dat's y my dh wanna switch to Care after 1st visit.

i am jabbing growth hormone now and will be starting on my 3rd cycle which will be late Dec. i guess by then it should coincide with CNY for my 2ww le.

do you know when is the center closure? my company will be closed for 10 days so i thot it will be better so that i will be away from office for so long. hmmm... i better get a schedule from them when i go and take my med supply.

Hi snuggly
Congrat that u r starting ur ivf now.. Envious...
 
Pink,
Can tell me the FET procedures from beginnings to ET?
Wanted to know how does it goes along in order to prepared myself to go into it...
 
Hi PinkM, Congrats for your bfp! It has been a long time since I have last spoken to you. Not sure if you remember me!

Janice: are you starting your FET in late Dec? I have completed my ER on 20 Nov. Due to the risk of OHSS, ET will have to be scheduled to Jan. This is my 1st IVF.
 
Yen: Hi, I would like to help but I am with TMC as such the protocols with KKH or NUH is different. But I must say that this forum is a good place to share and learn from others!

sunstillshines, nope i am going for fresh cycle. this is my 2nd fresh. only get 1 embryo left from my 1st so no point going for FET. i think my ET should be around Jan too

Hi ladies...is there any foods tat can help in improving the lining?If lining is not gd,et can't be done right?anybody has experienced this b4...can share?thanks..
 
Thanks, sunstillshines. I want to try ivf but worry abt what the whole process entils. What is the total cost for ivf at tmc?
 
Janice: then, what happened to the only 1 embryo of yours? Did you do the transfer of this only precious immediately?

Where did you do your 1st IVF?
 
Joanne - I have not done bt wor. So who knows? Btw how long did it take for them to give your bt results? Is there like an optimal result or some readings that I should look out for that will says I can't go ivf?
 
Yen: I believe you saw the latest saga on the newspaper about TMC-TFC. Now, the clinic which I am going is still suspended. They will not take in new cases. I am already the existing patient when the saga broke so I am able to go ahead with the IVF progam. As of today, I have spent about $13K. There is a govt grant so I only paid $7K. This is the amt including my regular scanning until ER.

YOu may like to find out more about the different protocols that each clinic is adapting before starting your IVF. Dr Cheng from TMC-TFC is my 5th gynae already. Hb and i decided to stick to him eventhough the saga broke out about a mth ago. It is really a hassel to go and look for another gynae and start my story again.... Personally, I find that he is very skillful and has a lot of experience in this area. Also, the supporting team there are friendly and hospitable.
 
Sunstillshines,
Hi
happy.gif
You have now fully recovered after your ER and now you are on NorE ? Yes, they will send u a letter saying when is your next FET.

Yen,
I m also with tfc and despite all the mixup news flying around in the media, I m also staying with Dr Cheng. He's a v.assuring & patient dr plus his nurses at tfc are fantastic. Costs will depends on the gonalf dosage,no. of jabs required,eggs retrieved, etc etc etc. So far I did spent about 16k+ for my stimulation & one FET cycle.
 
<font color="aa00aa">Janice, yeah, she told me that center closure during CNY, will also be my 2ww, I am not comfortable with that even though she says that by the time if I need additional help or support, I can always go to TMC A&amp;E and get them to page Dr Paul. I thought about it long and hard and decided not to - docs are also human, need holiday, scarly doc go away during that period etc, I just dun need that additional stress la. Plus starting after CNY will mean I force myself to rest and slow down during CNY - can only be a good thing...I HOPE lol

Pink M, still waiting for Angela to resend chart to me since I asked for the delay.

Winnie - Angela was really sweet - told me no need worry, she can change her leave dates. I told her its ok la, don't want to mess with her dates too. :p</font>
 
Thanks. Sunstillshines and day. I read abt the mix-up by tmc. After this incident, i guess the staff wld be more careful and there shd not be any repeated case. Sunstillshines, u mention abt govt grant. I thought we wld not be eligible for any govt grant if we do ivf at pte hospital? Do we have to pay everythg in cash? Or part of the payment can be in the form of medisave? I am reading up more info before i go for it :)
 
Yen,
pte doesn't hv govt grant but we still use our medisave of 6k(first attempt)and it decreases by a grand with each subsequent attempt and we can only claim for 3 attempts.
 
Yen: Sorry... I should use the word "medisave" instead of govt grant. hahaha... medisave is still our money... the $6K is from our medisave.

The $6K from medisave was used on the day of my ER. This amt is use for the expenses incurred on that day of ER.

Medisave can also be used in pte hospital.

Thanks to Day who has been giving me a lot of tips on my process of ER.

Sunstillshines, my precious is still freeze @ kkh. i also dunno what to do with it. I started my journey in July and failed in Sept. Suppose to do FET in Oct but think it's a waste to put in juz one and the one and only one may not survive the thawing.

Went to Care to see Angela and know that i've problem with my growth hormone. now started jabbing and will be for 3 mths. will start my cycle in Dec which is my 3rd AF
happy.gif


Shoes, ya lor you are so so busy u must take the chance to slow down and relax. for me i was thinking since my company close for 10 days this time, i wanna coincide with it so i dun hv to be away from off for so long.... i'll ask them abt the schedule 1st then see how ba
 
Mina,
Do u ever tink of changing dr at kkh?
If u wan to start FET in Dec cud we change dr to transfer for us instead of waiting dr loh..
He said he on leave fm 19th to end Dec so he cnt do transferring on tis period but if we change dr to do tesmsfering then is ok ba rite?
Will u be considering of changing?
 
Hi snuggly
Not sure whether is there any specific reading in order to proceed ivf.. But if something wrong, they will call u.. Btw, r u collecting ur injection at the same time when u go for bt? Me will be going on coming mon for my consultation finally.. Take care..
 
Janice
D freezing cost for kkh last a yr.u might consider to hold n Inform kkh to dispose nearing d deadline. Else they'll auto deduct d $$.

I have 2 embryos frozen n both are grade 3.have no intention to freeze if realli unsuccessful... I'll likely go for a fresh cycle next... But d nurse and embryologist encourage d freezing..
 
Diana
