A visit to Dr P's office

We were introduced to a very reputable doctor also known as the IVF king in Malaysia located at Damansara Heights.

Called to make an appointment.. Next available date was 1 week later..

Was so excited to see a 2nd opinion.. Anxious, counting the days to the appointment date...

The clinic is very nice and clean and has lots of successful Ivf baby stories and photos.

When it was our turn.. Walked into the office to finally see Dr. P. There's a lady next to him.. Maybe a nurse or assistant? Which I'm not sure why she's there as we are going to share our personal matters.. But I guessed she must be his witness? If anything does go wrong...

Showed him all our results, pap smear, blood test, sperm count.. We didn't have to say anything.. Just showed him and let the papers do the talking..

So he talked about options, and said he wants to do some checks on hubs, (check check and touch touch)  (i think)

option 1, is to do a biopsy on hub's testicle, which is RM3500 to find any sperm available in there.. If yes, he will take it and freeze it, and prepare me for IVF- or in our case it will be ICSI. which cost slightly more than IVF.. think it's almost RM20,000..

Option 2 is to get a sperm donor, we can get an unknown sperm donor from their little sperm bank that they have. They would match it with a fair chinese with same blood type of my hubs. OR someone we know wants to donate some sperm. :P And we can do an IUI which cost about RM2000

Instantly i knew i wanted to pick Option 2, because we practically don't have RM20,000 over PLUS PLUS to try on an ICSI and Biopsy which is not 100% guaranteed ... and will be broke before we have a child.. and raising a kid is never cheap.

1st time consultation at Dr P's was RM100- (park at his building, you get an hour free ticket)
