IUI/SO-IUI/IVF.. LET'S SHARE AND BFP TOGETHER!!!

Hi Janch, Im a pvte patient under dr pc wong and so far my experience is quite ok with nuh. Who are ur drs? Subsidised patient is cheaper but I believe the probs u faced are partially because keep changing dr then they are not familiar with ur history. U may wanna consider change to pvte patient or seek second opinion with a pvte gynae.
 


Hi Janch, Im a pte patient with nuh..my case was recently trf to a fertility specialist.Even under prev gynea i was ordered all the blood tests, hsg..im surprised u were told to do iui without doing the hsg test!

Hi I'm new here.. Ttc 2 yrs with unexplained infertility... I would like to know more about ivf as I will b going for it end of this month @ sgh... Any advise?
 
Saw her 1x..so far she is ok..must say she took time to go through my reports and answered my qns..

Natalie- u done iui before?
 
Chloe- well how it went was that after the basic checks (blood test/ womb ultrasound/ SA for HB), i was just prescribed 50mg clomid and told that first step is timed intercourse.
50mg didn't work and was given 100mg clomid. Whilst I was taking the 2nd round, I called up NUH and told them I want to combine it with iui. Was pushed from call centre and then nurse to nurse.. Only until one nurse said, 'oh during your TOO scan you can just tell the doc that you want IUI'
Only then was it told to me that my HSG test wasn't done yet. During the scan day.. I was told that best to do HSG first but I didn't want to waste that cycle and asked them why the HSG test wasn't ordered right from the start? I mean- it took us about 3 months to do the fertility and blood checks cos they have certain cycle timelines for each.
Those that are private patients with PC Wong or anupriya- how much is each consultation and how much have you guys spent so far?

Nope I never did iui before.. My friends told me that the success rate is low.. Might as well go for ivf straight since gov subsidy is higher the first time round... Like even the nurse at sgh told me that it would be a waste if I were to use it on iui... But I'm hesitating whether to do it at sgh or kkh... All my records are at sgh,. But I heard that KKIVF is better..

I paid 1k plus in total for scans / tests... definitely is expensive so that's the downside of pvte patient. My iui was abt 800 incl the TOO scan.
 
those who have gone thru iui, what's a good follicle size for day 7 (1st scan)? I just did my scan today after being on puregon injections (50mg/day) for 5 days. I have 6 follicles, 3 of them are 9mm, 7mm and 7mm. Lining is 6. Doc said everything looks good and told me to inject today and come back tmr for 2nd scan and they will advise further but most likely by mon should be ready to start ovulation. But I'm reading online forums and ovulation is usually triggered when follicles are at least 18mm and above. By mon, is it possible for my follicles to more than double in size?

I never did day 7, but i know my follicle size (natural without stimulants ) at day 11 is about 17-18mm... they trigger jab on day 14. Is true they normally want the dominant follicle to be at least 18-20mm before trigger.
 
Hmm well being a pte patient- I guess at least you get to have one doctor the whole way and get to do scans/appts on Saturdays right?
Good luck to all that are doing IUI scans etc!

Oh i didn't know subsi patient cannot have scans on sats. If my dr is not around i still gotta see another dr. But so far that happen once before only.

Hi ladies,

I failed my letrozole cycle. Dr is suggesting IUI for me. But my SIS report show there might be scar in my womb, therefore need to do OP before proceed to IUI. Would like to know if anyone has experienced the OP? Also would like to know what is the difference between IUI and SO-IUI? Any kind soul willing to share?
 
I dont know the difference but u can google to check. seems to me the latter involve injection of stimulants for follicle growth when first does not. whats OP? n
 
Operation. I need to go through an operation to repair some scarring in my womb before I can proceed to IUI. Can anyone share with me the experience of the operation or IUI. Thanks
 
Hi Pearl,
I'm seeing zou yumin at amk blk 505. I find her not bad but most of all affordable as I'm nt working. U can consider.


Hi Colettines

Wanted to check with you how is things with you ? Are you pregnant? Can i chk you alwas go and see Zou Yumin on weekly basis? If i want to see her monthly can? Accupunuturce must be weekly basis also? As i am working, it may not be feasible for me to go for weekly accupunture? Hope to hear from you soon.

Or anyone who have been to Zou Yumin, please share.

Has anyone went to Tan Siew Buoy? How about
Ma Kuang Chinese Medicine & Research Centre Pte Ltd

For IUI & IVF in KK - if you are below 40, you have a very good grant. As for IUI - you can use CPF Medisave and for the first cycl - you may not even come up with any cash for iUI.

As for IVF in KK, same case also, If you are below 40, you have good grand and at the most you need only to pay arond $2K. in KK. Do consider and their services in KK als good.

Thanks Pearl! I just called kkh up. I saw Dr Tan Hh last yr n he kept asking me to try naturally first when i really ve no more confidence already. Didnt even tell me options of iui n ivf. He is a gd doc bt our priorities were different.

So i just called kk to switch to Dr Sadhana. Wah the aunty on the phone scold me so rude.kept drilling me on why must i change doc n she must ask Dr Sadhana for permission first. Anyway worth the money. Eagerly waiting for my appt nxt mth.

Dr Sadhana is very good. if you go for IVF, she will be there personally to do the transfer. As for IUI, there are panel of doctors to adv you. I find KK is very good. I went both IUI and IVF but unsuccessful. Good luck to you but prepared to make more trips to KK when they need to check your ovaluation period.

Sorry to hear.. my 2 iuis also unsuccessful. Conceiving is tougher then i thought.

@pop123, think no need to feel paiseh. Coz all the Dr see many patients, may not remember each and everyone of us. Even if Dr THH said try naturally, you can still tell him that you have made up your mind to do IUI. He is a very patient doctor and though he asks you to try naturally, he will also take your decision into consideration.
 
sorry to add, if you are a private patient, you will see only 1 Dr (i.e. Dr Sadhana). Unless she is away, then you may see other Dr instead.
 
Hi everyone. I had my first IUI 12 days ago and I am due for pregnancy blood test next week.
I have tested with home pregnancy kits on day11 and day 12 post IUI and the results were negative. I am so upset. I have been having AF like symptoms as menses is due any one of these days if I failed this round of IUI. Really hoping that these symptoms are eventually BFP but the results from the HPK somewhat are disappointing. Anyone like me?

My bbt has also been consistently high for the past 9 days. Sigh.
So many conflicting signs and a long terrible wait. Very scared to go toilet to find out that AF is here.

Day 12 can be too early to test. Are u on support medication cos if u are on med your bbt will be high and not accurate.

I have a bit of cramping but it is very very mild. Even before IUI, I seldom have period cramps. But now I keep getting white or watery discharges on and off and I don't know what that means.

I don't experience loose stools though. I think I read in other pages that loose stools and cramping is quite common and maybe even positive sign?

My BT is on tue.

I don't know. Before iui, i had the pulling feel too. Guess similar to whwt u describe. But my BT still long.. and is only 8 days. No brown discharge, hence I don't think is positive yet.

All the best to your BT. Best to have good news with the cny, double happiness! Jia you!
