from what I have read so far, tps provide a one stop service for customers. tt's y their charges abit higher compared to clinic. just like pte gynae have the scanner in the room ;)

at this while, I've been seeing dr lau at clinic D at private rate. My first scan also at amc then go bk clinic d to see dr lau. So clinic d is not private arh?

clinic A, B and D will have private patients. Only clinic C is subsidised clinic. Usually those who are referred by polyclinic to treat infertility will be directed to clinic D first b4 gg ivf center. cos the reproductive department drs are at clinic D. But once pregnant, only the first consultation will be at clinic D after which will be transferred to clinic C if continue to be sub patient.

I think after 1st scan, dr lau will transfer you to tps... can check with him on that day...

actually I had a gf who was previously under dr lau as private like sumiko83 since the beginning and she continued to see dr lau at clinic D till her full term last year. maybe can ask dr lau if there is any diff in charges if at clinic D or TPS. If no diff, go tps better since no need to go amc scan then see dr at clinic.

My appt is 10am :) not sure if see MO or dr jerry. So far I have not had a consultation with dr jerry b4. Only seen him during er & et. That's y discussed with dh & decided to stay as sub patient. Plus the cost really differs alot.
Have to go amc an hr b4 to scan first ;)

I also did tot of saving the $ and be sub.. but seeing different docs, i'm afraid if i will get different advise and opinions from them... i just want to have an ease of mind and stick to just one doc that i can trust his professional.

Yap I fully understand. If I was under Dr lau from the start, I wld have done the same too. Actually when I was xfer to ivf center, I did consider switching to dr lau but was told tt I wld have to see him as a private patient and will delay starting my program. Dh said we shld give dr jerry a chance tho we nv met him b4 but at least he follow our case. That's y we proceed.
With my current experience to date, as i have been seeing different drs all this while so seem like it's fate to just stay under sub. But definitely grateful to dr jerry too for giving me the beanies :) He gave us a very good impression during ET. Very soft spoken dr with good bedside manners.
 
Cheerywalnut im seein dr lau at 9 plus. See u there.
Since u are comfortable with dr jerry then stay put with him.
 
Dr Lau asked me to go amc scan first.

I think i read from other thread and they said amc machine is better?

Maybe must wait till bb bigger then tps machine can scan better?

Very strange hor cos by right tps shld have equally good facilities as amc :D

The ohss ordeal is still haunting me. Really hate it. Couldn't sleep well at home. Whenever I get up from bed, I would cough few times, seems like to ease the discomfort in the chest. Today is 6th day. Hope tmr will get better.

Sumiko83, I can fully understand what u are going through. It was really torturing. I suffered the same coughing too. One hand had to press on chest, the other on the bed to push myself up from bed. Whole body felt very discomfort and back ache. Today is my 11th day and the bloatness went down tremendously now left abt 20% at my tummy area. Haven weigh myself yet but body shape close to before.
Continue to drink more isotonic drinks and water.
Because outshining drink contains sodium tt can transfer fluid back into our blood and preventing it from leaking into to abdominal cavity.
Jiayou! It will be over very soon. Fighting!

Are u still taking the medication given by o&g? I only took once.
Give yourself sometime to fully recover first before going back to work. Don't worry too much abt sch now. You will feel even worse to go back sch in this state. I understand u feel bad tt u are unable to be there for the kids. The kids will want u to recover well too before going back to teach them. A good friend also a KP told me no one is indispensable in school. Trust me the school will still operate as per normal. The main focus now is u and bb. Work is secondary.

Nope, I only took the gastric med twice. It doesn't help anyway. It's not the gastric problem at all.
Yes I know that. No one is indispensable in school. But just hope tt I can go back to my routine.
I can't even sleep well at night, how to recover fast.. :(

Maybe try to take more naps during the day. For me I lie on the bed most of the time with my small tv (hp) lol... sometimes just doze off on & off.. wake up drink gatorade became my daily routine. I felt better to lie abt 60° elevated using pillows to support my back and bolster support my legs.
What is ur sleeping style now? Lie flat or semi sitting position?

Anything that u like to do but haven got the chance while in school? Or divert ur attention to think of innovative ways for ur upcoming lesson observation? :D search for interesting teaching tools or think of games tt can engage the students for tt particular topic? :)

I can lie flat last night without much discomfort. Just that when I get up, I would cough. Now even need to sit down on a stool to shower. Haha.. not enough loose clothing to wear. Even undergarment seems too tight. Hubby still made fun of me, says everything up size alrd.
