I have decided

The previous post was written 2 weeks ago, but I only managed to post it yesterday. While I was deciding if I wanted IVF or not, I actually made an appointment with KKH. You know....just to talk to the doctor and see if I am comfortable with IVF and of course, the doctor. I did some research online and I chose him cos he was described as being patient and nice. True enough, he was! In any case, I had a very good impression of KKH and .....

I have decided. I am moving on.

He said something that makes sense to me. If I am going to decide "maybe 2 years later", I might as well do it now. There is no point to delay an action that you want to put forward. 2 years later, my chances of being fertile will be even lower than today. He made me feel very comfortable and he made me feel that this is all about me - What I am comfortable with and why I want to do it. At that point in time, I knew I wanted to move forward. Time is not on my end and I know I really want to have a baby. So there is no point to drag my feet around it. H is right (again). We just have to move on.

Success rate is 32% for my age bracket. So there is an even higher chance of me not pregnant. But....let's focus on the 32% chance and be glad that I even have 32%. Some people might not even have that kind of % due to other factors...

I shall blog about the treatment I had at KKH in my next post. Total opposite of what I would expect!!!

4 failed IUIs and I want to move on

It has been 3 weeks after my last heartbreak and honestly, I still do not know what I want, or can do. I don't know if there are many people who are like me. I took the easier and cheaper way out by going through IUI. But to progress from IUI to IVF seems more than just 1 baby step over the tiny stream. It is a cliff jumping step.

Before the 3rd IUI, H says that we have no choice. We just have to move forward - meaning IUI after IUI. However, after the 4th failed attempt, doctor has advised us that going forward with IUI is no longer an option. She advised us to take a break, make a decision if we want to move on to IVF and come back 3 months later.

And yes....honestly, I have no option. I need to move on to IVF. But am I even ready for it? I really don't know. I have made an appointment with another doctor. A doctor that seemingly has a high hit %. Let's see how this goes.....
