Beginning of IVF

Few weeks ago, my gynae told my hubby and I that based on our test results, it will be hard for us to conceive naturally. He gave us a suggestion to go for IVF instead and we agreed. Immediateely, he asked his nurse to arrange to for us to meet up with the Centre for Assisted Reproduction (CARE) team for counselling.

We were lucky to get an appointment with them on the same day. The nurse showed us some slides and brief us on the IVF procedures. After going through the counselling, we decided to proceed with IVF and have asked the nurse to schedule us to meet up with the CARE team doctor.

I have been reading about IVF and not everyone is open about the IVF details. So I've decided to start this blog and share with everyone my experience.

Something more about myself. I am living in Singapore, married for 1 year 7 months. We have been trying the natural way to conceive since day 1 of marriage. I have tried TCM for a year but it didn't work. I have tried Basal Body Temperature (BBT) method to track ovaluation but it didn't work for me. My menses is not regular thus traditional methods won't work for me.

My gynae started me on clomid for 3 months followed by additional of metformin for another 2 months. The last time round, i was asked to take progesterone together with metformin and clomid.

Tomorrow we will be going to CARE for our first appointment. Will update once I'm back from my appointment.
