Dr Yeong's clinic at Tanglin? I know his wife is also a doctor dun noe whether practising with him or at KKH..
Dun noe leh, i am not impressed after going to TMC although their success rate is ok..maybe i myself suay loh, womb lining thin and dr cheng cant diagnose it

Peachy, do you want to let us know some info about yourself so that i can update my "database" for everyone's easy reference, for eg how old r u, the job you in etc, which hospital, etc, it wld be great if u shared some info with us

Morning Peacy
Don't worry, I also experience such pain sometime. Just relax and avoid any cold drinks.

Hi poohy,
OIC, his wife is Dr Tracey Lim. She was the one who did the scan for me at AMC. But she looked a bit old for Dr Yeong hor. Dr Yeong looked so boyish.
BTW, are u BF your baby? Did u supplement with formula milk? Can share what brand of formula milk u use? I tot of getting a small can to standby.

chemistry, dun buy the milk powder first, wat happens at kkh is they will feed the baby with some formula milk, for eg 1 wk will be Similac, next wk another brand and it depends on when your baby is born
u seeif your baby can adapt to this milk and from there then u choose wat milk powder to buy
for me, my son drank enfagrow and from then onwards, he drank tis brand as he seems used to it

oh i see, dr yeong's sisters were from my school, one is two yrs younger than me, and the other one is two years older than me
his two sisters are not doctors, one is an accountant, the other one i cant really remember, i know that his younger sister also conceived via fertility treatment

Hi tnsw,
No leh, think nowadays, they will ask u what brand of milk powder u want instead. Also, we were made ot sign some forms to indicate whether we are going to BF, so that they will not feed our baby FM.
So far, I see so many brand, and prices can really vary very widely. That's why I quite confused on what brand to get first.

Hi P_chip,
Yes, I m on clomid this month, so I wont be taking the blood test for this cycle. I was wondering whether I should go for the blood test or not. I intend not to go then just proceed with the natural FET.
Hi tnsw,
the acupunturist is a lady CP from Tianjin. She practice at a foot reflex shop in Little india.
wow...u gals know so much about Dr Yeong huh...I only know that he has a son and his bro-in-law also take provirumn (dont know how to spell) and it works for him. so he prescribe the same for my hubby.

Hi tnsw,
Yes, please check for me cos I very confused too. I did stand at the shelf and compare all the nutrition content and seem like the diff is mainly on the DHA. The higher the DHA, the more ex. I dun intend to go on 100% BF. Maybe will subsitute last feed with FM so that bb can sleep longer at night. Then I can also have longer sleep.

I oni cook the dong chong cao once a wk. Not too sure izit effective leh. Where did u get de tablets huh? I thought u were asking for dong chong cao recommendation few days ago?
I oni cook the dong chong cao once a wk. Not too sure izit effective leh. Where did u get de tablets huh? I thought u were asking for dong chong cao recommendation few days ago?
yup, i think i asked for dong chong cao because not sure the brand that i buy for my hsb good or not
the raw one i dun noe how to cook so i nevr buy
i bot the tablets at a medicinal shop near chinatown
okay, chemistry, my fren's reply is as follows:
calista drank friso (used to be called frisolac)
nope... no right to choose.. unless you breastfeed
cos i understand from the nurses that they will use the particular brand for a stipulated period....
until the next sponsor comes along....
for eg., jan~mar, the sponsor is friso.. so all the babies born within this period will be feed by this brand....
and then maybe from apr~jun, the sponsor is similac.. and the babies from this period will be feed similac...
if your fren wants to choose the milk powder...
perhaps she can check with KK if she can buy and bring her own milk powder and ask the nurses to feed the baby with that brand
chemistry, hope that tis helps to answer your queries
from wat i understand, some milk companies sponsor and so they wld rotate the milk powder used to be fair to all milk companies

Hi tnsw,
the accupunture seesion is not really that painful when u relax. sometimes u dont even feel anything. I had about 30-40 needles poked per session for 20-30mins. the cost is $25 per session.
u can ask ur hb to go as well coz for TCM, CP always think that for infertility treatment, both should be treated at the same unless after taking his pulse, CP thinks that no treatment needed. For me, I went alone coz hb didnt want to go. At that time I was quite weak/pale looking after going thr a few major/minor surgeries. CP say I not enough blood so the womb condition is not good for conceiving.

Hi tomatoes
Me too very sleepy. Waiting for yr email reply until I 1 2 fall asleep
. Today this thread moving super slow. Time passes so s....l.....o....w. By the way, so when will u b watch yr recorded 1st mum?
Hi ET
Wow u really brave. Me hv not tried accupuncture before. My hb had done for about half a year by two different sinseh. Sad to say, no improvement at all. So I dare not ask him to do it anymore. After seeing him going thru the accupuncture, I feel so sorry and decided that I must also do something. That is why we started IVF.

after read the message board on miscarriages in tis forum, i feel that some of the other ladies had really suffered alot and our suffering could be less or perhaps not as bad as them..after reading them, i also felt like crying
so try to keep an open mind and be happy everyday
today friday lah, so i also very lazy, supposed to compile the tcm for everyone, also i din do....

Hi ET
I totally agree with you. I rather go through physical pain than mental torture. I find that if some of you really scare of needles poking, "Tui-na" is also another form of acupunture.
There is one family-run shop in AMK called "Rising Sun" that is quite popular. I did visit that shop regularly for a period and they are quite good. Actually, tui-na can be quite painful also.

Hi ET
Then maybe I was tricked by my hb lor. He looked in pain when they poke the needle on him. Make me so heartache oso. I think hor, his tolerence level is super low.
Hi tnsw
Thought de market is gd today tats y u r so quiet
.
O, for my case hor. Many sinseh commented that I hv cold womb, so hv taken many different types of chinese medicine. The JE sinseh said I hv PCOS n fabroids but so far SGH n KK did not said anything about this. The most crucial factor is my hb lah. Super bad grade of soldiers. Those sinsehs after seeing ask for awhile advised us to try IUI. So I tried twice at SGH but
. When I first saw my RE at KK with our history, she told me IUI is just wasting my $. Her recommendation is IVF lor.

I told the nurses at TMC to give my bb Similac Excellence on day 1.... however, the 2nd day ... my gynae recommended Enfalac A+, so since then, my bb had been taking enfalac. My bb was totally on FM in the hospital (day1:similac, day2:enfalac) and once I get home, I expressed the colustrum and milk using breast pump for 1.5 mths for him...
Now totally on FM.
tnsw,

Hi tnsw
The Q for this CP at Tiong Bahru can be quite long if you go during peak hours like after office hours.
It depends on your luck. No harm call to c if you can make appt 1st. Sometimes they do take in. If not, call to check the Q b4 you go down.
The tui-na shop is not meant solely for fertility issue. However, if customers have a specific health problem, they know how to do "tui-na" for us.
For eg, if I tell them, I have difficulty in conceiving, they will concentrate on the acu points for women's health.
