wow, this thread very busy today.
Hi Just to Share, my first IUI was oni $900 plus as i oni took 5 jabs of 50iu daily + clomid which is very cheap one. Puregon injections (430iu): ~$230
For my 2nd IUI, I did not use clomid any more, just purely 75iu Puregon daily for about 10 days, + Progesterone inserts after the IUI...so adds up to about 1.2K. (If you scroll to the top of this thread, you can see Xinyu giving the break down of the cost) Your 3.5K is quite expensive, maybe because it includes the price of preparing the drugs for you? In KK, we have to run to and fro betw the clinic and the pharmacy to get those drugs/injections...lots of self service, so maybe cost lower. but never mind lah, as long can get preggie, any amt i think we are willing to fork out rite?
WanBB, don't take the BBT till it is nearer to test date?
then it will take the stress of you! hee hee...how u feel today? I went KK to do my Progesterone blood test today and heard the lady sitting beside me finding out from the nurse she is preggie from IVF. She was so happy....wah...so envious!
Yesterday was very pissed off by some new colleague. She very loud mouth and went around advising all "the married but no children yet" ladies and gentlemen what to do, all the tricks. She so confident that she says all her previous colleagues seeing fertility specialists for years all conceived under her guidance! But what she advised was so common in the SBO, lifting legs after BD for 1 hour, BD when both are aroused, acidity and alkanlity of the uterus.....etc. nothing special. Actually nothing wrong with her sharing lah, just feel very frustrated cos she is not a doc, and thinks it is so easy getting preggie, and cannot understand why so many of us are so unenlightened about the trick of making babies. The ultimate was she came to a group of 5 or 6 of us who are TTCing very hard and starting to show off her knowledge*sigh* sorry for blabbling, just very pissed off.
