#8 Road to ICSI - Laparoscopy experience

My laparoscopy procedure is scheduled on the 7th of May 2015.
Best bukan on the 5th May tu pegi jumpa Dr. KB NG then 7th May terus buat laps?
Padahal masa sebelum jumpa tu bila diskas dgn DH, tak nak operate lagi sbb dah tak sanggup nak belah perut and wanted to try acupuncture.
Tapi tak tau lah mana datang kekuatan utk lalui semua tu dgn cepat dan tenang.

By right Dr. KB Ng tak advise pon buat laps at first sebab my fibroid is not attached to the uterus pon tp bila dia buat TVS, he can see why Dr. Tasha refer me to him.
The fibroid is actually pushing the pathway utk letak embrio tu nnt and the other one is actually pushing my right ovary slightly higher so Dr. Tasha takut when OPU nnt susah nak amik eggs.

We asked Dr. Ng on the estimation cost for the procedure. He estimated around RM 9k ++.
Y asked?

Because my insurance tak cover dah anything related to FIBROIDS!

Semua sbb Iols yg terlebih bijak pandai pegi upgrade policy lepas buat operation fibroid dulu tu.
Dang!
Lps buat segala kira2.. we decided to continue jugak.
DH ckp, duit boleh cari and my health is more important then anything else.


So on the 7th May, 10am I pon checked in kat Tung Shin Hospital.
Disuruh start posa dr kol 8 am and my laps was scheduled at 3 pm.

Before the procedure, they took my blood and did the sugar level test.
And my sugar level was high! Like 12.
But I was lucky it went down before the procedure to 8.

This is the moment before the nurse pushed me to the operation theater.

So as I remembered masa kat dlm OT tu dah pukul 3.25 pm.
Dr bius dtg and did the bius and within 5 minutes kot I terus passed out.
Sedar2 dah kat bilik balik with my hubby, mom, sis, bro in law and my 2 nieces including my bestfriend Abu ada.

And they told me the Laps took 5 hours!!
830 pm baru I kuar ya!
Padahal Dr Ng ckp patutnya 1 jam je!

Overall Dr Ng tebuk 4 lubang semuanya.
Took out 2 fibroids size 3 cm and 8 cm.
Yg membuat lama tu sebab dia kena betulkan adhesions sisa2 bekas operate yg lama tu.
Then letak my right ovary kat tempat yg sepatutnya.
Alhamdulillah both my tubes are not blocked.
Dan yg paling gembira bila Dr. Ng tunjuk my rahim yg dalam keadaan yg elok with no endo and Dr ckp I can deliver normal if I preggy nnt.
This time fibroid langsung tak kena rahim so Dr. tak usik la rahim tu.

The next day, I dah boleh bangun g toilet so Dr bagi I discharged.
I xde la nak berpantang sgt but my mom beria2..
Ari2 dia masak lauk sup !
After 2 weeks I dah pon keluar g mall.
Bahaha.

MC pon Dr bg 2 weeks je.

Ni dah 2 weeks masuk office baru terhegeh2 nak update.

Till then!

Total bill : RM 12K++

#6 Road to ICSI - Laparoscopy

Hello.

Lupa nak update lps jumpa Dr. Natasha last week on my CD 2.
Tah macamana boleh awal sehari pulak cycle bulan ni and my CD 1 falls on Sunday!
Camne nak buat appointment dengan clinic yang tutup?

So I pon gigih pepagi tu email Dr. Tasha and told her that I got my period that day and I need to see her on the next day.
I think lepas 2 hours kot Dr Tasha replied my mail and she said just come the next day at 10-11 am dekat KL Fert.

Pepagi Monday tu dah terpacak kat KL Fert and dpt turn no 2.
Masa tu tak ramai orang lagi and by 1030am dah dpt jumpa Dr.

As usual start with TVS.
Dr found 4 on my left ovary and on my right got 2 follicles itupon selepas Dr struggle to find my right ovary.
It has been blocked or maybe pushed slightly up due to my fibroid (s).

She asked for USG pulak but I was not full bladder.
Tapi try la jugak.
Yang nampak fibroid itupon tak jelas.

Dr asked me to go and have a drink bagi penuh bladder and come back after 45 minutes.
Dah puas minum, masuk la lagi sekali.
Still sama jugak. Right ovary tetap tak nampak.

And again, Dr suruh tambah lagi minum.
Mek masa tu dah nak terkencing sgt kot!

Waited for another 30 minutes before masuk lagi sekali.
And again, Dr buat USG.
Still, my right ovary tak nampak but fibroid is clearly seen 2.5cm X 2 cm in size.
So Dr advise not to proceed with IVF sebab dia takut fibroid tu akan mengganggu process embrio transfer nnt eventhough the fibroid is not in the uterus tp location dia memang tgh2 rahim tu.
She advised me to go for laparoscopy and referred me to Dr. Ng Kwee Boon at Tung Shin Hospital.
King of Laparoscopy katanya.

Ya Allah, masa tu Tuhan aje tau apa I rasa.
My heart broke into pieces knowing that I have to postpone my IVF bila I rasa I dah cukup bersedia utk itu.

Keluar je dr bilik Dr. Tasha, we both went for a quick lunch sbb I mmg lapar tp masa tunggu food smp memang menangis la I kat restaurant yg penuh orang tu.
Ado aku kesah?

As usual, DH mmg tenang. He comfort me by saying, my health is way more important to him rather than having a child right now.
Dia nak I pegi jumpa Dr. KB Ng tu jgk (which is today).

After 1 week thinking, I decided utk gagahkan jugak diri pegi jumpa Dr. KB Ng.

So tadi ke Tung Shin la I with DH.
Around 1030 am dpt jumpa Dr. 1st patient.

1st, Dr KB did USG.
Obviously mmg ada la fibroid tu. 2 biji tapi kecik.
Dr ckp by right the fibroid tak mengganggu rahim pon and shouldn't be a problem utk IVF tapi Dr. KB ckp jugak if pregnant, masa tu nanti ada masalah.
Dia pon tertanya jugak kenapa Dr. Tasha tulis dlm referral letter to that she worried there is a problem during the Embrio Transfer.
So Dr. KB asked to do a TVS.

Nah.. kat sini baru nampak clear kenapa Dr. Tasha mintak remove the fibroid.
I have 1 fibroid yg menghimpit laluan sperm ke rahim tu.
Size 3.5 cm x 3 cm kot.

Terus la Dr. ckp better laparoscopy when all the size is still small.
I asked when?
He said, the soonest this Thursday!
I pandang DH, DH looked at me.
Then DH asked, how long to recover.. Dr ckp seminggu dah ok dah.
Dok spital pon 1 nite je.

How much is the cost?
RM 9 K++.

Again kami berpandangan. Told the Dr that my insurance does not cover anything related to fibroid after I had my surgery last time.

After few minutes of thinking, DH ckp buat je lah Khamis ni.

We also asked, after laps, when can we proceed with the IVF and Dr. KB said after 2 mths time.
But I can try naturally within that time.

Laparoscopy it is.

This time, I don't cry.
Strong me.

Please pray for me ya!
Semoga Allah permudahkan semua ini...

Nanti I update lagi lps Laps ya.

Total cost with Dr. Natasha - RM 180
Total cost with Dr. KB Ng - RM 243
