SEEK CHINESE PHYSICAN FOR HELP

28th May 09

Today dear and I woke up early to queue up to seek help from chinese physcian. We went to Singapore Thong Chai medical insitution. Reached there about 8 plus and there were quite long queue. After registration, waited about 20 mins to see the doctor. We consulted Dr Loh Kin Yee. She gave us lots of advice and was very patience towards our enqiuries. She told us she will prescibed 2 doses of medicines for me to consume and need to review her one week later. Its a charity organisation so the fees for the consultation and medications were free. And it is up to the patient to donate whatever amount to the donation box. Will be going back to the dr next week. Will update the info again to my blog......

HSG RESULT

On 14th May 09 -

Dear and i took one day leave to go back to KK to get my HSG result. Saw Dr Tan at 11am and she told us that my left fallopian tube was normal but right fallopian tube may be obstructed. That was partly the reason of why we cant conceive. She suggested a few ideas and it was up to us to decide which to choose.

First suggestion -

To have a operation to unblocked the right fallopian but sucess rate is only 30 to 50 %.
If sucessful, the tube will be fully unblocked. But if unsucessful, the tube will be totally blocked and the situation will be worse than before the operation.

Second suggestion -

Superovulation & Intrauterine Insemination Programme ( SO-IUI )

It is a procedure where two to three ovarian follicles (eggs) are stimulated and brought to maturation and ovulation.
It is usually combined with intrauterine insemination in which the prepared sperms are placed directly into the uterus.
This procedure will enhance conception for the couple.
Sucess rates improves the chances of conception for infertility couples and the average sucess rate is about 12-15 percent per cycle or 26 percent per patient after 3 cycles.
The overall sucess rate varies with the cause of infertility and the age of the female partner. For some conditions, the pregnancy rate can be as high as 36 percent per patient.
Risks and dissapointments was that the cycle may be discontinued because of poor response or over esponse with too many follicles developing. And includes misscarriages and etopic pregnancies.

Third suggestion -

In-Vitro Fertilization ( IVF ) / Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection ( ICSI )

IVF involves putting the eggs and sperms together. By natural selection, the egg will usually allow only one sperm to enter and this usually leads to the fertilization process in the lab. After fertilization, the embryos are allowed to grow for a short period of time before placed into the uterus. A sucessful pregnancy can be confirmed about two weeks later.
ICSI involves injecting a single sperm into each egg to allow fertilitzation to occur in the lab.
Sucess and unsucess are quite similar to SO-IUI.

Fourth suggestion -

To try on our own for another 6 months based on my left fallopian tube which is perfectly normal.

So of cos our decison will be the fourth one. If by end of 09 we still cant conceive, than we will try other methods. Telling myself and dear, we must jia you and relaxed more and enjoyed ourselves in order to be even more healthy.

ALL THE BEST TO OURSELVES !!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!

THE DAY FOR HSG EXAMINATION

On 24th Apr 09 -

The most dreadful day had come. My appt time was 09:30 in the morning. Dear accompanied me to KK hospital. Registered myself at the xray dept and one of the staff nurse asked me to change to the hospital robe while waiting for my turn to do the test. Five minutes later, i was accompanied by two nurses and greeted warmly by Dr Wong Yen Ling Jocelyn whom will be in charge of doing the whole procedure. I was asked to lie on the couch and Dr Wong explained the whole preocdure of what she was going to do to me. My hands was trumbling and i could feel my heartbeat pulmping very quickly. When she started to insert the tube to my womb, i just felt a bit uncomfortable. But once the small amount of contrast medium that administered through the tube to outline the inner surface of the womb 7 fallopian tube, i could feel the pain and it was like someone going to ripe open my womb and tears started to flow down to my cheecks. I screamed very loudly as i couldnt tolerate the pain. The nurses and dr kept comforting and consoled me. This lasted for about half an hour and i could feel numbness on my two thighs. The dr told me i would enocountered stomache cramps n bleeding for the next two days. I was told to dress up and waited for another half an hour in case any side effects happened to me. Dear was with me at the waiting area. As the nurse saw me and mentioned that i was well enough to go back home, i started to feel cramps on my stomache. Worse than menses cramp lo..... :{ Immediately went to the pharmacy to get some painkillers to ease the pain. Went for lunch and back home to rest after that.

RESULTS WERE BACK

19th Mar 09 -

We went back to KK to get our results for the previous tests. Everything was fine for dear. But for me, haiz.... small little fibroid was found on my fallopian tube and it was suspected that it had a thick nodular internal septations but no obvious internal vascularity is seen within. Which means that there is a possibiltity that my right fallopian tube was blocked and it was due to the etopic preg. Dr Tan suggested i must go for another investiagtion which was called the HYSTEROSALPINGOGRAPHY ( HSG ).

What is HSG?

This is a special X-ray examination of the womb. This structure is usually not seen well on plain X-ray examination.

The patient will be required to lie on the xray couch throughout the examinations. After cleaning the vagina with antiseptic solutions, the doctor will insert a fine tube through the vaginal into the womb. A small amt of contrast medium (X-ray dye) will be administered through the tube to outline the inner surface of the womb and the fallopian tube. Some lower abdominal cramp may be experienced at this stage.

The doctor will observe the flow of the contrast medium under TV control and x-rays will be taken to document the procedure.

I had no choice but to go for it as i knew it will be a painful procedure to go through. So i will make another appointment with the radiology dept for the test.

CHECKUP AT KK

5th Feb 09

Dear & I decided to go KK hospital for further checkups since so many months of conceiving without any good news after recovering from etopic ops last year. Consulted Dr Tan Kim Teng, a senior consultant from O&G dept. Told her about our problems and she suggested we went for serveral test. She suggested i need to go for ultrasound pelvis to make sure there wont be any problem occured to my womb which was related to the ops. And dear had to go for semen analysis to make sure he will be fine. So after consulting her, i went straight to the radiology dept for the ultrasound and the nurse had instructed dear that he will had to make appointment for his test on another day.
