I don't think sgp have egg donor. Hv to find ourself then is not a problem. I am also thinking egg donor if I have 3 times failed ivf but I will do it in Bangkok........will be my next choice before thinking of adoption my last option

Hi Everyone,
I'm new here and i'm going for ivf in oct. I'm seeing Dr Teo Heng Hao in KK, anyone out there are familiar with this Dr and so far how good is he? By the way, since i'm doing my ivf procedure in oct, do i need to take note during my 1st visit for injection? Is there any foods I should be avoid?

Thanks All.
 
Min, I've failed 2 IUI & 1 IVF this year. Doc suggested me do lap to see if there r any unwanted treasures b4 I embark on my next ivf, though v scans did not show anything. Since we hv come so far, why not right? 

Issue shd be with me cos we r using donor sperm, hence hv to go thro ivf for sure & can't bfp naturally. 

Asiafrighter, It is more ex & tough for us & doc ever suggested us to do in BKK as it is cheaper, n he said facility there is at par with SG. But me & DH still can't bring ourselves to do it overseas & hence embarked our journey in SG instead.
 
Dreambear
I actually did write a few email to BKK hospital whc was recommended by my previous gynae. In fact, I find they are probably better than sgp in term of many issues. They can do a lot of things whc sgp cnnt do due to the law. Doing in BKK also the time factor and that is why we decided to try sgp before we consider our next step.
 
Asisfrighter, I still hv 2 more tries for ivf. After which, we may go for adoption instead le. Cos dun Tik I k go thro any more rounds of ivf lei
sad.gif
But well, hope I dun hv to either go bkk for ivf or adoption!!! Chey Chey Chey!!!
 
Dreambear .. Thks hope so too .. dr Zhou suggest natural fet .. It's somthg diff wic I had not tried b4 .. .. Hope it can works for me
happy.gif
 
Dreambear,

I see.. Ya will be good to do a lap to check cos many things can't be seen clearly with v scan.. All the best k!
 
I hope I k do fet but me got nothing to freeze from my last ivf. For my coming round, I will request doc to increase my gonal f dosage, which means got to pay more & suffer more. lol!!

Ya, recently heard & read fet success rate also very high now! Jia you & all e best to all sisters out there who is doing fet!
 
Dreambear .. Tink better do a lap first cos u never know mah .. To tell u the truth .. Dr Loh also asked me to do lap but I did 2 yrs back w another gynae .N it's ok except the tubes are slow when the liquid pass thru it n fatty tissues around the uterus wic the gynae said its common for pple around my age ... Anyway hubby dnt encourage me to open again ..

Oh Asiafighter .. U also tot Abt egg donor .. malaysia has the program .. He never mention bkk though .. U know how much is it in bkk .. In Malaysia it's Abt $45k ringit .. N heard u could choose the donor too
 
1BB, Thank for your cheers! It gives me strength and engery I hope to share my success story with u soon. Will share with u whatever u need to need know

Ravene
Egg donor 80,000 Thai , choose donor, color n interview. If donor produce less than 6 eggs will have another donor free. Free transport, 1 nite stay. Hahahaha, still got surrogacy services. He didnt mentioned to me abt Malaysia has this programme. U kwn the name? Pm me if u kwn

I have recently asked a nurse abt egg & sperm donor whether is it allow in sg. She said if the wife cannot produce egg then she is allowed to use donor egg but she has to find her own donor. Same goes with thr husband.
It is not easy to come to a decision to accept donor sperm or egg as the child does not carry the full generic of the parents. I still do not have the courage to accept it.
 
Bigbear
For my case is also egg quality and dr did mentioned to me abt egg donor. I will consider when I think the time is right. I still want to carry my own child even though is not my egg but is still my DH solider.
 
Dreambear> I've tried 2 failed fresh at KKH. Now changing to NUH for a chg of environment & luck. So tis will by my last try on IVF.
 
Hi ladies
Found the below from website which improve egg/sperm quality. These could help those women with low ovarian reserve (AMH).

1. Yoga and acupuncture to improve ovarian blood supply
2. Self-fertility massage
3. DHEA
4. Wheat germ
5. CoQ10
6. Royal Jelly
7. Maca
8. Greens like wheat grass, barley grass, Chlorella, Spirulina, etc.
 
