Tanny, Sashamama,
Thanks for your encouragement ...
Elaine,
Yes I was seeing a TCM in Bukit Merah for few months prior to IVF, but only started taking his herbs very regularly for 2 months. However, I am going to switch to Dr Tan SB now ... seen her once immediately after the unsuccessful attempt.
Hi Wendy,
Dr Loh did not say he cannot reach my follicles. I think he actually did reach it but most of it turned out not to be actual follicles but cysts. He kept telling me my adeno is all over my uterus, implying lots of difficulty in me conceiving, even right b4 and after the ET.
Now it's getting a little tricky here ....... Dr Loh is coming back to KKH on the 30th Dec to operate on me. I am very touched with that because he said he's not supposed to be operating already then and he might even be over in TMC then .... I am comforted to know I'll be under the care of the best surgical hands in KKH. But he said he can't take care of me after the operation since he'll be gone.
I asked him about TMC charges & IVF cost there, he said key & most impt difference is that $3000 govt co-fund. Guessed for general gynae charges, shouldn't be too far off from KKH since I'm from TPS. But he said the stimulation jabs may be more expensive, which he kinda said he can try get the same pricing for me. So I even more touched.
At this moment, I'm toying with the thought of following Dr Loh to TMC for the operation after-care but stay put in KKH for the IVF since KKIVF could slot me into the FEB slot. If so, I will be transferred to Dr Matthew Lau. Dr Loh had already written down a memo in my case file for Dr Matthew Lau on what jab & how much to give me.... But I'll decide again after my op, after I get the detailed pricing from him. After he done so much, I don't follow him also I pai seh .......
Tromso,
Her herbs are "drinkable" even without a sweet or sour plum. Dr Zou's powdered so somehow I don't quite feel it's as "effective" as actual herbs. So far I never noticed any visible or outstanding differences ... maybe I hadn't paid much attention to it.
Aiyo ... u better don't anyhow eat food outside k ....
Oh btw, been meaning to ask you ... where did you guys get the immunocal? I tried Chinatown OG, don't have.
