LPPKN – IUI Procedure
You can choose to take the fertility drugs and doing it naturally by having sex on a specified date as advised by your doctor. I’ve tried that two times but to no avail.
So, we decided to go for IUI (Intrauterine insemination).
So, what is IUI?
IUI is a fertility treatment that uses a catheter to place a [...]
LPPKN – Gonal-F (Follitropin alfa)
Since the fertility pills (Clomid) alone coulds help increase my egg counts, my doctor prescribed me with fertility injections (Gonal-F) together with the pills.
I searched the internet to learn more about the injection prescribed by my doctor.
Follitropin alfa is a synthetic form of the naturally-occurring follicle stimulating hormone produced by genetically-engineered Chinese hamster ovary cells. [...]

LPPKN – HSG (Hysterosalpingography)
If the husband’s sperms are in good conditions, it’s time to have a check on the wife.
HSG is primarily used to examine women who have difficulty becoming pregnant by allowing the radiologist to evaluate the shape and structure of the uterus, the openness of the fallopian tubes, and any scarring within the peritoneal cavity.
I went [...]
LPPKN – Semen Analysis
Fertility treatment at LPPKN has a few steps that need to be followed in sequences.
The first important test is the Semen Analysis or Sperm Analysis (SA). If the Semen Analysis result is negative, the husband will be asked to have a repeat test.
If the result is still negative, the husband will be asked to get [...]
LPPKN – Fertility Treatment
I’ve mentioned somewhere in my blog that I conceived through IUI (Intrauterine Insemination). Yeap, after trying to have a baby through the natural way for 3 years, we decided it was time to get some help.
I’ll be re-writing back some posts from my old blog about fertility treatment at LPPKN. I hope this can be [...]
Confirmed By Dr
We went to see Dr K at LPPKN this morning. It was raining like crazy. But luckily, the road was clear and the traffic was smooth.
We reached LPPKN at 7.05am. So very early!
After getting the ticket, I was asked to go to the 10th Floor for Urine Pregnancy Test (UPT). First, we were shocked to [...]
hCG – What’s That?
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a peptide hormone produced in pregnancy, that is made by the embryo soon after conception and later by the syncytiotrophoblast (part of the placenta).
Its role is to prevent the disintegration of the corpus luteum of the ovary and thereby maintain progesterone production that is critical for a pregnancy in humans. [...]

Still Not Pregnant….
We kept our fingers crossed and hoping for a miracle.
But, on 2 July 2007, I had my period. And, it came 6 days early from the expected date. Also, it was not like the normal period – the color started from brown to maroon and brown again.
Usually, my period start with light red, bright red, [...]

Do The Eggs Matured?
On 21st may 2007, I went to see Dr K again. And, do the ultrasound again.
The first time I did the ultrasound, I felt itchy at my private part. Maybe it was the gel. But, this time I was feeling better — no more itchiness.
I was dissapointed that the number of big eggs didn’t increase. [...]
