How long did it take you to conceive your babies? Was it longer or shorter than you thought? Was the journey better or worse than you expected?
Please share your experience which could benefits the other TTCians like me.

6 years, with endometriosis stage 3, fibroid, obesity and diabetes type 2. Married late (at 34). Tried iui once and nothing happened. Doctor recommended ivf due to advanced age and recurrent endometriosis but the cost is too high for the low success rate (in our opinion) so we decided to let nature takes it course and probably give up at 40.
2 months after hitting 39, I got pregnant naturally (was a very high risk pregnancy due to age and health) but managed to carry the baby as smoothly as I can till 38 weeks and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl last August.
I'm just thankful to experience a pregnancy and birthing for the first and last time. Just relax, pray and be cool about it I guess.. 🤔😊

Have you done with your HSG test before?
Did you take Clomid? If yes, how was the response during the IUI?

Two months after marriage for me, I have tried ovulation kits during the first month but it did not work because it added pressure to my husband apparently. So for the second month we did not use anything kit or count any dates but surprisingly we conceived in the second month. So I think the best is go with the flow and don't give any pressure to your partner.

Right now we're with Dr Navdeep Singh Pannu at Thompson Hospital (formerly Tropicana Medical Centre). With our first visit, Dr mentioned that he has his own goal which is to have his patients pregnant within 6 months from the first date he sees them. He usually can, unless there are seriously serious issues going on. Though we took this with a pinch of salt as to not put in too much hope and see where it goes.

We're only on our 1.5 month going into 2 months. We also met acquaintances at the hospital that have successfully conceived after IUI & IVF after 3+ months with him.

Unfortunately, 1st IUI failed even though conditions were all good and the egg matured well, etc. So started the 2nd IUI and we decided to cancel it partway due to my eggs not maturing well even with a higher dosage of hormones. This is due to my PCOS and also my body is quite resistant to the hormones. It was crushing then, but Dr Navdeep was so kind and empathetic that he too felt the blow and remembered all our issues the next visit one month later without going through our file.

Due to the nature of how fast my body is resistant to the IUI (Folliculin 150ui - injections & Letrozole - pills), he recommended IVF to save time as my age is catching up. We too want to minimise the headache. It is expensive, but going through multiple rounds is equally as much, as one round of IUI goes up to 3-4k.

Now on this IVF, there's a promo Thompson's TMC is running which is only RM15k all in, this promo is until end Oct this year only. Which includes consultation, meds, the implantation procedure, nursing fees, storage, ICSI and etc.

As we've just started this IVF with a higher dosage (Puregon 300ui) every single day, though it's only my 3rd cycle day. There's still a few weeks to go before the retrieval and all.
