Ouch From NUH Visit 1

ok... its HELL.. and total in a day i spent like $200+.

Lets start with my husband tests:
1)Sperm Test- $55

Ok its amusing lor, must take 1hour after he shoot. Er.. Like how? Morning before he go work, shoot ar? Then jelly legs at there work..? I can imagine that. LOL... And must store in room temperature and these are the listed instructions:
-Empty your bladder before semen collection
-Wash your hands and penis thoroughly with water and wipe dry with the clean paper towels provided. Do not use soap when washing your hands and penis.
-Open the sterile container very carefully without touching the inside and place the lid reverse on the table to prevent contamination of its inside.
-Masturbate and collect the semen without spillage into the sterile container.Do not use any lubricant or condom.If there is spillage do not collect from the floor. Inform the lab staff if there is spillage.
-wash your hands quickly, wipe dry and close the container with the sterile lid.
-Abstain from sex or masturbation from 2-6days.

(lol at the last one. I have no problem cause of my menses and hubby can abstain during that time too.)

2) Blood test for checking if he has Thalassameia and Full blood count -$70
Because i have minor thalassameia so hubby has to check if he has to. Because if we both have our baby 70% will have thalassemeia too. And it can be very dangerous.

3) I dont that which of the above (2) it is but she actually inserted a tube thingy into my vaginal and i was having menses. make me damn pai seh cause left a bloody mess and i actually go excited cause she something like dig dig dig -blush-

Ok look, he so good, he has one semen test and 2 blood test, while i have LOTSA things.

Mine:
Total amount: $122.50

1)Thalassameia blood check cause i am not sure what type of thalassameia i have

2)Amenorrhoea and Chlamydia trachomatis. Not sure what is this both each mean but i know that one is to collect my hormone data and one is to see my blood count if i never remember wrongly.

Ok and i have 2 more things lining up for me is:

-Scan for my uterus (i think) to see if any abnormalties.

- Blood test AGAIN to check if im ovulating.(more like i can be fertile anot)

And it WAS HORRIFYING!! They drew like 3 tubes of blood. Imagine how big those tubes are and its full of MY BLOOD!! waaa.. and 3 tubes!! And i was scared of needles and drew my blood so long. I was getting freaked out by the needle stuck inside my skin..

Anyways. Lemme see, so total i spent like
$247.50
+ Taxi fare
First trip : $14
Back trip: $ 15.20

Thankgod mine is subsidized else will pay like siao, un-subsidized fees is like:
$147(hubby ones) +$286.90(mine)
Total= $ 433.90 not including cab fare~!!!

So ex.. sobs
But for the sake of my new prince/princess, its worth it..
