Blood group can affect fertility, study reveals.

Something u might want to know, sbb aku suddenly terfikir, what if my blood type and husband's blood type mmg tak ngam? Not sure kalau ia berkaitan dgn kesukaran nak mengandung. then aku saje google, lain yg aku jumpe, which, will be an answer why is it so difficult for me to get pregnant. Sila baca, mane tau anda pon sama.

ape2 pon, semua ini adalah Kuasa Allah swt.

A woman's blood type could affect her fertility and influence her chances of getting pregnant, scientists have found.

A woman's blood group could influence her chances of getting pregnant, scientists have found.

Those with blood type O may struggle to conceive due to a lower egg count and poorer egg quality, while those with blood group A seem to be more fertile.

More than 560 women with an average age of 35 undergoing fertility treatment took part in the research, led by experts from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York and Yale University.

Blood samples were taken to measure levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), a known marker of fertility.

FSH levels greater than 10 suggest a woman will have more difficulty conceiving than those whose levels are under 10.

A high FSH level indicates a diminished ovarian reserve, which refers to both egg quality and the number of eggs left available for fertilisation.

Ovarian reserve tends to decline significantly as a woman reaches her middle and late 30s and faster in the early 40s.

The study found that women who were blood type O were twice as likely to have an FSH level greater than 10 as those in any other blood group. The findings held true even when a woman's age was taken into account and the fact the women came from two different clinics.

Meanwhile, those with blood group A were "significantly less likely" to have an FSH level greater than 10 than those who were blood group O.

Some 44% of the UK population are blood group O and 42% are type A.

People with blood group A carry the A antigen, which is a protein on the surface of the cell, but this is absent in people with O type.

Dr Edward Nejat, from the department of obstetrics and gynaecology at Albert Einstein College, is presenting his findings at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) conference in Denver.

He said: "In both groups of women that were seeking fertility treatment, those with blood type O were twice as likely to have an FSH level over 10 than those with blood types other than O.

"We found that women with A and AB – women with the A blood group gene – were protected from this effect of diminished ovarian reserve.

"From the population we studied, and the fact it was two different centres and there was a good mix of patients ethnically and racially, we can say that blood type O was associated with an FSH level greater than 10 in women seeking infertility evaluation and/or treatment.

"Patients with blood type O seeking infertility evaluation at these centres have a higher likelihood to be diagnosed with elevated FSH and hence manifest diminished ovarian reserve."

Nejat said FSH levels were just one marker of fertility and more studies were needed."A woman's age remains the most important factor in determining her success of conceiving.

"The baseline FSH gives us an idea of the quality and quantity of a woman's eggs."

Tony Rutherford, chair of the British Fertility Society, said: "This is the first time that I'm aware of that researchers have shown a link between blood group and potential for fertility."

However, he said there were other hormones that predicted diminished ovarian reserve which were also important to assess.

"This is interesting and it shows a potential link but we really need to look at it with these other, more up to date tests of ovarian reserve."

Rutherford said a bigger study would need to be carried out in the general population to see if blood group caused potential problems for all women trying to conceive.

"We need to look at a prospective group of women to see if blood group affects your chance of getting pregnant," he said. "This needs further exploration."

The Long Story

aku curik masa sket utk citer ape sudah jadi lepas pegi klinik aritu and kenape aku dah palang klinik umra itu.

aku cite dgn cpt je la eh. sbb aku byk keje dan aku sempat curik mase skejap je nih.

lepas aku dpt injection on 25th nov tu, esoknye aku kene gi cameron.kan.balik drp cameron tu spt biase la aku dpt rase cramps n such kat abdomen aku. which aku hope is a good thing. 2 DEC kene dtg klinik blk. aku mase tu doa2 la biar doc lain yg attend aku tetapi mengape mesti dr ummul gak yg ada mase tuh!

