Yes agree that hearing the Grade will really affect our thinking. I was so demoralized from my previous two transfer as the quality are always at the C range. I am always too focus on the grade. Anyway, smooth pregnancy and hope to join u soon...haha.
Yes you will get to enjoy the govt cofunding if u switch to govt hospital. Govt cofunding entitled up to 3 fresh and 3 frozen cycles in govt hospital. On top of tat, u can oso use ur medisave to pay the remaining amt provided u have not exhausted 15k. I had done 3 fresh cycles and 2 frozen in KKH and I did not pay a single cent out of pocket.
Thank you very much. I'm considering to switch to KKH if i plan to try 3rd time.
does anyone know what the estimated waiting time for IVF at SGH is?
I have the similar situation as u. I oso have ard 13eggs for each side of my ovary for two of my fresh cycles. I jus listen to doctor and go for FET. They oso told me risk of OHSS. In the end I din have it. But to be safe, better listen to doctor cos OHSS maybe life threatening and will get very sick. And oso doctor say FET actually has a higher chance of success. So dun treat it as a bad news...
I have similar experience too.. just listen to the doctor after all they should know the best
Personally not recommend SGH for IVF. So much rush, they don’t follow timing. Lot of waiting time. For IVF, timing is the matter. We wasted so much money and energy at sgh and then moved to private.hi all, been TTC-ing for a year and expecting to see Dr Yu at SGH but my appointment got pushed back
Have u done the transfer? Any good news?
FET done. Postpone implantation for sometime due to personal reasons
Hi dear! My 1st fresh cycle i had 17 eggs and had OHSS which caused me to unable to pee or poop for 2-3 days. But i still go ahead with the transfer but failed.
All the best. Hope to hear good news soon
Did the doc advise u to put 1 or 2? I would listen to the doctor. And if u can handle twins? For me, I will take into consideration the quality of embryos. I previously transferred 2 grade C blastocysts but both failed to implant. This round I transferred 1 5AB and in 2ww. Doc advise me to transferred 1 and I followed.
I had transferred 2 (3BB & 4CC) as per doc's advice, but lost pregnancy in 6th week. Don't know if only one got implanted or both. Follow what your doc suggests.
I did 2, an early blast and a blast. Both implanted but it was challenging because with ivf already has a higher tendency for bleeding, my bleeding was very bad and had to do bedrest for most of my trimester 1. Coupled with very bad morning sickness which lasted till I gave birth, I was hospitalised for both the bleeding and morning sickness in the early pregnancy because their heartbeats were a bit worrying. Ultimately my pregnancy stabilised and everything went ok. If your body cannot take it, then you need to reconsider because my gynae did tell me I could either keep both, lose one or lose both given the circumstances of my early pregnancy.
Congratulations! Happy for youHi ladies. Even though I don't have red eggs to share, but I hope to share the baby dust with you all.
I was still active in the forum earlier this year as I was going through my supposed last subsidised cycle of IVF as we were close to using all 15k of the MediSave withdrawal limit. So we saw this as our last attempt at and we had gone through 1 fresh, 2 FETs before this final fresh cycle. What I did to prepare was mainly taking CoQ10 and tried my best to avoid cold drinks and had a bit of red dates tea occasionally because prior to that I loved cold drinks. Low ovarian reserve with endo and also am 36 already this year.
Our last fresh cycle only had 3 fertilized embryos but by transfer day, we were left with 1 good blastocyst, 1 that was barely making it and 1 that didn't make it at all. We were made to decide right there and then if we wanted to transfer the 1 that was barely making it as well but we decided to just go ahead and transfer the 1 good blastocyst in the end. I knew if we were to be blessed with twins, I would have a hard time and I may risk a lot because of my health and I didn't want to risk the babies either. Luckily for us, this one blastocyst implanted and I just delivered my baby recently.
I've been with SGH Dr Yong TT all these while and she's also the one who saw me through my pregnancy and delivered my baby. I have to agree that the waiting time at SGH CARE can be very long at times because of how small the clinic is and they seem to be having more patients during my last consultation with them and also when I visited them today to inform them of my baby's birth. But the staff and nurses there have taken such good care of my husband & I during our journey with them that I don't regret all the time I spent waiting because during tough times the nurses have been the most reassuring. I know some ladies may not like the pace at how they get things done and the rush they feel there most times.
