What's Ovarian Drilling

Hola soulsista!

Ok today, I want to talk about Ovarian Drilling(OD). Share my knowledge..*Hopefully pengetahuan ini betul and berguna untuk sesiapa yang TTC

Ovarian Drilling? What's that?

Okay, OD ni adalah procedure dalam laparoscopy.. laparoscopy ini adalah mini operation, atau pembedahan kecil yang melibatkan perut/peranakan perempuan ditebuk dengan 3 holes/lubang..like this..
and OD is helping Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), like me to conceive...

So, as you can see...ada 3 incision satu belah kiri atas, tebukan kedua betul2 di pusat..(belly button) and the last hole will be at the bottom there..yang bawah skali ..nampak?

So, why 3 incisions..?
1. To insert camera dalam perut tu.. * this is what we called laparoscope (ini dekat belly button)
2. For doctor to do his work ..cutting, poking, drilling
3. For nurse / other doctor to filled gas CO2, or karbon dioksida..

Apa kegunaan Karbon dioksida itu?
Ok , CO2 fungsi dia ialah untuk menolong doktor mendapat ruang yang lagi besar dalam sistem peranakan..senang doctor nak move around..So bila diletakkan gas dalam perut kita..our perut will be kembunggg or bloating...couse dah kena pam..hehe..

Laparoscopy procedure

Gas ini jugak akan menceraikan organ organ dalam badan kita , so again to assist doctor untuk senang cari our ovari...our ovaries are hidden between organ and muscle..

General inside...

Creepy isn't it...tak apa...nak belajar and get the knowledge..so tahan sikit!! Hehehe

Anyhoo.. kat atas ini ada numbers:

1. Our Uterus...or Rahim peranakan..our baby supposed to grow inside it
2. Tube Fallopian : This tube ada jari jemari which akan grab the telor from ovary and helps the egg to move to uterus..
3. Our Ovaries white color...see they were hidden sikit..photo atas ini, yang doctor dah belek..

* btw, this photo is taken from Google image..

From there,doctor could confirm whether your ovary, uterus, tube normal or got issues..

How exactly is normal? 

Ovary normal: The ovaries are about the size and shape of an almond.. So x besar..like this.. (this photo is illustrated..its not real ovary..ini playdoh modelling..

Beza kan..

In reality..this taken from Google..

What about abnormal ovary?

Okay, kita panggil PCOS..it is not abnormal..ingat PCOS is not abnormal..it just some people has it..is like some people has lots of pimple on her face some people don't.. but you don't label people with lots of pimple as abnormal kan..no right? Why..bcoz itu semua disebabkan hormon yang tidak teratur..sama la macam PCOS

PCOS or PCO macam bawah ni..

Inside PCOS Ovary, banyak kan cyst kat tepi2 tu...

The photo below pulak, after the OD dah dibuat ke atas PCOS Ovary ini..

Scary kan!! Lebih kurang macam ini la  my Ovary looked like (only left side)

So to summarize it,

• Our ovary is whitish like pearl color
• PCOS ovary is bigger than normal ovary 1.5 -3 times larger than normal. Normal ovary macam besar sikit dari ibu jari kita..*I think so, from my video..
• PCOS is not treatable..don't be sad... kita boleh halang dia dari menjelma..which ..having HEALTHY LIFE and HEALTY FOOD...and DIET...!!

Okay, that's all for Ovary Drilling session 1...nanti I upload lagi pasal tube and Uterus.. wink wink ;)

Post Laparoscopy Part II

Okay next!

The findings!

1. I was diagnosed with PCOS (left ovary)

2. My tube is perfectly fine!! (left side)

1. My Ovary was very normal (obviously..right ovary!)

2. My tube is not blocked..but its kind of very narrow..? Sempit...small ( Like my vain??)

So how am I going to successfully get pregnant if both side has its own unique disadvantage?

...and the cost for Lap and OD were roughly around RM 8,900..give and take.*Cry..

Thank God I have unlimited health insurance with my company....if not..there's NO WAY I would use our saving just to know what's going on inside me...hmm...

