oh well, im just so sick and tired of having to do TCM and IVF alternatives all these years .. yes i do wish for another child especially since i appreciate my own parents for having 3 of us kids. my poor kyros is so lonely ..
through the encouragement of a good friend, i decided to embark on my journey for a second child ~
i called 3 weeks ago and was given an appointment for today with the infamous sf loh .. my appointment was at 3:40pm, clinic D. I reached 10mins ahead and did my registration, and it so happen that the admininistrator attending to me was the nurse for a gynae i used to visit in kkh . she said i looked familiar.. but i doubt haha cos its been like more than 10yrs since i last saw yvonne soong??
anyway, with that previous experience with soong, I knew the wait is going to be real long .. i hadnt had time for lunch so right after registration and having my weight/blood pressure taken, vince and i went for lunch. we returned only around 6pm and waited for about 30mins (or 2 patients) before i got to see sf loh ..
i printed my cycle (2008-2011), wrote down the list of supplements im currently taking, and a brief medical history of what i went through while trying to conceive in 2003 .. it was nice of dr soon to provide me with the details of drugs and dosage.. (though sf loh wasnt impressed with my choice of gynae) .. lol ..
he had intended for me to try conceiving with metformin and clomid .. and thus was surprised all i wanted was to start IVF procedure asap.. lol .. he said im in his generation but thinks like someone of the younger generation cos i want it now, fast, asap. aiyo can he blame me? i'm turning a year older in another 3 days!!
but i decided to humor him nonetheless and agreed to take one mth clomid after simulating menses in May .. and of cos lots of sex .. (vince must be happy to hear that from sf loh) .. but i got him booked for june! its so unbelievable! I'm actually going for IVF! im still very much in a daze .. and i need some time to come to terms with it ~
anyway tmr will be the beginning of my journey ..
folic acid 5mg - once a day
DYDROgesterone 10mg - 1 tab twice a day --> this is supposed to bring on the next cycle
clomiphene 500mg - 2 tabs a day --> day 2 to day 6
and im due for blood test on day 2 or 3 at the clinic
and im to expect a call from the ivf centre whereby an appt will be fixed for me to visit for an ivf briefing
thank god ive got my tubes checked previously at TMC .. so i don hv to go thr that embarassing procedure again .. and did i forget to mention expensive?
