friday yay day!

 still TTC-ing. i am on day 10 of my cycle. TTC the natural way. i am feeling way better after my infusion (Actemra) 2 weeks ago. sometimes when it feels like you have been trying for a baby like forever, you begin to think what can possibly be different this time around. every month trying with no luck, how can this month be any different than the last? then u will try your very best to remain calm and positive..pick up the little pieces of the lost hope.. 

 Ramadhan is coming.. so no plans for IUI just yet. i am looking at early August. I mean we can do it in July but looking at the cycle period it will be exactly during raya which will be ehh impossible. Between the rendang, lemang and what not, there is no way we will be able to squeeze in IUI in between. I really hope miraculously i will be pregnant by then and that we don't have to go through all of this.. but one can only hope. I hope God will make it happen soon for the both of us..not just us but for the whole family.

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...
