yeah.. i am currently with gynae and doing tcm.. so if nex yr april.. we would be exploring this option for 1 year..
actually ivf is not as ex... if u get it done at kkh.. the actual costs is about 10k for each cycle.. the govt subsidises 3k for 3 cycles. for hte 1st 3 cycles, you can use medisave:
1st cycle: 6k
2nd cycle: 5k
3rd cycle: 4k
so effectively for 1st cycle ur cash outflow is about 1k.. and so on
yeah.. i noe its not guaranteed.. but the chances r high.. under 30, the success rate in kkh is 50%. after 30 is 40% and it jus falls exponentially..
of cause if you do it at private, the success rate is higher, as they are more renowned gynaes around. but it comes with a higher costs as well, and no govt subsidies, and hte amount u can use from medisave is lesser by 1k per cycle.
(i'm sorry if any of you find this quite disturbing.. i'm not trying to promote ivf.. jus sharing..)
