starting soon

I went to see Dr Joan Thong Pao-Wen yesterday to do my day 2 blood test and hormonal test. The weird thing was, Dr Thong makes all her patients lie down for 30 minutes before doing the hormonal test. I have no idea why. Well I did that, and saw her in the afternoon again at about 3 pm. Day 2 means I was having my menses and was shocked when she told me that she wanted to do a vaginal scan... I was thinking erm wouldn't that be extremely messy ?? As usual, Dr Thong is a very confident and nice doctor. While I was squirming in my seat, she reassured me saying she has done this a lot of times and she is used to it. Anyway, this is done for her to determine how strong a dosage she needs to give me for my IVF cycle. She saw 11 follicles and was pleased by what she saw. I was surprised and happy too. She told me, she felt really good about my success rate and she told me, that she always wishes all her patients best of luck before starting and said " good luck" to me. That made me feel happy that I made the absolute right choice in choosing her. She started me on Gynera till 14 of june, for my NZ trip and after a couple of days when my menses comes, I will offically start my 10 to 11 days of injections. For those of you interested , my cycle is called a cetrotide cycle. I am really positive about this cycle, it surprises me that after failing one round, I still can be this positive .. :)
Wish Me Luck!

Too cooling but blood too hot!

I went to bangkok last tuesday, to get some stuff for my online store as well as bring my mother in law home. She has some thai relatives there. It happens that my grand uncle in law had his chinese physican friend over. So since I was there, I decided to let him take a look at me. What he told me was rather shocking. He said I am very "liang" too cooling, but my blood is very warm. This can be seen from a red palm and often feeling warm.
Normally for me, when I touch someone else, I am always the warmer one. So he told me to take some meds that my grand uncle happens to be taking. Right away, my grand uncle took 3 bottles out and told me to start taking them. He said they were suitable for my hubby as well. So I have been taking them 3 pills each in the morning and at night. They do work though. Now, I tend to be the same temperature or cooler then others I touch. Ohh the days to ivf is coming closer and closer. Excited yet worried. Mix feelings..
