Proluton & Duphaston

ini definition injection & ubat yg doc bagi arituh:

Proluton

proluton is a hydroxy progesterone hormone which is usually secreted by placenta continuously throughout the duration of pregnancy and needs for maintainance of pregnancy for the following reasons:

  • Makes the endometrium develop and secrete fluids after being primed by estrogen

  • Maintains the functions of the placenta and fights off unwanted cells near the womb that could cause damage to the placenta or foetus.

  • Keeps the endometrium in a thickened condition

  • Stops the uterus making spontaneous movements

  • Stimulates the growth of breast tissue

  • Prevents lactation until after the birth (with estrogen)

  • Strengthens the mucus plug covering the cervix to prevent infection.

  • Strengthens the pelvic walls in preparation for labour.

  • Stops the uterus from contracting (thus keeping the baby where it is)


Duphaston

How does it work?
Dydrogesterone is a synthetic hormone similar to the naturallyoccurring sex hormone, progesterone. It is used in a wide range ofmenstrual disorders that are thought to result from a lack ofprogesterone in the body.
In women, progesterone is responsible for the development of ahealthy womb lining (endometrium) that is necessary for pregnancy.The body produces progesterone at certain times of the menstrualcycle, causing the womb lining to flourish. If a fertilized egg doesnot attach to the womb lining by the end of the monthly menstrualcycle, the levels of progesterone in the body decrease. This causesthe body to shed the womb lining (a menstrual `period'). If afertilized egg successfully attaches to the womb lining by the endof the monthly cycle, progesterone levels in the body remain high.This helps maintain a healthy womb lining for the ongoing pregnancy.
As dydrogesterone helps regulate the healthy growth and normalshedding of the womb lining, it may be used in the treatment ofmenstrual disorders such as absent, irregular or painful menstrualperiods, infertility, premenstrual syndrome and endometriosis. Itmay also be used to minimise the overgrowth of the womb lining dueto oestrogen (the main female sex hormone) in hormone replacementtherapy (HRT) following menopause. By maintaining the womb lining,dydrogesterone is also useful in helping prevent miscarriage(spontaneous abortion) in women who have suffered repeatedmiscarriages or who may miscarry.
Dydrogesterone is usually taken on selected days during themenstrual cycle, depending upon the disorder that is being treated.

What is it used for?

  • Abdominal pain and bleeding during preganancy (threatenedmiscarriage) or history of miscarriages (habitual abortion)

  • Abdominal pain associated with menstrual periods (dysmenorrhoea)

  • Absence of menstrual periods when taking oestrogens

  • Endometriosis

  • Female infertility

  • Irregular menstrual bleeding when taking oestrogens

  • Irregular menstrual cycles

  • Premenstrual syndrome

  • Preventing overgrowth of the womb lining due to oestrogen in hormonereplacement therapy (HRT)

PENAT

baru balik drp cameron highlands ni, cuti2 malaysia bersama rakan2 11 org. balik2 opis teros keje bertimbun2 atas meja. so aku tensen dan tak byk mase sgt nak updet.

nak updet satu je: alhamdulillah, on 24th Nov aritu aku dpt faint positive. last period aku 25th Oct, suppose minggu ni period la. tapi sebab tak dtg, aku yg sgt gatal every month mesti nak check hpt, check jugak mlm 24th tu. pikir 18kali nak gi kompem dgn doc ke tak tapi sebab dr karamjeet kate mesti dtg lepas dpt positive, takkesah la samar ke tak.

dr ummul: hi puann, nak komfem ye?

aku: bukan nak kompem, nak tanye ini ade line ke takde line. takot mate i kero.

dr ummul: EH samar! yes its positive! cepat2 baring!

aku gitau dia last period 25th oct, so die ckp masih baru sgt psl tu aa samar. OK aku masih dlm keadaan tak pecaye pon sbenanye. aku biar je die scan. mmg la xnampak kalau baru kan. astu die kate "u aritu pon mcm ni kan??"

