Hi Lynelyn,
Not sure if this will help with your decision making, but in terms of timeframe for your leave planning, you might want to check with your doctor what his policy is towards multiple IVF cycles. For my KKH doctor, I had to take a two-month break between (fresh) cycles. Whereas for IUI/SO-IUI, you might be able to try in consecutive months. In the end, I conceived using 'natural' IVF (I gather it's not often done in Singapore, but you can Google it) which allows for IVF in consecutive months. Take care!
No harm giving SOIUI a try because through iui dr more or less know your respond towards stimulation drug n even if fail they can adjust the dosage accordingly for your ivf cycle.
Yes success is lower for iui however this do not mean there are no success cases. I have known ladies who strike twins n triplets with iui.
You can use medisave in pte hospital but not govt grant. Anyway be it IUI or ivf please do it with a fertility dr.
Hi Catherine, pm-ed u!Hi lynelyn, how is ur soiui? I hope it is successful. I going through the same stage with you. Taking injections and going for scan next monday at kk hospital. I.have pcos too. TTC for almost two years. Three rounds clomid no success. I also thinking ivf maybe better choice than iui as pcos patient tends to have many follicles. I thinking just one cycle soiui n then ivf. Cos i do not want waste too much time. I am 33. Can share with me how is ur soiui doing so far if you do not mind. Thanks.
