oh u did the IVI..so how much have to pay????hmm how come dr cheng never mentioned abt the IVI to me....:err:
No nid to pay cos it's self-administered... that means do at home... Dun know leh, mayb diff problems diff needs?!? Well, also mayb cos we already tried naturally for quite a number of years, so try more clinical way. See whether it works better for us.

At least, u got more than 1 egg lor... I only had 1 miserable follicle growing... it's always 1 follicle per cycle... so chances are lower... :embarrassed:

i was told that we could only take clomid for 6 cycle...more than tat is not advisable...maybe tats y dr cheng didnt give u clomid...

ya...did gynae say y fail ???

from my understanding, they say from IVF, since they can see the quality of the "egg" n they wash the sperms, they r able to tell y the process fail unlike IUI....

by the way, u did it in which hospital ??? can claim rite ?

Hi Ally, sorry to hear about it. Appreciate that you can share your experience as I am also thinking of trying IVF. TMC offers simplified-IVF, not too sure whether it is much difference fm others. Thanks!

hi babylemon
the whole ivf process is quite long. i ve my first injection (lucrin) on the 4 jan then on 29 jan add in puregon injection , so 2 injections together then start scanning to see the follicle are of the rite size , if yes go back at nite to the hopital to take another injection , 1 day later extract follicle to find eggs ,after tat 1 day later transfer in embryo then injection again all the way to blood test to confirm whether u r pregnant or not . my process ended on the 7 march blood test negative .
it is very time consuming. i tink all ivf the process is the same. no short cut!

Welcome to the world of public hosp. I did 3 IUIs in SGH... all failed! But yet no explanation... only ask me to think abt doing IVF next... which is why I decided to switch to pte, to get better expert advice. :001_302:

Actually KKH & SGH are restructured hosp... meaning kinda pte but still run like govt! :001_302: Ya, but I agree... since we r not expert, then no choice... doc say "sit", we "sit"... "do" we "do"... guess we can't really pinpoint them cos we dun know wat shd be the actual process... sigh... pay so much but yet such care?!? :nah:

Hi Ally, thanks for the info...! Actually I am also very reluctant to try as there is so many injections and need to take time to extract eggs and all. Just going to TMC itself is already quite stressful as I had to see the dr during my lunch hrs and sometimes the waiting time is very long. But the dr has confirmed that IVF is my only chance. I just wonder whether there is miracle in this world...

Hi Oink, sad to hear abt ur IUI experience too. I am not too sure abt other hospitals but at TMC I managed to find the root of the problem. The damage already cost me $2500. Sad to say I dont even have a chance to try IUI as the chances is too low. Hope tat u will succeed under Dr Cheng.

Hi Ally....
I understand how you feel...coz all of us feel the same way too... thats y we are here to support and share with one another....

I've done IUI twice and its unsuccessful... The rest did the same like Oink, Lawla and Marylsha... eventhough we are dissappointed but we are still strong coz we have each other.

Don't worry keep on trying hopefully all of us strike together...:Dancing_wub:
