Once you are in the IVF program you will be considered as private patient, no more subsidized.

sometimes there is just too many or no explanation... its a struggle for many of us. The truth is, the doctors can explain many reasons but we will never know what really happened inside. take care and rest well for now.

Hi Mesara, sorry to read this.... I have been in a few ang moh forums where there are cases of repetitive miscarriages in very early stages of pregnancies. I read that they take a jab named lovenox before and during pregnancy. it did helped a couple of them sustain the pregnancies and delivered ultimately. I saw the photos and was with the forum since they were suffering from M/c to pregnant to delivery. I dont know if this can help you but perhaps some additional info wouldnt hurt.....

Sorry it may sound disgusting..bt when I went toilet jz nw I kinda saw a blood clot in the pad..prev periods is nt tt crampy lik tis time..
Thank you all..bleeding has stopped and I hope it will stay this way. Hope I will have a good beta on fri as today (11dp5dt) my beta was only 114.
Mesara I was actually following your story keenly and was silently praying for you. I'm sorry it had to end this way and I wish you nothing but courage and luck for the next cycle.
Jeslyn, thank for your encouragement in your own difficult time. Sometimes everything may be perfect but we have no answers to why it didn't work. I hope you will bounce back stronger!

Does anybody know the rates for tmc acpuncture?

Hi Jeslyn, hope you will recover well and go for next try. Usually the menses after a cycle may be heavier as the support meds make the lining thicker so you shred more during the period.
As for TMC tcm, 6 acupuncture sessions package at $480. Exclusive of tcm meds which are prescribed only if needed usually in between Ivf cycles and provided patient is ok to take. If needed, the meds are $10 exc. gst per day for 3 satchets of powder form meds.

It's actually an anti clot blood forming jab. I would think our hospitals have it. Whether our doctors practice it I'm not sure

My long Long protocol was 3 weeks of d injection before Dr ordered to proceed to next step...
Once used to d injection is not really pain...just tt inject until a lot of bruises around tummy area...

My Long protocol was 6 wks of jabs. My Short protocol was 2 wks of jabs.
Long protocol controls your entire cycle. Some docs like to start with long protocol and if fail will prescribe the short one for next. IVF is all trial and error. Even doc can only observe your response to the medication and decide what's the next step for you.

Just want to share this...
I had a horrible bleeding episode a 2 nights ago. Suddenly bled nonstop. By the time I got to TMC 24 hour clinic, my skirt was soaked in blood. When I got on the 24 hour clinic bed, it was 9.10pm. 9.20pm, doc (via phone) has ordered to send me to OT directly. Then they gave me a jab on my butt near lower waist which was super painful. By the time they dress me and I got to OT, it was 9.45 and Dr. Loh reach soon after the anaesthetist put in the IV. By 9.50pm I was under GA and I believe the whole D&C was very fast. When I was wheeled out of recovery room it was 11.05pm.
I think I should have just opted for the D&C instead of the route of the medication-induced miscarriage. I really thought the whole miscarriage thing was ending after 11days. Then suddenly the whole bleeding nonstop thing happened... It was so demoralising.
Thankfully, the bill only came up to $1300 after Medisave. Cashier said Dr. Loh is very nice to me. Charged me a very low doc fee. She thought it was a mistake and even called his clinic to double check. Hehe.
The 24 hour clinic nurse was very assuring too. Put her hand on my shoulder and kept telling me it's ok.

Rest well and take time to recover. Maybe do a mini confinement if u believe in it. N yes dr Loh is very kind de if u get to know him better. Take care.

Sigh... Feeling abit disappointed now...
Just had my ER yesterday. Total 25 Eggs collected.. they injected 18 but only 3 managed to fertilized due to poor sperm quality.
Wont be doing ET this cycle due to OHSS... Will proceed with FET next time. Will be seeing the dr next week to discuss what's next.

I know it's hard not to feel disappointed. But just remember all it takes is one good one to get you pregnant.
Mine was similar. First cycle only 2 survived and BFN.
Second one I also only had 3 survived but I BFP! So it takes just one.
A relative of mine only had 1 egg in her second cycle and she BFP. Just gave birth last year.
Think as positive as you can for your future baby. Jiayou!

Thanks. He gave me the options and I preferred not to go thru D&C. Actually, it's quite common to wait for natural mc or medicated mc even in Singapore. Usually private will just tell us to do D&C cos they earn money and quick for them. I was supposed to have a follow up with him on Friday but I think my hormones messed up and started bleeding crazily.

I was supposed to have a follow up this Friday. I think my hormones messed up. I was quite sure the sac was already passed out on the first day I put the medication. Just an unfortunate episode. Some friends who had natural birth also had such episode of bleeding nonstop some days after giving birth. It's just the hormones thing.

Yeah I believe the hormones are Super messed up after a mc.
Anyone knows when will the usual period come after mc? I'm still waiting for mine to come..
Thanks dear... ya I guess there is nothing much I can change now.. except for thinking positive.
Keeping my fingers crossed..
