JJ, on one can tell that one... Coz everyone's reaction to the medicine is different. How many eggs retrieved, how many fertilized as embryos, quality of embryos, etc. varies from person to person. No one person is alike. probability of success is 40% at Kkh.
As for financially, it also depends if u r going Kkh or private. There is no subsidy at private hospitals. For Kkh, cash is abt 1k, the rest is either medisave or from government grant. All these if u do ur research u will know.
this is just the ivf cost. Ivf has higher chance of multiples n multiples also mean higher chance of complications. So, if u talk abt estimated cost, how to estimate the total?

Skies must jia you dun haiz(tan qi). Will check with Dr Cheng later and see how.
Hazel, try not to rest too late....shld try to get as much rest as possible. When I BPF, my mummy gfs all asked me to rest as early as possible. I don't know how true it is, but 1 told me the baby like our body system will start to develop ard 11pm+ onwards....so, if you wan to BPF, try not to have late nights...

u mentioned tt ur Gf told u to rest early when u BFP. one of the reason is also if u sleep late, the bb next time will also sleep late n that means u can't sleep early until bb sleeps. Like another Gf of mine, pregnant can wake up in the middle of the night n eat bread coz she was hungry. Then her bb also later the same pattern, she can't cut the feed in the middle of the night.. Now toddler also cannot. Anyhow, thanks for ur concern.
Singapoh, ur udon soup noodles, I asked my mum to cook for lunch today! Hehehe

Actually during my 2ww at home, I also tried to sleep early BUT.. because i already slept so much during the day then woke up late and etc, very difficult to sleep early at night. So some nights I also will sleep late. Most important just relax yourself, i guess. You def can't force your body to sleep and ended up tossing around on the bed and get frustration only. So see what best and work for you.
JJ, if you are worry about the cost but don't wanna wait too long for KKH, then can try NUH or SGH.
Generally the cost of IVF at private hospital definitely is higher. I think max depending on your dosage needed will be around $15K. You can only use $6000 from MediSave. This $15K should be only up to ET day. After that each check up and support medication will need to pay separately already.
Like for us in NUH, I spent $11K for the IVF (after medisave and grant, paid cash around $1Kplus a bit). But the progesterone injection twice a week plus check up cost around $300plus for every 2 weeks. So till I finished this 12wks, I think I have spend about $1.5K fo the check up and jab, not including the $15 that i paid to GP to administer the jab as the cab fares to NUH will cost me triple that $15.
So pray hard that you will succeed with the 1st try too.
especially if you are doing it in the private hospital. Good luck ok..

Blissful, I did feel extreme tired too during my 2wks rest. My daily activities was wake up, bfast watch tv, mid morning food, then tv, then sleep, then mid aft food, tv, then dinner, then tv, sleep. hahahah.. but i craved a lot or can say only can take soupy food. So i didn't put on weight at all during that 2 wks though practically i had 5 meals a day. hahaha..

Muski, earliest u can test is D14 since u r on Pregnyl jab. the injection is every 3 days. That mean today the medicine shld be gone already.

Blissful, all along I like spicy food. Now 2ww, I like even more.. Coz mouth very bland..
