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!!!!