Honestly i felt devastated..Am i destined to do IVF??...it is so damn expensive! Ya Allah..tenangkan la hati ku ini...Hanya Engkau yang Maha Mengetahui...

*************************************************************************

Forgot to mention...what Dr. Suhami did during the ops..

1. He drilled my left ovary..(bigger and looked swelling compared to right ovary).. and he drilled 9-10 holes..auchhh!!

2. He drilled my right ovary...(yes..even it seems normal...the doctor need to drill a bit just to 'poke' the ovary to wake up and do her job...hehhe...so all the egg which still 'sleeping beauty' to wake up and starts to grooming themselves..

3. Blue dye both my fallopian tube..Left is great...Right not so much...

So after dah balik rumah and everything..Doctor gave me 2 weeks MC ( I just used up 7 days only..boring kot duk rumah..baik kerja..)

I was bleeding for about 5days..and brownish discharge perhaps another 3 days..

Since I am A SUPERWOMAN...! So I just resumed my daily routine as usual after 7 days..

and I did not having any sayang session for 17 days..well I can manage that...him? Not so much...hihihih

FYI: I didn't undergo or taken Clomid or any hormon prescription.. Just pergi ke gold package ..Lap and OD..I just need to know FACTS before went down with other medication..

Post Laparascopy

Hola!

So I just told you about my pre-lap..no moving on to during and post lap..

Well my MIL and SIL was waiting patiently until I finished the procedure..It last for 2 hours 20 mins! Around 4PM (So much for 1 hour procedure..*hehe)

So back then...I was like ting tong ding dong...All I remembered I did say " Jangan kacau kak izzy...nanti muntah..."

Tapi I did hear the nurse says something to my MIL about the recording of my procedure... WHATTA? They recorded it..

If not because of my mind was fragile (hehhee) that time...memang confirm I will be the FIRST to watch it...!

So my sweet MIL did bring her mini DVD player (Dont get shocked..she's got like EVERYTHING in her handbag...! You name it..ANYTHING...even playar or screwdriver okkkkay!...)

Time mamai tu...I ada la dengar my MIL and SIL "euwww " sana "euwww" sini.. and "oh ma mak..yang ini kakak tau..ini ovari.."

Hehehe...so now they are officially know me inside out..for better and for worst...! hahhaha

So..don't you feel weird...where's my HUSBAND???? Yes..? where was he...!!!

He was working and went out from office after 6PM and reached at the hospital at 10PM...bravo... *yea..yea...just blame the traffic..duuuhh*

So I was overnight for 1 day and checked out the day after..

You wanna know the findings from my lap? I will write to you shortly ya..

Pre- laparoscopy

Well Brenda,

Open sesame diary...!! Kind of addicted to keep on typing..

Just so excited today...now im getting my period today.. O dear AF..its been a while..since i have made massive invasion to my own ovum factory on 30th October 2012 through

                                                             LAPARASCOPY... 

                                                                          &

                                                         OVARIAN DRILLING  (OD)

Creepy..? kind of la...bila my middle arm was poked with anesthesia needle..the Syukur Tuhan my anesthetic doctor was very gentleman and soft spoken...*Rasa semua doctor memang kena ada personality macam ini kot...hehe..

Arm shot!

The doctor ..I forgot the name..let me see..hmmm I think his name was Dr. Chung.. I don't remember since all I was thinking was about the Lap! Hehehe

So he kept on poking my vain..here and there and he said "Your vain is very delicate..and very small..!" and smiled..

I was like..."okay..so am I in trouble..? would it complicate this ?" I started to FREAAKKK OUTT

He just smiled and say "No such thing dear...just calm down" (while injecting the drug into me..)

During that time.. I felt like my arm was super numb...and I was like looking around with ting tong face.. and..the last thing I remember..

My dear dear doctor..Dr Suhaimi.!!!..He managed to say something to me before I closed my eyes..

"Dont be afraid..I'll be seeing you after this.."
