I heard that Alpha now has many patients and sometimes the appointment with THH is super brief. However, as compared to govt hospitals, they definitely have better technologies and labs. It is important to have a good lab since that’s where your embabies are made.

My cousin in law and her friend use SGH Care under Dr Yu. They are very happy with the services. Both BFP after previous miscarriages not at SGH. KKH to me sounds like mass production and therefore many bad experiences shared. I’ve not heard much about NUH. Whether your blastocyst implant or...

I’m not sure on the procedure of checking for embryo quality in Singapore. However, I’m pretty sure we could do it on frozen embryos in the US because my friend did that after 2 failed pregnancies. The grading the lab gives you on the structure don’t matter at all. The most important thing is to...

Do you mean natural killer cells? I think you shld check on your embryos quality first as 70% of failure to implant is actually due to the embryo quality.

I guess that all depends on why it failed? We decided to skip IUI after the first failure because it was a male factor (< 5 mil motile). Even after venturing into IVF, you may find more problems. It’s probably best to question your doctor more before making a decision.

How high is it? I think the reason is to why find out why it is high and what are the purpose of the injections? I reckon they are not the same drugs?

Can be done on day 3 embryos. Cuz I was sending mine for PGT so they all had to have assisted hatching in order to biopsy the cells for abnormalities.

They always pick the best looking blastocysts. But really, don’t get too focused on grading. I had AA blastocyst that turned out aneuploid (did PGT-A). The grading only tells u abt the inner cell mass and the trophectoderm (helps with the sticking rate). Even if the trophectoderm is a B grade...

Ive not done a medicated cycle before but ever asked my doctor on the difference. It is basically a timed cycle for better control. They use estrogen and progesterone (usually injection) to prime the lining and help it to thicken and be more receptive. Sometimes, they use a HcG injection to...

Did you do a sperm fragmentation assay to confirm it is truly a sperm quality/DNA issue? Cuz normally when you do ICSI, there is another technology where they can select the sperm with all the correct DNA. Moreover, you only need like 1 sperm per egg since you are doing ICSI, 20 eggs = 20...

Does have some of the impt ingredients in it but not the active form that’s easily absorbed. For instance, instead of folic acid, folate is the active form. For CoQ10, Ubiquinol is the active form. It is also missing all the other important B vitamins and selenium. I’m not a doc so I can’t...

Hello @Alisha R . I made my husband quit coke and fast food. He is currently taking a morning essentials multivit + some extras (vit B complex, vit c, vit d and zinc) and the night one (contains selenium) as the male one that’s in tablet form (blue stork men is the #1 brand but he can’t take it)...

Pls check for contradictions with your doctor.

Yeps crunching on the seeds give you fiber too :). It will be tough to find 100% juice with no sugar...

Fruit is fine too.. I actually find the juice pretty difficult to drink.. bitter.