"ye la dr karamjeet kata lepasni kalau samar lagi teros dtg ambik injection"

"ak ah mmg i nak inject u pon nnt i bagi duphaston, ubat utk makan setiap ari, sehari 3 bijik utk kuatkan kandungan u k"

Ok. ape2 je la doc.

die inject kat bontot lagi. aku tanye ni ape dia namenye?

" Ooo ini Proluton"

kalau ade pro pro depan tu aku agak mesti ade progesterone lah tu. utk bagi sustain.

laki aku tak ikot masok jumpe doc. die tunggu luar.

aku keluar je die tanye "camne?"

aku senyum and ckp "doc kate positive. :) dah inject kasi kuatkan rahim"

"camne doc tau positive?"

"doc tgk testkit yg org tunjok tu laa"

"oo.yeke"

kering jek muke die. nak buat stret face lak kat aku =)) aku rase die pon taknak konpiden sgt. aku sendri pon cam takbrape nak konpiden selagi belom ada heart beat.

ape yg buat aku agak pecaye sket, aku nye BBT temperature maintain high. tapi kdg2 mcm terpikir lak, die naik tinggi sebab aku pregnant ke atau sbb aku baru kene inject..isk fobia weh aku..aku skang berserah jek..kalau ada alhamdulillah. kalau takde, kene la cuba lagi.

dr ummul mintak dtg balik kamis ni utk double kompem. aku bersedia drp skang utk kecewa dulu. taknak over excited ke apa.

Was it B12?

Kalau google B12 and fertility, or B12 for women.byk gile sumber article yg kuar. bacelahh. aritu aku dok wat kajian sendiri, ape yg ada kat biodex sampai org yg penah wat IUI berkali2 and IVF and bertahon2 tak conceive tibe2 ambik biodex dia conceive.

mcm kate satu akak ni yg dah 15tahon xpenah pregnant, die dijempot bagi testimonial live dpn2 kitorg mase aku gi seminar aritu. akak tu kate

"saye ni dah buat IUI 4 kali, IVF 2 kali, duit dah byk ribu habis. nak kate saye ni kaye tu tidak ler, tapi ade la duit, heheh" sambil buat lawak la.

astu die kate lagi "sampai la ade satu kawan ni introduce kat saye biodex ni, mmg saye takpecaye lansong! saye dah lalui mcm2 treatment yg mencecah puloh ribu, takkan produk yg semurah ni boleh buat saya pregnant, ahh, takcaye ah"

tapi die ckp sambil2 die tu try jugak la. suami die pon try.

then bile die tak period, die wat tattau jek. bile dah lame xperiod die mule pelik n gi check kat doctor. bile test tgk positive! tp die leh kate "gile ke doctor ni? aku dah 15tahon tak mengandung, tibe2 ckp mengandung. penipu tol"

semua org gelak mase die citer tu. astu die gitau laki die, laki dia pon takcaya n ckp bende yg same. (camtu skali kan bile dah lame sgt, sampai dah tawar ati nak taroh harapan)

jakgi die pegi scan, mmg ade janin! teros akak tu diam n jerit2 la kat dpn doctor tu. tapi masih laki die takcaya sampai la bile akak tu ulang2 gi checkup kat spital sambil bwk buku merah eh yg kene bwk mase gi gomen spital tu? mase tu teros laki die caya. nak dijadikan rezeki ek kate org.

so bile aku dok research psl kandungan biodex ni, one of the most important product dlm tu yg dr siti murni tu soh ambik n jgn tinggalkan is 'supreme diet'. aku pon suke minum mende tu, sedap. astu mmg kandungan dlm dia ada acid folic la B vitamins semua. aku terlepas pandang brape 'jumlah' kandungan each of nutrition tu. die asik la ckp jgn stop minum. dah pregnant pon minummm je.

