KL Fertility & Gynaecology Centre - Visit No. 1

After 2 years plus of trying and 1 year of treatment, we decided to look for another hospital for help. I started to do my research through the internet. After many many blog readings, we decided to go for Dr. Prashant Nadkarni of KL Fertility & Gynaecology Centre (KLFGC).

I was excited to start the new treatment with Dr.Prashant as there were many positive comments in the blogs. I was waiting for my period to come and it arrived on 8 Dec 2012. I called the hospital for an appointment. I was disappointed as the nurse told me that Dr. Prashant will not be in till 14 Dec 2012. That would be too late for me as I would miss the Day 2-4. So I only had 2 options. Either I miss this month or I go for Dr. Helena Lim Yun Hsuen. I decided to go for Dr. Helena as I do not want to delay any longer. I was asked to come in on 10 Dec 2012 at 2.30 pm.

On Monday, I and my husband reached the hospital at 1.20 pm. Oh ya, I forgot to mention that we need 1 hour 30 min  to 2 hours to reach the hospital(depending on the traffic) as we are from Pahang. So, we decided to have our lunch and then we went to the hospital. I was asked to fill up a form. There were many couple in the hospital of all races and cultures.

We were called in around 2.55 pm by Nurse M. Dr. Helena greeted us at the door. Never had a Dr. do that before. That was a good start. She  was very warm and cheerful. She did apologize for the wait as Dr. Prashant was not around and she had to take care of his patients too. Nurse M was in the room as well throughout the consultation.

I then told Dr. Helena my medical history. I did give her my laproscopy result and my husband's SA. She said my cyst was a normal one and my husband's analysis is good. The standard for morphology recently changed and anything above 4% morphology is good (My husband's was 5%). That was a good news. Since it was my Day 3 of period, Dr. Helena did a vaginal scan. She immediately knew that I was a mild PCOS patient. I had 8 follicles on one side and 12 follicles on the other. Dr advised me to continue my Folic Acid and to add Wyeth Centrum Multivitamin and fish oil capsules to strengthen my uterus.

Lastly she asked me to do a blood test the same day to check my hormone levels. Besides that, since I had 2 miscarriages, I was asked to do another blood test the next visit and also Vitamin D and insulin test. For the next blood test, I was asked to come in fasting. The next appointment for us was on 19/12/2012 which is Day 12.

p.s - On the way back we did get the multivitamin and also the fish oil capsules. We decided to continue the treatment with Dr. Helena as she understood us well, was very clear in her explanation and most importantly we felt comfortable with her.
