Hi ladies
I am a patient of Dr F but not into any fertility treatment yet. Can I know how much does it costs for IUI and IVF journey?

Ya babies AF can opt for natural delivery for singleton.
I didn't experience cramping. Dr F shld be able to issue MC, u can ask from him. But i think its for a few days at most.
It could be from the treatment that's causing it, do highlight to Dr F I believe he has medication to ease your pain, meantime, try to reduce your movements by bedresting and drinking more water. Also try warm water for drinking and for your bathes.

Soho: Lucky for you.
I did asked and he said it is because of ivf, stimulation. My ovaries are still pretty large therefore I experience sharp pains at times. However, it will go away in 1 to 2 weeks. (Never speak of MC though) His recommandation is to take panadol if the pain persists. True enough, the pain was quite unbearable during CNY and worst, I had morning sickness. Therefore, I rested alot during CNY.
Btw... When is your EDD?

Yes, I am taking tonnes ov supplements, Ibaret Folic 500, folic acid, aspirin (not the ones we normally take) and another one that looks like royal jelly (for brain development of baby).
Are you taking folic acid? You actually need to take this, if doc never give u can just go pharmacy buy much much cheaper. Take one a day for baby's spinal growth.

No, they are not from Dr Foong I understand Dr Foong is quite good , he doesn't prescribe much medication and jabs. Which also help mummies save money.
The aspirin is to thin my blood so more nutrients go to
baby.
Do not take chinese medicine already, if you still taking them.
Is this your first pregnancy?

I was told by my gynae when I was expecting he said do not take chinese medicine. I asked then what abt essence of chicken he said only the plain ones can.
I think not safe for pregnant women. My 1st pregnancy I also did not take during 1st/2nd trimester. Only took after delivered like black chicken tonic soups, tang gui. etc.

Ttc should be fine with chinese medicine. There are some herbs that can pssoibly help u conceive. U can ask the shopkeeper. I know of one that resembles a 'wood' is good for ttc but super expensive like 1 jing is $30-$50 something like that. Really pricey but ppl said is good, didn't try it tho.
Sorry but perhaps I am not quite a believer of acupuncture. I am more a massage person. Massages can also help your blood circulation.

hi lena,
i'm also weak emotionally. i cried a lot whenever i failed. but now it's worth all my hard work and tears. and we r on the top of the world
u got naturally for the first one?
i went for scan last saturday. it's not twins, only one. a bit disappointed. but dr foong said it's better for me.
now the morning sickness is killing me. but it's nothing compare to my ttc journey. i told my husband we will try for another one once this baby is about one yr old. we can try it only when we r young. so if u really want second one, don't think too much. i encourage u to go for it.

hi mrswee,
dr foong usually doesn't straight away go for ivf. my first consultation with him on december 2009. i was like u, wanted to go for ivf straight as we were trying to conceive for years. he monitor my cycles and started with iui. only after i failed 3 iui, he suggested me to go for ivf. so i started my ivf on october 2010. i heard there are many patients got pregnant through iui too. that's why he always gives chances to patient. ivf is more stressful and need to spend a lot of money.
i never emailed dr foong before. i don't know his email address too. usually i call the clinic if i want to speak to him.
don't give up. stay positive.

hi lena,
so u conceived naturally for the 1st one. i have a friend who conceived naturally for the 1st one and she tried again for the 2nd one for about 5-6 yrs. but i think she never see any dr for ttc. she is now 3 months pregnant again. also naturally. i can see that she is very happy. so u don't give up, ok.
hi Angel,
if i'm not wrong, i paid around $1000 each for iui. but it depends on what type of medication u need. for me, i paid about $400-500 for medications and iui cost is around $500.
for ivf, i paid around $16000 (ivf+embryo transfer). but i failed the first time. so i paid again about $3000 for frozen embryo transfer. day ward stay included.
Hi baby 79,
tks. yah, i'm also surprise that i'm not having twins. dr foong said when he saw my first hcg which was 2600+, he thought it's twins or more. and when he saw my second hcg which was 6000+, he already knew it may be single. he said first hcg was very high, because baby is healthy. i don't know because of my high hcg or not, my morning sickness is very bad.
so u deliver your twins at gleneagles? natural delivery? for me, i may need the c-sect as my cervix is narrow. how much u spent for delivery and hospital stay? by the way, how old are your babies? u r so lucky that u had twins.

When my hcg is 356 on d12.. Dr f say its high and likely is twins... Then when its 599 on d14... dr f says maybe one twin implant but did not grow.. Cos the hcg did not double..
So im surprise when the scan shows two sacs... Totally didnt expect it.. Not prepared at all...
High hcg usually will cause morning sickness.. It will most likely go away after first tri.. So hang in there ya..
Yes i delivered at glen... C sect cos i have total previa.. Cant deliver naturally... My delivery charges is abt $7k.. Cos i went
thru emergency c sect...
My twins is 3 mths old now... Yup i count myself lucky to strike with twins.. But i succeed only at the 2nd fresh ivf cycle... I failed numerous of iuis too... Dr f says my twins is to make up for lost time haha..But its really not easy to take care of two bbs... So it may be good to be a singleton then try again for the second one few yrs later...

babe 79,
i also wanted to have twins to make up for the time that we lost. but i'm thinking, if it's twins, my morning sickness may be worst. so like u said, may be good to be a singleton, then will try again for the second one later. i still have 8 frozen embryos.
i'm a bit scared of c-sect. was it under GA? was it painful after that?
$7K is including ward stay? i heard we need to stay about 6 days in the hospital.
congratulation for your twins!!! boys or girls?

hi babe 79,
oh, u strike two girls. they must be very cute. if i see twins, i can't take my eyes off from them. last time, my dream was to be a mother of three daughters. i prefer girls. but after i went through my hard ttc journey, now all i want is just to have a child. doesn't matter boy or girl. we can't choose anyway.
my husband said i'm just two months prgenant and already worry for delivery. my EDD is on 14 oct.

Haha.. When i look at my girls.. I cant get enough of them..
It feels like a dream sometimes when im looking at them... Cant believe im finally a mummy.. A dream comes true..
I do not have a preference of boy or girl.. Being able to get pregnant its aldy a big blessing.. But of cos i did hope to get a boy-girl twins.. Hehe... But im just as happy to have two girls!
Do enjoy yr pregnancy now.. Cos i miss my pregnancy alot now that i have delivered.. Miss the big tummy.. Miss the bbs movement and kicks.. Miss the shopping with bbs inside me.. Miss the couple times with hb... Miss those long sleeping time... Cos once bbs are out.. Sleeping and couple times without bbs are a luxury...
Btw taka baby fair is starting soon.. U can go take a look.. Thou its still early for u now to buy bb items... U can go take baby list from taka to have a idea of what are the tins u will need to buy..

babe 79,
i also feel like i'm dreaming. still cannot believe that i'm pregnant. i'm enjoying it. but i think i will enjoy more when my morning sickness is over. and i hope i'll get twins for my next ER. ha ha.
i must go to taka baby fair. even though it's still early to buy, just going there with hubby will be some kind of pleasure, right.
by the way, what kind of binder did u use and where did u buy?