aku rasa sbb B vitamins yg die letak dlm tu. semue B vitamins yg diperlukan utk TTC ada dlm tu. kenape die soh jgn stop? sbb die letak SIKIT SGT. semua zero point something2 je of mcg. walhal yg diperlukan each of B vitamins tu according to yg aku bace, semua mesti lebeh drp 10 mg (10 mg = 10,000mcg). dlm tu die leh 0.55mcg, 0.83mcg..giLE SIKIT WEH. padan aa kene beliiiii je. biase la org jual product. im not saying yg product tu salah or tipu, die mmg leh buat org berjaya,.tapi maybe tu die nye strategi aa to make people keep on buying product dia. like folic acid tu, minimum amount yg diperlukan utk org2 yg nak pregnant is 400mcg. sedangkan gynae aku sendri prescribe aku dgn 4-5mg of folic acid mase treatment aritu. (4000-5000mcg)

dlm supreme diet tu ada 1.67mcg jek weh. maknenye 0.00167mg. sedih aku. yg aku marahnye sbb bende tu mahal. RM90+ walhal kat guardian ke watson ke ko leh cari B COMPLEX or EXECUTIVE B yg hargenye taksampai 40 engget pon satu botol yg ada 30tablet. sama gak supreme diet tu ada 20 sachet je.

ok fine. so aku telah membuat keputusan utk tak beli supreme diet tu. aku cume beli NoniChewable Table je. aku makan bende tu aa aritu aku period sendri. die ade mengkudu/buah noni nye ekstrak+anggur. tu je. takde campuran lain. kan buahnoni tu byk khasiat gak kan. astu aku tambah susu kambing biodex tu. utk hormones, aku beli DCL bidadari tu balik utk kekuatan rahim.

aku bace lagi psl B12 info. ade org yg gagal IVF berkali2 dan tattau apa sebabnye. bile bagi B12 shots, teros pregnant dgn sendiri. ade article lak yg kate kdg2 infertility specialist pon penah terMISS benda ni.

yela sbb B12 je kan murah je leh beli sendri. drugs2 tu lagi mahal. so mane yg lebih buat duit?

kdg2 aku wonder mcm tu gak. sbenanye doctor2 die tau ape yg leh solve prob kite tapi die more concentrate on medication/treatment yg lagi mahal (dan tak necessary pon kdg2)

kan? penah ke terpikir mcm tu? mcm klinik umra yg aku gi tu, teros2 nak suggest aku wat IUI. gaye mcm dah takde harapan utk get pregnant naturally dgn supplement/medications lagi. mcm drugs tu aku tau la kenape die tak suggest dah sbb takot effect lain. padahal kalau proceed to IUI pon, still gak kene ambik femara n hcg trigger tu, same je?

bile aku satu hari ni dok baca psl b12 (bos aku cuti so aku takde keje :P) B12 tu penting gila kot. B12 yg leh bantu regulate hormon, yg leh bantu ovulation works properly, yg balance menstruation semua tu. yg bantu embryo lekat dgn betol, bantu peredaran darah ke janin berjalan lancar,semue2lah! utk laki lak die bagi increase sperm motility semua.

aku pon tattau adekah aku lack of B12 ke tak. sumber2 b12 ni byk kat ikan, daging n dairy product. semua ni aku mkn jek. tapi tattau la cukup ke tak or adekah usus aku absorb b12 dgn sempurna? aku ada bace lagi, usus kite memerlukan protein dan acid yg cukop utk release & absorb B12. kalau usus kite kurang acid yg diperlukan, B12 takleh absorb. acid ape aku tattau la. tah camtu laa yg aku paham!

How Vitamin B12 Affects Fertility Rates

“Doctors have reported successful pregnancies in once-infertile women following therapy for B12 deficiency,” write Pacholok and Stuart in Could it be B12? “Yet often, sadly, this deficiency is overlooked even by infertility specialists until women have undergone months or even years of unsuccessful treatment. As a result, many couples spend thousands of dollars and suffer disappointment after disappointment, when treatment with B1 injections might have solved their problem.”

These authors say researchers don’t know exactly why a vitamin B12 deficiency makes it difficult to get pregnant and carry the baby to term. The deficiency could interfere with ovulation or normal cell division – and even affect how the fertilized ovum is implanted in the uterine lining.

Whatever the exact link is between vitamin B12 deficiency and female or male infertility, these authors say that a B12 test may improve the chances of getting pregnant naturally.
