Wow, I am glad I survived my last 3 days. I almost had a 'heart attack' on a shocking news but this blog is purely on my IVF journey. Enough to say, what I learnt is that not to worry about anything until it is proven to be a real problem. I almost forgot that I am trying to conceive! So we missed my subur period for this month hehe
I am now sorted and looking forward to Ramadhan and my trip overseas. So excited! My mom always tell me that your fate can be changed with doa. Ramadhan is my opportunity, so I am very very excited. We are also planning to go for Umrah next year insyaAllah. I haven't been there in years. My parents used to take me there when I was younger. My last visit was 10 years ago! Hubby has not been to Makkah, so maybe we should start saving and aim for Haj instead of Umrah? Hmmmm.....
If IVF does not work, I am going to use our next rezeki for Haj and I have started thinking about adoption. My friend from Middle East did mention about orphan babies who need adopted parents. I am so excited! I want one, I want to love one but I need a baby because I want to breast feed the child and make him/her mine. I am not giving up, really I am not. Hubby and I are still excited about IVF. Even if IVF is successful, insyaAllah I still want to adopt one. I have started googling about adoption process etc. Looking forward to the plan already!!!
My advice, at whatever stage you are in trying to conceive...stay strong! :) miracles do happen with doa!

My Polyps
I gave up on my Ipad and now using my Husband's lappy ;) The polyps which i mentioned is the bump in the photo, in between the two '+' signs. Normal women have a straight line in their uterus. Unfortunately for me, I am not normal.
Off to lunch with Mom and Hubby soon. Ttyl!
Second Assessment
I have Polyps.
Today marked the 13th day of my cycle. The scan shows a polyp of 8.1mm which needs to be removed. I am shocked, beyond words. I remained calm for hubby but deep in my heart...really God? Another test? Hmmmmm....I will be posting the pic of my polyps soon. I am still trying to figure out how to do so using iPad!
According to Dr Prashant, we need to remove the polyp in order to increase the chance of the success rate of our IVF procedure. If you want to know a short summary about polyp, I found the article below very useful :)

I have booked for the Hysteroscopy to be done in September, hopefully a week before IVF. Why so close to IVF? Per Dr Prashant, the polyp could relapse. So best to wait until near the time before IVF.
For myself, I will be taking a break from TTC. Hubby and I are going traveling for a month. We need to get away from all these :) insyaAllah we will take full advantage of the coming Ramadhan. By the way, my summary for july :
1) I have polyps
2) My sister miscarriaged her twins
3) My other sister has cyst
Hoping it will be a better month next week, Amin!
Btw the cost for today is RM160

First Assessment
My cycle this month is 41 days! Around day 38, I actually thought of the possibility that I might be pregnant. How I wished that was true! But deep in my heart, I know that the possibility is remote. So come day 41, I bravely called Nurse H to schedule my appointment with Dr Prashant. Appointment set on 08072011 :)
The clinic is packed today. I walked in and started feeling uneasy. I have never done a scan during my period! I soooo hope it wouldn't get messy. We waited about 20 minutes before the Nurse called my name. Yeay, my turn!
Dr Prashant discussed with us about the procedure for today for about 5 minutes and then instructed me to go to the scanning room. To my relief, I only have one dot today....so it was not too messy ;) the scan was beautiful according to him! I have 8 eggs on one side and 7 eggs on the other side. The eggs looks amazing in my eyes. I couldn't forget the way the eggs move....I might sound like a crazy woman now but I was beyond relief when I heard that I have soo many eggs! The next step...blood test!
I hate needles, blood! Urghhhh! I was so scared and felt like throwing out but hubby was there throughout the whole process. So it was not so bad....we did the blood test at level 3A. I will be back to see Dr Prashant on the 18th of this month. I look forward to my next visit! I can't wait to get the process started...let's hope and pray my blood test shows a good result and that I am a good candidate for IVF :)
And Dr prescribed me with Tamoxifen to be taken for 5 days. The pills are supposed to help me with my ovulation. Since my cycle is unpredictable, seems like a wise decision.
Total cost for our visit today is RM530.
