1. Anyone using Medisave to claim Assistant Conception Procedure?
2. I wonder whether I should change to public hospital to do IUI to use Medisave to claim. I scare can't pregnant within 1 cycle of treatment.
Pls share your advise.

Good luck. Where are u doing your IVF? My doc asked me to go queue for IVF while doing SOIUI it I KS! Lolx. So I will be making an appt to get a queue number.

I Guess most ppl would advise to use own money for IUI and save the grants for IVF if needed cos IVF is more ex. IUI will be ~$1.5k to $2k. In my own opinion, not worth for the grants compared to IVF

Good idea. Thanks.
Maybe I will be joining u in the ivf route
A bit dreadful about iui process but gonna still try
as for you, try to relax and enjoy life for the next 2 months!!!Depending on whether u r doing natural iui or super ovulation (SOIUI).. i’m on my 2nd natural iui and went to 3x for scanning and follow by the procedure on the 4th visit. Which gynae did u go to?
Hi, thanks for the reply. I just called in and told to go for a scan on my cd11. I am seeing sgh CARE.
Hi sunshine_85Good luck to you as well
How’s your iui today? Hope all is good at your end
our TWW starts now! Hugs! R u given progesterone tablets twice a day?sunshine_85

Hi sunshine_85
How’s your iui today? Hope all is good at your end
Hi bbsparkle! Hope everything is good for u! Given the tablets but have to take 2 tablets/night. Weird thing is that there’s no BBT shift so I’m wondering if the trigger shot works
Anyway did they tell u the post wash result? I’m not sure why they only took less than a ml when there are much more after the wash. So in the end, the count and morphology wasn’t ideal.
Hello, I did 3 IUIs (none with stim injections, just ultrasound and ovidrel trigger shot) and these are the cost:
1st IUI: $1218.65 (including a blood test for Thalassameia, Amenorrhoea, Thyroid, AMH and Fertility Infection)
2nd IUI: $927.65
3rd IUI: $1055.60 (this is a Clomid cycle. In addition, I was given Duphaston and my husb given Q10 tablets).
Better to use cash. Keep the govt funding for IVF.

Hi PlanStork, were u successful with IUI?
No, I went on to ivf and conceived. 17 weeks now.
All e best for your iui! I hope you get lucky with strike one
ivf is really very invasive and takes a toll on your body, so it's good u try iui first.Anyone must take Letrozone before process of iui?

Hi.. I'm new here.. i did see the Letrozole in the brochure but my doctor didn't precribe for me to eat. not sure is this optional.
i scare injection de.

I am also afraid but I have no choice. I get my husband to be beside me, at least his presence will give me the courage.
Heard that high success rate for iui is to perform the iui between 24 hour and 36 hours after the injection (hCG)
My folicle is 17mm in D14. Doctor advised me to do iui in D18 and have an injection (hCG) on D16.
Was wondering if i should follow doctor advice to do iui on my D18 as this will be more than 36 hours after the injection.

Hi pandora, I did my trigger on D13 and iui procedure on D15. Importantly is that iui must be done around 36hours after trigger. So my trigger was done at 1130pm at D13. IUI was around 130pm on D15. Since doc has advised then should be appropriate else u can check with him again. Stay positive

Hi Sunshine, have you success on your iui?

Hi,
Anyone has the same experience as me? Nearer the end of 2 weeks period, initially, there was brown discharge then followed by light bleeding (not full flow menses yet). However, still on Duphaston and blood test is still a few days away. HPK test is negative. Does it mean full flow menses is coming?

