Yvonne, Renee,
Went for consultation, preparing for fresh cycle mah. As expected must do test to check my womb,ovary if next menses come. Dont say i kiasu ok, cos if really dont strike must wait a long time for appt to see doc. At least now i hv the form to do the saline sonogram next mth, result will takes a few weeks. There was no patient before me, and was just waiting cos Dr is in the meeting.
Dr Sheila showed me the face like she can feel i might not hv gd chance but of course she never say. She just approved that i take appt even before FET. She is really a nice lady. Of course i still keep some hope for this round. This test can tell if i hv any problem that could cause me to hv problem with implanataion. Wonder why my doc did not propose. But i cant do this test now cos i am going to do FET next week.
Aiya anyway now i feel happier. At least if there is problem can cure it before trying and trying.

didi, renee,
who is going to SFO and NY? I love NY, full of shit, full of buzz, full of excitement, full of strange people, just like what you see on the movie, with all the yellow cabs, only thing that i hate abt NY is the constant police siren, every few mins or even more flequent, hotel rooms can hear well too. Lots of factory outlets and century 21.
SFO has nice weather but hate walking the hilly road, only remember the fisherman wharf

BB,
which tooth? the front one never lah, use denture lor, easier to wash next time too, my mum can talk to us whenever she is brushing her teeth, becos hers are all denture
if front one, jialat liao, expensive to get replacement. And sometimes like IVF, you got to wait for a long time to get your replacement but at least this one, wait long sure can get one

I was jus telling didi,i miss nyc. I think i a bit wierd la, I kind of like the police car siren. hehe.... love to have bfast in nyc(but hate the tea in US, it taste v lousy). nice to see ppl rushing for work from the bfast joint. especialy winter, though it v v cold, but the feeling just very nice.jus walk n walk thru bloaks to blocks, hunt for your shops. when they having sales you are going to go siao! the most memorable thing I ever do in nyc is, I skate at rockerfella centre. every winter they have the skating ring open to public. I siao on, brought my own skate there.
SFO is very nice to hold hands wt hb to stroll, while doing shopping. din really like to shop at macy's though. I find Norsdroom is nicer to shop. yes, fisherman's warf is nice. aft bfast, can walk all the way there from union square. this place also can shop till you wallet burn hole. love to go china town over there.
LV, the last info I got is Amsterdam the cheaperst, wt the VAT refund. But i think paris could be still the cheaperst(not v sure though). I never like to buy LV from paris leh. the Q is damn long and don lik the staffs there. So far the best is Amsterdam and cophenhagen.They are v polite and helpful. Frankfurt staff also not bad.

Yvonne,
found this on the web -
A saline infusion sonogram (saline sonography) is routinely performed to make sure that the endometrial cavity (inside of the uterus) appears normal. Benign uterine growths, such as endometrial polyps or uterine fibroids, may develop in the cavity and create an environment that is hostile for implantation. Scar tissue may also be identified with the saline infusion sonogram. This procedure may be done as part of an evaluation for recurrent pregnancy loss or done prior to an IVF cycle. It may also be done to evaluate causes of irregular or very heavy menstrual cycles and some types of chronic pelvic pain. The saline infusion sonogram is scheduled early in a menstrual cycle, just after your period stops but before ovulation usually between days 5-12 of the cycle.
The procedure is simple and usually takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
v A speculum is inserted into the vagina and the cervix is cleansed with an antiseptic solution.
v A special catheter approximately 1mm in diameter (about the size of a single strand of spaghetti) is inserted and slides through the cervical canal.
v The ultrasound probe is placed in the vagina.
v Sterile salt-water solution (saline) flows through the catheter into the uterine cavity. This distends the endometrial cavity and allows the physician to see the entire cavity on the ultrasound monitor. You may experience mild cramping at this point.
v Several images of your uterus will be taken during the procedure, pictures of your ovaries may also be taken.

Ad,
We think alike la! Today after waiting for 1 1/2 hr i crave for sugar lor. So go and buy Ricola Pearls (those jelly type)....... Just talk to my dentist, he said jelly sweets can break my tooth meaning is about time to hv it fix. Dont know why each time before IVF i must fix a tooth.

hi hi,
i am pretty new here. posted a few threat at 2WW. Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best
just to share, i highly reconmend Cheecake factory located at union square in SFO. I think they might have ourlets somewhere else. the cheesecake and mud cake there is superb.
LV is abt 25 to 30% cheaper in Paris. If i am not wrong, Lv is cheapest in Milan follow by paris but i can be wrong.

Yvonne,
THink for LV in Paris u can still get around 17% rebate. I choose to see Dr Sheila since she is the head. She based on the cells fragments, she asked why my doc did not gv me a choice if i want to freeze them or not. For KK they will asked the patient first.
bba,
I am not sure if it is must for kk to do this test but since i am doing ICSI so no need to be bother with blocked tube so this SS is a shorter version of HSG (is it call HSG?) the price is also cheaper, only about $200

BB,
mean to say that there are lots of fragmented cells in your embryos and yet your private dr freeze it which he should give you a choice cos those frozen embryos are not very strong anyway? NUH also never ask me leh, thought decision usually leave with embryologist cos they know best.
