Friday
took the day off, went to LA for scan, still no visible follicles - to return next tues for another scan.
it doesn't look good.
decided to look up Dr FY clinic. made an appt to see him on Tuesday after LA. If LA offers good news, then i can skip FY, if not, then i need a second opinion.

CD 8 and well life goes on
saw LA yesterday, did a scan, classic PCO ring of cysts around ovaries but none of them mature big enough to be distinguishable.
got to go back on Fri to re scan, hopefully by then got some visible follicles.
Talked abt metformin and ovarian drilling.
metformin is a medication used to treat insulin resistance. supposedly can also used in PCO cases to correct hormonal inbalance as well as weight control. side effects includes nausea n stomach upset.
Ovarian drilling is done via Laparoscopy, where a portion of the ovary is burn away by laser to adjust hormonal imbalance. side effects include ovarian failure.
advice from LA regarding IUI, skill of doc involved will affect chances of success.

sleepless nights
been having sleepless nights, full of dreams. ever since realisedt that both e and l are on clomid, and conceived, yet lost both their babies in 1st trimester is scary to say the least.
pple say that miscarriage happen because it's not meant to be or because of some genetic fault which makes the foetus unvaible to life.
sometimes i can't help but think perhaps it's because in our search for a baby, we are forcing nature by medical intervention.
perhaps we really shouldn't force things, and then suffer unneccesarily the pains of a threatened pregnancy and ultimately a miscarriage.

CD donkey days
saw the gynae tonight, reached his clinic at 8.50pm and didnt get to see him till almost 10pm for a short 5 min visit.
conclusion: got medicine to induce AF - the same one as before - 2 tab a day for 10 days. and then start cycle 2 of clomid - same as before - from CD2- CD6.
this cycle however will do ovulation monitering (a great improvement) - from CD7 - which means that got to fix appt to see gynae from CD7 to CD14 every other day?? for scans.
if everything goes to plan, means that ovulation will occur at CD14 which will be like 29 days from now.
10 + 5 + 6 (cd1 + cd2-6) + 8 (cd14) = 29 days. which is on 3 Aug + 14 days = 17 Aug will know if this cycle works or not.
total cost $12.50 for med. gynae didnt charge for consult. :)
