develyn,
The 1st IVF i have more eggs abt 21 but only 4 fertilise. Transfer 2 and kept 2. Also went thru FET with only 1 left as the other 1 din survive the thaw.
This 2nd IVF i only got 8eggs. I did go thru acup with Dr Zou and went massage every once a week. But i cant blame the acup and massage as during my lucrin stage my brother was very sick. The stress was too much for me. In fact, during my puregon stage i'm sorry to bring it up here he passed away. I have to arrange everything as my parents has only 2 of us and is very stressful. I can only blame its not the right timing for us.
My hubby and myself is prepared for the result. Plan to have our last round of IVF if it fails again.

Hi BlesswBB ,

Hi Gals who have doubt on Dr Zou herbs charges :
I realise that the charges of the medication depends greatly on the medication given to every individual.. it might not be the same.. Mine is also different from you gals.. As long as it works , just drink it... haha..
Hi Jas ,

How much are you paying for the insurance with Prudential ya? Actually I haven't bought mine leh ... is it too late?? Booohoooo. Cos I heard of this only recently from my friend. But she bought hers from Aviva from HKG. And hers cover everything. Think she's paying around USD1500/annually. It's just that she got pregnant after 1st MC before the 10mths kicked in.
Ladies,
Stupid qn .. but does Dr Zou accept Nets payment at her clinic? Or do I ahve to lug a gunny sack of cash when I go visit her? Hehehehe ...

Hi sierra,
Dr Zou appointment easier to change but Dr Tan is quite difficult. If you are free, can change Dr Zou timing to another date. She mention that she has a few patients who don't speak mandarin and she will take note of when they come. She makes sure they are not the last patient so that someone can translate. And develyn, she remembers you as you wrote down the question to ask her on the 1st visit last week. She only accept cash but there is a posb atm on that row of shop houses.
Hi babylou,
don't force drink the herbs. Dr Zou has children patients too, so i guess the herbs are adapt to suit kids. That's why now my hubby enjoys drinking the orange taste medicine. You might like to tell Dr Zou about getting the less yucky medicine.
Hi Snow White,
if you get more days, she will charge accordingly. $8 per day.
Hi BlesswBB,
sorry about your brother. Do stay positive for his sake.

Dec,

hi dec,
just to share something, I just read from a book on anger management and food nutrition. It mentioned that corn nowadays are not advisable to take as the growing of corns is very different from in the past, due to the chemicals used. Corns now very often will lead to body allergy and sensitivity, such as eczema and rashes. It has bad effect on anger and stress management. I am quite surprised to learn about this. Have stopped taking corns ever since then.

Hi BlesswBB,
So is the accupuncture painful, can i just take medicine and skip the accupuncture? You mention the med in packet form, is it those herb and i have to boil myself? During my first consultation, she'll straight away do accupuncture. Sorry too many questions for you.
Read about your bro mishap..It's tough not to be sad but at the same time you must also take very good care of your health to take care of your parent too. Hope you'll succeed in your next round of IVF. I do admire your courages of going thru so many round of IVF.

ya, i am with private hospital (thomson fertility centre). hubby stayed in the OT with me throughout. he told me the entire procedure only took 10 mins, extraction was 2-3 minutes, very fast. when i asked him how he feel, he said felt heart-ache seeing me lying on the bed unconsciously. i guess it works!

Oh ... yours is pegged to your main policy. Ok, I read about prudential's policy. The one my friend had from Aviva is not pegged to any main policy (so not like a rider kind of thing). Hers is solely for pergnancy kind. According to her, she can claim for medical check-ups too.
But anyways, for us, when we sign up for ivf (esp at KKH), we also have to sign some insurance rite? But i think that one only covers for like if got complications? Won't be able to claim for like delivery charges etc rite?

Hi all,
As you can tell, Im very new to this board. I have been on 150mg Clomid, and doc says that if this does not work, we will talk about IVF...How is SGH with IVF? Im just a bundle of nerves right now and thats definitely not helping with the process :/
Your feedback will be greatly appreciated

Hi zaza, I standby M&M or fruits whenever I take Dr Zou's medicine haha
Hi Lina, I told Dr Zou today that I don't like her medicine, she mention it's bitter because it is more potent. She will change another one after I finish this lot. She said the new medicine is less bitter. She detected irregular heartbeat for my hubby today, ask him to get ECG done tomorrow. I am quite worried, hope it is nothing serious!

hi all,
I'm new to this and I think my wife has also joined this forum (she forwarded me this link)
my wife and I had decided to try IVF at KK after she was unsuccessful in conceiving naturally for the last 3 years or so (after two miscarriages).
We started the first cycle beginning of this year, although the first stage was smoothsailing, the second stage turned out to be a disappointment, as my wife only produced two eggs after injecting 600ml of puregon for 7 days. The size was just 10mm and 7mm, and even after two days of injection (of 700ml) the size grew to 13mm and 8mm. We were advised to declare unsuccessful for this cycle, and now we are waiting to see our gynae tomorrow to see what/how the next cycle going to be different from the previous, and what else can we do to improve on the result.
My questions are;
1. Is it common to have first cycle resulting in poor egg count, and then next cycle good egg count and quality after some 'fine-tuning' by the doctor?
2. What other options can we consider, we have basically exhausted all options (including visiting TCM at Thong Chai and Marine Parade for almost a year)
Lastly, this is more of a rant. While my wife was on stage 2 of the IVF cycle, her boss told her that if she needs to take 2 weeks of MC during the IVF treament (I think it's for the stabilising of the embryo after the implant), she will need to resign because the company cannot afford to have her missing due to the poor sales, etc. I hope that what goes around comes around for these idiotic bosses....
Of course, I rather that she loses her job than having a failed treatment, but alas ....

Hi nancy and bee,
all the best for your ET.
Hi babylou,
hope you will be able to accept the new medication. Taking the less potent is really much better than totally not taking. Your hubby irregular heartbeat, could it be due to stress or insufficient sleep?
Hi heart,
welcome
Hi jk,
your wife conceive naturally before, could it be this round of ivf, the medication is not suitable that's why the eggs did not grow fast enough? Her boss is really mean, what kind of logic as not being able to take mc. And mc and hospital leave should be entitlement.
