Have posted and commented under IVF thread. Was a former IVF patient at NUH under Prof PC Wong, failed 1st IVF in April 2013, told by Prof to consult TCM to condition my womb before 2nd IVF.
2003 : 18cm left ovarian cyst in 2003 removed by Prof KL Yam (KKH)
2004 : Pre-cervical cancer laser removal of cancerous cells by Prof KL Yam (KKH),
June 2012 : Prof KL Yam referred to Dr Sadhana (KKH IVF) after 1yr of non-successful pregnancy attempt. HSG done at KKH found dilated left fallopian tube concluded that it's highly impossible for me to conceive naturally, technically 50% chance per month.
July 2012 : Seeked 2nd opinion with Prof PC Wong in July 2012, PC Wong suggested to remove left fallopian tube since dilated tube accumulates toxic fluid which will kill the sperm upon reaching the left tube or toxic fluid will kill sperm even if right ovary ovulates.
Aug 2012 : Left fallopian tube removed by Dr Foong Yoke Fai (NUH) through 4-hole lap, found left ovary attached to large intestine but impossible to remove it without destroying left ovary. rof
Sep 2012 : PPC Wong reviewed post surgery and suggest i try natural for 1yr before embarking on IVF.
Feb 2013 : Govt announce $$ subsidy. Decide to call NUH for IVF appt with PC Wong.
April 2013 : Did 1st IVF but failed. Did TCM acupuncture prior to ER (Egg retrieval) coz prof says will boost quality of eggs. Collected 24eggs, 11 fertilized, 1used for ivf, 10 in storage
May 2013 : PC Wong says take 1-2months break go for TCM to improve womb condition since no medical advancement on embryo implantation, science only perfected retrieving eggs and fertilizing them. Consulted Tang Shan TCM (Marine Parade, opposite NTUC beside Teresa Slimming center, Dr Albert Que) with my other friend who is also preparing for IVF. Religiously consulted him once a week, drink herbal tea & acupuncture treatment 30min each time, $80-90 each time (more ex coz the clinic will brew and package the herbal tea, drink twice a day for 4-5days). Herbal tea changes weekly according to body condition.
Friend succeed in her 2nd ivf attempt after TCM with me, due in 5weeks time. I managed to conceive naturally to PC Wong's surprised and i'm due in 8weeks time, both of us spent around 2-2.5months.
Another lady in the forum whom i recommended also managed to conceive naturally after failing her ivf attempt at NUH (coz we kept in contact), think she's due in August 2014, i think she also took 2months plus
