Confused!!

I went to get medication from KKH for my hubby's jabs. I was told that i would need to see Dr Loh, So I did. When I spoke to him, he seemed a little peeved that I cousulted another doctor, and when i actually told him Dr Thong suggested antoganistic cycle, he said " try if you want, but the chances of success is lower" I got a shock, i was never told that. Once again, he reaffirmed that my ovarian reserve is not good. But he said my blood test all came back normal. He is unable to explain why . Goodness. Oh Dr Loh told me to see Dr Shelia Loh at raffles instead ( they are not related FYI). I decided to consult her.
I went home and hubby told me not to be swayed by what one doctor says... but to me, he is suppose to be the best one in SG right? So how not to be swayed? I thought a couple of days about it, and decided to cancel my appointment with Dr Shelia Loh. I will be going with Dr Joan Thong. No more choosing. My mind is made up but it will be in june of course. :) WISH ME LUCK :)

new doctor new hope

I went to see Dr Thong from raffles hospital for a 2nd opinion of my ivf failure. She was really positive about my situation. She encouraged me to rest and start in may/june. But because we will be going on a family trip to NZ in june, we decided on june/july time frame. Dr Thong decided to let me go on a antognistic cycle, a shorter cycle, for ladies that respond poorly to puregon( will ask her more on that and blog about it the next time). She has also requested that hubby do his injections all the way till Egg reterival day so that we will get the best sperms. I am looking forward to journey with Dr Thong. She is a confident lady , whom I have seen success stories from. I feel really comfortable with her and hubby was willing to let me choose my doctor . Wish me luck! :)

I think because of the failed ivf in jan, my cycle was late by 2 weeks, basically, i was 2 weeks late from my last cycle and no I am not pregnant...

it was a BFN and i felt horrible

Well, i did go for the blood test and expected, it was a negative, yup i took a really long time to update this blog, cause well, i did not really want to talk about it and harp on the failure. It turns out that apparently, my eggs were not good too. After the BFN on wednesday, i saw Dr Loh of KKH on saturday. I did not know why, but i felt so lost and so depressed sitting at The private suite, like I dread going there. When i went in, i spoke to Dr loh, seems to me he has been really busy with all the new ivf patients. He seems to be in a hurry, but I don't blame him. But what he said next came as a shock," he told me, i think your eggs are not as good as well, and there are too few, I had 6 eggs. For someone my age, this is considered really little". I was silent for abit, did not know how to react, but in the end, just asked him if he would give me a higher dosage of puregon for the next cycle. He agreeded.

He told me as well, that hubby did not need more jabs, but i feel otherwise and told him i felt fresh will be better. He gave me the prescription for the medication and told me not to wait too long for the next IVF, he said start in march /april. I was not mentally prepared for that, intending to rest till june at least. Stilling in the pharmacy waiting to collect the medication, i felt so tired, tired that we have to do more injections, chinese medication and supplements. I never felt so tired. When i got home, i just broke down, I was so disappointed with myself with the results. I felt horrible.
