Hi,
So the title says it all! I decided to go to the Fernandez Hospital to take the treatment further ahead. The reason I chose this hospital is because this is the same hospital where most of the family members including my mom, my aunts & my cousins were born & this is the same hospital in Hyderabad that is know to encourage normal deliveries.
I booked an appointment for 10th July 2012, wanted to get an appointment with the Senior Doctor Dr. Shashikala, since she was out-of -station, her junior Dr.Sirisha was handling her cases.
My appointment was for afternoon! Once I reached there, the receptionist gave form to fill all the details & took a fee of approximately Rs.500 INR( Consultation fee(Rs.300)+ Registration fee(Rs.200).
They took a photo with the webcam & issued me an ID card.
Then I was sent to a cabin where the lady noted down my weight & B.P & started asking me all the details like how long have I been married & trying to conceive & other things like family health history etc. After that I was made to wait for some more time & then finally met Dr.Sirisha.
Dr.Sirisha
10th July 2012: 1. She prescribed Primolut-N 5mg twice daily for 5 days & Folvite(Folic Acid) 5mg
for 30 days.
2. She asked me to get these tests done (1) Prolactin (2) OGTT(Oral Glucose
Tolerance test),(3) Insulin.
Test Results: Prolactin-Normal
Insulin little high
OGTT very high levels.
14th July 2012: Dr.Sirisha said since I have high insulin levels & OGTT, I should exercise, have a
balance diet & have tablet Metformin 500mg for 1-2 weeks until I get used to the
tablet.
She asked me to get another test HbA1c done & see the inhouse Endocrinologist
Dr.Raman to take an opinion from him too.
18th July 2012: Getting an appointment is sometimes very difficult, somehow managed to get it for
18th July evening. Dr.Raman asked me to exercise, have a balance diet & said I
could still keep trying to conceive.
21st July 2012: I was told by an intern Dr. Amrutha
(i) To have Clome- 50mg twice a day from Day3 to Day 7( Day1 is when the
periods start) to induce ovulation.
(ii) Day 10th, I should go to the hospital for Follicular Study.
23rd July 2012: Periods started.
25th July 2012: Started Clome-50mg.
1st August 2012: Day 10th. Went for Follicular study. Dr.Hema did the scan & prescribed
(i) Tamoxifen Citerate- 20mg, twice daily for 3 days.
(ii) Ecospirin-75mg once daily after food.
Was asked to come again on 4th August 2012
4th August 2012: Suggested Tamoxifen Citerate- 20mg until 7th August 2012 & asked me come back on 7th August. She said I would need more stimulation, so had to continue the same medicines.
7th August 2012: Doctor scanned & said the follicles are still small & asked to come back on 11th August 2012. Was advised to discontinue using Tamoxifen. When askedabout the reason for the slow progress, she said since I have PCOS the size isn't growing.She said sometimes if given time they may grow.
11th August 2012: Went in the morning & after the scan Dr.Hema asked me to meet Dr.Shashi.
Dr.Shashi said, since I have PCOS, the follicles haven't grown, The follicle size
should be 18-20mm but mine was only 8mm. She prescribed these for my
next cycle.
(i) Metformin-500mg Twice a day with meals.
(ii) Folvite- 5mg daily once.
(iii) T-Duphaston 10mg starting from today,one tablet daily for 10 days.
(iv) Once I get my periods, from Day 2 to Day 6 ,T-Clome 50mg for 5
days(Morning & Night).

(vi) T-Tamox 10mg from Day 7 to Day 9th.
(vii) Day 8th should go for follicular study, if Day 8th turns out to be Sunday
