hi maxxx
i thought medisave is claimable only for fresh cycles of IVF? in any case, i hope you'll be stong for her and she'll try to be strong too. dun lose faith and hope, pick up and try again. i have friends who are above 35 who still managed to conceive, be it naturally or via IVF. most recently, i know of someone who is 37 years old, she went to chinese sinseh and took her meds for 4-5 months and she conceived naturally. she also had endometriosis and something else i cannot remember. so you see, it's not a lost cause. of cos, with all that your sis has encountered, it's only human nature to be discouraged.
seow, try not to be so -ve lah, must have faith in yourself, hubby and prof mah.

Hi all. Been reading the threads here for some time. I think you all are a great bunch. Looking for a cycle buddy now. Will be starting puregon tomoro. I hate this part coz the medication stings a little more than Lucrin. This will be my second attempt coz my first was terminated just 2 days before ER. I had the Chicken Pox. So irritating.
ya, me also want leh. Then may be I should use a super duper turbo powered vacuum *keke*
tch, must take care and rest plenty hor
maxxx, I also have endo and mine is the severe one...pls tell ur sis to chin up. I know it is tough but I believe in miracle so we are all going to make it...am very sure all the sisters here will agree hor. Must be strong and press on, sure can wan.
welcome Mrs Z

Maxx, I hope your sister hasn't given up trying. My own brother and sister in law had been trying for a child for 18 years since their marriage and had gone for treatments from traditional to modern means to no avail. Funny thing was she didn't realise that she was pregnant until 6 months into her pregnancy! She was 38. Overjoyed, she bought all her maternity stuff but only managed to enjoy her pregnancy for a month coz the foetes had some complications and had to be delivered prematurely at 7 mths. The baby girl was hardly 1kg and spent about 3 mths in ICU. My niece is now a healthy, mischievous 2 yr old. Miracles do happen so dont give up hope. Your sister will be blessed one day.

Hi Stillsad
I think the main reason that some of the preggies ladies share their updates on their pregnancies is just to encourage some of the sisters who are still trying like me.
Of course, you are also right that we shouldn't be too engross talking about our pregnancies. For me, it really those news that really inspire/ encourage me to try for No.2 (whether via assisted means or natural).
It is a brand new year for all of us and hope the more good news will be coming in this thread
Let us all jiayou together!

Hi there,
Am new to this forum. Just would like to ask about PCOS. Am a suffer since 18 but did not take any medication to regulate until now to try for a child.
I am currently seeing Prof Kuldip in NUH. Am on clomid(50mg) for 5 mths now but no success.
My gyn says that if it does not work, will try with IVF.
1)Are there any other options to try before doing IVF. Am 28 this year.
2)Are there any gyns to suggest for 2nd opinion.Should i see an reproductive endrincologist too?
3)Is the ovulation test kit good. Am doing BBt now but difficult to track.

Mimi,
I am very very with the outcome of my 1st IVF, I am not preggie, but many questions was answered. When we did our 1st IVF, we had 4 eggs during ER and 3 embryos transfered. This shows that we still can have chance and hope for having child.Anyway, the drugs will have about the same effect but the degree will vary from individual to individual. Superfacts made me a little tired and bloated.The jab is not painful as the needle is fine. Just remember to take a deep deep breath and breath out slowly while doing it. It will keep your mind busy with the breathing. Don't worry much Mimi, you are surrounded by many of us who will support you. I am gald that there are so many sisters who are willing to share and encourage.

Hi. I am new here. Just had my 2nd IVF with 2 embryos transferred but wicked AF arrived 2 days ago during my 2ww. We had been very hopeful coz our 1st attempt in May 04 did not even reach to the stage of embryo transfer. Have been crying alot and heart feels so sore that i think i need to dig it out to stitch the patch! We are now thinking of a third attempt. Could any ladies here advise how long we need to rest before we can start another cycle?
I am thinking of switching to PC wong or LC Cheng? Anyone with these 2 doctors? Do the gynaes do the ultrasounds themselves or the sonographers? (I understand in government hospitals, gynaes don't do the ultrasounds and u don't see the gynaes only till ER and ET) Thanks.

Thks mimi. Hanging on... ...at SGH. They have different sonographers performing the ultrasounds. So everytime u go, u see different sonographers. It's good that the gynae does the ultrasounds for u so that at least if you hv any queries, u can ask him straightaway and u get immediate answers. Why did u decide to go to him? Now that it's my third attempt, want to get a real good, super fertility expert. I heard that the embryologist in TMC is quite good too. So am still pondering... ... Don't worry about the jabs. Its only the 1st jab that is abit scary but u get used to it. Good luck to u.