Min81 > I'm only using the steroid cream on very small areas for the occasional flare ups. Will check with dr if its ok to use the cream during ivf, though I think best not to.

Yes, my dr did suggest acupuncture. Royal jelly may not be suitable for those with pcos history.

For sperm quality, can try cordyceps. It is recorded in chinese medicine. I read will need about 3-9g daily for it to be effective. This is a very expensive supplement if you know the cost of good quality cordyceps. That's why cordyceps are also called 'ground gold'.

Asiafrighter > The embroylogist can tell quality of egg? While my amh is considered ok, i'm worried about egg quality due to my age.
 
Tahope .. Follow ur heart .. Its Gd to have a change .. Cos heard tat pro Wong is Gd .. U never know .. New change may have better luck .. I change around too .. But haven't tried him b4 .. If I m younger .. I would want to try him too .., :p
 
hihi....it is sunday!

the first weekend after my ET on thursday...(harvested 11, fertilized 4, transferred 2).

so far have been sleeping, eating, resting....lolxxxx

the only thing that bothers me is the insertion of the pills into the vagina..hmmm....

been talking to my embbies daily to tell them to be good and nice and nest nicely.....
 
Asiafrighter, I must say 80,000 Baht is really v affordable! Thats abt the amount of $ we spent on gonal F!

Bigbear, no one will like to find any donor if we are able to have our own kids. But too bad, due to unforeseen circumstances, some of us will need to take another longer & tougher path. Whatever that is, the bottom line is we all want a kid of our own
happy.gif


Tahope, so the cost of medicines also cost more ex in pte hospital lor
sad.gif
I thought only procedures and hospitalisation cost different nia.... Like what Ravene said, a change in environment might work for u
happy.gif
 
Pergoveris jab is so painful. Luckily nurse @ CHR prewarned me.

Dear God, Budhha, Guan Yin Niang Niang, Ma Zhu & Zhu Sheng Niang Niang...pls bless me with a success cycle & a bb this round. My jabs are getting more & more painful. Pls take pity on me.
 
JoyHope
Last cycle, harvested 7, fertilized 5, transferred 3 but still failed. Grade 2 I guess, didnt ask dr Loh but see the pic was good. So, I hope after lap my chances will be better if not I also don't kwn what I will do next.
AF just visited me
sad.gif
......will try natural this month bf I embark my FET
 
Tahope, u know my doc & nurses dun warn me of e side effects & pain level for all e jabs. I find this gd n bad. Gd cos I won't fear that much but I will curse after my DH inject me! Bad cos I'm not mentally prepared. There were times that my mood swing n headache after certain med & after I surf net than I know those r e side effects

So why do some jabs feel more painful than the others hah??
 
Girl girl .. Jia you .. Another week to go !!! How u feeling .. N where is Babysmurf .. Have u been Gd too
happy.gif


Dreambear n Asiafighter .. How much is 80,000 baht ? Converted to sing dollars .. Today jus tried the immunical but very difficult to dissolve it hor .. Must shake like mad n very frothy hor .. Though it taste quite ok when dissolve ..
 
Ravene, according to online conversation rate, 80,000 baht abt SG$3,200 only! I guess e ivf procedure in BKK shd also be much much cheaper too...
 
Ravene: wave wave wave I am here. Eating my durian. Have a fun dream hahaha. Whole week eat n sleep. No mood to go out or watch show. Laze ard then sleep again.
 
Asiafighter & Dreambear, understand how u gals feel. This journey has never been easy and some decisions come tough.... Jia you ladies!
 
Babysmurf ... Tats Gd .. Hee .. Eat durian again .. Wow enjoy life
happy.gif
cont to stay positive n we will get to have ur bb dust soon dear ..

Dreambear n Prosepina .. The 45k ringgit include egg donor n the procedure of egg retrieval n egg transfer too .. No hotel stay though .. Quite expensive hor .. We can exchange info later .. For the x being let's jia you n hope we BFP soon
happy.gif
no info on china though ..
 
Girl > Well done... so did you freeze the other 2?

