I used to want to have 4 but now... 1 is all I'm asking for.
 


hi, i am new to this ivf threads and spent some time reading and stil got some doubts, anyone can help me
How long is the cycle, from 1st consultation to the results of the IVF?
ALso read alot abt the needles, what to expecT?
 
Hi Lina
I'm all along with fertility doc Prof Ng SC at GlenE. Aiyo, just want to concentrate on my current cycle, if fail, still got 1 more try


hi Libby, doc placed in 3 this time round.

1st cycle(fresh) - 2 (successful)
2nd cycle (thaw) - 3 (chemical preg)
3rd cycle (fresh)- 3 (successful)
4th cycle (thaw) - 3 (??)

from above, i seems to react better only to fresh cycles...hopefully, i proved myself wrong this time round. asked doc during the ER and he said if this time successful and resulted in birth, i'm will be his first patient with 3 births ! kind of hope to be that. in fact, my doc moved from nuh and started his own clinic in early 2004 and i was his first patient to be delivered in oct 04 and the press was arranged. was auto upgraded to 1 bedder, so nice!

All ladies
i'm sure all of you will succeed one of this days, keep it up!
 
Hi equin0x, my hubby already done sperm test before at TMC, so we just show the report to Dr Loh. So he did not do any sperm test at KKH before IVF. Both of us only did blood tests.

Lina, how's your reaction towards purgeon so far?

Itjabi, yes the scan and BT very fast.. the nurse should have call you by now. hope you can promote to stage 2 soon ya

libby, hope I can be as lucky as your friend.. have twin is the best.. one shot 2 children.. hee.. My FSH level is high - 10.6
During stage 1 - lucrin injection, I never get to see Dr Loh. But the nurse told me after the scan & BT for stage 2, I will need to see doc. So think just wait for the nurse to advise you.

Boon Boon, I have went through a day surgery to remove polyp before I started IVF. Because Dr Loh say better to remove since I have to go through so much during IVF. From the report, it stated small polyp but Dr Loh told me I actually have a lot and he was surprised when he saw them. All removed! He even passed me the photo to keep. Omg.. heee.. I rested for about 1 month. Started IVF 21 days after my AF reported. Don't worry too much. The nurse at day surgery centre will help you make an appointment with doc after you woke up from the operation. I think you will need to see doc 1 week after the operation and from there, doc will advise you when you can start IVF.

sweetmama.. don't worry too much.. BFP.. hee..

earthling, welcome to this thread

When do you plan to start IVF? Regarding how long is the cycle, I can't advise as I'm still in the stage 2 of IVF. As for the needles, don't worry too much over it. Days pass very fast once you started the injection.
 
Dear ladies who intend to do ivf and have not call to book pls call early. I went to kkh for MSW 2day and at the same time tell the nurse i want to start in may but was told can only do in may menses due to overwhelming.
 
Hi all,

I'm scheduled to go for IVF in June 2009.
Was wondering if anyone is with Dr Kelly Loi?

Wanted to know if we can switch doctor?
When I went down to IVF center on Friday, the Staff nurse who went through the registration told us that we can switch doctors if we want. When I call in today to ask, the lady over the phone says I can change doctor but will be converted to Private.

If private, do we get the subsidy from Government for IVF? Sorry for asking so many questions. Need advices seriously. Many thanks!
 
Lina,

I like the say you describe about the needle is fine but the jab is not fine... haha... is she rough?

Micky,

Welcome to the thread.. why are you going thu IVF since you have 2? Could have tried natural. IVF is quite a joyful but yet painful process. A lot of sacrifices have to be made...
 
hi earthling
approximately 6-8 weeks for the whole process.
me lasted for total 8 weeks. now me on 2ww, on week 8 will do BT and hopelli BFP by then.
as for the needle, my personal experience is the stage 1 needle is painful cos using those insulin type needle, whereas stage 2 needle painless, cos using pen-type needle, very fine.
gd luck to u
 
hi ladies out there
when we on this 2ww, my mum said better to rest in bed most of time...but i prefer to sit in sofa to watch tv...is is ok? any advise
 
Hi orangey, i m starting my cycle in june 09 too but i m under Dr loh. I m under private i believe most of the ladies here are and we r entitled to the government grant of 3k.
 
Hi tee yong, i think to rest will be the best for u now. U have done a good job and now waiting for the good news soon.....

When is ur blood test gtg to be?
 
Hello Lyn,

Thank you! I don't mind paying for Private charges but because IVF can be quite costly so I thought if there wont be any subsidy from Government then I will probably stick to Dr Loi.

If Gov subsidy is entitled, I will definitely switch to Dr Loh then. By the way, I suppose 6K medisave can still be deducted right? Just that for private patients, we are paying private based on consultation charges?
