New Journey

Time truly flies and it has been 1 year and 1 month since the last embryo transfer.

Here is what’s been happening:

24th March 2017:
Dr Ann’s nurse who works closely with her dropped me a text to not give up.

After resting for 6 months and recuperating both body, mind and spirit, we booked an appointment with Dr Ann

26th September 2017:
Regular visit to Dr Ann

Somehow, I cannot remember the details about our visit to her but all I know was God spoke to me to not be limited in my lenses and decisions. Because of that, we decided to give BKK a try. Dr Wiwat was introduced to us by Paullyn’s Friend who had failed IVF attempts in Singapore but conceived under the hands of Dr Wiwat. Friends and family were concerned about our decision and wondered whether it was even safe. However, a Friend in the medical industry once told us that BKK’s medical industry is very advance and so after praying and having the peace, we made an appointment to see Dr Wiwat from Safe Fertility Centre in BKK on 8/12/2017.

He advised me to go through a Heteroscopy which is a scope through the bottom under GA. During the scope he wouldd check for any abnormalities / fibroids etc...

We booked a 2nd appt with him 12/01/2018  and 3rd appt 23/02/2018. Both were to undergo Heteroscopy.  After the first heteroscopy, he personally feels that the reason for the ‘infertility’ is because of the many adhesions in the womb from the multiple procedures / operations I have undergone with various gynaes. Adhesions are like cobwebs and they hinder the embryos from growing and so Dr Wiwat had to clear out the adhesions 2 times. After the 2nd heteroscopy, Dr Wiwat said that he feels that we have 99% chance of conceiving and the 1% is luck. He advised us to do the embryo transfer in SG because of the remaining embryos that I have and it is just better for my psychological well being.

He told us to wait for 2 months to allow the womb to rest before starting to try naturally first and if unsuccessful, embryo transfer next.

Since then, I have personally been contemplating whether to continue with Dr Ann or to switch gynae. We have been praying and still uncertain. I was sharing with some close friends about our dilemma. The only reason why we contemplated switching gynae was because Dr Ann mentioned surrogacy after my first failed IVF and the next visit in Sept too. If our gynae cannot believe with us than it is quite hard to move on with her. Yet she knows my condition and we’ve been with her for a few years now. We even contemplated doing a fresh cycle with Dr Wiwat but going through the whole process is just daunting.

It is truly a dilemma and I am seeking the Lord for directions. Please keep us in prayer if you’re reading this. Thank you.

To my friends who are now in the midst of your first IVF cycle, my advise would be believe and pray for the best but prepare otherwise so that your heart will be okay and that you will have the momentum to go on to the next cycle .To my Friend who is undergoing 2nd time, Jia you!! I am praying and believing all will be well! Rest....rest....rest.
