Hope, thanks for the info. Even thou we cant be cycle buddies, we can still support one another.
Let's JY together.
May I know hv you seen Dr Loh at kkh before? I read some sisters wrote that Dr Loh may give special rates to his patients who followed him to TMC. Not sure how true.
Now waiting for my menses to report so that can make appt at TMC.
Hi Sashamama, how many weeks are you now? Coz if scan too early, sometimes may not see hb yet. That was wat happened to me during my first pregnancy and I only manage to see bb's hb one week later.

Babyjourney, i asked TMC nurse about the special rate also. she told me the charge is by TMC hence the rate is to follow TMC.... ( by the way, i never have appointment with Dr Loh in KK, maybe there have special arrangement for sistas who transfer from KK to TMC.) but i do learn from TMC nurse that Dr Loh is trying to bring in the discounted medication so the $$ maybe lower abit....

Nurul - are you on basic prenatal vitamin supplements? Can get from pharmacies - GNC womens prenatal, blacksmore conceive well, etc. Go back to basics - eat lots of fresh veg & fruits, still can take but reduce caffine (coffee, tea, colas), a lot of our mee dishes dun have balanced nutrition diet so when eating just choose those w more balanced food groups, etc.
Many of us are mid & late 30s, so it's up to the One above

How does the co-funding actually works? Total cost for KKIVF is about 10K? 3K co funding and 6K medisave and 1K cash? Does it work in this way? I can't really remember what I did for the 1st time. because i used my husband's medisave!

I took royal jelly before while TTC naturally. I did ask doc whether it helps improve fertility but she said it's not proven although it is commonly used in arabic countries in female with pcos. After that I was on clomid for 2 cycles. The scan showed no ovulation but presence of a cyst and i went for surgery to remove it. I do not know whether it was royal jelly or clomid or maybe both that caused the cyst but I think it's better to be careful.

Gals,
Anyone interested to get immunocal? I bought a box previously but I can't stand the taste. Only took 1-2 packets and didn't continue. Forced hubby to try but he also didn't like it. Now left 26 packets. I bought it from OG at $100 for 30 packets. If interested I can let you have all at $60 and will bubble-wrap and mail them to you. Expiry date is Jul 2012.

Rabbitpig, big bear hugs. It's normal to feel despaired n cry if u must. Take a break and go shopping movie whatever tat makes u happy. But after awhile u must try to pick yourself up and cheong again ok! Jia yo
LuvNhope, him and the nurses very funny ho.
i asked the nurse on 30th Dec, where to buy Lucrin? because perviously in SGH, patient needs to buy drug from clinic and bring back to IVF for injection. TMC nurse said no need, as the doctor is going to buy the drug from somewhere cheaper and bring it back for me to inject. the nurse said they see nothing and heard nothing, so just follow... LOL

Hope, his pte clinic is "O&G Specialist Clinic" at 5th floor. Same as TMC Ivf centre which will move to novena centre when it is ready. His pte clinic will start in January & will see O&G cases. Ivf patients once pregnant will be converted to O&G cases, same as KKIVF now. O&G basically means all women related problems & wellness. Including health check up, pregnancy cases, etc. In his own pte clinic, his charges are decided by him. He pays rental to TMC hospital for using the Space there. So when he is in full swing, he will see patients at both his pte clinics n Ivf clinic. The latter he has to follow TMC charges. Is the same as TLC clinic on 3/4th floor of TMC. Dr Paul tseng sees O&G cases there but do Ivf n see Ivf patients at Care, Paragon.
His pte clinic also has night clinics 2x a week. If I m not wrong, the only pte clinic there that has night clinic. Yes, u r right, he has 48 hrs there. He still jokes that he goes pte practice to semi-retire!

Hazel, I can't agree more! He's the best doctor I've ever met so I'm pretty sad I can't follow him. Only can hope n pray my toto or 4d open so I can switch over to him! hehe
Thanks Ganie! Let me check with the nurses again when I go for my scan next Monday if they are open through Xmas period. Because if they are, I wanna try my SO-IUI again (I just failed my last try on 29 Nov, menses came 12 Dec). Cried so hard. If they reject me, I will request to start my IVF in Jan and be ready for the procedure in Feb...which is why I am joining this thread to read up.
Jia you everyone... Hopefully our Xmas wish for a baby will come through next year (delivery time)!
Hi Rabbitpig, just cry it out. Then stand up again
You have done your best and took up the chance, the rest is fate.
