The Lazy Writer


I'm a writer wannabe who just loves to write whenever I feel to do so.

Posting blogs may take some time, other times, too often.

And if my hypothalamus doesn't work for writing, I go for singing my top favorite low-key songs or cooking pasta dishes made of our own experimented ingredients.

I'm also a wife who keeps her husband's ATM to make sure everything is spent according to the budget, a sister for my friends who are now living far away from me, and a daughter of a senior citizen and an upcoming retiree.

The scary truths about fertility check-ups

Image
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. I go to the Davao Doctors Hospital for my TVS since my OB has her clinic also inside the hospital. 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. The fertility check-up is a very important part of the baby-making process for couples who are not able to conceive for their first year of trying. Among the tests which help detect the fertility problem for men is the semen analysis while for women are transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and hysterosalpingogram (HSG). Semen analysis test My OB gave us a slip—recommending DH to take a semen analysis. I called the Fertility Care Center Davao first to make a schedule. It is located beside the Brokenshire Hospital at Madapo Hills. They are open from Monday to Friday (8:00 AM - 5:00 PM) and Saturday (8:00 AM - 12:00 NN). 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

IVF Journey: What happened to our first round of IVF

Image
The month of August has just ended and so as our first IVF. Yes, our first round of the in-vitro fertilization procedure failed. What a nice introduction, right? I just hate putting many flowery words for now so let's go straight to the point. Prior to starting this drama, let me share with you the series of activities we did during our first IVF cycle. August 1 I had my first day of menstruation and I was so happy because it was easier to monitor my cycle as it started right on the first day of the month. I informed my Ob-Gyne about this. August 2 As advised by my Ob-Gyne, I had a TVS appointment on the second day for follicle monitoring. We only saw five to six dominant follicles as my FSH level was quite high than the normal (11). Higher FSH means having a low ovarian reserve. In other words, I'm producing low amount of eggs despite having an age of 27 years old. We monitored my follicles every other two days. I also started my injections for ovary stimulat
