Hi.. I am schedule for IVF counselling in 2 weeks time.. anyone here doing and I be happy if i can hear some experience from everyone here.
 


Hi, I'm also new here. I just went for my counseling on Monday, due to start oral meds on Friday... A little bit scared and nervous because of all the hormones the jabs will introduce to my body.
 
Ya...I m nervous too.. dunno what to expect during the counselling. Yes to the hormones pills.. dunno how haywire the body will be haha. Let's
 
Hihi, my first post here. Just went to collect my report and was informed that i have low egg count and my cysts are back. Suggested by doctor to go for ivf directly and is scheduled for e counselling next week.

Hoped both of you are progressing well! Jiayou!
 
Hey all. I'm currently doing my second IVF cycle. I know you must feel nervous going into it the first time but the jabs are actually not bad and you will get used to it quickly. I did not experience much differences in terms of mood and my body. Just the feeling of bloatedness which will come and go. Just maintain a healthy diet, drink lots of water, rest well and stay positive! Good luck to you!
 
I had met Dr Shankira at Clinic G and she is the one who recommened me to start the ivf cycle. Very nice and encouraging doctor indeed.

Going to start my jabs next week, yet to meet any doctor specifically for the ivf. :)

Yeah.. she is a sweet doc.

I am scheduled to start in Feb too. Hopefully IUI works this month and i don't need to go thru IVF *cross fingers*
 
I have realised that Low AmH with caused infertility and AMH level will not reverse anymore.my amh is 1.2 in 2017. However my doctor still push me to do iui. As resulted i have failed 2 iui and ivf cycle.

For patient like me low AMH with husband sperm poor mobility. Shall doctor advise me to straight to ivf instead iui? I am 36 this year and i started consultation in my 34.

Seems like AMH alone is not an accurate measure of fertility. it can't tell yr egg quality and it may differ slightly off just a few days apart. maybe u want to recheck yr AMH. Antral follicle count via ultrasound will probably tell u better how many follicles u have , ie potential eggs.

dr's call. think no clear cut answer.
No doctor tell me to hurry up when I saw them at 38, only one doc told me don't waste time... at 39. 41 Liao, still TTC.

That was my last 2 embryo... and for tis cycle i did acupuncture and drink TCM medicine....

Any idea how to better prepare the body? Currently i only take multi vitamin and folic acid as supplements.

I try ubiquinol and dhea to prepare my egg quality. Just continue ur tcm . My tcm say ideally is to go tcm for 6 months before trying for ivf again

Hi Nusha

I got a biochemical preg for my frozen transfer in Nov last year. But mine is not even a blast yet eventhough it is a day 6 embryo.

Did your doctor share with you any possible reason? Day 6 expanded blast sounds good to me, since your embryos can survived till day 6 and grow till expanded blast.

Do you plan to try again?

Hi Eggscather

You are not alone, we are on the same boat. I’m here with hope to find strength to pickup myself after failing my 3rd cycle.

Right now I’m feeling confuse... A part of me want to go for the last 2 subsides cycle and another part of me is having doubts abt it.

How abt you? Are you gg for another cycle?

Hi Lishi
So Sorry to hear on your biochemical pregnancy... How are you doing now? Are you planning for another cycle?

As for my 3rd cycle failure, I have not meet up with the doctor. My appt will be on this 22 Jan...

My 1st fresh cycle failure, doctor said it could be because of OHSS and the eggs quality. As during that cycle they retrieved abt 20 eggs but only 1 survived to day 5 blastocyst for the transfer and no frozen. But during the 2WW apart from the crinone gel and progrnova tab, i need to get the progesterone injection on the butt for 14days tat was no joke it’s painful and even after i got to know tat the cycle failed it took abt 3-4 mth for my butt to recover from the 14days of injections. I concluded tat my body is reacting to well with the med. so i rest for abt 8mth and try again.

My 2nd fresh cycle, 12 eggs was retrieved and 4 survived to day6 expanded blasts. No transfer was done to prevent OHSS. 4 embryo frozen.

My 1st frozen cycle failure, i did the wall scrapping thingy(painful) on day14 than wait for menses to come do blood test n scan for day1. Lining was 9mm and 2 embryo was transferred. Doctor can’t really explain on why the cycle fail, since the lining is normal and 2 expanded blasts was transferred. They say maybe the eggs quality was not good or maybe the lining needs to be thicker. I conclude maybe my womb is cold so i rest for 2 mth and did another frozen cycle.

My 2nd frozen cycle failure, i did not do the wall scrapping thingy instead do a 1 time injection on the butt. I did acupuncture and Drink TCM med. Lining was 11 mm and 2 embryo was transferred.

