Hi everyone!
Decided to sign up for an account as I just started IVF at SGH.
First consultation with Dr Yong in Oct 2018, and subsequently did 2 IUIs that failed. Our main cause of concern would be my low egg reserves and the husband's swimmers. Decided to just go ahead with IVF after my IUI in April failed because I guess there was no point in trying the 3rd time with our test results and spending more cash on it.
Experience at SGH has been great so far. I like the nurses, and even Dr Tan who assists Dr Yong when she's busy or not around has been encouraging.
Just did my 3rd jab of Orgalutran today, and also Elonva after my first scan. Scan shows 10 follicles, which is better than my previous scan during IUI which had only 6. A lot of worries still going on in my head, because what if there are no eggs or what if the quality is bad. But I am also trying to stay positive and be grateful for the 10.
What abt u?
Not yet, but they said probably Jul. How ur BT? Any gd news?Oh so you haven’t started your cycle of ivf yet?

Anyone had the Elvona jab and subsequently suffered massive headaches? Been having it since I got the jab on Monday and it's still going strong.
Did one fresh cycle but failed earlier this yr.
Am doing frozen cycle and ET on Wednesday.
Any idea on purchasing insurance coverage for the embryos? SGH used to have the coverage but they have stopped it.
Yes I wanted to know about this too. I heard no more ivf coverage since apr19
Don’t be upset. I had same, last year retrieved 13 follicles, got 3 blastocysts, this year retrieved 8(on scan was about 13), all mature and 7 fertilized, also got 3 blastocyst. After this march ER I felt much better and blastocyst are also better.Hello,
Just did my ER
In my previous cycles, the number of follicles shown on ultrasound is the same as number of eggs retrieved.
But this time round, I had 13 follicles shown on the scan but only 8 were retrieved.
Is this possible? I was kinda upset after the ER.
I am with KKH, so I don't get to speak to the doctor after the procedure and he is a covering doctor too.
Thank you.
There is still. Just that no longer compulsory. You can try asking the hospital for the forms.

Didn't know there were such insurance coverage.Oh they told us to go search ourselves
Ya, same thing I went for scan today and asked them.Oh they told us to go search ourselves
Oh they told us to go search ourselves
Oh they told us to go search ourselves
But have to apply for it within 7 days from your ET.
Huh?? Too late for me then
Ooh. If it has pass 7 days, then you probably will have to source for other insurance. I’m shocked that the hospital told you to go find yourself. Though is no longer compulsory, they still could have recommended.
I’m appalled too

Fyi, when I did early of the year, compulsory is under great eastern.Didn't know there were such insurance coverage.
Was also told to start looking at neonatal insurances on our own.
Started to look up online as well.Fyi, when I did early of the year, compulsory is under great eastern.
Anyway if you all miss it, I could say once reach 13weeks pregnancy you are able to get from many insurance company. The insurance is main to cover for baby NICU in the even preterm or due to complications.
Started to look up online as well.
But do take note that some of the insurance company do not cover pregnancy via IVF.
aviva covers IVF pregnancy? i was going to get AIA one has it covers ivf pregnancy but it has to be tied to a whole life plan or investment-linked plan.Yup so got to read the clause well.
Even when I bought the compulsory one, now I'm trying to find one too. Maybe will go for Aviva.
Because the compulsory one only take care the baby NICU only. It does not include mum protection in the event when there is complications. Thus now I'm after 13weeks so trying to read every insurance protection and cover till how many weeks of pregnancy.
just catching up on these, what insurance cover for pregnancy are you looking for? I believe these companies provide the most basic cover..aviva covers IVF pregnancy? i was going to get AIA one has it covers ivf pregnancy but it has to be tied to a whole life plan or investment-linked plan.
i heard NTUC covers ivf pregnancy. can anyone confirm?
Babe, sorry to hear.. Recall we were on similar ER schedule in May.I have just finished my first ivf cycle with a negative
My next appointment with the doctor is only in 3 weeks. I’m at kkh.
Can anyone tell me more about how fet medicated vs natural works?
And if my menses come before my next consultation will i still be able to start?
Thanks
Thanks for sharing!Babe, sorry to hear.. Recall we were on similar ER schedule in May.
I'm assuming all of us doing fet, it's medicated. For the purpose of timing and better prepare body for the implantation. With natural, you have to time the transfer v carefully.
Dr explained timelines for FET, usually around day 19 of cycle.. He will give meds and monitor you twice, day 10/14 respectively. Because of my travels in Aug, Dr said he can start from day 15, no biggie. Also doing endometrial scratch the cycle before fet.
Don't mind me asking, what grade are your frozen, and how many you intend to transfer?
Not day 1, as it's not confirmed yet and doc said meds can start whenever I'm back from travels, so think not as strict..Thanks for sharing!
Meds will start on day 1?
I only have one blasto left grade C. How abt yourself? How many are you planning to transfer?
just catching up on these, what insurance cover for pregnancy are you looking for? I believe these companies provide the most basic cover..
Have heard ppl talk about bupa, which is very popular for maternity cover as all maternity costs is paid for (Inc. Checks, tests, delivery costs) after the waiting period. But the insurance is very expensive. super comprehensive though, even covers premmies... Which don't think any of the usual companies do

KKH they provide and will depends on how many embryos u put.. i used to pay for insurance with them, its great eastern insurance.I will still get you the company name. You can try checking with them.

Just did my scan today and was told they found a polyp and transfer may not happen. Kinda depressing to hear and on top of that the growing follicles are only about 5.
Have to start Puregon tonight but now I am feeling like what is the purpose in doing so when it's not going well.
Dont be depressed. Probably they still let u continue on medication so that they can retrieved those eggs from you.Just did my scan today and was told they found a polyp and transfer may not happen. Kinda depressing to hear and on top of that the growing follicles are only about 5.