Hi everyone! Glad to have found this platform where we get advice from one another. I will be starting SO-IUI when my next menses arrives. I've attended fertility talks and even my gynae at KKH says the success rate for IUI is low - 10%.
I've been married for almost 2 years and my hub's sperm morphology is <1. We have been trying since we got married but to no avail.
I've always wondered why gynaes still encourage IUI even though the success rate is so low. If I have to try IUI 5-8 times (S$2000 x 5 = S$10k), then i might as well go for IVF directly since success rate will be higher right? Please correct me if I am wrong.

i think it depends on the couple's conditions. i am with KKH too. Doc recommends that i go for 2 rounds of SO-IUI before i go for ivf. I have failed my first SO-IUI and have not decided when to start the 2nd round. For our case, its due to low ovarian reserve.
allthingsnatural
Member
@Hopeful_tadada Sorry to hear about your case. Are you with KKH private or subsidized? I understand how you feel. I have friends who have done many sessions of IUI and IVF and were not successful, so I don't have very high hopes with my first SO-IUI. I even discussed with my hubs to go for IVF right away if first SO-IUI doesn't work out. Mainly because we are in our mid 30s and also are planning for more than 1 child.

i am considered a private patient although i have polyclinic referral letter. The cost is differentiated by citizenship.
We do have plans for 2 children but see how things go. Its already difficult to bear 1.

i think it depends on your body's reaction to the hormone medication. My SO-IUI was on cycle day 10.

I went to consult another doctor. The doctor is more senior, the clinic able to claim through Medisave.
This doctor advise us to do SO-IUI instead of normal IUI.
I will start next month. The doctor advised me to check my tube (HSG) before start SO-IUI.

It's funny how different doctors have different opinions. In my case, KKH told me to call on day 1 of my menses. I called on a Saturday and the Nurse, over the phone, told me to come down on Monday for my injection. As I am working, I asked if I can come down on Saturday and she said yes. During my briefing on Saturday, the Nurse giving the briefing told me that I should start my Puregon injections on Sunday. I asked if there is a difference on starting on Sunday or Monday and she said, "a lot of difference". She even told me that I likely have to continue my jabs post Day 5 scan. I cannot imagine how my cycle would be affected had I listened to the Nurse over the phone to come on Monday.

Actually I think most of the time, nurses don't really give accurate information. It really depends on your condition. For mine, my doc did tell me there's isn't much difference for one day. But I was using gonal-F tho, so not sure if different brand matters too.

Hello Everyone!
May I know the cost / scheduling appointment of doing IUI in private hospital and gov hospital? Anyone can advise?
I am TTC for more than a year, previously went for a check at Thomson women clinic (Serangoon). The doc advised me to keep trying naturally for a year if no result, then decide what is next.

Can I confirm one cycle of SO-IUI means one time for a month?

Our first appointment at NUH with Prof Wong was about 800 sgd(consultation with scan, chlamydia smear, blood tests for both of us, without hubby's semen analysis and my HSG).

Based on your menstrual cycle. When you have day 1 of full flow menses, you will call the IVF centre and be prescribed with medication/injections.
allthingsnatural
Member
I see. I feel there shouldn't be much difference as what your doctor mentioned. I'm a first-timer, and am naturally worried and would want the procedures to be done on time and right to maximize chances. Just worried, and also because as a subsidized patient, I don't get to see the doctor to clarify my doubts at all..
allthingsnatural
Member
I am a subsidized patient with KKH. The cost for registration, drugs, scans and procedure does not exceed S$2600 (I don't remember how much I paid KKH for HSG and all the blood tests..). I was looking at Raffles Medical's fertility site and saw this:
But do note that the cost may differ if you are going through SO-IUI. You may wish to call them to verify. My experience is I also waited extremely long just to see the doctor.. Talking about 1.5-2 hours wait for each visit.

Yes, SO-IUI or IUI usually takes a month to complete. From Day 1 of your menses to post-menses, and two weeks wait to check if you're pregnant.
I jus went for the briefing for SOIUI. Nurse was saying when i come mense 1st day i need to call them then next day i have to go down to take those medicine n they teach me gow to jab. then i need to go for ultrasound scan. after some scan when i m ready they will procees to do the SOIUI but my concern was my office colleagues cos they very bad de. Will bad mouth ppl. I don know how to take so many days leave w/o tell them. They very kpo de sure ask.
