It depends on ur Gynae. If ur Gynae gives u number to SMS then u can. My previous Pte Gynae I can SMS the nurse anytime. Once she's free she will get back to me.

I see... I only managed to speak to my gyna's nurse the next day morning after O&G then they ask me to come in the following day. So during the whole ordeal I was really stressed out because I am worried I can't get to my gyna. And weekends are worst cause my gyna don't work.. 
but now it's all over... So I am curious how to get better support if I do get pregnant again..

Previously I was w 1 of the pte gynae at kkh only email given will response only when he got time.
Now my gynae gave his own no which is to me can ask anything more assurance.

Private gynae at KKH - you mean those at the Private suite? Actually I'm not sure how it works - I go to Clinic B every time I see him means he is not private right? I pay private rates though.

As in Pte prescribe gynaes with their own clinics. Also not all drs will give u number. So u need to see a few to make sure u are comfortable. And have like an emergency line to call etc.
Nvr been to kkh don't know the diff between clinic b and Pte suite.

According to prof she is back in town on 25june. Mbe u will c her again aft she is back
dont worry too much. just make sure all the necessary blood tests to monitor ur blood levels are all done regularly and updated to dr sheila. I am sure prof mahesh will let her know if anything is not right. I also started on clexane once my blood hcg confirm I am pregnant and both of them were not around. and I was a known case with clear instructions to start clexane n aspirin asap once confirmed pregnant. so at around 3weeks pregnant I started my injections journey! until wk 34! now I have a boy with me!

Looking fwd to my live bb on hand n be strong for that. For the meantime taking pednisolone while waiting.

I think this depends on the extend of service the clinic/gynae is providing. For mine, we are given a number to sms the nurse only. Its my gynae whom gave me her personal email. So I can ask her any queries that I had, no need to go to clinic to ask her and waste consultation fees.

Hi Vac and hopeful_mum,
I had 2 loses at 5weeks with no sac detected. Doc ask me to go for thrombophilia blood panel test and my protein s level were border line low.
Now I am 9 weeks pregnant, I retook the protein s test again and it was same border line low and started me on baby asprin.
In your cases, will doc ask for another round of protein S level test in the later stage of pregnancy?

Dr didn't ask I also requested for one more blood test. Cox mine is below border line I want to make sure that the clexane are working. It's very impt to monitor. Cox can be a serious condition. Worst case is stroke, still birth. Or miscarriage. So good to monitor closely.

I see, shall request for another blood test further down just for assurance.
Yeah, I read a lot about the complications online.
But my doc only give me baby aspirin and din told me much.

I guess becoz borderline, means blood wont clot bah. and maybe baby aspirin works just fine for you, so don't need to do extra. I just feel monitoring is good. as long as u know its fine, then meds work, don't have to worry so much.
if falls below borderline, at least still can prescribe other meds to help

No. I am with NUH, Dr TM Chua. lady doc.
I been to see a male gynae b4, I feel super awkward! haha
SLE is a test that determine whether u have cells that attack your own cells.
Ya, was quite glad I took all.. the thrombophilia blood screening is super EX! $500!
I think she was trying to find out the cause as I have consequents MC.
I think these tests are quite important, can help eliminate the cause for miscarriages.

Haha I also nuh but subsidy with the recurrent loss unit. Ya all these tests very ex. But worth it to find out.
Dear all sisters, I did my fet on 3 jun. Last Wednesday went for bt, result is 0.1. On Friday, went for another bt and the result is 94.3. Today another bt but hcg is dropping to 33. Doc said this is chemical pregnancy and I should expect af to come in 1-2wks time. May i know whether I'm consider as miscarriage in this case?

Hi Tinga, take care of yourself. I have 2 episode also.. no sac nothing just dropping hcg..I consider it as Mc.
My tcm suggest drinking 生化汤， to clear everything. Can only drink when u have ur af. You can go those Chinese medicial hall and ask the sinseh to pack for u. It's a rather costly Med. Have to brew urself.
Keep urself warm, drink lots of red date, longan drink.
My TCM even recommend me to drink 十全大补汤, weekly to tiao back the body.
First mc, I follow Her instruction then Rest 1 mth, 2nd mth hit jackpot. Then chemical pregnancy again. Then I follow her instructions again and hit jackpot the following mth. Now 9wks.
Eh I not sure If everybody can drink 十全大补汤，better to consult ur TCM.

but it's really early stage like period is late. In my mind I tell myself is not miscarriage. In medical terms they consider. I also see dr Su think her meds do help me in tiao.

I remembered my tcm mentioned chemical pregnancy is consider miscarriage also, so also need to tiao our body back. Western doc tend to think lightly on chemical pregnancy.

Think is drink during af. I also drank ahha I cannot rem. maybe when u buy just ask the zheng zhong long. They shd know. Cox it helps clear the remaining blood
For the ladies that go to TCM, i'll like to check if you really feel the difference after seeing TCM doctor & taking the medicine?
My BFF kept urging me to see TCM after my miscarriage. She said even if its not for ttc again, at least to tiao my health back, as she said its useless to bu if i don't tiao. But i am skeptical of the benefits. Seems like alot of ladies here see TCM, do you find that it really helps with your overall health? For example falling sick less, more energy etc?

I don't believe also. Hahaha until I had 3 miscarriages and 1 chem. then I saw dr su. After taking her meds I can really feel my body warmer. And I think it did helped me.
My friend hubby sperm count increases after seeing tcm. The thing is it's not like western meds. It takes min 3-6mths to take effects.

My tcm asked me to drink when spotting about to end after my miscarriage, as it is meant to clear any debris/clots that remains.

I am not a tcm person before my miscarriage. But after mc, people told me to tiao my body. I feel my hands and feet are warmer now, compared to the past. My hubby sperm count problem was improved through tcm and not western pills.

I m not sure how much tcm helps me in my health. Have been seeing tsb since mid August n did 2 fresh cycle when w her, managed to success. Watever it is my dh did urged me to continued w tcm after bfp this cycle. W tcm medication I didn't take other bu things in case too heaty, will check w her next week when I see her.
Like wat hopeful mum said tcm is long term effective, takes 3-6 mths to see improvement
