AP, the medisave part works the same as when u go to any govt hospitals. i cant remember the exact numbers.. is it $6k for first attempt, $5k for 2nd attempt and so on??
The medisave part is deducted from the ER/ET procedure cost. So for all the purchase of drugs, have to pay cash.

Hi Baby79, today is D11 post ET. Too late for implantation right. I was told by the nurse that implantation will happen 2-3 days after ET. Anyway, the pain comes and goes. When its here, I feel so down, when it goes, then I feel there's still hope.
Nevertheless, I will continue to talk to my darling pooh poohs (that's what I call them!)
I think I will just wait for BT day and not do HPT. Don't think can take it if its negative.
Pandawife - ask you hor... when you had MS during 2ww, did you really throw up, or only have nausea feeling? I have also been having some nausea feeling, buts it not very bad, and I can still eat. I don't throw up, just have the feeling.
Cupcake - hope all goes well for you later and there are no complications. Do take care of yourself and make sure you take the time to heal. Once you've rested for a while, then can try again with renewed spirit.

To the ladies who shared their experience at KKH,
I went to 24 hrs at KKH when I had spotting at 5 mths. Was asked to see dr loh at his clinic straight away. I lost my girl n had to do d&c after delivery. Dr loh concluded that I needed a d&c only after He reviewed my scan results after delivery. After the whole ordeal, he told me I need to do some detailed checks after my menses return to check the womb throughly to ensure no scarring after d&c. Thus, there is proper follow up & dr only do d&c when necessary.
When I was warded, I recieved professional n caring attention. M not sure if it is due to the class of ward though..
At my initial stage of ivf, something happened. I called dial for a nurse hotline on a Sunday. An ivf nurse returned my call thereafter n informed dr loh abt it. He ordered me to do some blood tests that very night at 24hrs. When I arrived on a sun night, the nurses there hv all been informed. No questions or explanations were needed.

Hi gals,
I'm now packing up and having one -two crackers cos I must by nil by mouth by 10am. My op's at 4pm but gotta be at hospital by noon for last scan and then dilation.
I don't have that nausea feeling in the morning these few days. Fri HCG 54000+, Mon 52000+, ystday 51000+. Now is end of 7th week. But i still vomitted as usual last night.
So gals, maybe for some of you, your nausea is just at the beginning stage. The vomitting comes prob when your HCG is very high. Maybe like in Pandawife's case where she's embracing 3?
Even w/o BT, i can tell my HCG is dropping cos i pee less, am less hungry, am less tired.
Do take care and be thankful for all those who have your pregnancy symptoms. Jia you!!!
Just Faith,
Very sorry to hear abt your experience. It's really heartbreaking. Big big hug.

Gan,
i had dizziness sometime between 3rd week to 6th week. (according to doc's calculations, my baby stopped at 6th week 2days) It's ALSO another pregnancy symptom but not all get it. But sometimes, it could also be your medication. If you just started a new med, then better inform your doc. But if not, just lie down more and rest. But don't sleep too much when you're dizzy or you'll end up with headach, okay? Take care.

Nope, just checked, didn't mix up. I'm saying i'm sorry that you had to put up seeing your neighbour had a "positive" confinement while you suffered a "negative" one. So big hug alright?
I will be having a confinement but the only diff is, i need to bathe still!
Thanks blissful fate.
Maybe the env makes you wanna eat? I found that i could eat lots when i'm outside but i see food at home, sian.
Okay, that's it. Gotta bathe and go.
Ciao!
Catch up with u all in two-three days time. Not bringing this laptop to hospital. Gonna sleep there.

Blissful, I hv still not come to term of my loss.. N I am further sadden when my hormones r in a mess n still think am pregnant.. Also I can't fit into most of my pre pregnancy tops & bottoms! It is not just fats.. The body frame has expanded... I m still wearing my maternity bottoms now... No wonder the anaesthetia doc at d&c told me women's body undergo changes once after 14 wks... Sigh....
Hazel, I am sorry to hear your about your loss.
Is the spotting the reason of this?
I hope everything is well with you.
Judebab, only feel the sore sometimes only. Not all the time. I am ok with the suprefact. Maybe i feel abit agitated
When are you going down to NUH again?
I am going there next Thursday.

