Samirah..
I dunno whether fresh cycle and frozen is it the same or not. I didn't need any injections at all for this frozen cycle, which is quite a relieve.
At this point of time, I still dunno how many embryos implanted yet, will know in abt 2 wks time after the 1st scan
I dun really feel heavy at the tummy area leh..i'm basicially heavy all over coz i quite big size..hehe.. but ..i do have the very bad cramp kind of feeling during my last fresh cycle and very bloated.. which is some symtoms of OHSS.
Petals..
I spent abt $12k for my fresh cycle inclusive of the FSH medications.

is ur body very responsive to FSH medications..? did u use Puregon the last rd..? for me.. i spent alot on the stupid Puregon coz my body wasn't reacting very well to Puregon in the initial stage therefore i spent alot more.
if your body is reactive and dun need much of the Puregon, i think abt $11k should be sufficient for KKH. only thing abt KKH is that the Queue very long.. gotta wait..

I was also on 600iu for the last wk before my ER. My fresh cycle takes more than 20 days i think, close to 27 days perhaps?
if i remember correctly, on the Puregon injections and other medication, I've spent abt $3k+?
I remember claiming $6k from CPF, on top of that..i spent another close to $6k from my pocket..

Hi Ladies,
Does anyone experience very bad side effects when taking Lucrin injections (D21)? Thinking of travelling overseas while doing the injections and wonder if it is ok?

u r such a strong lady
u hav encouraged all of us here!! thanks sooooooo much for sharing!!! i think if all of us willing to share our own story, maybe we can make up a book. diff background, diff dignosis, but same destination. at least i will write a "book" for my future baby/babies, to show them that how much suffer we went through for them. they r diff from other kids bcoz their parents worked extra hard. maybe i shall ask Dr Loh to giv me e photos of my embryos on e day of ET. then i can put in e book. hee hee, siao already

hi, u r back! when wil u start on lucrin? think if within e 1st 2wks of lucrin should b ok as e 1st bld tes n scan will be on e D15 of lucrin. provided if u dun develop any side effect or even allergic reaction. better check check wif ur Dr and tell him/her ur departure date as well.

weiwei, i have thought about the book idea b4 while doing lucrin... very emotional.... wantedt o record down all the ups and downs of the cycles i had and thought of getting u gals to contribute too... but eventually too tired and lazy to proceed. anyway at KKH, they give u a pic of the embryos put in on ET day.
hopes: i think u calculate wrongly la.... i remember i add up all my bills onyl come up to 7.5k leh... which is already on the high side... cos b4 i started i heard of people paying 6k at KKIVF one.

hmm.. i dunno leh..i only know i kept paying and paying..haha.. i was on puregon for a very very long time.. (or at least seems very long) and on the day of ER, i was given some more special drips.. which costs a few hundred dollars more i remember...
hmmm...i think i better consolidate all my bills and count once more..hehe..

hi hopes,
I think part of the $6k u paid in cash will be covered by the 6k claim from Medisave, so you should be expecting a refund from KKH in the next few weeks for maybe 2k+?
Petals,
so far i have gone thru 2 fresh cycles at KKH and 1st cycle cost $7.2k and 2nd cycle 6k+ from BCP to embryo storage and insurance.

Hi Weiwei,
Will start Lucrin end of this month. Have checked with the nurses and they are ok with travelling. Heard Lucrin has very little side effects but just want to double check if anyone has any negative experiences.
Wah ... u will start on Monday... all the best

Hi orangedots,
just to share, i also travelled during my 1st 2 weeks on Lucrin... no side effects from the jabs. it may be good to get your gynae to issue a letter explaining that you are required to bring your Lucrin along as part of your treatment, in the event that there are checks on liquids carried on board flights. you would need to keep the Lucrin in a cooler bag with ice packs

weiwei, i thought mine is on the long side... most people i know of had puregon only for 8-10 days. one puregon cost $200 i think, and it contains 400 IU. whereas 1 lucrin can be used for 28 days. so depending on your dosage for puregon, if you are those who need only 150-200IU, which i think most girls do, then your puregon expenses will be lower.
have ur dr and u discussed your dosage for the puregon yet? who are u seeing?

btw, i hav a tiny hole in my heart, think it's from e fetal time. my heart Dr veri relax, he said since i can be alive for 20 over years, it should nt be life-threatening. i asked him that whether it wil affect my future baby, he said it wont. he also said it may due to my mum's flu n diarrhea during e 1st trimester. so, ladies, pls take care of urself as well as ur babies.

