Hi ladies,
I'm 36 this year and took a year off work for family planning. To be honest my hubby and I never really tried for a baby as I was always travelling for work.
I did multiple tests last year at NUH (including HSG) which showed all is ok. I also went for TCM treatment with Dr Tan at Clementi but stopped as it was time consuming and I thought it was pointless cos we didn't have much opportunity to try (unfortunately I was always travelling during ovulation period).
I am considering going straight for IVF instead of doing rounds of IUI (a number of my friends failed a few IUI cycles which were emotionally draining before having to go for IVF).
Any ladies skipped IUI and went straight to IVF? Should I just go through IUI first anyway since doctors said there are no issues so far? Also are there any implications with government grants for fertility treatments?
Any personal thoughts, experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