GAN. Yes next sat 8 week scan.
Hazel, I can understand the feeing. It will definitely take time to accept it. In the meantime, do take care of your health too.
I took time to accept my miscarriage too. Especially for those going through IVF, it takes a long effort for us to get pregant and of course the loss is a big blow to us.
Agree with you that ladies go through lots of changes with pregnancy. Though my miscarriage was 7 weeks, seems that the weight i put on i the short time cant be loss. Infact, i did put one or two kg more.

Just faith, yes is me. I dunno wat causes the loss. No one knows n dr loh was surprised also. He run tests thereafter, can't find anything wrong to my daughter. I dunno if I lost her at bintan, no bleeding but just strong movements when I was there. No pain either. Is just my own guess that I step on something dirty when I was there.
Suyana, I m on medication now to reset my hormones. Dr loh said is hormones mess up coz he scanned n womb looks fine.. Though can only confirm after menses come n I do detailed checks of womb. I m taking duphaston now. The same I took at 1st trimseter.
Bliss, I prayed to HIM faithfully. He blessed me with a bb but Also made me go through the pain of seeing her dead... I dunno why HE is sp cruel to me

Hazel, I know u are angry now. Things happen for a reason.
Cupcake,
Ya. I regret coming for this trip too. Hai~ I have previously asked my doc if I can go fo9r the trip and she keep telling me its fine. If she had told me a firm NO, I would have deferred my trip cos this trip was already postponed to 1m later previously cos I initially booked for a bangkok trip. Anyway, its all over. I plan to see the gynae again tml morn and ask if I can fly back as scheduled tml night tgt with my frens.
Ladies,
Anyway, I heard from docs that IVF babies are often more fragile then naturally conceived babies. So we must really take good care.
Pandawife,
The HK gynae told me that due to the blood clot beside my womb, I might have a higher possibility of premature baby too..

Hi Gals,

Hi Dec - you mean you took a home pregnancy test? is it negative? Don;t worry about it, sometimes its too early to tell on HPT, and sometimes HPT may not be accurate. Best to wait till BT day and do the BT.
As I understand you can do another round of FET about 2-3 months after your failed FET. When FET fails, wait for menses to come. Then wait for the next month menses to come also (this one is considered clean menses). Then can start of the BCP for one month and then FET in the next month. Eg, if this time fail, your menses will come end May. Next menses come end Jun. Then start BCP in Jul, FET should be in Aug.

For me, I'm starting stimulation jabs next week, kind of scared. Start worrying abt the quality & quantity liao. Heard fr u gals that Dr Loh is on leave early Jun, that means he may nt be the one doing ER & ET for me, kind of worried. Anyone kn the exact date he will be away.
Gals, can I check with u for ER & ET can I request KK to provide hospitalisation leave instead of MC?
Thxs!

tickles - what's done has been done no point thinking back on it .. now is to look forward & rec the best possible care for bb ... agree that u should take leave till 1st tri over.
Regarding the kk 24hr clinic issue, seems like different ladies getting different treatment there ... I've been to 24hr clinic & so far so good for me. But if I were to face those doc who brush me aside I most prob kick up a fuss & change doc ... regardless of the % of ivf success rate they should treat all bleeding case seriously cos it makes a difference!! How can they say since bleeding = gone case ... its their disregard for such cases that makes it gone case !!
Anyway, if 24hr clinic turns such cases away there is always the option to go private hospt to seek help. Will def hang on till the last possible moment

December, think day 10 is abit too early to test on those Internet strips. I tested on day 13 also using Internet strips. The line was so faint. So I went to buy clearblue. The result show up very quickly within first min. Though positive, I wasn't very sure as I had pregynl jab. N I think it may affect the hpt result. Hehe
