Potato chip, i paid about $100 plus to transfer the embryos from tmc to kkh and from then on, kkh charged a storage fee of about $328.55 for storage.
You need both your husband and your signature on the form and then you bring the form to the other hospital and then you need to sign the form together with your husband and they can transfer for you, dun bother to do it yourself as u need to borrow some container to put.
And from then onwards, they will liase with dr balaji from kkh
IN short, you need to sign two times, your husband also on the forms. you doing it at kkh, is it?
if u want more information, email me at [email protected], hope it helps

Et (winky), dun noe if you had read my previous posts..my history:first kid naturally conceived and born at kkh and i had complications when i gave birth to him
then, fast forward to raffles hospital, tried iui there but failed a few times, referred to thomson medical
then did fresh cycle ivf resulted in miscarriage and then under my fren's advice and good news when she conceived under ivf/icsi, i changed to kkh and
THEN, dear doc loh whom i wld always be grateful to found out that my womb lining was STUCK together and he did a minor surgery on me
Trust me, two doctors who looked older than dr loh could not check it out in me and dr loh just did a scan and told me to do hsg and then recommended that i went for surgery
trust me the pictures that came out looked damn awful
i shld hv gone to kkh ivf long ago and after that i sort of mistrusted the doctor at tmc although he is a very nice man...
Cmon, two doctors cant even diagnose this and dr loh can and he must have a reason to operate me , correct....this thing may recur again but at least i have taken the first step to do the surgery
dr loh recommended me can try natural, i din want anymore because i feel its better to have closer control over things

potato chip, if you want to transfer out of kkh, the total time taken could be about 1 week odd, so get tis in view so that you wld be in time for your fet
but bear in mind that in kkh, they wld have to use up the frozen embryos and cant start on fresh cycle if u have them in storage there
meaning i transferred my embryos to kkh and i CANNOT start fresh cycle whilst the embryos are still there, get wat i mean?
so if you decide to have a new cycle where your RE is , DUN transfer your embryos there...

Hi tnsw,
Thanks for repeating ur earlier posting.
I've always trusted KKH Drs as I m a patient there for more than 10 yrs liao. The consultants are very experienced. Just that I find KKIVF are very understaff now, especially now that Dr Yeong has left, his patient are trsf to the rest of the drs. So, I m considering to trsf my FE from KKH to TMC.

tomatoes, i tried to recall the extra tests that i did... i straightaway did the 3 hours glucose test instead of the 1 hr glucose test (usually only if fail the 1 hr test then do the 3 hr test), also did the triple test during 2nd trimester which is usally only recommended for ladies 35 and above, and now every week my gynae visit i will be put on CTG even if i didn't complain of any issues.
chemistry, i'm now working part time, don't need to go work everyday, sometimes work from home. definitely update you all when i pop... i wonder when.... just now hubby called and said his boss's wife who is due in june just admitted to hospital liao... sigh i got a feeling i'm going to kenna induced.

ET (winky)and Potato chip, you are most welcome..
Since if you gals can make it thru to succeed thru ivf, its better to take more tests, better be safe than sorry..
westbb, wat is CTG if you dun mind me asking?
you going caesarian or wat, asking for epidural?
I had my first one at KKH and asked for epidural the first thing because i very thin skinned, one

Hello,
Just drop by to share. I saw this thread mentioned alot about Provironium. my hubby's sperm morphology was very poor - 1%. Gynae prescribed Provironium and Tribestan, once a day. Later no improvement, Urolo suggested to increased dosage to 3x a day. wah, spent $300-$400 a month on the medication. However, sperm condition didn't improve, only got worse. Then he tried chinese medicine, improved significantly within 5 months.

Morning tomatoes
The Indian couple was diagnosed of thalassemia carrier. She is very worried now and will need to do a detail test on the foetus. As for Kym, she is very paranoid when she don't have any MS symptom and the stomach is still flat.
U work late again last nite?

Wow took half day leave for shopping. No wonder so quiet yesterday. Is ok lah. Me oso omost 4get abt the show. After u give birth, u will b even more 4getful cos u hv to focus on yr bb mah
. Thats wat my colleague told me. The more children she has, the more forgetful she is.
Is this test included in our pre-IVF test huh? My ex-colleague also a carrier. So b4 TTCing, the couple had a blood test to play safe.

Tomatoes, thanks for your reassurance. the kkivf nurse told me that my chances were 50 50 percent as the levels were low
she said that if i wanted, i can get an earlier appointment with dr loh, i am very apprehensive as i know that there is nothing i can do already
thanks, trying hard not to think so much, i really leave it to the hands of God already..at my wit's end...

