Hi all
I have been TTC-ing for the past 1 year. Seen KKH doc for 5 rounds of letrozole at the beginning of this year and been seeing TCM for the past 5 months. My cycles are regular after letrozole and my menses has been more smooth after TCM.
As I am 30 years old this year, I am considering to look at the next step - IUI. Will go for natural IUI first before SO-IUI as both husband and I have normal fertility test results. Would like to seek advice from all present and past TTC-ers:
(1) Would you recommend IUI at public (as non-subsidised patient) or private hospital?
(2) What are the pros and cons in IUI experience in public (non subsidized patient) vs private hospital? This includes:
* Waiting time
* Getting appointments and responsiveness when need help - especially 2ww
* Arrangement for daily scanning to time hcg triggle shot (any chance hospitals have early morning or lunch time appointments?)
* Doctor and nurses expertise and supporting you in IUI journey
(3) What is the cost in 2017 for IUI and SO-IUI in Public (non subsidized patient) and Private hospital?
I am now considering NUH Dr Stephen Chew or Parkway East / Mt E Novena Dr Roland Chiang based on feedback but am still open to options. If anyone have gone through IUI/IVF with them, please share your journey
Would greatly appreciate sharing of recommended doctors in IUI / SO-IUI who have empathy, willing to address patients' questions and tweak treatment plans/propose alternatives when required.
Thank you so much in advance!
