brave and you have made the right choice to go through it, even though it was tough.
