Hi, No matter what it is, you may want to wait longer as you may have ovulated late. I had that for my 2nd pg.. no hb at week 6.. it eventually came week 7 and stopped at week 10. Although I lost her, the doctor waited till it is beyond doubt. It helped that I didn't have to deal with the...

Hello.. hope you will be blessed with good news soon! I ttc for 2 years before going for lap and conceived 13 months after. Took visanne for endo for 3 months after lap. It stopped my periods and allowed the insides to heal properly. Will you be on short term meds like this after your mc? Hope...

I did my cyst removal with Dr Tham Kok Fun at gleneagles. Would recommend him - he's down to earth and caring.

Actually your wait seems short for subsidised! My last appt as a private patient, I was there from 2.45pm to 5.45pm for a 3.15pm appt. 2h wait for doc and another 1h for blood test and payment. I was wondering is it due to appt time. But I was rushing off and only realized I was given a 4.10pm...

I remember that I went twice to draw blood. One was a 16 tube draw, the other was maybe 3 tubes. The results came in a summary report so I can't tell which sample was used for which tests. If different timing is needed, the nurse should inform you. Perhaps what the doc ordered for you need not...

I dont rem it being a standard check for no 1, cos need to use v scan. Doubt the doc will do it unless there's a history. Are you planning to request?

I had it for no1 due to too much constipation. Try not to strain too much if its not smooth. Also drink lots of water, take prune juice and fruits like dragonfruit, kiwi, oranges and apples. These helped me with constipation. The piles from no1 didn't bother me as long as my bowel movement is...

My tcm told me impt to have soups for protein eg soups made with pork ribs, chicken, beef, fish bones, but not herbal soup daily. Herbal based ones take every 2-3 days will do.

Oh you booked the FA scan quite early! The clinic refused to book till I saw the doc for 2nd appt. So my FA scan is on 22 weeks. I waited 2h for that appt tho im a private patient! Wondering if I can prebook future appts. Which high risk doc are you seeing?

I used to have it. At first its due to ovarian blood cysts which I removed. More recently, it is likely due to low progesterone. I was monitoring my bbt and it was on the low side. I typically start spotting from 12dpo. After I told my tcm doc, she adjusted the meds and it went away. So maybe...

There are a few items. The main blood test is 3.7k, there are some additionals like amh etc which is extra charge (these usually already done in fertility check if you have done one), plus 1st consultation $250. And sperm test another $2-300. I rem all in is $5k after gst. Oh, i managed to skip...

My nose is still sensitive at 18w and I get headaches from strong smells! Used to think once I hit 2nd tri at 14w, all will be well but... its not the case for everyone.

Yup for him its either do all or nothing. I requested not to do karotyping as I have a healthy #1 with a normal uneventful pg, as well as some tests my prev gynae already did. But he rejected explaining that he needs all the info and the tests are a package price. In fact, we actually waited...

I spent 5k+ just on investigations, and another 5k for 1st tri till 15w when I switched docs. To me, it is too expensive so looking back I would have gone direct to nuh as private patient. Subsidised may still be too long a wait for me as age is catching up.

I cant stand the taste of milk during pg so I take v little. Powdered milk is very sweet and comes in vanilla / chocolate flavour. You can get samples from gyane clinic or requesting them from their websites. Most major brands give samples, same for infant formula.
