Bb Blues, Lap can clean up your womb and many people do concieve after the surgery. Dr Loh is skillful in surgery and recovery time is quite fast. No worries insurance can claim. I PM you.

Hi jumbo girl how did u get the insurance claim ya ? Did u stay in hospital after lap ?
 


Vivine, yes my co can allow me to claim so I managed to claim all. I stayed one night. I feel it is better cos you will feel weak and some may puke so let the nurses take care of you. I seldom post here, anything u can pm me and I will be happy to reply you.

You can choose her at The Private suite but she is not there everyday. Call up the appointment line to change the date. Wait is not too bad less than an hour.

Mag08, thanks for the response. My case is similar to urs. My lap is also quite painful. Gynae found lotsa adhesions inside me frm the endo & previous laparotomy. Organs stuck together. Quite bad. No wonder my menses very crampy Was so sad to hear all tat. Even my tubes both affected. Duno whether the stimulations during ivf might aggravate my endo back. Coz my first AF after both failed cycle was v crampy.

I also went for laparotomy in 2006 coz my endo was quite big. Left 7cm, right i think abt 4-5cm. Same like u, i also brush the period pain as norm. But when it gets worse with time, i suspect something is wrong. None in my family has endo as well.

Bb_blues, my lap cost abt 9k+ for clearing pelvic adhesion for endo, unblocking tubes & clipping tubes. Did mine in nuh. Hope tat helps.

Hi Syrian
I am sorry to hear that you also have severe endo. Actually, while I think highly of Dr Loh's skills, I never understood why he assumed that for cases of endo, the IVF bypasses the endo and so it isn't necessary to do lap. Logically, when I think about it, in my case when the organs are all stuck together, the tubes, the uterus and the intestines, I am not sure how it would be possible for implantation to take place.

The decision to go for a lap or not is a hard one. I only did it finally cos' with all the failed IVF cycles, I had nothing more to lose from the lap. But I should add that when I found out that I had endo in 2000, I slowly changed my diet. While no one knows what really causes endo as there are multiple theories out there, diet does make a difference. I became a vegetarian (though that was primarily because of my belief system and not so much due to endo), and I stopped high sugar stuff. But every day, I took fish oil. Fish oil is primarily known for its DHA as a brain food. But for endo sufferers, its the EPA in fish oil that is important. EPA tends to calm the system and reduce inflammation and so if you consume fish oil, try to get one with a good amt of EPA esp if you are suffering from endo.

I truly hope that all of you get BFPs. Good luck

Hi hopeful, I'm seeing Dr Sadhana at the private suite. I think if u r seeing her as a subsidized patient, then maybe that's why it's clinic D. Maybe u can check if that's the reason.
 
Hi may i know if any of you experienced mid cycle spotting after a failed ivf? I am experiencing some light spotting on day 14 of my cycle. Usually I ovulate ard day 20. Quite scared now, is it something wrong?

Hi redlingsinc, I am seeing her as private patient. When I call the appointment line, they told me that the cost for first consultation is $110+ and I say I want to see her at TPS but the lady keep saying Dr Sadhana only see patient at clinic D. I ask her clinic D is for subsidised patient right, she say private patient also at clinic D. The rate I told you is private rate. Arrgghh.. I will call again on Monday to check my appointment. Luckily I check with you ladies, that lady on the line was not very friendly too.. :(
 
Hi mag08, my thoughts abt endo is also similar as yours. Maybe with all those adhesions, scarring, endo & stuck organs, all these make my insides not a gd environment for my embryos. Mayb tats why my embryos in both failed cycles just failed to implant. Haiz. Really hope to do something to make sure implantation can occur next round. Did u try endo scrapping before? Any ladies here who have a successful inplantation after endo scrapping?

Btw thanks for ur recommendation abt diet change. I also read there are many food out there tat may aggravate endo. Eg wheat, dairy products, meat (red meat & chic) & high sugar stuff. Pple like us shd consume more fruits & vegs. I think im gonna slowly switch my diet. But gonna be hard as i love food..
 
Hi all,

I started TTC 3 years ago, failed 1 IVF cycle at KKH with only 1 egg fertilized. According to fertility doc, my case is considered quite impossible to get pregnant naturally. After my failed cycle I went to healing session with Lao Shi (Mdm Tan) , to give myself a break. I got to know Mdm Tan’s healing session through this forum, some sisters shared their experience and I thought no harm giving a try. Mdm Tan always encouraged me to TTC naturally and think positively, after few healing sessions, I felt that my body warmer and am not afraid of coldness, more importantly, I learnt to take things easily and stay positive, leave it to the God. Even though during my TTC naturally I did not succeed, I was never like in the past—that last time I would cry or thought negatively. Instead, I continued to see Mdm Tan, to prep my body for the TTC journey and I believed that I could get pregnant naturally. This year, while waiting to arrange my new IVF appointment, I also went and prayed to God of Baby and Mary the Mother of Jesus with Mdm Tan. I lived life as usual and went for a trip, miraculously, I got pregnant after the trip and in my second trimester now. I would not say there is one sole factor anyone of us can refer to for successful TTC. But I really appreciate Mdm Tan for what she has helped and listened to me along this journey, she is not just a healer but also a friend to accompany us through this journey. I am sharing this because I can understand the feeling of TTC, knowing that besides medical help, we also need help in other ways. Just hope that my little story can motivate everyone to strive on and miracles can happen! No matter how hard it is, don’t lose heart and explore a way that you feel most comfortable with to carry on this TTC journey. Give yourself the chance when you are ready.

Vivine, i am doing fresh cycle, didnt have any frozen embryos this round.
 
Hi hi mei, still remember me? Hows your mid cycle spotting? Is it gone already? I am also doing fresh cycle too as no frozen from last fresh. Not really looking forward on all those injections. Doc sadhana prescripe 1 more injection for better quality for my eggs and also increase the dosage for the hormone injection. So not looking forward. So sad.

vivine, DHEA is a controlled drug that was said to improve egg quality but is not scientifically proven. DHEA needs to be prescriped by doctors. FA i buy from Unity. Its those generic type. Hospital also give the same thing, so I din take from there. Today take the last dosage of TCM med. have not decided whether to go take more med or not.
 
Dear all,

I am currently conducting a short survey for a new technology for IVF treatment, aimed to increase success of IVF treatment. This is a new concept developed by a Life Sciences company in the United States.

We are bounded by market research guidelines so kindly be assured that no confidential particulars will be divulged.
The interview will be face-to-face and will last approximately 35 minutes. You will receive $60 cash at the end of the interview.

Here are 3 criteria to qualify for this market research:
1. Currently seeing a fertility specialist or have seen one in the last one year
2. Has gone through at least one or more unsuccessful IVF cycle in the past year
3. Was recommended DONOR EGG by the fertility specialist

Should you have additional questions or wish to discuss your participation in this study, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected]

Thank you and kind regards,
Joanne Lim
