hi, may i know if anyone is under Dr Jerry Chan from KKH for IVF before ?? As I signed up for IVF via gov subsidy path, will I be able to select a preferred doctor? Or doc will be fix? Thank you!
Try red bean soup or raspberry leaf tea (you can get it from an organic shop in Paragon. Not sure if it's still there though)Hi
Im going for FET. Any recommendation on any foods or supplement that will help?

Good luck, DreamscometrueI'm cycling now but I'm not with kkh![]()
No, you cannot choose preferred doc under subsidies. The hospital will fix for you...
Thanks towkayneo for answering my doubts. I feel uncomfortable not seeing him before even though I have just started the injections. Hope I will be in good hands...
@jkoh you got more injectibles than me think thats the reason why.. The med they gave me is just nice til this sun so mon they want see me monitor my follicles growth.. Also depending on dr i guess.. Which dr are u with?Mine is next wed. I wonder why so long?
Don't worry - you won't be seeing him your appointed doc that often during the cycle...it's usually the sonographer who scans you, the resident doctor who determines whether you can go for the next stage....
but why not comfortable?
I understand, like wondering if they know exactly what is going on and perhaps you may need to explain the whole situation every single time you see a diff doc. I am under private, and my doc, Tan HH had to flip my thick files to have a recap on my history and he was not around during embryo transfer, somebody else did the transferThanks for the assurance... since the start of diagnosis at KKH early this year till now, I was assigned under 'dr jerry'. however, i have never seen him before. I met different doctors (resident doc) for every reviews. This makes me feel that he didn't personally review my case and I proceeded with IVF without discussion with him, so it's kind of uncomfortable in a way.. hope you understand what i mean... I guess ladies who underwent gov subsidy route are same case as me. so i think i shouldn't worry too much.![]()

I guess don't worry too much and just chiong! Most importantly is, at the end of day, must go home with a healthy baby![]()
@dramaqueenie ya im with kkh.. How come gonal f and saizen? So far my med given are til this sunday which is gonal f.. When are u gg back for second scan?
Im with THH. I thought there should be a review earlier so that i can see if i response well to the medicine.@jkoh you got more injectibles than me think thats the reason why.. The med they gave me is just nice til this sun so mon they want see me monitor my follicles growth.. Also depending on dr i guess.. Which dr are u with?
Jia you together!!Following up with 2nd scan on 28.8, Fri.
Hi, I was like you, initially, very worried abt the side effects.. So keep looking out for any body discomfort. But, I guess that would make us even more tense. And my tcm told me that it's normal to hv some side effects as it means that our body is reacting to the medication. So, just try to relax.thanks everyone for the encouragement.. Doc has cleared my results and given the go ahead for the cycle. Had my first jab or orgulatran.. Having it for three days and starting gonal f on Thursday.. Worried on the side effects now.. Im such a worrier.. *deep breath
No worry too much. As long as he has 50 soldiers. It will be ok to procceed with icsi. Sometimes e kkh ususally like to play safe to freezetnx @mesara @chloe_ng @connie_hopeful , I'm quite relieved now. cant use the paternity package to persuade him (he's a self-employed). Hopefully after this 3rd freezing we can proceed to briefing & counselling. the nurse told me if the 3rd sample is still insufficient, will have to see Dr and review our case.
My pte gynae discovered a ovarian cyst (less than 2cm) just before my ivf cycle. He told me no-go.
But ivf doctors scanned & said ok proceed.
Bfp so cyst didn't affect. After bfp, cyst even disappeared.
May not be as bad as u expect. Keep calm!
I think your assigned or requested Dr will be with you for ER and ET, as well as any consultations needed. Scans and follicle assessment will be by duty doctor. This is regardless of grants used as it's Kkivf SOP it seems. Good in the sense it's efficient. I asked the nurse before, they handle up to 200 ivf cases every month in Kkh!Thanks for the assurance... since the start of diagnosis at KKH early this year till now, I was assigned under 'dr jerry'. however, i have never seen him before.

Hi whiterabbit, me too! But I paid to see Dr Matthew Lau. Unfortunately, get to see him once and then was told my case was referred to Dr Jerry Chan. Never seen him before and did post some queries here on how he fares.

Many others was words of encouragement though.. I do not know what type of protocol I was being place and just had to go with the flow. No chance at q&a and feeling quite hopeless (feel like pay thousands for nothing much except Google or read up forum)
Cheers! You are not alone
Harbor front aso have organic shop/ cold storage BugisTry red bean soup or raspberry leaf tea (you can get it from an organic shop in Paragon. Not sure if it's still there though)

my cyst seems to be with me throughout pregnancyIt is true that after BFP, the cyst will disappear. However, once you gave birth, or in the unlucky case that you miscarried the baby or the embryo, it will recur again. That is my case.

I am under Dr Jerry from beginning until now. True that i dont really get to see him all the time. The only time i saw him was during ER and ET and the first failed fresh cycle. Even this time i want to start FET, and made appt to see him, only end up to see another doctor. However, the doctor i saw still went to discuss with him on my next step. So eventually he still looks at my file i guess.
But i think is a norm when seeing doctors at clinic D. Everytime have to repeat to each different doctor.
Hi whiterabbits, I'm doing my ivf at Kkh too. I think I'm under a mixed plan. I've been seeing the same doctor throughout and I'm also under govt subsidy for ivf.
When I first approached Kkh, the nurse asked which doctor I wanted to see. So I believe its possible if you want to select a doctor.
Hi Cheryl, D9 means 9 days of STIM? Or it include the first few days of orgalutran ?Today is my D9 scan. Leading follicles is 12 & lining is 6. Being told to eat more protein rich food like egg whites & meat. Have been eating 1 or 2 egg white daily since last wk. Sianz is my reading bad?
Lining must hit min 8mm then they will send you for ET....eat more egg whites, say 3-4?Today is my D9 scan. Leading follicles is 12 & lining is 6. Being told to eat more protein rich food like egg whites & meat. Have been eating 1 or 2 egg white daily since last wk. Sianz is my reading bad?
swee! cyster! hahaha...u r so humorous! your eggs sure have the funny genes in themThat one is called cyster. Lol. I get so irritated with the cysts that I call them cyster. Because they keep appearing in my life. *roar*
And since I have both endometriosis and adenomyosis, I call them the sisters. Unfortunately, since it's fated, I just have to look at everything with humour to get me going.
