Hi @ateo2290 , I aso currently in july ivf cycleHi, I am currently in the Jul cycle of IVF and am taking her gonal-f jabs. I am having cold and cough and my GP is not confident of prescribing medicine cos I am on IVF. Does anyone know if I can take any off-the-shelf medicine (like panadol cold, woods cough mixture)?
@sephy20... Yes. U can drink red dates with goji berries. In fact, some ladies on the other ivf thread drink it daily. Can add some longan if you don't find it too heaty. Chicken essence can drink too but buy those without Chinese herb. You may want to try Eu Yan Sang chicken essence with red dates & goji berries. Personally, I think it taste much better than brands'. Some ladies make their own chicken essence. U may try it too!Can i ask.. are we allowed to drink- Red dates, Goji Berries, Chicken Essence during the 2ww? my body type is cold.. i was thinking what can i drink beside plain water to warm my womb without affecting my 2 embryos..
Thank u Mrs Chan 00!@sephy20... Yes. U can drink red dates with goji berries. In fact, some ladies on the other ivf thread drink it daily. Can add some longan if you don't find it too heaty.

Hi.. Anyone already went for the ivf briefing at kkh? Can I know how u guys make the payment?
May i know how much is it?Payment by cash or NETS
Oic.. Ya this is my 1st cycle.. Very nervous.. My hubby will be helping me with the jabs. However, he has a business trip for 3 days which I have to do it on my own.@shirleyadele i dare not poke myself. Gotten my hubby to jab for me Is this your first cycle?

IVF counselling is not medisave deducted n not covered by the grant..so have to pay@bbdust81 Heard from a friend, on the briefing day itself, there's no need to pay anything as everything is in the package.. Is it true?
I just check the bill, total is $323 (before GST). Breakdown is :-
Registration & counselling by nurse - $113
Counselling, consultation & consent, ART - $210
I think only KK charge this session, it seems SGH and NUH don't charge for counselling session
@bbdust81 Exactly.. I don't understand why is it KKH charge for this briefing & counseling..
I see... its ok only 3days jiayou.. i wanted to jab myself but i dont have the courage. HahaOic.. Ya this is my 1st cycle.. Very nervous.. My hubby will be helping me with the jabs. However, he has a business trip for 3 days which I have to do it on my own.
Haha I hope I can do it.. So how are you feeling after a week of jabs?? Any abdomen pain or swelling??I see... its ok only 3days jiayou.. i wanted to jab myself but i dont have the courage. Haha
Hi @Faith05 I will be doing mine at SGH.. the nurse told me to call them on Monday morning if menses come on weekend & be on standby to go clinic for scan & collect the jabs on the same day. Not too sure if kkh is the same though..Hello everyone,
It's my first time posting here and I'm starting my first ivf cycle with KKH. As advised, we are supposed to call up the clinic on 1st day of menses, but mine just came today, Sat (full flow). Since the hotline is not available on Sun, the only time I can make an appointment is on Mon, meaning I would only go for my 1st scan on Tues, the 4th day of my menses. Would that be too late? Has anyone turned up at the clinic for their 1st scan without appointment, especially since your menses came during the weekend?
Appreciate any advice or input.. Thank you so much in advance!
If your menses came on sat afternoon, Sunday is counted as day 1. But yes likely you will be asked to go on tue. I started on Friday afternoon, they scheduled for me on mon, so technically also day 3. No issue.Hello everyone,
