ZaZa- not fully recover yet. The ops is scheduled to be done on 3 April. Hopefully it goes smoothly and wish Dr Loh will give me a green card to proceed with IVF in May. Otherwise, I am thinking to change to private clinic (like Dr Foong or Pro Ng clinic) Not sure about their service and succeful rate? Anyone seeing them currently?

hi all, i am new to tis forum. i am planning to go for IVF after 2 failed SO-IUIs tis year and 1 D&C procedure last Sep. My gynae used to be Dr. Eunice Chua from TMC. She explained IVF done at private hosp could amount 12k to 14k and medisave deductible is 6k. If I were to go to govt public hosp, there is an additional govt subsidy of 3k. However, cos of the govt subsidy, heard that there is a surge in more couples going for IVF treatment at public hospitals, resulting in waiting time could be 12-18 months. I know age is catching up on me, am 37yrs old and really wish to have a baby. I honestly do not know if I should go for IVF at this age. Would really like to hear from you all your IVF experience, the journey itself and which hosp/gynae you chose, etc.
Hi boon boon, do u mean Dr l c foong in glen e? If he is the one then i highly recomend to u. I did iui twice under him and i personnally like him. The reason i want to go kkh is coz the government grant and heard the success rate quite ok. As for Dr foong he told me successful rate is abt 40percent too depending on age. If fiancial u have no constraint then i think glen e is better in term of waiting time and service. Heard prof ng also good. He delivered spore first icsi bb, which happen to be micky first child back in 2004.
Humbug, really hope u get BFP. Stay positive and rest well 2nite

Hi Greenie,
You can choose not to jab and they will still allow you to proceed. Think you have to sign a declaration form stating they kkivf have informed you about the risk and you have decided not to take the jab.
FYI, I received the form to sign when I did my FET. In the end, I did not sign the form but still able to proceed to FET at KKivf.

jane neo - i used to get tribestan from my gynae, you can try call them to check if u can walk in and buy....its Aziz Clinic for Women opposite kembangan mrt. their no is 68420220.
littlemik - welcome to the thread
definitely you should try ivf!! the waiting time is not that long.. i believe its less than 6 months. i did ivf at kk, and definitely its much cheaper than private hospital...
nesnes - welcome to the thread also
yes the drugs are cheaper at public hospital. dr sheila loh from raffles estimated my cost to be about 10k if i did at raffles... eventually i did at kk the total was about 7.5k...

so we both went for lapascopy...wife in Mar, me in April...
Finally in July-08...Dr Chen say my wife is ready to go for IVF..
at that time..Dr Chen say my sperms mobility has gone up a bit,.better than last time.
so total got 2 embroys transfer..onc belong to grade 1 & the other belong to grade 2..we are so happy embroys transfer was done 2 days later..she was give 3 weeks mc.
in fact we have to go back for jab one or two day after...for jab
but after so many medicine & inject...its could be the jab..in the backside..to heaty..so my wife cannot take it..so she having vg bad cough
during the embroys transfer....
during the 9 days...we are asked to go back for check up...Dr Chen say..gd luck we are half way to pregnant...cos her HCG is around 2.5 at that time..so we pray hard...day 12..go back check again..this time is 4.5 & above..(according to Dr Chen) % & above is consider pregnant.
but who know on day 14 she went back to check again..Dr Chen told her..your HCG is -1..she was shocked..dun knw wat to day..at that time i was not with her...cos busy that day..in fact when we went back the next visit,,we ask Dr Chen what actually happen to her..do you kwn the he give. (NO EXPLAINABLE ANSWER GIVEN). i ask him...he just look at me & see..try harder..wat do you thk about this..
you should heard about him..his charges is not CHEAP..at this time,...we have spend quite a sum with him liao..

2nd ivf start at Nov last yrs.same thing..take medicine,jab..suddenly...one the nurses ask me..have I finish the medicine.(ths is to put up my sperms mobility)...funny thing i ask her back.did Dr ask me to eat...you see this could be the comm breakdown of the nurses..who didnt do their work..okkie nvm...i start eating the medicine again...his medicine..for men we spent around 300+ for medicine...
This time round..Dr Chen my wife conditions is more better than last time.she have more than 10 eggs that is to size..but finally he only manage to retrieve 4 embroys which is grade 2.
IVF transfer 2 embroys.. 2 embroys frozen at his clinc..same thing...THis time round Dr Chen going for a meeting in Europe after my wife embroys transfer..so I told my wife ..Is this safe for you..what happen if something is going to happen ..who going to help.you..this time round we was ask to go back on day 10..but the results came out to be...1..so we ask the nurses..how come...according to nurses .some ppl can only be detected late..okike...so we go back to check again on day 14...finally answer is out again...-1. I was so angry..I dun wat to say..
This time everything is so perfect..like ...why thing type of thing happen..
after Dr Chen was back..we ask him why..same answer..no reason given again..

littlemilk, if are mentally prepared for IVF and your hubby is supportive, then go for it. At the age of 37, it is still not late. Currently, I am under Dr Loh at KKH. You need full support and understanding from hubby during the whole procedure.

hi baby...not a problems...no need to look for it...just curious abt it..
Hi all,
Just wanna to share my story. I'm very sad and disappointed today. I've failed in my 1st attempt in IVF. I have been married for 7 yrs and my kid could have been 6 yrs old now if I'm lucky. I had also operated twice on entrometrosis. Like Richard, I have been to Jurong East Clinic then recommended to Dr Chen then Dr Chew with 2 IUIs then the current IVF. My gynae suggested to try again in May but I'm not too sure if it is too early or my body may not be ready yet. She has also mentioned that I may go into early memopause, despite that i am only 34 this year as I have entrometrosis again now (very fierce kind).
Can anyone advise whether to go ahead in May or should I do abit of homework before deciding to go ahead?
Have anyone heard of DHEAS before? My gynae recommended me to take as it will enhance more eggs and prevent aging eggs which caused me to fail this round.

Richard, I understand your frustration. Money spent is one thing, it's the trust and faith that we have in the doc, is broken. To have a responsible gynae is important. I have encountered irresponsible gynae from pte hospital too and have spent quite a sum there (not on IVF though). Hence decided to change gynae.
Build up your wife's health now. She has been through a lot and she is really blessed to have such a caring and supportive hubby. You are really great

Thanks on tips for red dates
You joining us for the gathering? My turn to play baby mahjong.
Greenie
Me also 36 leh... but it's never too late, okie..
Baby
You mean you only require to inject every 3 days, then you do not need to insert tablets like Chris? How come so different practice for KKH? Lina - inject daily, Chris - inserts tablets daily, yours - inject every 3 days.
Ok, i will surely cut down on coffee, will start by half cup tom!
Last time, i use crinone as well as some other prescribe tablets during 2WW, and AF will come 2 days after stopping all these if negative. But i hope this will not happen to you.
Sunflower
Hope you coping well with your injections, good luck.
Humbug
All the best to your BT tom.
TNT
Good luck to you too.
Richard
It is really an experienced learnt.. Hope TCM will help nurse both your health, and embark to the next IVF with the right doc.
Nesnes
Never heard of DHEAS before, maybe no harm trying if it's really good and recommended by your gynae. Do you know your FSH level?

tnt, for kkh, they will check the level. chris who is doing self insertion also went for the BT to check the level. Understand from the nurse that if the level is not ideal, then need to increase dosage for the last injection. I'm not sure BT for insertion is how many days after ET. Need to check with Chris.
Maybe different hospitals have different practices. Or you want to call nuh and check with the nurse? You are having injection or insertion?
