Hi Tnsw,
Cheer up Cheer up!!! Going do something u like to make urself happy.....like me now I m picking up my driving again - i try to drive at least 1 or 2 nite alone and it's REAL self satisfying AND SIOK!!! i also pamper myself with SPA and Shoppings ....don't keep thinking abt the Problem we had...anyway it can't be solved also as it's all up to HEAVEN. We already did our best and do wat we can.
The rest we hv no control ... So why make ourself so unhappy!!!
My TTC path was also a very difficult one and till now still i hv no result!!!
BUT life has to go on SO why not live happily and enjoy it rather than mooing over it everyday
OK start planning things u like doing now and
SAY CHEESE!!!

tnsw,
I may have miss your pass postings and don't know what you've gone through. But I'm sure it's something bad enough to affect you mentally as well as phisically. Though we may have different situations that we have to face and handle. But it will make us grow stronger and wiser.Do you think so?I too have to visit hospital so often eversince 2 years ago, till now nothing had happened.The more consider I'm only 30.I was optimistic about my IVF lately,yet....(I've done 1 IUI and 1 SO-IUI before)
My family members are all very "Productive" so far, me the only one that is having problems.We even have twins in our family.(So far every generation one pair)The more I feel very sad everytime think about my situation. But I'm not sour about not able to have one. I'm still working on it. I would like to give you my support and let's walk through this tough moment.But I never deny I was very disappointed when came to know I didn't make it for my IVF. Indeed was very sad and even got worried.

hi msh
Are you going ivf straight or iui/s0-iui? I went to poly initially about 7 years ago, they gave me referal letter to kkh, and my initial tests were subsidised. COnsultation fees's about $20 plus ( private's an average $40 plus or more ), medicine and test can save u abt 50 percent. I think so
There will be no subsidised for minor operation to check ya tubes or etc.
I changed to a private patient at kkh and the consultation is abt $40 plus, which is of no difference when I changed to a private clinic outside. At kkH, even paying a private rate, i had to wait a long time, and the time slots were not very flexible even on weekdays. I spent an average of 2 hours there most of the time. Eventually I switched to a private clinic outside.
Anyway, ivf is cheaper though not subsidised at kkh compared to outside private clinic. If you have time and years to wait, not a bad idea to start as a subsidised patient.

thanks for your reply again pebbles.... i was thinking my childish qns are lost amongst your moody days and SH. i know it's stresful going thru all these procedures.... so to all the sisters going through it or gone through it, I salute you. I admire your strength and wish that i have the strength to pull through too at the end.
well, i don't really have time to wait... already passed the 30 mark a few years back :-( and only realised that we need assisted contraception last month..... very lost and worried.
If we can do the procedure in december then, i may be able to do it at kk, cos i'm teaching and can use my school vacation waiting at the clinics... but don't think it's possible right? very rush hor.... think the earliest i can do any procedure, after all the tests will be around jan/feb already,... by then very busy and stressed. where got time to sit and wait at clinics. sigh.
waht kind of tests are normally done? and normally how long after your first consultation at the clinic we can start the procedure?
i'm torn between choices.... think what i need is to decide on the specialist first.... and i need lots of advice here.... i know of a colleague who did ivf years ago and success but so paiseh to ask colleagues!!! i'm so scared i ask today and tomorrow all colleagues know about it.

hi msh
Try at private clinic if time is one factor. Is ya menstruation regular? I really encourage you to start to build up ya body and prepare ya womb first during this waiting to do any assisted programme. Doc will advise you what programme to go for after ya initial tests. Ya hubby need to do a sperm analysis, and you have to do blood tests to exclude venereal diseases such as syphilis, HIV, Hep B and AIDS. A rubella antibody test will also be carried out. You will be advised to have a rubella vaccination before the IVF procedure if you have no immunity against it.
Quickly get an appointment first, then maybe if u r doing ya ivf, it maybe be in time with ya dec hols.
cheers

tnsw,
Got your PM...Now I know more about your problem. Yes I definately can be in your shoe to see and feel the same way you are. I been "Desperate" all these while due to me and my hubby's condition for not being able to have a child. He also have low sperm count problem.Which I have adenomyosis.It's no fun keep visiting clinics and hospital for a reason that it should be happen in the natural way.What can I do? Keep trying, till the day Dr says :"SORRY YOU ARE HOPELESS."

Hi gals
Long time never come into the forum. Really very very busy with works. I wonder if anyone of you still remember me. Anyway, I have started my IVF programme 2 weeks ago. I am into my 2nd day for the Gonal-F injection now. I am expecting ER in 10 to 12 days time. Is it ok if I go back to work one week after my ET? I need to be back for deployment meeting.

hi tnsw,
not sure if u still remember me? i understand the pain tat u've suffered. it's so much worse than just getting negative result. u actually see "+" and heartbeat and then it's gone. it took me almost 1mth before i recover fm my 'drepression". I know it's not easy but WE HAVE TO BE STRONG! AND HAVE CONFIDENCE!! most impt is to keep your mood up i.e. be happy. then things shd turn out fine. Let's support each other thru this diffcult period!! Cheer up!
hi Ad,
hope u still remember me. need your advise. planning for FET in Dec. can u explain your protocol to me coz i think mostly likely i'll be doing an artificial cycle also. thanks!

Hi Msh,
I have done 2 ICSI n 1 FET at kkh since begining of this year. Since u hv taken most of the test recently, kkh will not ask u to repeat the test. so in your case, it is not necessary to get a referral from polyclinic ( just like my case). As in my case, I have many friends who were successful with Dr Sheila Loh (head of kkivf)so I chose to see Dr Sheila Loh as a private patient(anyway as soon as u embark on yr ivf journey in kkh, there isn't any diff between private or subsidised patients).Conincedentally,I went on the 1st day of my period,after going thru my case, she suggested i start right away. immediately, she called the nurse manager and the chief embryologist to fit me into their schedule .my first appointment with her lasted 1 1/2 hr and it was on a new year's eve.so i went back the next day and started my scan and puregon injection.though my 1st ivf was not successful but i was still very comfortable with Dr Sheila Loh so i went back to her for my 2nd ivf. I must say she is very receptive to open discussion, i went in with tonnes of questions and she answered patiently, this appt lasted abt an hr. so for my 2nd ivf we tried a diff protocol. so it is not true that u hv to wait very long to start your ivf at kkh, look at me, i did 2 ivf n 1 fet all in 9mths.all these were done at my preferred timing. so if u want to start ivf , u should explain to the re yr situation, i guess they will try their best to comply. it will be good if u can see yr re soon so he/she can advise u on the protocol and when to embark in order to suit yr schedule. Hopefully this will help.
