After some time we got married, people start asking lots and lots of questions..heck, even after one week pon some people already start asking and touching my tummy. maybe it was due to the fact that i'm working in a company full of malays and malays (not all though) have this tendency and mentality that you have to be pregnant FAST, or else it's not good, a major no-no..even some of my relatives, husband's relatives pon keep on asking..sampai ke satu tahap, we don't know what to answer anymore. like asking every week could change anything right? some even questioned my mom about her fertility background!! (hello, my mom bunting pelamin ok, with me!) there were times that we got soo frustrated and disturbed by the questions and cruel remarks (you can imagine la the kind of questions kan) that we spent the night hugging and consoling each other.. :(
However, after some time husband and i started talking seriusly about this matter...we decided to give it a try for about one year, and then if we're not successful still, we'll seek for help. though the people around us keep on pressuring us, we still stay composed. Sometime around January we set an appointment with Dr Hamid Arshat; my mom visited him for her fibroid removal last time. He was a very cool and relax doctor, mcm ayah2 sket..so it was so calming just to look at him. The first appointment with him, he did a thorough scan from my v***** to have a closer look at my uterus, ovaries, etc. Alhamdulillah everything looked fine and in place :) He did some background checks and history on my menstrual cycle. Everything was ok because my cycle are perfectly on time. As everything was ok, he said the next step would be the HSG; a procedure in which some tracer fluid would be pump through my fallopian tubes to check for any blockage and then the fluid would be flushed to clear my tubes. During the procedure i can see through the xray screen the fluid passing through my tubes. Mind you, the tools (besi2 n tiub2) will go through the v***** too. It is quite painful, or org melayu kate senak la perut tu (note: i am tolerable to pain). After the procedure we went to see Dr Hamid and he explained about the result. He said my tubes and ovaries are fine, at certain places the fluid slowed down, this according to Dr Hamid may be caused by minor accumulation of dirt or backflow of period. However, the tracer fluid could still pass through my tubes...so insyaAllah apart from checking the condition of my tubes, the fluid flushing would also clear the highway hehehehe. Apart from this, i was also given meds such as acid folic and obimin to boost up the system hehe. According to Dr Hamid, 30-40% women who go through this procedure can get pregnant within 3 months. The 3 appointments with Dr Hamid (inclusive of the meds and HSG) cost me only rm450! Cheap ok if compared with other medical centers or homeopathy and what not.Plus Dr Hamid will try to do things as natural as possible, he will not force your body to accept all this drugs or operations if it's not necessary. Lastly he said, good luck...if after 3 cycle i am not pregnant, we need to arrange for another appointment with him.
Alhamdulillah...syukur yg tidak terhingga...i am now around 12 weeks :)
