After DH's semen analysis last October 2018 (in case you want to know about semen analysis, here's the link about that story), now it's my turn to have my fertility check-up too. I already had my transvaginal ultrasound last May and September 2018 then I decided to have my hysterosalpingogram in November. I'm planning on taking a three-week leave from work in December so we could focus on our baby dancing. Transvaginal Ultrasound (TVS) and Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) During my second TVS in September 2018, I was diagnosed with having polycystic ovaries. Our company has an HMO provider and it has been really a big help in all my check-ups. I use it whenever I have my diagnostic tests and OB consultations.

It's a bit inconvenient since I have to line up for the ultrasound and right after, I have to line up again for my OB. I am thinking of changing my OB bu

For almost a year of not conceiving, I already firmed up my mind to ask my OB if DH and I can undergo a fertility check-up already.

I made a schedule for a Saturday appointment, at 8:00 AM. We were advised to be at the venue 15 minutes prior to the scheduled time for some preparations. The semen analysis costs Php 950. During the test day, we were given a choice if

November 2018. Just a year after our wedding, I finally got time to post about it. Work and daughter/wife duties are currently consuming my time since these past months. It is indeed a new stage in my life - where I am no longer single and I'm deciding on my own only.  Many of my friends are getting married almost every year. And based on my experience, the preparation stage is a looks-like-an-exciting experience at first but eventually, as your wedding date slowly comes, all problems sink in. And tenen! You now reached the level of being a certified BRIDEzilla! LOL Well, of course, cramming is normal. But, just make sure it doesn't lead to a disastrous wedding which is every couple's nightmare. So what and how to plan, really? 1. Prepare six to twelve months prior to your chosen wedding date. This is the most important part of the wedding preparation. For a conservative type of bride like me, 12 months of preparation is already good and feasible. You can a