aku masok2 tu die tanye

doc: puan ade buat pregnancy test sendiri tak lepas lastweek tu?
aku: takde.
doc: ok mcm tu u baring dulu. (aik? ingatkan nak teros suroh urine)

ok fine aku baring. die pon scan2

doc: ok rahim u nampak mcm mengandung. tapi takde sarung lagi sbb baru awal2 kan. ok takpe kite inject lagi skali.
aku: inject ape doc?
doc: inject proluton, utk kuatkan lagi rahim u.
aku: mcm mana doc tau rahim saya mcm mengandung?
doc: ok mcm mana i tau, kite tgk sini (then die circle kat screen tu, kat mana rahim aku dok)
doc: nampak tak? takde blood clots or air or watever kat luar n dalam which is good. ok i inject dulu ya.

die pon inject aku kat bontot. lepastu die ckp

doc: memandangkan u takbuat pregnancy test sendri, utk puaskan hati i kite buat kat sini ya utk double confirm.

hati aku dah taksedap. sbb aku tau mesti negatif. so die soh aku keluar n gi kencing.

lepas aku bg urine sample aku aku tunggu jap, then taklama tu die panggil. hati aku dah mmg sgt taksedap n aku gitau diri aku sendri, IT WILL BE NEGATIVE. IM NOT PREGNANT.

aku masok2 je tgk muke dr ummul dah lain. then die ckp

doc: Puan........haritu saya check ur hpt tu mmg positive. ia samar sbb u baru je miss period 1 2 hari..tapi skarang dkt i punye pregnancy test ni negative la puan. samar pon takde. *(dan die tunjok aku pregnancy test yg gune kertas litmus kecik tu negatif)

aku leh terima. tapi die teros ckp

doc: jadi disebabkan ini i rasa puan keguguran lagi. u tak bleeding sbb i dah inject u dgn bg ubat duphaston utk tahan darah. thats why u tak bleeding. tapi dont worry, lagi 2 minggu u akan period. im so sorry puan.

OH begitu.

aku takkesah aku takkesah sgt aku tak pregnant. aku takpakse pon doc kate aku pregnant.

tapi korang nampak tak CARA DIA TU?

so yg ko dah inject aku mase belom kompem tu kenape?????? lepas tu aku kene bayar! 100++ utk injection yg FOR NOTHING? last 25th nov pon dlm 168 kena.

bayangkan, bdn aku tidak mengandung. tapi die bg ubat utk protect pregnancy whereas im not pregnant. jadi body system aku tentu lah kelamkabot kan?

aku keluar drp klinik tu dgn panas ati/laki aku tanye kenape aku taknak ckp ape2. tapi die dah tau bukan good news so dia diam je. sbenanye, kalau aku tak pregnant pon die should buat sono (scan drp bwh) utk scan tgk betol ke takde ape2 OR buat blood test utk double kompem betol2. SBB APA? sbb blood test murah je 40engget. baik die caj aku utk injection tu kan!?

never go to that doc again whoever she is. dia adalah sgt tak jujor. kalau ye pon die dah salah, die patotnye apologize for giving me the injection n should NOT CHARGE me. tapi aku dah blk umah baru aku terpikir mcm tu. sbb aku tersentak dgn ayat "puan keguguran lagi" tu.

aku tau doc tu takde anak lagi. so die maybe malas nak layan org yg mcm aku. yg prob same mcm dia. dia gynae pon die sendri takleh solve problem dia. apetah lagi nak solve prob org. so better buat duit KAN!

marah weh.

aku spend 2 weeks of miserableness menunggu period n sambil tu buat gak hpt sendri utk kompem. yg heran nye guardian nye pregnancy test mesti bagi aku faint positive. watson pon bg faint positive. so aku pikir OH maybe bende ni dah mati n die still there so there maybe still some little hcg amount left.

BBT aku maintain tinggi. tapi aku pikir, oh its because of the injection kot. sbb die inject progesterone kat aku. progesterone mmg makes our body temps rise. so lagi skali, aku panas dgn doc tu.

bile dah nak dekat 2weeks after last injection, BBT aku masih tinggi.

15 dec - betol2 2weeks after last injection. BBT still tinggi n no period.