Especially if you're seeing Dr Yong TT, be prepared that the nurses may need to head over to the other clinic to look for her because she also sees a lot of patients at the OGC side and it's playing the waiting game at times. They don't automatically tell you the grades and whatnot that I often see other ladies post about here. Through my 2+ years with them, I never knew what grade my embryos were and I didn't really ask either.
I haven't been actively checking private messages here ever since I got pregnant because I was mostly feeling unwell, but if you have any questions and I can help to answer, don't hesitate to drop me a message.
Good luck to all the strong ladies and baby dust to all.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Once you decide to start, if there are not issues, can start the time you get your period.
If u want to choose a specific dr in the govt hosp, u will have to be under pte class hence no need referral letter. Just call and make appt.
Thank you so much I’m foreigner but my husband is singaporean are we qualify ? And what is the different between Pte class and normal one is it the consultation price ?
I went to a polyclinic for referral but is considered a private patient in kkh.
Yes you are right that what I found singapore citizen+foreigner couple 35% up to $3600. Thank you for your reply
Hello all, I’m new to this forum and going through ivf now. Will just like to share my journey.
I have a baby boy whose turning 4 soon, conceived naturally rather quickly after married. He’s a c sect baby and apparently there’s a scar in my uterus due to c sect
I didn’t know that would be a cause to my infertility. We were ttc-ing for 2 years before we consulted kkh in July 2020.
Went through 2 SO-iui And failed.
Going through ivf now and at 5 days post transfer at this moment. I had 18 follicles, 12 eggs retrieved, 10 out of 12 were successfully fertilized through icsi and 5 went into blastocyst stage. I had 1 embyro transfered but unfortunately all the rest didn’t make it so none of them get to freeze
anyone else going through ivf right now? And in their 2ww? Any symptom?
ngl, it was quite devastating.I feel you when the nurse called to say none made it to freezing stageHi hahacious, I’m in similar situation as u. Have 1 child conceived spontaneously, now going through IVF (1st round, fresh cycle, 5day blast transferred). 17 retreived, if I remember correctly 13 were fertilised, 7 went on blastocyst, 1 transferred but none of the remaining embryos was “good enough” to be frozen, sighs
Now on 2ww and I’m spotting quite badly. So worried that it’s an unsuccessful cycle… My beta test is on Tues.
Good luck and praying for the best for all us!
I feel you when the nurse called to say none made it to freezing stage
Good luck!! My beta test is this Thursday! Have you tested? I went ahead to test anyway and clear blue digital says I’m pregnant 1-2 but not getting my hope too high up until beta positive!
Happy for u! anyways! I’m taking this in my stride and shall decide later on if I want to go for another fresh cycle.Hey that’s great news! Urs will be positive, dont worry
My spotting has turned into full AF, so yeah, I’m out for my 1st cycle. Didnt even get to do HPT. So my blood test tmr is a bit like redundant *dry laughs

Good luck and baby dust to you! Meanwhile do what you can to prepare your body for the transfer.Congratulations, cloudxy
Me too, also at Sgh, also with Dr Yong TT.
Had two failed Fresh embryo transfers in 2020.
Still have 2 freezing embryos.
I'm planning for the Frozen embryo transfer in 2022. Also looking to transfer just 1 embryo at a time for 2022.
May your success be an inspiration to us
Agree on the preparing of body! Not sure if what i did helped but i drank tian yuan xiang pregnancy plan chicken essence while doing IVF. Gave it a shot since my friends recommended it to me, heard that it improves your body constitution!Good luck and baby dust to you! Meanwhile do what you can to prepare your body for the transfer.
Someone told me to eat lots of eggs while preparing but I didn't. Couldn't stomach the idea of constantly eating eggs lol so I just simply take CoQ10 & red dates tea which are easier
Hi. I succeeded before with a grade B blastocyst and also day 2 grade 4 embryo. Can I know what is the grade of the day 3 embryo tat doctor say is of good grade? For me I feel tat grade does play a role. I transferred grade C before but failed. Did Doctor tell u how many embryos u have as of today?
I took Doctor's Best CoQ10.
Nope it doesn't. I transferred a BC grade and i'm currently 20 weeks pregnant.
