nctgrace, u take ur BT in the morning before 8, result by 12 noon. but have to see the KKIVF is busy.
This is a season to be jolly and full of miracle. So I hope everyone who are in 2wks will have the blessing.
JJ, if hubby really has no sperm, then i think yes, he will need to do the surgery to extract sperm. Sorry to hear your experience at KKH when finding out the bad news. For me, even choosing govt hosp but still go in as private patient because i don't want any tom dick and harry doctor to see me for every visit. Im happy with NUH service. I decided on NUH because I don't want to wait for so many months with KKH.
Like some of us say here, choose the doctor and hospital that you are comfortable with. This is a stressful journey, if every visit to hospital and gynae add more stress to you, then what's the point, right?
Touchwood, but say if 1st try to decide to do at TMC, if really fail, then 2nd try do in govt hospital loh.
I think if they need to extract your hubby sperm with surgery, they surely will extract more and freeze them. So the next time, just transfer that to do at govt hospital, can right?

esk, Congrats. twin ??
Eskimobaby, you stil got the patience to wait for your hubby to buy another test kit for you.
For me, i tested morning see faint line, i straight away went to GP to do BT.
Aft time GP confirmed positive already. Next morning tested on digital clear blue.
in total i tested 4 times with hpt for the period of 2 weeks since the first faint line. hahahaha.. Because like you, i never see positive on hpt before. So it was really something i enjoyed to see more and more, until hubby said i crazy.

Hazel, dont eat to much, save some for later.
Vi4n,
Aiyo why you did so many HPT? Waste money lei. I bought Guardian HPT. Buy 2 get 1 free. I tested on D12, was really surprised that the + line appeared so fast and dark. Really didn't expect that. My dh didn't believe me. Asked me to do another 1 in the evening. I did and same thing happened. Next day I went down do BT. Nurse told me not to do coz only D13. Maybe can't detect. But I was there already so might as well lah. My reading was very high 618 +. That's why I suspected I am having twins

Singapoh & Eskimobaby, me too. i stared and stared, then called hubby and burst to tears..
Thats the only time i cried after that i calmed down already.
Oh i bought the first response test kit from OZ. it is 3 in one and it is cheap only $12AUD. And I wanna see the word 'Pregnant' in digital Clear blue, so bought that here. but only used 1. So in total i had 4 tests loh.

Singapoh, hahaha your hubby is blur.
Yes, very emotional that first time. I have used hpt for like 10yrs never see a positive line. So what do you think?
we even thought we will cry when first saw baby on the screen, but surprisingly both of us are fine.
Hazel, i think most of us here all have the fear to do HPT but just be hopeful that this time will have different result.

I think depending what type of mom you have and the relationship with you. Not all mommy are domestic. I for one will never have my mom as confinement lady. hahahha.. my mil has bad experienced with CL because both are controlling type. So i don't want to have that experience as my sil, i decided not to CL. will just engage a maid to help my mil around.
I just pray will find a good maid agency and a good maid.

Thanks eskimobaby, singapoh, vi4n, su_yana for being kind & civil to me when explaining abt IVF.
I don't see myself as contradicting as I haven't even firmed up on a hosptial yet. I'm sourcing for infor from pple who has experienced both govt & pte hospital & will draw my own conculsions after that. Thank you very much.
Hazel it pays to be kinder to others... so much for not "affecting" the 1st timers.

Singapoh i think Vi4n has a very good relationship with her mil, she mentioned earlier they treat her like a daughter. So i guess it make sense for her mil to do her confinement.
Vi4n, but i am more comfortable with my mum. Like my 2ww, i stayed with my mum, easier to tell my mum my likes/dislikes. =p
Anyway my mil also never offers to help take care of me. =p

JJ, take your time to decide after you have all your result and consultation with the doctor.
It is most confusing time, we all understand. But once you decided and go through it, everything will be clearer. We all been there.
Singapoh, we married in 98. Though not actively try but sometimes we though maybe have then test but always no chance. After couple of years i have a feeling i'm not the type that easily get pregnant already. Then actively tried still nothing, tried clomid, nothing, then TCM for 2 years, only this year we decided can't wait any longer have to try IUI at least. So since January, we started the IUI and SO IUI. 3 times failed, so ended up with IVF.

JJ, Hazel is a straightforward person, she doesn't mean any harm
we are all here to share with one another and learn from each other's experience.
Take your time to make your decision ya. To me it is important to go to a doctor whom you are comfortable and relate to.

Singapoh, i only need my mil to cook and monitor the maid. but surely my mil will wants to be the one caring for baby. i will let her be. My pil are very protective type of parent. So i will just let them love me too.
But i'm very direct with them too. So I do tell them off when I'm not happy or i prefer my own way and they are fine with it. When first time i decided to have long r/s with hubby, i already told his family directly that i'm a very direct person, so don't get offended so easily.
anything just let me know and i will tell them straight as well. Anyway even my sils treat me more like their sister than as their brother's wife. Very weird.
Gan, just decide based on what you prefer.
I can tell you if you have CL that also only want to have her own way only, you will definitely have more headache.

Ok peace ...
My fren is having prob with MIL taking care of her bb too ... different methods of caring bah ... But bo pian she has to tahan cos her in laws stay near her.
Think no matter in laws / own parents sure will have conflict in brining up the child ...
We also will hv headache on who to take care of bb (in future) as we don't stay really near either sets of parents

gan, u wan to put bb in infant care? As a friend, I advise u not too. Bb in infant care falls sick very often. After we been through so much to conceive, we see already will heart pain one... Also, is abt 1k per bb at least... twins then 2k leow. not saying that u can't afford, but with 2k u can get lots of things for ur precious. Think abt it...
