Angel81 1 Report post Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) So anyone with good news lately? Or any updates about pregs/feedback about hospitals? Seems like TMC is really good. I have a fren who recently gave birth there, and she said that the service is good. And just to digress, she laboured for 19hours! *shudders* Edited May 18, 2009 by Angel81 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fox in snow 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) I would like to share my story here... my husband and i got married in 2006, and only last year we decided to start trying for a baby in May. Before we did that, I went to do my hair (rebonding) and took a simple blood test to check I have immunity against certain diseases such as Hep B and German Measles. The results came back ok, so we started trying. Month after month, we had failure. I know the feeling. Everytime I saw red, I felt like crying. Hubby was very supportive, and because of my character, I have a tendency to blame myself. I thought since my parents had difficulty conceiving, I carry their gene. In August, my period came late by 2 days, then I started spotting before the period came. I was so sad. It doesn't help too when I hear friends who were successful in just one try. Then I started using OPK, and realised I ovulate a bit later than the 14 days. So I have wasted 3 months time!! A couple more unsuccessful tries, I started doing BBT as well. In december I decided to see a gynae. I didn't know it could be so difficult at our age. (we were both only 26-27). We finally got to see the gynae in Jan. He used ultrasound to check my reprod. system. Everything seemed to be fine. I told the doctor what we had been doing, with my BBT and OPK tests (OPK is horrendously expensive). He suggested that I stopped doing it and we were probably getting too stressed and obsessed (more me than my hubby). He told us to take it easy and to just BD on alternate days from days 11-19 (before that we would try everyday during the fertile period, sometimes more than once ) He also prescibed me clomid and sent my hubby for some checks. When my hubby's results, we were devastated. His sperm count was low. His self esteem was affected/ I tried to be supportive of him, but again my stupid reasoning set in. I told him it's also my fault, cuz if I was the super-fertile kind, I could still get pregnant. On a whim, hubby told me we should take a holiday soon. One day in feb, he suggested we go to australia in March. So we planned a holiday, based on my potential ovulation dates. When we were going to do the booking, my period came. 5 -7 days early. I was totally upset. 1) because my regularity in my period was getting screwed up since I took clomid (from 32 days one cycle to 23 the next). 2) I was likely to be ovulating when we are on the plane!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still, he said to go ahead with the holiday. 3 days before our holiday, I went to the gynae to a checkup. I told him no news yet still after one cycle of clomid. He told me to try the second one, and if not, we can consider to let a specialist see my hubby. We still tried in the days leading to the holiday, then when we landed, we were so tired we had no mood for love for the next 2 days, then we tried again. For the rest of our holiday in Melbourne, we let loose and enjoyed ourselves. Enjoyed the city architecture and the great nature that Victoria has to offer. That month I missed my period. Hubby agreed to let me test... some one week after the period was supposed to be due. I did the test on the morning of our wedding anniversary.... and it was positive. It seems like a story I am telling, but it's a true story. I am now 12 weeks pregnant, and looking forward to our lives together with our precious possibly made in australia baby I hope our story can encourage others out there who have not been that 100% lucky like some of the first try hit target friends of ours. It seems true, when you least expect it you will get it. Sometimes yuo plan and you plan, and your plans don't go smoothly. It also shows how horrible Singapore is a place to be living in. Apparently the stresses of travelling cannot beat that of living in Singapore. Arghs. Edited May 20, 2009 by fox in snow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chronograph 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2009 See stress is the culprit in conceiving. I'm not trying to stress potential parents to be further but getting pregnant is just the beginning. U will be more stress up, tense up, anything u name it till the day baby arrived in this world. I had experience it myself when my wife first pregnancy had complication. She had to visit hospital for test twice every week from 20th week onwards to birth. I was in overseas for 3 month biz assignment when i got the news that something not right which potentially will lead to termination. I panic and got to seek my management approval to cut short the trip and return asap to give support to my wife. That's the day when the nightmare started, praying and hoping that baby will survive and develop normally. 17 weeks of living in worry/fear and keeping my finger cross till gynea said to c-sec and took baby out at 37th week. That's not the end of the story, my elder daughter went thru scan and therapy from birth to 1 year old. I'm praying that everything will go well for this 3rd one, wife's at her 20th week.
