bo bian leh.. all the tests, clomid cycles, SO-IUI, IVF all under him... I had bad experience at KKH. So not going there again lah...
erm.. think it is closer to $17k for Dr Cheng lah... if included the costs of the previous gynae and also TCM for the past year....and all the other nonsense that I bought to increase chances.. then should be close to 20k liaoz.. wah piangz! count liao then realise can go for so many holidays liaoz...
sob sob....
oh ya.. you never take blood test.. if got take, very high HCG levels should indicate multiples right... hope you get twins 1 boy 1 gal then can close shop liaoz...
btw, i just realized that I got no clothes to wear liaoz..
keep thinking that will strike soon.. then can get maternity clothes liaoz.. so don't want to waste money on buying clothes.. very silly of me.. haiz... -_-"

LFB,
2ww is the 2 weeks that you have to wait and wait after the Embryo transfer, before you get the results of pregnant/not...
Chua_family,
Hi. Welcome. TO answer some of your qns ...
1) first will be some bld test and hb sperm tests, then depending on when your period starts & if you have regular or irregular menses, he will start you on meds- pills firstm then injections , and the whole process usually takes about 2 months (8weeks) on average.
Here's a link to the full process as described by KKIVF on their website:
http://www.kkh.com.sg/PatientHealthLibrary/WomensHealth/ProblemsConceiving/IVF.htm
2) Acupuncture can start whenever you want really, asap, but it's important to contnue it while on the injections and during adn after the embryo transfer part too. Raffle's Hospital has an IVF booster package (5 sessions for about $350++) but it's expensive compared to Dr Zou etc...
3) Injections (for KKIVF) are usally done by ourselves or we can go to our nearby GP and have it done. it'sactually not too bad once you get the hang of it, and momentary pain.hubby can do for you too if he's brave enough. and can rub some ice to number the area first.
Hope that is helpful to you.
All the Best as you embark on this journey with us!

cant claim medisave. asked the nurse b4
oink oink
yes, do give her a call. The assistant Li YIng is very helpful she know the details too. Yes cannot do acu only after the menses cleared. call for appt first. Dun give up. TCM can help before ur next FET. i read an article the TCM can increase the chances another 10 -20 per cent.
Dr zou is very friendly too. Ask her should u have any doubts. Be prepared for twice weekly acu and daily med. I kind of get used to this regime after a while.

still have 30 mins more... we leave at 6...
anyway, for Dr Zou, the whole treatment is 3 mths.. so you might want to time your FET accordingly so that you can get the maximum benefit of the tiaoing..
for me, i only doing 2 months for TCM before FET as I don't have the patience
Babydust
All the best! cramp is a good sign right?