Hi Potato Chip
I did alot of blood test before and after my IVF & pregnancy to check for alot of things... can't remember what they are.
They said that if 1 person in a couple has this blood disorder, it is still ok, but if 2 has it, then will require more attention liao...
Btw, I still haven't recover from the backache that I got as a result of the Isetan Sales ;p

I m fine. Try to relax (but is not easy, I know) and rest more. Don't walk too much (pls don go to the Isetan's sales since is so crowded) and don carry any heavy things. You have done your best, don't worry too much. We all keeping our finger cross for u. Did you watch 1st mum last nite? Kym also very paranoid when she don't have any MS symptom. I think all this symptom depends on individual. As long as yr AF did not show face, u still stand a chance. Giving more stress to yourself will not be helpful. Cheers. Have a nice lunch, you have alot of nice food around you.

tnsw, CTG stands for Cardio-something-Graph I think 
It monitors bb's heart rate continuously and plot out a graph for gynae to read. Can hear bb's heart beat very loud one. I even recorded some short clips of it.
Hi ladies, looks like another 'no show' day for me.. still no sign of bb popping yet. talked to my mum and realised that me and my brother are both overdue babies! i was induced and vacuum/forcept at 40 weeks cos gynae said i very big liao, cannot wait any longer, then my bro was tiny so still can wait, and he only pop at 42 weeks! every nite when i woke up to peepee will examine my toilet paper excitedly to see got any show or not... been drinking raspberry leaf tea like no use leh.
tomatoes, so did u get anything at the sale? There's going to be a motherhood show from 1-5 June. Must note down to go!

westbb, thks for your explanation, yup, i think thats wat they do also is it in the delivery room to monitor the baby..if i not wrong
Its true that AF does not show still got hope but i am also very wary as the nurses said that after the scan on 25th then can know...from then on, AF will appear if indeed its a miscarr.
last year when i did my ivf with tmc, my womb lining was about 7 mm plus, tis time dr loh gave me patches and the best thickness was 7.5 mm on the day of et and dr loh said it was okay, but i read over the net that the best level is about 10 mm..so perhaps tis is the reason that things are not working out right
really very fearful abt tis low levels of beta
i din watch kym's show, sometimes too painful to watch when we can all empathise with her, very real and very personal to all of us

Hi Potato Chip
No lah, din buy much things yesterday... just tired from all the walking... couldn't bear to leave Isetan cos so much to see ;p
First Mum is a very "real" show.. talking about Kym being paranoid when she din have any symptoms - I remember the 2 weeks after I test +ve, I was very paranoid also... cos after every meal I took, I can feel the "menses-is-coming" in my tummy... really very fearful then....
Pregnancy also can be very diffcult.. backache lah, ms lah, heavy lah etc. My hubby just told me a few days ago that he hope our bb will come out soon so that I dun feel so uncomfortable. I told him, I have totally no regrets and would love to go through the whole process again by trying for no.2.... He just smiled at me...
Hi westbb
They said that our mum is overdue, we will be too. Hang on there... your bb may be coming out anytime now...
For the motherhood sales, dun if I be going or not cos parking is very difficult there. Some more it is so far away.. very lazy... what do think I should buy there?

Hi gals,
Just went for my scan yesterday at KKH (8th day of puregon). My follicles seemed to be of ok size....a number of 14mm & 15mm. So, doc told me to take another day of puregon & go back to KKH 24-hr clinic tomorrow night for the HCG jab. ER will be on Monday morning.
I've got a question. Just wondering how many eggs did you (those who went thru' IVF) get the doc to implant during ET. I'm in a dilemma whether to put in 2 or 3. I want to increase my chances by putting in 3 but afraid will end up with twins or triplets.

Hi vonvon78
Normally RE will put 3 embryos unless you are of certain age like 35 and above cos the risk of multiple pregnancies is very high for people of that age group.
I have same fear as you initially but I think you should maximise your chances... if really you have twins or or triplets, do see it as a blessing whereas some even got none.
Ultimately you and your hubby should be comfortable with the decision lor
Just my 2 cents worth...
Btw, all the best to your coming ER... and rest well..

Hi Tomatoes
Ya, I think we all don mind to go thru the whole pregnancy process since we have already gone thru the worst of it (IVF).
Hi tnsw
My RE had never mentioned to me about the thickness of my womb lining at all lei. I think for my next FET, I must ask.
Hi Vonvon
Congrats, u r hv reached the mid of the whole cycle. As for the no. of ET, it all depends on yr age. If you r younger, the chances of multiple pregnancy is higher with more ET. This is really a dilemma. If u put lesser, the chances of multiple pregnancy is lower, even the chance of pregnancy also lowered. So far, I had put 3 for both of my attempts.

tsnw, u r welcome. guess u've CTG b4 when u delivered ur first. Friday's here! hope u r feeling less stressful!
tomatoes, yeah that's why i sort of give up hope liao when i heard my mum produces 'overdue' bbs... I've only been the motherhood fair last year, but that time i not preggie yet so when i went there (hoping to catch some bb dust), the sales pple there all ignore me one! but quite a lot of things to see and promotions, can get things that u still haven't bought. and also expose yourself to some of the children educational programs available in the mkt. can go if u don't feel too tired. with ur big tummy sure alot of sales persons eyeing on u haha.
vonvon, good for u, u are one step closer to success! i put in 3 last time and only 1 sticks. we'll want to max our chances and also if *touchwood* the cycle fail, we won't be blaming ourselves and keep thinking of "what if we put in 3". But agree with tomatoes, u and ur hubby must prepare to have multiples if u put in more.

