IUI did not happened

h.e.l.l.O

 Ultrasound was supposed to be done on cycle day 13 (12.4.2016), somehow when the doc checked, I had only 2 small eggs at 7 and 10mm. Doc was surprised because my lining was thick and she expected a bigger egg, then she saw an area that possibly indicated that I have ovulated earlier than expected **cries bucket**

 So she said she could not proceed with the IUI. This was on Tuesday (12/4/). And so I did my actemra on Thursday (14/4) and now on low dose of steroids (prednisone) for 8 days. Cycle wise, I am on day 21 today. Feeling sooo much better this week from the infusion and steroids. Not a fan of steroids but only people with chronic disease will understand the need to take it to sustain. This is my second time taking it after having had to live with RA for more than 10 years. I was before under a lot of pain, always always tired like I am about to faint. Lack of sleep due to severe pain. Pain around knees, wrist, back-pain, rib cage area when breathing. It was a nightmare and I do not see the point of trying to endure it as it appears that they are not going anywhere...  I dunno how I managed to drag my 2 feet to go to work everyday. Doc convinced me that if I don't get healthy than it will be difficult to get pregnant. While I was thinking that I want to be drug free when trying for a baby but its difficult because we cannot really timed things. We gave a good almost 16 weeks of no medication whatsoever and tried naturally with no luck. We did HSG, then recently clomid in preparation with IUI. Luck was just not on our side... It just has to happen when God intend it to happen. And God does not want us to give up. He gives us challenge after challenge because He loves us and wants us to always remember and praise Him, for He is the almighty. 

 Is there possibility of getting pregnant this month? Tough question. We only tried like a couple of time after my period. And because I was not feeling well, it is just hard to get into the mood.

 I hope that hubby and I will continue to be strong. That we don't give up hope. Busy body aunties and uncles.. You have no idea what we go through in our lives, so shuhh shuhh

IVF Kasih (Mini IVF) Part 1

Here is the story of our first attempt of mini IVF at IVF Kasih. What is mini IVF? Mini IVF is a less invasive, less hassle and a minimal stimulation method some couple opt for to reduce the stress of going through the full ivf. And in terms of the price it cost half the actual price. I won't go into the details too much as you can easily google :) With IVF Kasih in Seksyen 13, Shah Alam it cost us RM 8,800. Any test that they require you to do before the ivf cycle begins such as hormone test, HIV test and the medication needed if you successfully become pregnant will not be part of the package. All in all the cost for us was probably about RM 8,800 + additional RM 1,500.  We begin with scanning on CD2, at this point, I had developed a cysts of my right ovaries. None whatsoever before. Yes, these things happened. Sabar. Then it appears that there were no follicles on my left side. Hence, the doc said, if that is the case, there is a risk that if you start the mini ivf this c...

IVF Kasih (Mini IVF) Part 2

 As we arrived in Ipoh, we met the embryologist who told us that all 3 eggs were able to be fertilized. 2 eggs continue to steadily grow while the 3 rd did not. The 2 little fertilized eggs were in good condition and ready to be transferred. I remember the embryologist explained about the grade and the development of the eggs, I just could not recall the exact word she said. I think she said one was in an excellent condition while the other was fairly good. At that point I was just happy to hear that we have 2 embryos and the transfer can be done that day.   Long story short, the transfer was done. It was quick and painless but it was nerve wrecking to be in that position. The room was so cold because of the strong air condition. Dr Tham made me feel more relax. He even turned on the zikir and doa from youtube for me during the procedure. It reaaaallly made me feel more calm throughout the whole process. Hubsy was not allowed to go in to accompany me. Then I had to lay d...

A little update

A little update. After failing to conceive twice through IUI, we have decided to proceed with IVF at IVF Kasih. We did our check ups just before Ramadhan and the Doctor said when we are ready we can give the clinic a call come cycle day 1. I am planning to document and share it in the blog as we take this new journey together. We always hope for the best but its all up to the Almighty if this will be a success. I do hope that it will be a smooth one. IVF Kasih offers a suppose to be less invasive, low stimulation form of IVF where they say it will be more natural, less visit to the hospital (=less stress), less amount of medication to be consumed and mostly because the cost is way cheaper than regular IVF aka mini IVF. I did the research, cheaper does not mean that it won't work. Although it seems to have lower probability to succeed, 40% vs 30% for women age 35 below, it is still a good number. If money is not an issue, I probably would still go for mini IVF and see how it goe...