16 Dec - tgk seluar mcm ade spotting sket2. 3 4 dots

17 dec - patot blk tangkak ptg tu. pagi tu perot saket. sgt. senggugot. check kat toilet dah bleeding. OK so this is the period. tapi teringat kisah kakak ofis aku ni, die ingat die period rupenye die pregnant. aku decide utk gi klinik lain ptg tu before blk kampong. aku gi klinik mediviron, panel sirim kat giant putra heights.

aku jumpe doc ni yg sgt bagos, dr fouziah. dia doc biase je. aku cume nak gi kompem aku pregnant ke tak. aku cite kat dia A-Z. she seems to be like a good listener. aku tunjok BBT chart aku kat dia. aku gitau dr ummul inject aku walhal die tak kompem aku pregnant.

Dr fouziah: I am very disappointed la with this doctor. how come die boleh inject u bile die tattau u betol2 pregnant atau tak? dia buat blood test tak kat u?
aku: tak. die u/s je
Dr fouziah: i dont know la tapi sepatutnye a doctor cannot confirm on YOUR pregnancy test. when u came to that doc n show YOUR pregnancy test, its not a valid confirmation. dia patot suroh u urine skali lagi utk komfem. kalau positive BARU die boleh bagi injection. dah la 2 kali pulak tu...so dishonest.

TGKKKKKKKKKKK

semue org mmg akan marahhhhh kalau aku cite ni! dr fouziah suggest aku gi kat kawan dia Dr Fatima Najla. Kelana Jaya Medical Centre. die ckp consultation xmahal. n die sgt bagos. die ckp kalau xcaya leh google n baca forum2 feedback psl dia.

aku blk kampong aritu dgn senggugot yg terok amat, kena ambik gambar, dan disusuli dgn soalan2 yg aku plg benci drp saudara mara aku. kenduri kazen aku besar-besaran buat sampai 3-4ribu jemputan dtg. bayangkan berapa ramai sedara mara aku jumpe dan brape kali aku kene hadapi soalan BILA NAK ADA ANAK or DAH ADA KE BELOM dlm masa setiap 10-30minit dlm satu hari. bertubi2 org tanya aku. aku rase mcm nak mati sgt mase tu. jiwe rage aku mcm hilang teros.

tapi nak buat camna. org mmg semue nak tau dah ada ke belom. effect nye kat aku lah, tekanan.

hari ini hari ke 6 aku period. masa kat kampong aritu aku sembang dgn kakak2 sdare aku dan auntie2 aku yg penah gone through bende ni. masing2 pon 2 3 thn baru dpt anak ade yg 5thn..so aku ini mmg keturunan dpt anak lambat sbenanye. sket sbanyak sembang dgn diorg bole lega kan stress aku.

drfouziah bagi aku 2 choice aritu. aku nak ultrasound ke atau aku nak urine. sbb kalau pon aku pregnant, scan mmg takkan nampak ape2 die kate. so baik urine. takyah die caj for dua2.

ha bagos kalau honest mcm tu. then aku gi urine. lepas bagi sample die titik urine aku dpn mate aku dkt pregnancy test yg mcm cassete tu. dpn mata aku die suroh tgk bende tu berjalan.

n negative. so die ckp "see, its clearly negative n ur not pregnant n bukan gugor. i think u just having a normal menses. tapi maybe la mule2 tu dah jadi then die doesnt meant to be. so takpe, DONT burden urself, let the period be. lepasni try again n pegi jumpe dr fatima najla, she'll tell u what to do"

aku google isnin aritu. mmg betol ramai org bagi good feedback about her. die slalu encourage semue org utk branak normal drp c-sect. unless betol2 emergency. maksudnye, die bukan semata nak duit sahaja. ok jadi aku nak try doc ni. aku dah call assistant dia, minggu ni dia cuti lak. next week baru leh apoinment. wish me luck :)

BBT aku harini turun sket.



aku nak try benda baru lak pasni. nnt aku cite.