So now I’m back to square one....Haiz....
This journey is such a roller coaster...now a part of me want to try again after resting for 6 mth but another part of me is in doubt...
 
Hi, Nusha!
You didn’t go for therapeutic hysteroscopy?
I’m also with NUH, after first fresh ended with chemical pregnancy, Prof Wong sent to hysteroscopy, Dr Anu found there 3 polyps and a lot of micro polyps.
After that was BFP frozen, but miscarriage at week 8.
Now preparing for second fresh, if I’m lucky, thinking to collect eggs, freeze them, go for therapeutic hysteroscopy again to make sure that my lining is perfect.
Hysteroscopy is claimable from medisave, not so costly in gov hospital.

Hi Alishablond
It’s great to know someone positively trying for their next IVF cycle.
Can tell me more about this therapeutic hysteroscopy? Cos both dr chew n dr sakinah nvr mentions abt tis test to me before...

diagnosis hysteroscopy it’s when Dr insert camera into you to see womb lining, not painful, no harm bc no anesthesia. You also see everything, there is a tv screen. If they see polyps, will send you for therapeutic hysteroscopy to remove polyps under sedation anesthesia. Diagnostic hysteroscopy is 250$ after medisave, therapeutic is 2000$ after medisave for private patients in NUH. No queue, they schedule me in 2 days time.

Hi Nusha,

For my case, I had rested for 1 yr already since my 3rd cycle, used up all subsidy, 1st soiui was in kkh, 2nd is ivf and 2x fet in kk, 3rd fresh ivf in nuh no fet, u can try rest first and boost up ur body first before try again, after i failed, i quit my job and went holiday to feel happy again then now i look for other alternatives, try chinese essence and do more exercises to regulate my mense cycle, then as i had exhausted all subsidy, i may try other countries or use donor eggs however my SA is not keen on donor eggs/embryos, as age is catching up for me, I feel like giving up already but on the other side i feel shld try before 40...

Hi Nusha

I have one day3 embryo left and frozen right now.. so most likely I will transfer this embryo.
I am still hopeful that one day miracle will happened but just dunno when..

You can see your doctor 1st and then plan your next step.

Btw the wall scrapping thingy are you referring to endo scratch? I did it too for my fet but resulted in biochemical preg.
But I did not do the endoscratch for my 1st fet, which was also a biochemical preg.

I totally understand how you feel. I think I would take a rest awhile and boost my body and give it another try before 35.

Praying for miracle... who knows while boosting our body and changing lifestyle and diet it can happen naturally...baby dust to us

Yup wall scrapping is endo scratch. Seem like do or never do the endo scratch don’t impact much on the results. That’s nice you still have embryo frozen... wish you success for the cycle

Yup endoscratch effectiveness is not scientifically proven.

Thanks Nusha.
Let’s continue to work towards our dream of our miracle baby ya!

My last cycle is ard 1k dollar cash for consultation, medicines and blood tests for myself and SA after govt grant and medisave deduction. It is cheaper in public hospitals depends what the doc prescibe and tests conducted.

Really? I thought we have to pay at least 6k cash for each cycle after govt grant and medisave. My appointment with kkh is on 22 Jan. Good luck to you my dear.
 
How about ER and ET? govt subsidiary enough to cover the cost?

For ER and ET both subsidies by govt. i did 2 fresh cycle n 2 frozen cycle.. all 4 cycle I don’t have to pay cash for the ET & ER, except for some medicine and blood tests ( if needed) which near to 1k per cycle.

I am going to kkh today. Just for consultation. If I need to go for ivf, what is the waiting time? Few months?

Hi ladies, im new here and thinking of starting ivf with nuh. Can i ask if anyone went through the polyclinic route to get a referral letter for nuh, or go straight to nuh for an appt as a private patient, what are the differences?

Would like to get whatever infomation i can before making a decision..thanks in advance!
 
Hello everyone,

I did one IUI but failed. Can request opt for IVF directly? Is this NUH protocol has to go through 3 times IUI before IVF journey?

Referral letter from polyclinic if you don’t have preference gynae. Wait for 1-2 weeks NUH will send sms for your appointment. Usually the appointment about 1 month. Consultation and examination will entitle subsidy rate.

If you call to NUH direct to make appointment it will be considered private patient and can choose your prefer gynae and no subsidy.

Once start with IVF journey it will be private patient for all.
 

My experience is to prepare for the egg collection:
Qoo10, Blackmores conceive well, Exercise regularly, Drink home-made black soy milk
After egg collection, drink watermelon juice or energy drink.
After embryo transfer, lie on bed often but don't lie all the time.

Hi.. I am schedule for IVF counselling in 2 weeks time.. anyone here doing and I be happy if i can hear some experience from everyone here.
