Preparing for IUI

Just few days back, my girlfriends were chatting in WhatsApp and one of them shared the happy news of her sister's successful IVF after several months of TCM. Her physician has a really good reputation in fertility treatment and had many success stories.

Dr Su Chun Lin (苏群淋)
Fu Nan Traditional Chinese Medical Centre
Blk 152 Bukit Batok Street 11
#01-266
Singapore 650152
Tel: 6896 1618

Dr Su shares the clinic with another TCM physician (whom many say is her husband). Since their charges are lower, their clinic is always super crowded. When I went there yesterday, she happens to be on leave, so I did my registration and left. Today, I called the clinic at their opening hour to take a queue number. The staff on the phone gave me a good estimate of the time to arrive at the clinic, so I didn't have to wait very long for my turn. Dr Su took my pulse and said that my body is fine. I just need to improve the quality and quantity of my blood. It came as a surprise to me that Dr Su doesn't do acupuncture, the other physician at the clinic does. I didn't want to re-queue and wait so long for the acupuncture, so I left with the medicine, which costed only $54 for 2 weeks' worth of medication.

It might be a little late to start TCM now (since my IUI is likely to be schedule in less than 2 weeks' time), but I guess it's still better than doing nothing at all.
