Apprehension
Feeling uncertain again.
It used to be YES we really want our own child/children. So we tried and tried and tried. It was a norm to spend weekday afternoons at the clinics waiting for our turn to catch the doc. Hours and hours are "wasted" in the waiting area, along the corridor, getting to & fro the clinic not to mention the tonnes and tonnes of $ spent too. All those kinda went down the drain since no child was formulated out of it.
When western medicine failed us, we turned to TCM. There were some bright moments during the early months of TCM treatments, but for some reasons, the TCM person refused to poke needles in me. Perhaps it was a time constraint or she was not trained in that area, she simply brushed us off each time we spoke about acupuncture. Maybe my body works better slowly instead of rushing things through. After 18months of TCM treatment, there was still no good news and even the TCM person was getting frustrated and you can see that she kinda lost interest in treating me. So I lost interest in going to her as well.
So what's next?
We were offered a few choices:
1. Osteopath who is excellent at treating fertility through back massages, stimulates certain nerves there.
2. Dr Fong who runs his own clinic, started in 2002 as an O&G specialist. Does not mind patients who does TCM treatment.
3. Dr Sheila Loh from Raffles Medical Center who seems (online resources) to be competent and compliments her treatment WITH TCM.
4. Dr. Ann Tan runs her own clinic, has excellent website but is she really that good?
However, a new twist arrived, I think I am sensing enough discomforts with my body to know that the notty, adhesion problem has recurred. So who do we see first? Hmm.....
Its not just about seeing the doctors, but also, am I ready for the whole ball game of waiting, seeing, explaining, paying, facing the faces that will not be able to give me definite answers but "we'll try" approach.
Am I ready for it?
