Good (super early morning) ladies!
Damn jetlag... I collapsed into bed at 9.30pm and woke up at 4.45am starving... so now i'm stuffing my face with potato chips n vitasoy, damn unhealthy, hehe. Dunno how i will survive work today.
GBOB, i called up the NUH Woman Centre appt hotline directly on 25 Sept n asked for an appt as a private patient with Prof Wong. The earliest date available was 11 Oct, but since i was still away then, i asked for 17 Oct. You need a referral letter from a polyclinic only if u want to go in as a subsidized patient. but i read somewhere that as a subsidized patient, they might get different doctors to see u, u cannot choose the doctor. Prof Wong's charges for pte patients r not bad, today first consultation was $155 (incl scan), blood test for DH was $120, blood test for me was $300. He is putting me on the short protocol, and the counsellor estimated total cost for me to be around $10-12K.
Joce, i read somewhere that the trigger shot will stay in your system for abt 10 days. So to be safe, u can test hpt DPO 11 onwards.
Mummyjay, sorry to hear abt your AF, sigh, i totally understand your frustrations. Last time before i'm start ttcing, i always thought for sure, at most, it will take me 3 months max, cos i have very regular cycles of 30 days. But month after month, always disappointed, when everybody else around me seem to be popping babies left right n centre. Haiz. But i guess all we can do is to keep our eyes on the prize n try our best, so 22 months later, i have finally arrived at the IVF option... hope it will work its magic for me. Jia you, we will all succeed one day!
