Check up at An-Nur O&G clinic - 1st appointment

After 1 year 5 months of marriage and no baby, me and my hubby decided to go for a check up. After asking around and doing some 'googling', its quite to confusing to choose which clinic or hospital to go to. We have heard about LPPKN and Hamid Arshat  from a friend but due to its location (LPPKN-jln raja laut, kl, Hamid Arshat-Damansara) which is quite far from our home, we decided to look for a closer location first.

We found An-Nur O&G clinic in Bangi.. which is quite near to our place. First appointment on March 2011. We met Dr. F. My first impression.... not good. Awal2 dah bagi statement yg negative.. i still remember the exact words she said "Doktor (referring herself as "doctor") tak paham kenapa pasangan zaman sekarang ni tak sabar sgt nak buat check up. ada yg dtg jumpa doktor nak buat check up 3-6 bulan lepas kawen sbb tak dpt baby" .. berdesing telinga aku mendengarnye.. Dia igt semua org bertuah mcm dia ke dpt anak lepas kawen? rasa nak jawab je kat Dr.F "Doc, sy ni byr doc utk servis yg saya nak..sukati saya la nak dtg 3 bulan lepas kawen ke... 1 thn pas kawen ke... 5 thn pas kawen ke.. duit saya, sukati saya la nak buat camne" .. tapi tak terkeluor la ayat tu disebabkan rasa hormat kpd doc yg mungkin boleh tolong kitorang dpt baby.. telan je la ayat Dr.F dgn senyum kambing.. Nak dijadikan cerita, Dr. F tanya la hubby kat seblah whether hisap rokok ke tak..  hubby dah berenti hisap rokok at that time.. then, boleh pulak dia mintak advice dari hubby camne nak berenti merokok sbb anak dia yg umor 19 thn (or 21 thn.. not sure) merokok tak hengat.. siap dia cerita anak dia akan berenti at 25 yrs old.. Demit la doc ni.. ktorang nak jumpe dia sbb nak consult utk prob kitorang,, dia pegi cite prob dia plak and mintak solution.. kang aku mintak charge kang tak pasal.. pastu borak2.. ktorang layan kan je la.. Maybe (to think positive la kan) dia cuba bermesra ngan ktorang supaya ktorang selesa ngan dia.. but i think it was way toooo much coz eventually, it made us feel very uncomfortable.

The next statement made by Dr.F,  it was unethical for her to ask me to do the check up if i was married less than 2 years. If the patient still want to proceed, than only the doctor will proceed with the check up. This is also important because this process will cost u a lot of money. My personal opinion (not to disrespect the doctors around the world) i think that is personal preference. I believe early detection is better than late detection. kalau ada sakit, baik cari punca awal2 so that tak la buang masa 2 thn. Yes, Allah tu Maha Berkuasa. Sedangkan Mariam yg tak bersuami pon boleh lahirkan Nabi Isa, inikan pulak kita yg dah berkawen. Tapi Allah kata kita kena berusaha. So check up awal adalah salah satu usaha yg me and my hubby buat utk dpt baby. 

The first day tu, ada beberapa benda yg Dr. F buat:
1) check tiroid - Ok. Pass. no tiroid found
2) ultrasound rahim - OK. Pass. takde bende pelik.
3) pap-smear - Result tunggu 2nd appt.
4) semen analysis (SA) utk hubby - buat kat external lab area bangi gak. Result tunggu 2nd appt.
5) timbang berat - which i felt very uncomfortable because timbang berat nearby org yg tgh duduk tunggu turn... obviously dorang bley nmpk atau dgr (kalau nurse tu sebut kuat2)
6) blood pressure - ok
7) check breast - Ok. kalau ada susu, tak boleh mengandung. 

Advise yg Dr.F bagi:
1) Kuruskan badan (Dr.F kata for my age 29, i was overweight. Ideal condition to get pregnant is to loosen up that fatty on my body. This i agree although ada je org yg overweight pregnant)
2) Hubby stop smoking (which he did already)

For all the above, we paid RM 200++.... and now we realize, it's not quite worth the money.. ..
