Congratulations Siddhi and Anne. Wishing you a smooth time ahead.

Chocolate, sorry to hear about your loss. I can understand how tough it is for u right now. You will feel better. Go of a short holiday if u can. It does help somehow.

Chocolate, 79 is slightly low, but I have read lots of cases starting with a low number and being fine, as long as it doubles. Doubling is the mst important thing. Have u seen Dr Zou at Ang mo kio? I read that she has some formula to stop the bleeding, something to do with lotus root. I also...

siddhi, that is really good news. Good luck with your transfer! Rest well!

Chocolate, Glad to hear your hcg is rising nicely. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Emily, If u are ovulating, then I think the choice between ivf and iui depends on your husband's spem quality. If it is just a little weak and not too bad, u van try iui. But if it is poor, then go for ivf. And don't be discouraged by the 10%. If u dont try, then u never know. During one of...

Hi Emily, One more thing I want to tell u. I also have one ovary that is very high. I did 3 ivf at Nuh and Prof never thought it was a big issue so I actually forgot all about it until when I read your post and I thought it sounded familiar. I only remembered it this morning. During my 1st...

Hi Emily, Sorry to hear about your news. Maybe u can try seeing another doctor for a second opinion before deciding what to do? Have u tried dr Loh at Thomson. I hear a lot of good things about him on this forum. He was previously at Kk. Big hugs to u. Also, low chance does not mean no chance!

Siddhi, I know what u mean about not being able to talk much with Dr Zou! What u can do is see if there are other ladies waiting for their turn and ask them to help u translate, if u don't mind of course. Everybody there is on the same boat. Your FET is coming so soon? I thought there was a...

Hi sisters, I am with Dr Zou for acupuncture as well. It seems that a lot of sisters are there. Sometimes during my session, I can hear her chit chat with other patients in mandarin, which I don't understand, but I can hear words like Prof Wong, Dr Loh, eggs, etc. I am so curious to know what...

Thanks sisters

Hi Mel, You don't need to do the DNA fragmentation test to diagnose varicocele. The doctor only needs to feel the man - that is all. And do remember it is fairly common, so even if a man has varicocele, it doesn't automatically mean he has DNA fragmentation. And even if a man has it, not...

Hi Mel and Lavender, The vitamins your DHs are taking are the ones I've seen being recommended from internet sources. So you are already on the right track. For my husband, he's only taken Vit C and E and GNC multivitamin and Chinese medicine so far. I think I'll add some more for him, from...

Hi Mel, I haven't seen much discussion about this in Singapore, so I want to say a bit more about this, in case it is of some use to the sisters who face male fertility issues. Some men have DNA fragmentation in their sperms. It means the sperms' DNA is damaged. If DNA fragmentation is...

Thank you very much, Mel and Su yana, for the encouragement. I am trying to pull myself together. Mel, hopefully we will be cycle buddies! Btw, do any sisters here have experience in dealing with husband's DNA fragmentation? It is my issue.
