    Private vs KKH private vs subsidized

    You can start off as a subsidized patient so that u can do the necessary tests at a cheaper rate then switch over to private when you’re in your 2nd trimester or beginning 3rd trimester if your pregnancy is mostly uneventful. But if there are complications like risk of preterm labour or low...

    Worrying things I did before I knew I was pregnant

    Don't worry so much! 1. Dental X rays are the lowest in terms of radiation as compared to other X rays (About the amount of radiation you would be exposed to in a 1-2hr flight). Plus they gave you a lead apron to minimise the radiation exposure to your reproductive organs. Given that people...

    Can I still be pregnant?

    Normal GP can do blood test for pregnancy, no point to do urine test at GP since it’s the same as buying from the stores. In the meanwhile, take folic acid, avoid herbal supplements like bai foong wan, alcohol, take care of yourself as if you’re pregnant until u can confirm you’re not. Don’t...

    Can I still be pregnant?

    Polyclinic only have urine test for pregnancy, which is as good as store bought ones. If u go to a GP, and you’re indeed not pregnant, they can give you some hormone pills to start your period. And just to add on to previous poster’s answer, what I know is clearblue digital needs higher...

    Can I still be pregnant?

    Have you taken a pregnancy test using first morning urine (fmu) or is it just a random urine of the day? It would be better to use fmu as the amount of hcg may not be very high in early pregnancy. FMU would be the most concentrated. You may want to go to your GP to do a blood test for...

    Sad 15 years SAHM undergoing marriage issues

    hCG Positive, u/s No foetus found, retroverted uterus

    Usually they will do a blood test to see exactly how high is your hcg. If above 1500, they should see a sac via transvaginal ultrasound. If a sac can’t be seen, they will suspect ectopic pregnancy and probably send u for a more detailed scan. You could be not so far along esp if you don’t have...

    I am week 7 cannot hear heartbeat

    I wasn’t being given a reason for any of my miscarriages. The doctor thinks they are all random events since all my tests came up normal. But from what I read, somehow molar pregnancies happen cos the egg somehow lost the maternal dna so the fetus cannot develop normally. The standard...

    I am week 7 cannot hear heartbeat

    Thanks lady081980, all my recurrent miscarriage panel tests came back normal. Dr did karotyping on me also normal. There was no fetal tissue from my d&c to do genetic testing. He thought my body reabsorbed the fetus but it was a molar pregnancy. Kkh gynae doesn’t think it is necessary for...

    DNA fragmentation

    I had 1 blighted ovum, 1 chemical pregnancy. Currently pregnant but gynae said I may miscarry this one. He suggest my hubby to test for this DNA fragmentation on top of the usual tests they give to recurrent miscarriages. Think my gynae suspects hubby has this DNA fragmentation which is why I...
