melodi- good to hear ur sac is bigger now..no worries k. they will call u with the BT only tomor?
Pink- i read u company does not accept mc from pte? why?is it coz u work in govt sector... my fren in civil service gota see doc in polyclinic when she's sick...
j03- good luck!
BB- agree..but guess that's the insurer's way to make more $. The clause states that payment must be made 6 days within ET...
Ron- go for it. i think one time strike 3 will be really nice. U have been thru alot of ups and downs recently. With possible 3, you can close shop earlier and end the rollar coaster ride. But isit put 3 also increases the % for BPF also?

Hi J03 >> heehee, ok i will wait till 3pm than start my nonsense again heehee.
Hi Summer >> Why not just take a scoop of concentrated Manuka +10 Honey, dont mix with water, if you find too sweet, break into two batches to eat, one AM and one PM.
AM have to be empty tummy, the lady, at the shop told me one, i am not sure if it is sales talk, but i think worth trying
The last round i only have one egg, so DR ask to try naturally, which nothing happened, the last time my jab daily was 100 iu and 125iu, this time the DR increase to 250 iu and than 300iu. He said, i have high BMI (heehee very chubby side) so need high dose, than i have these few precious eggs. The DR will always play around with the dosage.
Hi Pink >> i on standby liao... practise a bit of jumping so i can leap and catch

bb_nn >> I went to see Dr Roland Chieng as I was told he has high success rate of close to 70% so far? That's why Im wondering if I should be paying more to go with him since I get his attention vs. team at KKH. But again I heard good things about Dr. Loh and DH feels that after yesterday's visit, Dr Loh is a very confident person. Although he did recommend me to go on short protocol but yet highlighted pregnancy rate is lower because not many people go on short protocol.
Don't know if I should ask Dr. Chieng if he intends short or long protocol. What's the diff?

ltjabi, can imagine Dr Loh experience fr his patients list, no doubt he very skillful will make u feel secure. If multiples i might stay put cos if complications KK is the best place to be..I like Dr Cheng but i m sure his rate will be much higher than Dr Loh & TMC do not have the facility to cater for complications. i went to the pte suite for Dr Loh appt before, it's a cosy place and they have appt until late evening, did u pay extra to see him in the pte suite last time?
Hi Clb >> i wonder how much govt gets commission... hahaha, ok better dont say here, later kana mark
Hi Summer >> The weather is just bad, thus making our body all hay wire, why not you let the DR know u are in this process and ask him to give you something he knows is ok. They all Dr Dr should know better. Take care and do rest more, and drink more water
Hi Mikela >> Yeah i am with the same DR as well, were you at his clinic yesterday? Coz i was there for my ER so was there from 0900 hours and popped back at about 1530 hours, saw two pair of couples waiting to see DR. So far i am comfortable with him, i do not know about his success rates, actually i did not even check, where did you get the stats from?

JT, yes if u decide on 2 they will take 2 out & thaw 1st, then if they can survive until yr ET you don't waste any embryos. Like mine take 3 out but 1 cannot make it to ET, hence they take another 1 out to thaw and trsf prior ET, hence this one no time to develop further. like my case i put 3 at least got 2 gd ones inside and a spare one just make it. Unless u have all 3 develop very gd and more cells to ET, then yr chances of hitting triples higher. If you are aiming for twins and wan to close shop, then advisable to trsf 3.
bb_nn >> nice! Can let me know how's the journey so far and what entails in his protocol? He's quite nice, he let me just talk to him when I had some doubts the other day. I was at KKH yesterday trying to understand the protocol at KKH because Dr Chieng said he's not sure of how they do it at KKH but if I'm under him, he will monitor me closely because of my hyper stimulation and as and when he needs me in his clinic, I will be in there... He intends to put me on May cycle but Dr Loh was saying I should start Jun cycle so that I can get rid of any 'old eggs' left overs from previous SO-IUI stimulation. So I don't know man...Feel like asking Dr Chieng for his pov although I think I will probably end up frustrating him more :\ He's quite nice hor?
His success rate, well he mentioned to me when I visited him a month ago that out of 10, he succeeded with 7. And that's quite high from what I understand from my sis in law (who had IVF in the UK last year). And she said that's important. So yeahhhh....I'm sure it will go smoothly for you!!!
I sense my DH is leaning towards KKH cuz he's not met Dr Chieng before and its cheaper but I'm leaning towards Parkway East..then again if it doesn't work out...

Hi JT - were you on the short protocol for KKH? able to share your experiences working with the team there? I've signed up for Jun IVF and doing pre-work in May. But I don't know why my heart worries more when I'm there and they just direct me from one place to another and all....

Am glad that hv go for this scan.. Feel a load off me though still hv worry.. since is singleton, i hv decide to give birth at tmc and will change gynea as doc Paul dun hv package which i feel will be very ex..
