Blizzbless, I am in dilemma like u... I am in the midst of transporting my embryos from KKH to TMC for FET since my Dr moved to TMC. What I am losing out will be the co-funding of $1200 which is only for public hospital.., anything else? I can still utilize medisave for the rest right? Any good dr at KKH to recommend for consideration?

For those of you who were previously with dr loh at kkh n wish to try out fet at kkh can consider dr sadhana. I decided to save some money by doing my fets at kkh just in case if i do need a fresh cycle then I'll go to dr loh at tmc... At least not so taxing on the pocket. Luckily I didn't have to go for another fresh cycle as I bfp under her after I switch to her for my 3rd fet.

Morning ladies
alexis, yup u will only lose out d govt funding of $1200 but u still can use ur medisave (3x usage).
purpledragon, d procedure is v short. Juz tat when d 'needle' is poke inside n when it starts to scrap, i feel pain n cramp n it took a while for me to rcv for d cramp. It all happened too fast till i no time to ask d doc wat if im pregnant plus im only at my CD17. Dont b scared k, juz prepare urself a pad coz im bleeding af d procedure n d doc told me is normal to bleed n hve cramp for a while.

yvejen, there is no result af d scratching de. Only will help to increase d success rate as dis is to aid in implantation. For me, i pay about $136 for d procedure.

Lakigal,
I see.. So u'll start ur normal jabs abt the same time i start my stimulation jabs.. Then we just relax now first and not think abt it
Sandra,
Have been using SK2 Advanced Eye Treatment Film, in gel form so not as thick and sticky like cream.. Hehe.. Since on this topic, can recommend a good mascara? I tend to smudge real easily..

@ lin (okidoki)
{ maybe there was a communication problem somewhere? i only rem she said its 3 days aft ET (if its a 2 days transfer). its ok for pregynl and TCM, as long as its more than 2 hrs apart. i dont think taking the medi aft ER will have any bad impact to ET, dun worry. chinese medicine is nt so strong.. take care, n think +ve ok? may just strike with 2!! }
Dr Tan (TCM) rang back last evening, Missus explained the whole situation again, Dr Tan told missus she looked at the wrong records and admitted she prescribed wrong TCM medicine (short of some herbs), asked missus to bring down TCM medicine down on Wed, she will adjust accordingly, to be taken on Day3 after ET.
Judging at how Dr Tan (TCM) can made a mistake, i am thinking should missus take both pregnyl and TCM together.

Hi All,
// Couples seeking Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART) treatments in public hospitals can receive co-funding for the cost of their ART treatment cycle, for a maximum of 3 fresh and 3 frozen ART cycles. The amount of co-funding will vary, depending on the citizenship of the couple, as shown in the table below.
ART co-funding parameters per treatment cycle (with effect from 1 Jan 2013) //
Based on the new policies, does it means it is only applicable at government hospital, if we switch to Dr Loh (TMC), everything will be paid by cash?

wondersss: i re-post my posting on 18 Jan fyi here.
"lynx_sea/wonderss: went bk for review today n will embark on my cycle in Apr.
1st cycle confirm no nd to pay cash. nurse said chk under your name in invoice at the end of every page n if reflect $0 means no nd to pay.
My Apr cycle will be short protocol still but i will have to do 3 jabs: pergoveris (replaced puregon for poor responders) + saizan + orgalutran. cost will b more ex than my 1st cycle.
at max $12k. confirm hv to top up cash then.
my thyroid level is normal now. AMH 2.3 ng/ml, FSH 5.3, LH 4.88 iu/l n progesterone lvl 0.71 nmol/l.
my embie didn't implant at all HCG only 1.2 n endo lining was 9mm triple.
i ask y din implant n dr said there r natural chemicals in our womb which din go well w embie. The embie din 'talk' to womb i.e. no interaction at all hence no implantation....
Btw, my doc dun recommend DHEA cos side effects n not really necessary for me. DHEA must take at least 6 mths to c effect."
Rem, the list of questions? I spent about 30mins inside with dr tan to go thru them. So after evaluating, he suggested all the above.
me starting ard early apr once af reports. Mar is crazy month for me as have to travel for 3 wks.

min81: reply u
sandra: pm u abt the eye stuff.
abt the chemicals, he said it is natural that certain natural 'chemicals' r present in our womb.
there is no one formula on how or y the embies din implant especially if lining is of good thickness as it's really in god's hand for that part.
the embie and womb just need to 'talk/interact' n that if the communication goes thru, viola BFP then.
the funny thing is, he ask me not to read too much into forum... cos he said what work for others may not work for me, vice versa.
