So. The fabled Dr Handsome.
Let me preface this by saying that it was Dr Y who proclaimed him A Very Handsome Doctor. That got me quite excited, enough to Google for his picture. Whee. And Dr Handsome must be quite photogenic because he did look pretty cute in the photo. Coupled with the fact that he was v nice over the phone and bam! I was sold.
And then we met him for the first time on a stormy Saturday morning at KKH. It was…okay. I mean, I was definitely not expecting the hottest doctor in the world but I was hoping for some form of visual pleasure. While Dr Handsome did turn out to be v v nice, he was also merely pleasant looking. In fact, Mr Thick proclaimed him the typical pleasant looking doctor.
I concur.
And was a tad disappointed.
I should have known better than to trust a man’s taste in men.
Tsk.
And erm, yes, I have broken up with Dr Y and hooked up with Dr Handsome despite the latter’s lack of handsomeness.
As I said to Dr Y, he charges like Chanel and I can only afford Uniqlo. The only logical conclusion: Splitsville. We are still friends, although I think I will miss the days of spamming his phone with my queries. Sobs.
Anyway, it appears that many Singaporeans are finding out that they are also not able to spawn simply by shagging because we have been penciled in for the cycle in…OCTOBER! Holy cow. That’s four frigging months. FOUR! I nearly fell off my chair when the massively pregnant nurse told me the magic month.
That threw a monkey wrench into my Type A, well laid out plans. With the possible changes coming up (shh! can’t talk about them now), I was in a tizzy over how I was going to fit everything in. That’s the thing with this infertility shit – your life starts revolving around jabs and scans and retrievals and transfers. I have a love/hate relationship with cycling (nothing to do with the two-wheeled sort).
Dr Handsome had suggested that we go for the longer agonist protocol which I am cool with, except that it means MORE JABS for a longer period of time, which equals being a Genetically Modified Cow for a longer period of time. I’m also really, really hoping that he can “force” me in for an earlier cycle, we’ll find out again when we see him in July.
And…the biggest revelation of all: I DO NOT HAVE A RETROVERTED UTERUS!
Gawd. You would think that I know my uterus after all these years but NO. During our consult, Dr Handsome asked that I be acquainted with his dildocam (ie. have it stuck up my vajayjay for a look-see) and I casually mentioned that I have a retroverted uterus.
Hmm actually you have an anteverted uterus but that’s okay, he replied.
WHAAAAAAT?!
Either my uterus has been skipping around my insides or…or I don’t know.
Maybe I have a schizophrenic uterus.
Uteruses (uteri?) these days, tsk.

Hi yann! i am new to your blog but have been following closely on your blog especially this topic.
I am actually having a similar problem. Currently seeing a private doctor and was tempted to see one at KKH before this. Is it true that the waiting time is bad at KKH as compared to a private practice?

OMG – I was told on a routine health check a couple of years ago by a gyno that I also have a retroverted uterus and somehow I just assumed that she must be right. Who told you you had a retroverted uterus in the past? Sometimes I do wonder if this would result in more difficulty in getting preggie, but all the google search I did seem to indicate otherwise…

Hi C! Well, at my previous doctor’s (who was in private practice), I usually saw him within 15 minutes of my appointment. At KKH, you have to be patient and the wait can go up to an hour. So yes, comparably, the wait is a lot longer.
ST – Hmm I don’t think the direction of the uterus matters. I think the position can change over the years so who knows?!
