My TTC Journey Thus Far

Hello ppl..

I've been married to my DH for 2 years 6 months already.. Yes, it's not that long, but it feels like forever.. He's working in Brazil, whilst I'm here.. I rarely see him, not that I'm complaining, but I was all alone throughout my TTC journey (sad huh?)..


May 2009 - We got married

July 2009 - UPT +ve, but was diagnosed with Ectopic Pregnancy. Therefore, my right fallopian tube was removed.

September 2009 - Another UPT +ve, but had a miscarriage at 8th weeks.

December 2009 - Took birth control pills with the intention not to get pregnant for 1 year.

July 2010 - Diagnosed with blockage at my left fallopian tube. Therefore i stopped taking the birth control pills. I started to realize that it's hard for me to conceive naturally.

September 2010 - Approached a fertility centre at Metro, KL branch and the Dr. discovered that my DH's sperm was at a very low quality, even tough the quantity was over-whelming.

October 2010 - Started to consider the options to conceive.

November 2010 - The first IVF/ICSI's journey began at Metro, KL Branch. 25 eggs retrieved from OPU and 3 embies were transferred. Another 3 embies were frozen.

December 2010 - Suffered OHSS!! The first IVF failed. It was a BFN!!!

February 2011 - Started my FET Journey. Endometrium lining had failed to develop. FET journey postponed to the next menstrual cycle.

March 2011 - Endometrium lining only developed at 9mm, and the Dr decided to transfer the 3 embies to my uterus. After 2ww, it was also a BFN!!!

July 2011 - Approached another fertility centre at DEMC, Shah Alam. The Dr diagnosed me of having PCOS in my both ovaries.


September 2011 - Approached another fertility centre at Alpha, Sunway Damansara. Dr suggested me to do laparoscopy ovarian drilling (LOD) to treat my PCOS. Had to wait for my next menstrual cycle.

October 2011 - Undergone the LOD with Alpha. Dr suggested me to undergo another IVF after 2 menstrual cycles.

At present - contemplating where to undergo the IVF treatment. whether Alpha, Sunfert or HUKM?



When i looked back at the journey above, I feel myself like a super-hero.. It takes a superman guts to go through all those. Pills after pills, drs after drs, shots after shots.. i wonder what's next?


Whatever it is, im thankful to Allah for everything that He bestowed upon me. Walaupun susah, aku tetap bersyukur kerana aku tahu, semua ini dugaan buat aku.. Aku tahu, setiap dugaan, setiap air mata yg mengalir adalah penghapus dosa..


I wont give up. Ya Allah, please gimme strength to move on with this journey, I'm thankful for all the challenges and I do hope that You will guide me along the way.. ameen..

    sure will do, i really like ur blog title. really creative one. and the quote by Bill Rancic. Oh ya i love it too. if its not Ok its not the end right? we only get what's destined to us. it doesn't mean we give up. But even if we break our head we would not get what's not destined to us correct?

    I've jus been through this realization, since i was very very sad and frustrated last few days after my results. now kinda thinking I've got some really good opportunities in life, which i'm not appreciating coz of all this ttc failures. Let's appreciate and be cheerful on what we got in life. it'll happen when its the correct time.

    just read ur latest post, ya I have to struggle a lot too before i get what i wanted. it's been the case throughout my life. we both have to battle it out gal
