(2014) ivf mummies support group


Hi ladies! Good evening. I am new here and just got my first ultrascan today after my first ivf early in aug. Got twins.. Happy but scared of complications and risks for twins cos I m not very young.

@viven - I use dr Roland Chiang in parkway health. He also has clinic in mount e novena. Very skillful gyn. I saw a couple of others before him and none was successful.

@ dreamirene and joynpeace - when I did the ivf, the sincere clinic told me that by law I have to get the insurance for 2 embryo transfer which I did. There is only aia in the market now that does insurance for ivf.

I m also looking for insurance for this twins now. If you have any good recommendations, pls let me know. Thanks!!

Hi glitterystar, congrats!!! We have quite a few twin mummies!!
My hubby n I checked out our insurance policy for ivf.. Ours is under GE, so I think not only AIA. It does cover congenital illnesses and hospitalisations of newborn up to 180 days old. It gives daily benefit of up to $300 a day.
 
hi i1bb! your oscar results are really really good!! better than mine! so not to worry ok? =)


bb_luck, congrats on team blue!! hehe.. we have less shopping for clothes, but more $ to buy other stuff for baby! i always see cute pink/purple dresses for baby girls outside... but boy stuff must really hunt...


hi glitterystar, congrats on the twinnies!! take good care now and take more healthy food as much as possible ok?


joynpeace, can i check if you did the ivf with mount e clinic or novena care clinic? i need to go check my receipts also... the compulsory insurance (same across board for all ivf mummies) is from GE? Not AIA? I did do a check with my GE agent.. he said there are no policies from GE that covers unborn babies... so weird...
 
Thanks bb luck and little leech. Actually dr Loh alrdy told me low risk but I'm just curious abt the numbers cos he didn't bother to so call explain. Haha... Now fingers n toes crossed to detailed scan....

bb_luck said:
mei, RL website can order direct? they send to singapore? or need to vpost account?
Click to expand...
Bb luck don't use vpost! I had a bad experience with them recently.. Ordered a fisher price toy from amazon thinking they can repack as the volumetric weight is quite high as it is a bulky item. In the end they refused to repack n charged me $140 shipping for a $40 toy. Try com gateway instead. Their customer service is better. If u google, I think u will find more negative reviews on vpost

I did my ivf at novena care.. I think CARE uses GE insurance.. Not sure abt other hospitals.. I think what your agent meant is pregnancy related policies. As the ivf policy is compulsory anyway, it doesn't require a lot of promoting, so I think some agents may not be aware of it as they don't need to promote it anyway.. Not sure if my guess is right. :)
 
Joynpeace, littleleech, just to share what i know. The ivf insurance we got is only for ivf patients. And only available thru ivf clinics n hospitals. Agents are not allowed to sell them hence, they wun know abt it. And my ivf nurse shared with me b4, the various insurance companies take turns to offer this insurance. They are basically obliged to offer this kind of insurance by moh as these plans are not lucrative at all. The only prenatal insurance avail in the mkt that covers ivf is axa and aia i think. Im thinking if i shld get them but the coverage not very fantastic so still considering.

Pls do not give up! i believe once you have tried, you will gain something you want eventually.
Is just a timing issue..
 
Thxs, Kmei2, bb_luck and Littleleech.

@kmei2 - you also having twins too? Must be exciting to feel your bb kick you. Is it identical or fraternal twins? I am having fracternal twins. 2 of the embyros got implanted during the ET process. My dr told me that prenatal tests for twins is a bit complex. I am in the high-risk group cos of my age so he said oscars wont be accurate. What sort of prenatal tests did you do?

hi ladies - have anyone done Harmony Prenatal tests or amniocentesis prenatal tests? i heard amniocentesis is very risky cos it may cause MC... Oscar seems to be the most common test but with my age, the result wont be accurate according to my gyn...

hee fraternal too :D I went for Oscar and yup the NT scan was higher then average so went for 2nd opinion as do not wish to go Amnio as the risk is much higher..2nd opinion was good hence I cancelled the amnio and now looking forward to the detail scan in another 2 weeks time!
 
morning mummies... nice weather to Zzzzz..

summer, yes took the package with my gynae till give birth.. so next visit no need to pay the consultation fee lo.. probably only the supplement kwa.. if took the package, the maternity package to deliver also cheaper.. but not sure abt kkh..