Your beta reading is good, feel so happy for you. Also heard that acupuncture is good. So you got positive after putting 3 embies this time. Think i really need to consider putting in 3 if i have. Can ask what is the grade for your embies?
hi miracle
Really touched after reading your story. Thanks for sharing.
hi koala
YOu taking TCM now? Can ask how many weeks are you in now? Safe to take TCM when pregnant , when you starting taking?
hi weiwei
Same as you also quite excited about the whole process and also puzzled why no one discuss with me on the dosage for puregon etc?? Today is my 5th day on Lucrin so hope will get to know the details soon.
Long post...no choice so many posts just in one day

thanks! hmm... if remember correctly, i've got 4 grade 1 embies and 4 grade 2 upon my ER. during my fresh cycle, i put two and it doesn't work..so..this time kiasu a bit..put 3 lor..hehe
i think acupuncture more or less got help a little.. since this time i got a positive . we have another sister who went for the same acu treatment too and succeeded on her first fresh cycle.. so.. maybe it did help somehow
but i think for acu to work.. it will take a period of at least 3 mths.. twice a wk session..

i not very sure leh..i wasn't asked to go for any progesterone test at all leh.. but logically speaking..it might.. coz progesterone level will determine whether the embies will stick on or not..and thus the chances of embies implanting and thus the chances of pregnancy and thus.. bHCG lvl will go up..
hehe.. so many thus...all inter-related.

Hi Fond
I think whether to take TCM during the pregnancy is really up to individual decision, esp in the 1st 3 months. The other important factor is the sinseh is trustworthy and you have faith in her/him. And please discuss with your gynae if you want to take TCM cos as I know some doctors really prohibited the patient to take any TCM during the IVF treatment and whole pregnancy.
Which stage are you in now? I am about coming to the end of my 1st trim.
hopes
Are you referring to me, who was taking acu?

Hmm ... can any of you gals share what made you decide to go ahead with IVF the last time?
This is really an important decision hor? Once decided, there is no turning back, and we have to be mentally and emotionally strong to take all that treatments and face the final blood test result.
I really wish i am clear about my decisions and prepared to face what's coming ...

well, i did 7 times iui in 2005, until i was much mentally distressed. my previous gyn was nt gd at infertility treatment and now when i lok back, i was not well treated. but hav to say tat he is gd in gyn surgery, no complications at all. i m 28 this yr, want t giv birth b4 reaching 30. i hav read a lot of books available in s'pore. both hubby n i realised that having a baby is part of our life, we cant n dont want t skip tat. there were times tat we feel guilty n shameful of going ivf. after understand e whole pic and many many time discussion, we realised tat it's nothing shameful to go through ivf treatment and we r proud of ourselves for so brave and perseverant.
same for u, u hav t think of all e consequences and decide wat wil u do if this happen or tat happen. also, figure out wat u actually wori is and clarify with Dr Loh when u see him. no need to feel shy of taking long time to talk to him as he is to clear all ur doubts. btw, did u try other alternatives b4?

You are welcome, I just wanna to share whatever I have been through with all the new sisters here. TTC is never easy to me until I finds this forum and got a lot of help and benefited from the senior sisters. Sometimes, even I finds that even HB also couldn't understand exactly how I feel but I know I can get the supports here.
So I hope I will do the same as the seniors sisters.
You are a very strong gal, please don't give up. You take a rest 1st before starting your new cycle, but for the time being, if you really want to switch to KKIVF, I suggest you fix an appointment with Dr Loh first see if you are comfortable with him and nowadays the q is longer than 3 months, so you can wait for your turn and for the time being to "tiao" your body.
On your question on the KKIVF bill, I spent abt 7.8k in total, CPF 6k and 1.8k cash for my fresh cycle. Like Mesh, I spent most of the $$ on puregon, cos I took 400 iu, (for age below 35, they normally recommend 200iu) for 10 days. If you don't need so high dosage, you should be able to pay even lesser. KK's puregon is cheaper than other hospitals cos they bought in bulk. I went to TMC, they quoted me for at least 14k for my condition, so KK really can save us a lot of $$ and most of the nurses are experience and friendly.
Oh ya, I am carrying singleton.
