First Appt with Dr.Marsita Mansor

For those who knows me, they would know that I have been married for almost 3 years now but still no luck with any minis. :p This entry can be considered as the sequel to my newly found best gynae. :p

If there is anything I know about appointments with a gynae, it is that it takes forever to finally get called in to see the doc. Gotta be patient.

Being the ambitious me, I told my husband we have to register ourselves at 10am as soon as the clinic opens and we did. The nurse informed that doc will only come in after 3pm so we can go out and chill.

Super anxious me asked what do I need to do to see the doc and what will the doc do to me. lol I have t know all just to ensure I do it right. The nurse told me she needs to take my weight and height. And then, when we come back at 3pm she will pass me a container to fill in with sperm extraction. I don't know how we are going to do it coz it is juz odd doing things outside a bedroom. :p

I took this opportunity to spend some time with Mr.Husband and treat my bestie a birthday lunch. After lunch, we made our way back to the clinic. I took the container and went into a room at the clinic. It is equipped with a bed, prayer mat and a tv. My husband performed Zohor prayer.

When done, we passed the container back to the nurse. Our name only got called at about 6pm. The wait was long but it wasn't too bad as it is quite comfortable there. There are TVs and sofa. Not to forget free Wifi and as usual, I have my book with me.

Upon seeing the doc, we greeted each other. We sat down. She asks about how long we have been married and did a lil analyzing on my period cycle, how I feel about it and if I'm taking any meds. So ladies, it is good to keep track of your period cycles,dates and duration. It helps to see changes in your body and it makes it easier for you to answer your doc. ;) Based on what I told her, things are pretty off. Not surprising at all. I also informed her that I cancelled my first appointment with her coz I was having my period. She mentioned it would have been the right time. Ah well, during this appointment I was in my final days. She took the reading of my blood pressure and our sugar level reading. Everything is normal so far despite the fact we just had lunch.

She did a scan on my uterus and ovaries. Found the following:
- Retroverted uterus
- Uterus stuck to the back
- Endometriosis
- PCOS
- Traces of blood in the canal
- Size of ovaries are about 3 times the normal size; ABNORMAL

She explained how these made it hard for us to conceive and why I have to go through hell during my period. Not to mention why my period comes as it wishes or not come at all. She advised to go for surgery. She will perform 7 procedures on me. The scar will be about 4-5cm. I will not be under GA but she will get me sedated. Me.SCARED. I asked if I will be conscious when she performs everything, she said no and even if I am I won't feel a thing. Phew!

We were given 2 options as to where we want to get it done; KPJ Ampang Puteri OR Columbia Hospital. I picked KPJ Ampang Puteri as it is nearer to my parents' place. We filled up the Admission Form and Great Eastern Guarantee Letter. She said we can go back to discuss with our families or get second opinion on this. She would understand and I can give her a call anytime I am ready to schedule a surgery date. Btw, she only performs surgery on Mondays. Just FYI.

Alhamdulillah sperm count is great. One less entity to worry about. =)

We walked out with no meds but extra virgin olive oil, honey and pomegranate base.
I felt happy with the appointment and the doc. Heart wasn't heavy about my situation. This may sound crazy but I have already expected it. I have always known I have retroverted uterus. I know it is stuck from a traditional practitioner we met last year. I suspected that I have endometriosis. Others that I just found out are additional. We must be the calmest upon hearing the news. haha

Next move: Prepare for surgery.

They were some points in my life where I feel so desperate to have children but after awhile it just sails away. I still want but not desperate. I keep feeling that it is probably not the time yet and that He has better plans for me. Who am I kidding? I don't even have my own roof and my work is crazy. On top of that, my current earning is not satisfying. :p Anyway,  I only feel the need to have kids when I am reminded of my age. I still feel 22. =)
