blurblur, I have seend Dr Loh yet. Will be next week which is considered 6 weeks. Any early, we prob can't see anything.
renee, as for food, I try to avoid chicken and soy but didn't totally. Like when I have eating the egg white, sometimes I put a little soy sauce.
I asked the nurses and Dr Loh, they say can eat anything except herbs. I think as long as it is not excessive, should be fine.
Blurblur is right, Feb is very near only. Very soon, you will have to start your jabs again. Good too that you start in Feb so you don't feel uncomfortable during CNY.
MSH, you all so lucky...my hubby help handle the more strenuous stuff, but most other things I still do myself. He treats me as though it's like normal during 2WW...even ask me to go shopping. You will be going to see Dr tomorrow right? Let us know what is the purpose and if there is good news...continue to be bloated is good..
When the nurses saw in first week and my big stomach 2 or 3 of them keep saying good sign almost sure is +ve.
Oh, I just remembered, we went on day 7 for a progesterone test. Maybe that's what you will be doing.

Renee,
Hi! long time no talk.
Read that you're starting your FET in Feb. happy & excited for you.
As for me, i'm doing nothing in particular. Just resting, & thinking...heee...I've got no more embryos left. So if i do start, will have to be fresh IVF.
Btw, can you PM me Dr SF Loh's email add? I'm considering seeing him the next round.
Cheers!

Hi ladies,
Can I check that Dr Loh you all mention....is it Dr SF Loh from KKH?
I quite depressed. Though haven't tried any assisted procedure, think I'm going to do it very soon. After I removed cyst, my gynae Dr Suresh Nair told me to quickly do SO-IUI to conceive. If too many follicles stimulated, gotta convert to IVF. His charges rather expensive and I can't afford.
MSH,
How much u paid for your procedure with Dr Suresh Nair?
Well, now I switch to see KKH. I'm a sub-patient so different doc everytime. My next appt in early Feb then doc will decide if need 2 refer me to KKIVF. I think most likely will refer cos my hubby & I got problem conceiving....so sad. He has problem to stay erected. KK doc suggested viagara but we rejected cos dunno got side effects or not leh. Thus I think for my hubby's problem, most likely I'll hv to do SO-IUI or IVF right? I think KKH is cheaper & also can claim medisave right? Sigh...so sad...
I've been following your thread these few wks and I think I really found comfort and strength here. As I'm not alone.

Hi curious, if your treatment cycle is quite standard, it should be between $6-8k at KKH. I have calculated my costs, it's about $7k, much cheaper than other places I think.
I am with Dr SL Loh. He is very nice and very responsive to email queries. If you do have any, you can always drop him a mail.
renee, hope you get big big big belly next round!! Baby dust to all coming cycles!

hi reene,
i have not been following the food list since the last result. in fact, i eat more (esp chicken) cos' after that again cannot eat liao. but somehow, i am okie with not drinking coffee...
hi, anyone with experience with iui, my temperature chart shows a raise today, wonder if i should call the clinic to arrange for an earlier appt. i am suppose to see prof on Friday. Wonder if it will be too late....

curious, don't be sad...we are all the same. Just look on the bright side, at least we still have a chance to conceive. Like wat renee said before, as long as doctor didn't say we cannot try anymore, we should press on. In kk, the cost is abt, 7 or 8k depends on individual.
Hi all ladies,
Thank you & really appreciate for your encouragements. Yah...at least the doctor never mentioned that I cannot conceive at all..still can do assisted procedure consider still got hope right? Thanks....
Can I check with those who have gone thro' IVF...is it a mental & physical torture & physical pain too? Though I'm scared, I'm still prepared for it. As long as can conceive, I want to try it. Though the doctor hasn't confirmed that I need assisted procedure, I've a feeling that I need to. And I won't be shocked if the doctor tell me so next mth.
Btw, the ER procedure need to be under GA is it? So scared of GA!!
Thanks

Hi Curious, you have to pay cash for the medicine, scan and test cost first which is about $3k. The ER and ET costs are immediately claim from Medisave. No need to pay cash on these.
As for the physical torture, I don't think it's that bad. You just need to overcome the 1st jab and it will be like a piece of cake. As for emotionally, I was ok. Just a bit anxious about the different phases. No doubt we have to keep our hopes high but sometimes also must be realistic that there may be failures. Else will be very devastated. Just go in with an open mind...and with all the support given here, the journey is not as tough.
ER is not under GA. Just mild sedation. You will be awake.

Hi tch,
Oh the medicine, scan & test cost will end up $3k ah! Can't claim on this $3k? Sorry maybe I mis-read your posting. Or do u mean to pay abt $3k 1st, then claim later? Paiseh...I hv to find out all these & feedback to my hubby. Cos we're in tight budget now. So money matters to us very much. If we cannot claim from medisave, my husband will not be willing to go for any procedures :-(

hi curious
it's not as bad as it seems, despite the common thoughts abt it being torturous mentally and physically. it's more overcoming the fear of the unknown and expectations. like tch said, go in wif an open mind, it makes things easier. the emotional part will be the worry over the different phases but wif support of hubby and the sisters here, you'll go thru it bravely!

winter1,
i also did my first with prof, so i thot is better just to carry on with him as he will be clear of my history. During this interim period, i may want to try IUI, but it all depends on what he say during my next visit.
renee, ya, the system has been down for sometime. i also experience problem logging in just now.

Hi curios,

I was Like tch, she said: I blind in blind out hospital.. really don't know what to expect. Untill I came to know about this thread.than I learn so much about IVF.

hi i;'m back from dr's. dr did scan and said my tummy has more gas than fluid. gave me antacid for my gastric. that's all. i blur blur also forgot to ask which is better... tummy filled with fluid or with gas

Curious, sorry my explaination sounds confusing. We have to pay cash for the $3k scan, medication and test. And another $4k is for the ER and ET which need not pay in cash. Total cost is about $7k. However, we can claim $6k from Medisave...so that means I should be able to claim another $2k from Medisave to recover part of the $3k cash paid.
But I still haven't gotton any money back.
Hope it's clearer now.

renee,
i just called the clinic, ya lor, they told me may not be this cycle. nevermind lah, i will be going holiday this CNY, come back than think about it lah... who cares !!!
i know i have to ask, but sometimes hor, once i see him, i forget liao. sometimes i just feel so safe when i see him that i told myself 'nevermind lah, he knows what he is doing. leave it to him lor, ask too much may cause me unnecessary stress'... hmmm.... maybe i should question more next time...
