It Must Have Been Fate

First thing to do when you are TTC is finding the right doctor.

Since I am here in Dubai and I do not have that much connection in the medical world back home, I asked my mom and sister to look around for a good fertility doctor in Bulacan.

I specifically told them to find me a doctor who is friendly and at the same time knows her field very well. I do not want doctors who interact with their patients rudely and do not take time knowing their patients. I want quality time with every visit to her clinic as I have so many questions in my mind.

And so the search goes on.... And since I have only limited time and resources, I settled for a fertility doctor in my home province. I want to spare myself and DH of the exhaustion of travelling to and fro Metro Manila and queuing for long hours in clinics that also charged double or sometimes triple the price of the same quality of treatment I can get in Bulacan.

I told myself I will just reserve the time, energy and money of going to these high-end hospitals if it did not go well here in Bulacan. So we decided to try our luck first in the province.

But in Malolos only, there are already a lot of obgyne/fertility doctors and my mom just told me to visit this clinic that her friend told her. There were 2 fertility doctors sharing the same clinic and we did not know at that time to whom should I set an appointment with. She was just told that the doctor there is good and got intensive training also in Taiwan recently.But we do not know who that doctor is.

So on November 3,2012, my mom and I decided to just visit this clinic. My DH's cousin also referred me to this clinic as she also had her first baby thru them. She referred me to Dra. Bongga. When I called their clinic, Dra. Bongga will be back only 2 days after and that another doctor is on duty during that day.

As my mother was very persistent for me to get treatment right away, she dragged me that afternoon to the clinic and there we met Dra. Tecson. At first, Dra. Tecson did not want to accept me thinking that I was referred to Dra. Bongga. But when my mother told her that we were referred to the doctor who just came back from Taiwan, we were right on the schedule as it was Dra. Tecson.

I hope that this fateful meeting between us and Dra. Tecson will be a fruitful one! Waiting for February 2013 to come!
