Stomach & chest pain

Called Dr Wong’s clinic, spoke to the nurse on my symptom, after they checked with doctor, doctor said if I really feel uncomfortable, its ok to stop.

So I stop for a few days, and started back with quarter of tablet after meal, gradually increase to half a tablet after meal every day, each day I take maximum of 1 tablet, as of today 19 April 2014.

Next visit:  Mid cycle to start endometriosis scratch  


14 March 2014
Day 10, scanned, only 3.5mm,  normal 8-9mm
The scratch as done as his consultancy room, on the spot, first something was insert into vaginal, he used something to knock inside, same like Embryo transfer, just a bit uncomfortable, after that a few blood stain which is normal.
The objective of endometriosis scratch is to stimulate and activate the fertility organ, in our first visit, he explained that just like a mango tree which never fruit before, but when you scratch its truck, the mango tree will start to fruit, natural survival skills.
He said looking at my pattern, my previous implantation failure could be due to thin lining, initially he plans to order special progylynova which can stick to my body for better absorption, but he said they have check, it is not available in Malaysia.
I asked what can I eat to increase the lining, he said ‘Glyline’  & Co-enzymes Q10 ( already taken with Fish oil ).
I realised Protein is important to thicken lining & increase implantation, as Glyline & L-Argnine are both protein.


19 March 2014
I tried find from pharmacy but could not find any Glyline, called doctor office again and doctor advised to change to L-Arginine 500 through nurse.
Side effects: Urine with strong amino acid smell  & my skin started to get a bit itchy, hence I stop for a while.
