[verone_baby]

babydusty, try www.dhea.com or www.pharmanatural.com

I tried 3 months already and still waiting

I paid $600+ at women's clinic for Prof PC WOng consultation and blood test.

 

[adejoy]

Prosepina, when will u be going for your FET? Jiayou ok, will be rooting for u!

 

[leor]

Wondersss, Thanks

this time round, i dun really pin high hopes lah. Cos my body not so good le. Until now, i still backache, cant stand too long, my whole back will pain until I cold sweat and others parts of my body also got many problems. However, I will still try my best to give them whatever I can hehe.

 

[verone_baby]

joyfully, how are you my dear

i do not have any frozen embbies, so have to restart and going for 2nd IVF, maybe in Mar'12 or Apr'12 ba..

 

[min81]

Babydusty,

Are you converting to private patient? If still subsidized patient,think you'll only see prof once before ivf.. Subsequent visits will be with dr chew and dr anupriya at subsidised rates..If private, then ya lor, no choice, gotta pay more..

Prosepina,

Have you decided where you're doing your ivf?

Is there any tests to show whether the dhea has helped to improve the quality/quantity of eggs?

 

[leor]

Min81, How are you? Like long time no see u liao. I also wondering how is lin. Hope she is doing well too

 

[babydusty]

thank you Prosepina for the link. will take a look.

OMG u paid $600+ at womens clinic for first time meeting prof? For wat blood test did you took?

 

[babydusty]

min81 > ohhh meet prof for first time only. I dont know if i should convert or not. If still under subsequent visit under subsidize how much will it be? Do you know? If not much diff might as well stick to Prof PC Wong rite.

 

[verone_baby]

min, more or less decided but can only confirm when meet Prof.Wong again in Jan'13. most probably Mar'13 or April'13 cycle depdns on the availability and TCM advise.

Yes, retested AMH to check the level, but AMH just to check the quantity, so quality wise really have to see ER result

 

[wondersss]

leor, just have sufficient rest and eat well... should not have much prob...lin also no news no sound wor..

Any ladies buying plus size clothes .. i googling and all quite ex wor... any recommendations and dresses with sleeves.. i dont want to show my PIG ARMS out.. lols...

 

[min81]

Babydusty,

I also paid 600+ like prosepina when i first started going to prof last yr.. Consult alone already 100+.. The tests all combined abt 400+.. The tests are the same as what you did at the subsidised clinic.. I remember at the cashier, my heart also skip a beat when i heard the amount.. Haha..

Leor,

Hihi! I've been around but as silent reader cos like nothing to contribute.. Hehe.. Are you in ur 2ww? All the best!

Maybe can share something today.. Went to dentist yesterday for routine check.. She knows i'm ttc-ing, was telling me if i get preggy, might experience ms.. After vomitting, just rinse mouth with water.. Brush teeth only after at least half hour.. Cos the acid from the vomit coupled with the toothpaste will cause corrosion of tooth enamel..

 

[verone_baby]

babydusty, quite a number of blood test performed. Actually is kind of a rush decision, after i back at home then i started to think, why i need to re-test while i already brought along my BT result fm KK. Even D2 FSH blood test, my DH SA, all have to redo le..

 

[verone_baby]

wondersss, you may want to try forever21 then using vpost or borderlinx ship back to sg..

good luck to your BT tomorrow, no need plus size la, time to buy maternity wear

 

[min81]

Babydusty,

Not too sure about that.. Maybe you can pm dian tang to ask?

Prosepina,

I see.. Don't worry, i'm sure quality has improved too.. Have faith!

 

[leor]

min81, Me not yet start. Waiting for af

my 2ww should fall in mid Jan onwards ba.

[leor]

Wondersss, dun need to wait until after 5th months. Too long liao. I start wearing maternity clothing after 16weeks/1st tri. Before that, I buy plus size pants from Vivi shop.

 

[adejoy]

Glad to know tat u r going to embark on your 2nd fresh in mar or apr. So at least you can tiao your body now.

