My gonal F in my last 2 cycles were 600iu which is the highest liao...coz i am a poor responder, meaning poor FSH..even with such a high iu, i only got 6 embryos..i am going to have that 600iu for 12 days for the next round..if enough embryos, then reduce dosage, but gyane predict the result will be almost same as last round..as for IUI, i have tried 2x before but at another hospital..so, tot of trying it under my current gynae...my problem is hard shell...so have to wait till after semen analysis this tues...if good, then iui, if not good, then IVF...he also recommended 3 embbies to be put in if i have that number..coz 35 and above, he said the chances of bfp really drops a lot...

I am not sure abt govt hospital...have not tried...not being biased here, though i also work for cheng hu..but hor, i dun like cheng hu service, quite slow and red tape...sorry to offfend many pple...

Rashal, actually my follicles not growing very well wor. That's why dr loh increased my dosage of puregon to 300. Controversial since the young docs inside the kkivf this morning did not want to increase coz they worry about ohss.
Oh well, I can only pray that Monday scan tells a different story and I go on to do er/et next week. Think I can't avoid ohss, only hope it's not so severe until I cannot proceed.

U at kk today for ET?
Im the one sitting alone outside the ultrasound scan room after my ET for quite sometime cos hubby go collect medicine
12bmom:
I dun know if this helps in follicles growth, maybe you can check with Dr zou next time u visit her. As I was taking raw egg white, during my 1st scan, Dr zou says I got alot of small follicles, hopefully it can catch up by the 2nd scan, so I ask her for our part, what can we do to help it to increase fast, she said take more protein. So I took 6 egg whites and 15 quail white 4 days all the way to my HCG(Previously I was taking 4 egg whitw n 10 quail egg, all raw). So I had the 1st scan on fri, then the following monday, most of my follicles catch up le then I have HCG on Tues nite le. So Dr Zou says eating raw is more helpful than taking half boiled. you may wanna double check with her..

Hi all, i been a silent reader here for a while. Been Reading up tips and info before i embark on this IVF journey. jus a quick background of me. I been TTC for coming 3 years. Did SO-IUI back in July 2010 but of coz didn't make it. I m wif TFC. so thinking not to waste anymore time and money. DH and i decided to go for IVF in nov last yr.
But due to the TMC ivf baby mixup, we postponed the cycle. But till now they r under suspension. I called them up few days ago and found that they are also unsure when its gg to b clear for them to peform ivf and pending clearance from MOH.
I been waiting to start since last year, I do not wish to wait further hence now looking to switch hospital so i can start. I was recommended to go SGH, but i m not sure of the review of the centre and which doc to go to as well. i m also wif dr zou as well been gg to her for 4mths now.
I'm sorry for the long post. Would greatly appreciate if anyone of the ladies here can share any comments or reviews of SGH ivf centre and recommend good doc there that i shld c. thx lots!

Thanks for sharing ur GonalF dosage. So I think I am getting a normal dose.
Sticky
Don't be upset with ur DH. I am sure he is also very stressed about this whole IVF journey, and probably thought if don't want baby, then u will not b so Xin ku as well. Once baby is born, he will sing a different tune. Men are usually like that. To them, the pregnancy is surreal until the baby is born. And some men are even 'dis-connected' till the child can respond to them nearer to one year old. So don't worry....just concentrate on ur cycle ok? Hugs!
76,
Wow that's very high dosage, you must have spent a lot on ur cycle since the Gonal F is quite expensive.
When will you know if u are going for IUI?

Wow that's a big diff! I thought since SGH and KK are both govt, they should have comparable costs? $11k is almost private price!
76,
Actually I share your sentiments about public hospital. Especially in this case, where IVF is a very emotional journey. You really don't want to risk having to face disgruntled, overworked nurses giving you 'black face' or attitudes during your visits.

Hi sticky
Thks for your reply. Oh You are also w SGH. Is their team good?
actually i managed to fix an appt next week under Dr Ham...(the Indian female doc, but i forgot her name) as this is the earliest date i m given.
ya i guess it will costs more than KKH. i also gather that i need to Q as KK has many patients. i din wish to wait v long so decided to see SGH. hope it will be my last hospital hopping. v tired already.

My DH was also quite reluctant for me to go through ivf coz he dun like to see me suffer wit the injects but i told him we hv to since we want kids..
Blessings: i did iui at TFC too but failed. Wanted to go sgh but nt comfortable wit the whole process..since i did checkups with kk, i tot might as well do at kkh so tt they can refer to all my tests easily..the nurses at kkivf centre are quite friendly and warm..unlike those at the clinic counters..so far i do nt hv any bad encounters with them..btw i juz started my lucrin on 31 Dec..still the choice is urs..choose a ivf centre wuc u r comfortable

Hi rashal, thks for ur reply n sharing. may i ask y u r not comfortable wif the process? so i b prepared meeting them next week. u noe its so diffcult to fix appt there. i like TFC, as nurses there r helpful n friendly. but too bad they still have not gotten d green light.
good tat u have started urs. all d best to u and bfp to u soon.
i was wif KKH too before gg to TFC. i must say i find kkivf nurses r pretty warm to me. But i witness them talking v rude to the drs there. i abit scared and put off la. scare also i get bad treatment from them.
Erm.. maybe i shld really consider KKH too again. and plus point is really near my office so anything checkups etc i can just go down. will c how again.

Rashal, I did put dark soya sauce. Dunno ok a not but me so used to eating soft boil eggs with soya.
Just ate 5 egg whites with little bit of dark soya and pepper. Mil told me to put some sesame oil so that it's more palatable.
I have also resorted to buying more expensive eggs coz the stench is not so strong for half boil, if it makes any sense.

snuuggly:
should you decided to take raw, please do not take it empty stomach just in case your stomach cant take it. ALways drink some hot stuff, maybe milo, then eat your eggs, then drink hot drink again.
I would pop 1 strawberry or cherry for each mouthful of egg white after drinking hot water.oh yes, I drink the egg white holding my breath, then water then strawberry.
Again if you visit dr zou, pls double check with her if this raw egg method do helps in faster growth of follicles.

my stomach is bloated. Before ET, dr says i have 10% chances of developing OHSS, asked if I wanna wait for maybe like Day5 transfer, I thought 10% is quite slim, so i went ahead with ET. Then talk to Dr zou about it, and she says day5 transfer is better than day 3. Haiz...anyway embbies inside le, no regret too, just hope that they stick to me, be it day 3 or day5, still my babies...
my stomach is bloated now, some pain, quite painful, but i can still endure, is it when you take deep breath, you will feel stomach area pain for OHSS case? Then pain at gastric area too?

Bobzai, I never eat raw. Dun dare to. Dh dun wan me to eat raw also coz I am usually very allergic to lots a of things. Eyes will swell for no reason.
As for dr zou, I stopped going liao. Partly was coz no time and all the jabs each day, dun feel like more accu. What's more, I can't take her meds coz again, I had an allergic reaction when I did.

hi bobzai,
ohss could cause ur stomach acid to increase... the discomfort would be ard ur tummy... also, some common signs is backache, cramp on the ovaries...
=) no worries... work on ur immunocal
hi snuggly,
hm, cut down on soya... soya sauce is ok cos is abit onli... tofu etc, take lesser... cos u need ur egg shell to crack open in blastocyst stage... once the sperm penerate into the embryo, the external shell will harden too... later too hard cannot crack open... =) this one is in layman's terms...
