    Hi Veraine, actually there will be differences in cost between Govt and private clinics as the same drugs will have a mark up at private and procedures egg retrieval and transfer the op theatre fees and doc’s fees also higher so I would say if NUH or kk a fresh cycle costs between 10-12k, it...

    If finances allow, go private since u have no more Govt subsidy anyway but still can use the $4k fr Medisave. U may be able to get higher yield and some embryos left to freeze. Good luck!!

    What did your doc advise? It may not affect the cycle as the uterus is the one that needs to be cleared of fibroids or cysts so as not to affect implantation chances. Unless ovarian egg production function is affected? I have a friend with cyst in one ovary too..thk 3 or5cm. Her Private gynae...

    Yes stay positive, nothing is final yet, a Friend of mine bled all the way till week 10 and baby still born healthy. Her embryo implanted on blood vessel, she was on bedrest except for visits to hospital and walked really slowly. She said she meditated and prayed hard daily.

    Start 5 days before transfer, continue through 2ww and after bfp. Around week 7-8, Dr will redo the blood tests for anti-thrombin III and protein S, if levels are better than before doc will decide and call a stop to the injections. But usually after week 12 (1st trimester) can stop as placenta...

    Doc also prescribed intrallipids Infusion a few days before embryo transfer and after transfer. I thk this is to suppress the over active immune system fr rejecting the embryo.
