First Visit to the O&G Clinic

This afternoon, I made my first ever visit to a gynae. When I called for an appointment a couple of weeks back, the nurse recommend that I come on a weekday, so that I can spend more time with the doctor to talk about our issues. (It would be more crowded on a weekend, with longer waiting time.)

Dr Lisa Chin's clinic is located in Gleneagles Medical Centre. After she spoke to us, she did a transvaginal ultrasound scan on me and reported that I have no abnormal cyst. My womb condition is fine and looks just as expected on CD4. Then, she gave us a piece of note about fertility awareness and instructed me to use the ovulation kit from day 11 to day 18 of my menstrual cycle. The first morning urine is to be used because it would be more concentrated. If the test is positive (i.e. two dark lines appear on the test kit), DH and I are to BD that night and the next. Ovulation is expected to occur the next day and usually there will be clear transparent mucus discharge. While the sperm can last for three days in the uterus, the egg can only survive for one day.