Asiafrighter > Fertilised 5 is good. Maybe the lap will be good. I did lap and bfp naturally the month after... only that mc. Maybe my body not strong enough. For me i'm embarking on ivf after failed iui and lap. I'm open to both donor egg and sperm, but DH don't like the idea.
 
girl> rest well!

dreambear, asia, ravene and all> you will have better luck next round! keep it up. maybe will succeed in singapore, who knows!

min> still cramping...

joyhope> do u consider eating tcm? it can strengthen ur body..

bee> was ur first ivf done by dr loh too? how are u now? when ur bt?
 
Lin > I'm seeing a chinese dr for acupuncture, but dr do not recommend that I take chinese med. My earlier mc could probably be due to lifestyle and stress, the super long hours at work has affected health.

Babysmurf > Tummy tight tight is a good sign
 
Babysmurf .. Yes .. Could b Gd sign ..
happy.gif


Joyhope .. Actuali my hubby also dnt like egg donor cos he worried Abt me cos I would b carrying the bb n dnt noe if it will affect my health plus he felt it's like not 'fair' for me cos for him would not want but I told him if we are ready to adopt .. Egg donor is ok to me cos I will still carry it n b part of me too ..

lin .. Thks .. Hope so too
happy.gif
 
Ravene > DH does not like the idea of egg donor, but he also feel it's not fair for me and the fact its not ours. If adoption, he prefers to adopt furkids
happy.gif


Ladies, i'm going for trial cannulation next week... how does it feel? Each procedure is a new baby step for me.
 
Joyhope .. Oic... Adopt furkids .. It's a gd deed leh
happy.gif
..We have a pair of furkids le .. A gal n a boy .. They r a joy ..
Not sure Abt cannulation .. Mayb other sisters could share if they know ..

Anyway .. We hope for the best n hope all sisters could BFP soon !!
 
Ravene > My first furkid passed away early this year. She was 15 years old. I cried my eyes out. It took me a month to grieve over her. Then we adopted my second, our first furkid. She just passed her first birthday. She's such a joy and brings a lot of laughter to us with her antics. Of course we all hope to bfp, let's keep that in our prayers.
 
Lin
Thanks... I am fine, getting a little worried as it approaches BT date which is on Fri (so far...). i moved too much during weekends, will rest well on weekdays!

I was with Dr Cheng in 2009 at TFC. then he was the Dr since late last year, Dr Loh took over. For those who are with Dr Loh, he is a good "friend" of Dr Tan SB (TCM)

Sorry, I didnt follow the earlier thread. Are you cycling now or waiting to cycle?
 
i was told since last Oct, we can only transfer 2 embryos no more 3 even in pte hosp... it that true?

Dr Loh said, woman nearing 40s doesnt equate to low overian reserve... but the fact tt it takes 3-4 months to see the results, i decided not to wait. end up only retrieved 4 follicles and i was lucky tt i still hv 2 fertilised embryos to transfer.. if you can wait for 3-4months, i strongly recommend you to take the DHEA or other fertility food before you embark on IVF. I was already on max dosage
 
Bee .. Wish u all the best for u upcoming bt .. Rest mre n b positive yah .. Yes dr Loh also tell me recently in my aug cycle tat there is new regulation .. Only 37 and above then can transfer 3 embryos ..
 
i am >37.. oh i rem one condition is no succesful IVF then can transfer 3.. I hv one successful IVF.. why deprive those who despeate want kids esp when we are paying so much for IVF?
sad.gif
 
Ravene
Ivf/icsi 180000THB, 80000THB is with egg donor. That time I wanted to do in BKK becos they can do chromosome n other test whc sgp cnnt. But DH say try sgp first. So Bo pian

JoyHope
I really hope I don't have to go thru another cycle Leh.
Good luck to all of us. We need a lot of lucks n also fate
 


Joyhope .. Sorrie to hear Abt the loss of ur first furkid.. My previous 2 also passed away around 14yrs old .. Yah it's sad but I tel myself tat I have given them alot of love when they are alive .. They have not lived in vain .. One of my Gf jokingly said that she dnt mind to b my doggie .. Ravene is the name of my gal doggie baobei
