Hyfosy Appointment

I am waiting for Hyfosy appointment at KKH. Last month couldn’t get one as there’s no vacancy. Hope to get this month so we would proceed with the fertility consultation. #anxious How’s anyone experience?

I was terrified actually and very anxious before the procedure but I knew I had to go through it. They asked me to lie down and as I stared at the ceiling lights, I try to calm myself down by deep breathing. I also told them that I was feeling anxious and they were very nice which helped to calm me down. I think they will insert the speculum before inserting the tube with the balloon and dye... so it feels like a pap smear checkup. Something I hate as well but you just have to try and relax. The balloon will rupture inside your uterus to release the dye. I think you might feel slight cramps here but for me it was bearable. The painful part for me was when they did the vaginal scan and the sonographer kept pressing hard inside of me to “see more clearly”. I made some sounds to show discomfort and she kept apologising and told me to hang on cos she needs to see the tubes properly and that my uterus is “quite high”. But pain is still bearable. There’s some spotting after the procedure but I don’t feel any pain immediately after. To me, it was more terrifying in the mind rather than the actual thing. So if you’re feeling anxious, just remember it’s not as bad as you think it is. Good luck in booking your appointment!

Anyone care to share about newborn jaundice? My boy has been admitted to special ward nursery after 1 discharge 3 days ago. This is his 2nd time there. Levels are ranging from 211-316 today. How long does it take to cure? Anything I can do to help? #ftm #anxious

hi, my baby had jaundice. was discharged and had to go in for phototherapy for a day. started at 270. after discharged from hospital was 170 and had three appointments at poly for follow up & finally discharged at 41. the whole process took about 2.5 weeks. they say breastmilk helps if not consistent feeding and peeing & pooping a lot helps to clear the bilirubin in baby's body. my baby also had morning walks about 3-4 times a week (please don't allow direct sunlight, in the shades under the block will do) between 7-8am. hope this helps!
