Hello all,
probably officially embarking on the TTC journey and need to find out more information.
DH and I went for the fertility test last Nov and the SA wasnt good (azoospermia)
Dr Loh SF suggested did his blood test and the results were all good- so he suggested going straight for IVF.
However I wanted to get a second opinion from a Urologist so we went to see a doc but gave up halfheartedly after he told us to do the Y-chromo blood test which will be about SGD 900.
the urologist suggestion was if the genetics are fine, then we'll probably need to go through TESE/MESA and then also to go straight into IVF.
DH and I then discussed we'll probably try the IVF at KKH (or the govt hospital) first since the grants and subsidies are still available-
we are taking a referral from the polyclinic and will join the KKH Queue soon.
But would really like to ask:
anyone here's whose husband has done TESE/ MESA before?
can you share what was the cost and if it was covered by medisave?
my research was that it will cost about 15k-18k in private and wouldnt be covered by insurance as it isnt "health related" so that shocked us terribly.
if anyone has information to share, please can you share it with me
i'll really appreciate it alot! thank you very much!
