KLFGC - Visit No. 2

I and my husband went in for my Day 12 checkup 2 days ago. I had to fast for my blood test. We reached the hospital at 9am. Around 9.15am, Nurse M called me in to draw my blood. One test was for Insulin and Vitamin D test. The other blood test was to check for my miscarriage cause. We were told the results for this test was only to be seen after 1 month. WOW. We asked the nurse why does it take so long. They told us that this blood samples need to be sent to Australia to be tested. That was new for us. Now we know why this test is rather expensive.

We went in to see Dr. Helena around 9.25am. She had my hormone test results with her. She said my results were good. Pheww....that was a relief. The only thing is that by right FSH count should be more than LH count. I had LH count slightly more than FSH count by 0.1 only. That explained my mild PCOS. Dr. said it was nothing to worry and it was good.

Dr. Helena did a vaginal scan to check my follicles. There was a follicle sized 1.4mm. She said I should be ovulating coming weekend. She asked us to try on our own this weekend. If my period comes next month, we will be starting IUI treatment. Dr. advised us to come in on Day 2 of my next period. We were given the copy of our result.

Total expenses :- RM 1430

Fasting Insulin Test      - RM 150
Vitamin D Test            - RM 300
Miscarriage Blood Test  - RM 820
Scanning/Ultrasound     - RM   80
Consultation                - RM  80

p/s - That's quite a sum for tests but we were OK as long as we get treated and we get to know the cause for the miscarriages. Feeling good about the upcoming treatments :). Positive feelings.

My jOuRnEy sO fAr....

I and my husband are ttc for 2 years and 3 months now. I was shocked to hear the question if I was pregnant  just couple of months after our wedding. Since then, we had been hearing that question many times. We wish we would be blessed with a baby soon.

I decided to start blogging after I read many bloggers about their journey for a baby. It was helpful for me to read their blog and I hope that my journey may help some others who are in the same boat. Below are my journey till October 2012.

Sep 2010 - I got married to a wonderful and understanding husband.
Dec  2010 - I got pregnant.

Jan  2011  - Had a miscarriage at 9 weeks. Our baby did not have a heart beat. I had tears automatically when the doctor told me the news. It was a heart breaking news :-(

Jan 2011     - Had a D & C done.

Mar  - Aug 2011 - Tried naturally to conceive but no positive results.

September 2011 - Decided to go for medical help as it was already 1 year of trying. We went to KPJ Damansara for help. The Dr. told me that I have PCOS. So, he gave me Clomid 50 mg to be taken on D2-D5 on the next period.

October 2011 - Got pregnant.

Nov 2011 - Miscarried at 5 weeks :-( . I did not go through a D & C as it was a very early stage and there was only a sac.

Dec 2011 - Mar 2012 - Tried with the help of Clomid but no good news.

April 2012 - Husband had a Sperm Analysis (SA) done. He had a 5 % morphology. During that time, their standard should be more than 30 %.

May 2012 - Went for IUI and had a failed cycle.

Jun 2012 - I had a laproscopy done. There was a cyst on my left side. I was relieved it was removed. My tiubs were OK.

Jul - Aug 2012 - TTC naturally, failed.

Sep 2012 - We tried again with Clomid and it did not work.

Oct 2012 - We had a IUI again and we were not lucky.
