Thanks miraclebaby for your insight & encouragement ... its so good that the Australian gov heavily subsidises IVF. Its really quite frustrating that the Singapore gov talk about lack of babies, and here we are trying so hard to have one, and the gov is not even subsidising more.... sigh... worst of all, its using OUR own money from MEdisave, AND to top it off, they are "allowing" us to use our own medisvae in diminishing amounts $6k, $4k, $2k, (apparently chances are lower as each cycle progresses) ... what a load of s%$t!! I mean, some people just need to go thru more cycles to get the baby ...like your friend.
Bodhi ... i agree with you... mean time i am feeling down becos, i know i have weakened my body system, esp the ovaries and uterus. I mean, it was quite forceful to have applied such high level of HCG, sucked out the eggs and then pumping progesterone suppositories into my uterus etc.
Yes, the western technique is very FAST hence forceful in approach, and indeed it has produced results in some but sometimes adverse results in others.
To top it off, as i am having AF now, i am having one of the worse cramps and also feeling pain and weakness at the uterus and ovary even at day 2/3 (usually i get cramps and tiredness only for one day and thats it). And i know that this is a outcome of post IVF treatment.
I wish to recover faster from this aftermath, meantime, i cant exercise ... sigh ... so the inertia is also contributing to my sadness.