Hi Annie
How r u getting on? Must be very busy with your work? Didn't hear from u for some time. Take care.
How r u getting on? Must be very busy with your work? Didn't hear from u for some time. Take care.
potato chip, if your doctor never mentioned maybe it was never an issue before.
i remember when i went to Raffles Hosp to do my IUI, my gynae always said "yr womb lining is so thin", she said this at every iui but she never knew why..only with doc loh, then we knew it was due to the complicated delivery i had with my boy five years back
So, dun worry, its probably not an issue and every cycle the lining maybe different, maybe you can ask your RE when you are due for FET.
The womb lining can vary but i remember that last Oct, when i did my egg retrieval at tmc, the lining was so thin, i think it was like 3 or smthg or very bad..the doctor said "no point, we are wasting the embryos" and then told me to see chinese loh koon...
Potato chip, i had a miscarriage also in 98 before i had my boy and i will never know wat caused it but it has been said that the thin womb lining can mean that the embryos cannot secure properly..get wat i mean?
i remember when i went to Raffles Hosp to do my IUI, my gynae always said "yr womb lining is so thin", she said this at every iui but she never knew why..only with doc loh, then we knew it was due to the complicated delivery i had with my boy five years back
So, dun worry, its probably not an issue and every cycle the lining maybe different, maybe you can ask your RE when you are due for FET.

Hi potato chip,
i do come in and read but like tomatoes ... nothing to contribute. but i pick up a lot of info here.
you intend to rest for a few months? Tat's a good idea, take a good break, when you relax, maybe you will just strike naturally.
hi tnsw,
does progesterone help? i think they are supposed to support our womb lining for the embryo to implant.

Vonvon, tnsw here, i went for ivf last year ended in miscarriage, you can read my history in the posts here.
Just to let you know that for my ivf, i put in 2 embryos..it resulted in miscarr and i did another egg retrieval which i then transferred to kkh
I just had FET and i transferred 3 out of 4 embryos, 3 survived and they transferred three. They did laser hatching for one of them
hope that this helps in your analysis, the chances of triplets is rare, dun worry.
if you have any queries, feel free to post it here, we are all here to help and encourage each other

Hi all,
Thanks for sharing your experiences & thoughts.
I share the same sentiments as westbb. I do not want to think of the 'what if I'd put in 3?' should my cycle fail (touchwood!!).
I was pretty strong in my decision to have 3 transferred. But my hubby hesitated at the thought of having triplets. But I told him that chances are not that high to have triplets, & that we should feel blessed to have 3 instead of none. He's actually more afraid that it's going to be a high-risk pregnancy having triplets.
Well...after communicating with you all, I think I'll stick with our decision of transferring 3.
By the way, did anyone of you managed to go thru' this blastocyst process? Understand that it will increase chances of success compared to the 2-day old embryo.
I'm very nervous, but at the same time, excited & anxious of next week's ER & ET. Does it hurt after ER?

Hi vonvon
Glad to know that you are able to come down to a decision. My hubby also got the same fear as your hubby. But if you really have triplets, you can go find a gynae who specialises in high-risk pregnancy. Then you will be well taken care of. No worries lah.
Mine is a 3-day transfer... is it considered a 'blastocyst' process?
The ER will not hurt but the ET, you will juz feel abit uncomfortable.
My ER was the worst of all, cos I am allergic to the "sleeping gas" and I throw up like crazy after I woke up. That's why I hate going into operation theatre now.

vonvon, for me, i did my er at thomson twice, both times were okay,i was put on general anaethestic (sorry dun noe how to spell
)
and i slept thru
after the first time in tmc, i still went back to work but the doctor advised not to but i cannot help it, self employed, have to go back to work..
the rest of the day i was very sleepy and drowsy, any documents signed will not be recognised by the law (tis is wat the doctor told me)
anyway, the et was okay, you just have to put your legs up and let the doctor put the embryos in..
vonvon, trust me, everything should go on well if you follow the advice of the doctor and the nurses.
vonvon, take care after the retrieval, there was a lady i saw at kkh, she told me she got stomach cramps after the er because she went to drink lime juice.
then she was very uncomfortable and then after two days had to do et, she was crouching in pain and at the toilet, i tried to ask her if she needed help, she said it was okay.
So, my advice to you is not to do anything which you wld blame yourself for.
for me, i tried my best for my FET, but if anything touch wood happens, i wont blame myself, no regrets....
