Dear all,
I've been TTC since 2 years ago. Recently, both me and hubby went to do a series of tests at Raffles Hospital and results are very disappointing.
Hubby has got low sperm count, but it's a little bit on the borderline type of case.
With my HSG results, my right fallopian tube is blocked near the entry, about first 1/3 of the tube. Doctor said that it might be due to some infection, and because I've not gone for any surgery before, she cannot really tell the exact problem. For the left side of the fallopian tube, there is a flow, but it did not swell up and overflow at the end whereby it's suppose to, which also meant that it's blocked and nothing can be done to unblock it.
With my blood test results, all seems well, just that my AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone), which shows the ovarian reserve is very high. Normal ovarian reserve is 6.5-19.8, good ovarian reserve is anything above 19.8. Mine is 60.2.
For my case, the doctor recommend me to directly do IVF, skipping IUI in all. She does not recommend to do any surgery to unblock the right side of the fallopian, because even so, it's only 50% of the chance and plus hubby got low sperm count.
I'm thinking if we should go to TCM. I know that TCM can help in increasing sperm count, but am not sure if it can help to solve my issue with 2 blocked fallopian tubes. Or we should go to another doctor at KKH for a second opinion?
I hope to get more advise with the people in this forum. Thanks all!