[wondersss]

lynx, still spotting.... ?? will u to do BT then? dun give up....maybe got miracle le...

 

[lynx_sea]

Mixture of spotting with light bleeding.. Skeptical of going BT tmr..
went Tcm and doc wans me to do acupuncture. Think trying to salvage the bleeding. But I still not positive abt it.

 

[wondersss]

lynx, what did your tcm says??? still got chance? don't give up hope although is slim chances... just ping chang xin to see it... *hug hug*

 

[leor]

lynx, did u try hpt at home again?

 

[dianita]

Hello anyone can share her IVF experience with Dr Tan Heng Hao from KKH?
Is he have good success rate?
I am considering to do IVF with him or Dr Loh from TMC.
Please share... tx

 

[lynx_sea]

Wondersss she said my pulse not so gd. Ask me take cordyceps soup. Tdy acupuncture super pain lor.
Leor I tried hpt ytd morning but neg

 

[wondersss]

lynx, y the acupunture v painful?? u poke where???

u try again tml morning and see how???

 

[babydusty]

Prosepina > oh u trf fm KKH to NUH. I think its NUH procedure, they want from their own labs. But I only did HSG at KKH and with dat result I trf to KKH Clinic G. Lucky they did not ask me to repeat HSG. Such a painful and uncomfortable experience! So when im at NUH den i did all the blood and SA test with subsidy rate but to me still the price are shocking to me. haha

min81 > Ok will do so and try to pm dian tang. she's under subsidy rate at womens clinic is it?
Yup2 i think yours $600+ because u do one shot. For me, if pace by pace that why dont feel that much. hehehe

 

[adejoy]

Prosepina, thank you for your well wishes... Yeah, hope to share good news with you soon.

Looking forward to your good news in 2013!

 

[lynx_sea]

4 needles on each leg n 1 of them attach with current (the cramp is from knee to foot lor), 1 above n 1 below navel.
Try wat tmr?

 

[wondersss]

lynx, try hpt again tml to see whether need to go for BT tml lo... nothing is impossible...

 

[verone_baby]

sandra, i wanted to try IUI with Dr.Loh but i think bad timing, he is sick le..so after 3rd opinion fm Prof.Wong, i think i shouldn't further stimulate my ovaries with lower chance procedure.

hmm..i think babysmurf also succeeded under Dr.HH Tan

 

[min81]

Leor,

I see.. Hope u will have good news by cny then

Prosepina,

Could it be that the results from kkh are outdated? Cos prof does not usually repeat tests unless he feels they are necessary..

Babydusty,

Yup dian tang is subsidised patient, u can get some info from her

The 600+ was spent over a mth but still heartpain.. Hehe.. Though exp, my hubby also wants us to stay with prof and nuh cos after all the things we went thru this yr, we really feel very well taken care of.. I guess most impt is that u have tofeel comfortable with whichever doc u're with..

 

[saggiegirl]

Dianita> hello

yes I BFP under Dr HH Tan from KKH. He is a nice doctor (though very busy man!)... for IVF under KKH (and govt hosp like NUH, SGH) there will be a $3K govt grant...

So u have done the relevant tests/check-ups?

min81, babydusty> correct. $$ spent is small matter. No matter which clinic u go to, u must be comfortable and have confidence in the doctor.

 

[dian_tang]

Baby dusty: I have replied ur pm .

 

[lynx_sea]

Wondersss I think if BT can't detect hcg, hpt will take longer time to detect. So dun bother abt the hpt le.

 

[lynx_sea]

Wondersss I vry sian. Diff nurses advise diff things. Like can't be trusted. Anyway even if lucky enuff to preg, I tink Oso hard to sustain with their inconsistent advices. Haha...

 

[wondersss]

lynx, *hug hug* dont feel that way ok... i dont knw what the nurses advises u.. try not to listen too much to them.. listen to doctor only...
I also start to abit scared for my BT tml...

 

[lynx_sea]

How to listen to doc when no chance to see or talk to them. ONI nurses entertaining us. See doc is only when all is over.
