IUI/SO-IUI: Anyone?


here is info from Profertil authorized dealer, I sent them request about Singapore))
1) KK Women & children’s hospital Retail Pharmacy
2) NUH Kent Ridge Wing Retail Pharmacy
3) Khoo Teck Puat Hospital Retail Pharmacy (pls call to make sure they have enough stock for you)
 
How does SO-IUI work ? Where should I go if I want to do SO IUI ?
You will first need to find a Fertility specialist. Depending on you want govt or private. Govt has more subsidies but am unsure on the waiting time. I am currently with VFC. You can check the forum on recommended doc. You will need to go thru blood test, scan and followed with medication and injects prescribed by the doc. the doc will monitor you closely on the follicles size before the iui. On the day of the procedure, they will insert ur hubb sperm into ur cervix. the procedure is very fast around 5mins and after that you can go back to your normal activity.

Virtus fertility centre.. is ard 900plus for the IUI procedure and is before all the meds test etc.. the cost depends on each individual as there are different med prescribed for each individual..u needa speak to the doctor first.. are you seeing any docs now?

Yupp, I am with NUH, I just did my first IUI (BFN) last month -- apparently it costs about $900 as well. :eek:
Hows your IUI?

I know it does not affect sex drive. But if ones sex drive low will made things worse. That’s what I’m trying to say. Cos my hubby’s sex drive low. Haha.


My gynae gave him some supplement to improve the quality. It was improved. But we both still have failed chances. I’m going for my 3rd iui soon. Just hope is successful. Very tired trying now. Been trying to conceive every month since last April without fail.
Hihi, @goggyforyoz, have you went for your third IUI? :)

Just dont understand why the sperm cant meet the eggs .. Dr still worried i have too many follicles but i went ahead with it.. now disappointed...

Got to call dr make appointment and start all over again... T_T

Mine too.. The sperm cant penetrate the eggs. Probably due to the poor morphology.

Hi,

It’s my second cycle of iui , today is my 6 dpiui.
I experience stomach cramping or discomfort since 2 days ago. Is it cos of the side effects of dydrogesterone? My side effects seems alot, even my breast also very pain and my skin also pop a few small small bumps like clogged pores, weight also increase a few kg and bloated. =....((
Anyone experience stomach cramping also during the tsw?

Thanks ! I just got the empty bottle from Thomson Medical Centre for my hubby's sperm collection. Since my hubby is still on his job probation, we are giving SO-IUI a try for the first time after his probation. So I still have some time to do more research as to which place is recommended for the SO-IUI procedure that does not cost so much. Is Thomson Medical Centre recommended ? Is the procedure expensive ?

I think my AF is reporting... Some blood can be found on the panty liner and today is only 12dpiui. I don't have any symptoms and was hoping that my TCM med can support the fertilization and implantation. oh well... got to wait for Doc appointment in Oct for IVF option. sianz.

Sorry to hear that.. but if 12dpo gt spotting and AF never report it could be implantation bleeding?.. Btw.. if going thru fertility treatment can see TCM? any conflict? if not i also wanna try tcm sigh.. is like giving everything a shot... T_T

This month i cant start on my #2 iui.. just U/S monitor and time intercourse coz i have a cyst.. sigh... and not advisable to go for any injectable treatment except on clomid for ovulation and trigger shot.. not too promising as my hub is not in town and he will only be back on the day of my trigger.. going crazy soon haha..

Its AF reporting. Super heavy due to the jabs. My physician from EYS sees it as complementary. In the morning i will take western pills and 2 hrs later take TCM. ya i am giving everything a shot. i even asked my hub if we should try geomancy. he said i crazy.

im just worried that the jabs and tcm med might clash. lol
but if you believe then maybe can try geomancy.. feel so tired maybe i should take a break

think i will go c tcm.. i got a gut feeling this month TI also fail.... cz hub unwell .. i can feel you.. jus take break first bah.. jiayou!
 
Any idea how to increase morphology? whats ur hub analysis? Is the waiting time long for nuh?
I also dont know leh, I read so many forums, asked so many friends:
1) vitamins -- my husband swallows a dozen of these and sad to say none of these works (it works for others tho')
2) exercise -- my husband also exercised but apparently nothing changes
3) TCM -- lagi worse, spent hundreds of dollars to find out the TCM physician knows nothing about varicocele.
4) Did varocelectomy to correct the varicocele -- spent 15K to find out at the end of the day his other surrounding veins are affected as well.

I think none of these works on DH because he has a varicocele, not because of his bad diet/exercise diet to begin with (he dont even eat junk food and we ate basmati/organic brown rice at home). Hence I think no amount of vitamins/exercise/tcm will work (unless got miracle).
DH analysis is low morphology (2%), the other parameters within normal range.

Anyway, the waiting time in NUH is superb. I waited less than 10 mins (if you are on the dot for your appt) for consultation and 20 mins for payment during peak hour. During non-peak, the duration is definitely shorter. So far I've quite a pleasant experience in NUH clinics. Efficient and the nurses are friendly.

Day 9 post iui. Having light cramp on the mature follicle side and Sore breast.. Chance of pregnancy? Or af coming soon :(
are you on progestrone pills? sometimes it might mimics pregnancy symptom.. 9piui could also be implantation cramp.. as long af doesnt show, you are not out.. dont symptom spot .. good luck! Stay positive

i have given up on this cycle.. only manage to bd once cz hub travel and unwell wasted my trigger....
