Hi MoMoMum
Its true i agree this Dr Tan give some very standard ans to women like us.. PCOS .. and for men.. low sperm counts .. headless sperms etc.. I went to this Christopher Chen.. his nurses also reassure me that they are not related but the thing is.. when i went over right i did not mention anything on that i was referred by Dr Tan. I just said i want go for fertility test.. then is the nurse who approached the topic 1st by asking me.. did any doc refer Dr Chen to us? then we say yes.. we are referred to Dr Chen by this chinese doc.. i did not really rem her name then.. the nurse then ask me is it Dr Tan Lee Kee? Then i said not too sure since i cant rem.. then she ask me whether that doc got give me a paper stating her diagnosis etc.. which Dr Tan did gave me but she write till very messy i thought that is just a waste paper so i did not bring it along.. so i said no have. hehehe.. then the nurse say.. next time if she give must bring along. i m also quite skeptical .. if Dr chen so good.. he can diagnose himself .. why need Dr Tan's that waste
Anyway he proceed to do some test on me~ then the 2nd visit on my hubby.. got some lab test results .. so looks professional. He said i also got PCOS.. of coz the thot of it is scary.. so i ask him whether can i still conceive? then he said i got old eggs.. older than my age.. will be difficult unless i go for operation to clear my womb.. then i ask him if i go for the operations.. after that can i conceive? then he said he cant vouch it but he said at lest my eggs will be as old as i m.. and not older.. -.-" but he did said Dr Tan medicine will help me.. she help him advertise and he help her advertise.
I spent about a thousand plus there .. to do those tests..
Then after that i went back to this Dr Tan.. she said i no need take any operation just eat her medicine will do.. and from then i took her medicine for like 6 - 7 mths.. no results.. during this period.. there was this period of time
whereby my menses failed to come.. and my HPT was -ve.. then she referred me to this doc from CARE.. which is quite cheap.. i went there do blood test and very-scan to find out why no menses so long.. and happened to find a cyst but this cyst is not serious just take medicine and it clear.. Then i realised this doc from CARE also do those tests which Christopher Chen do for me.. it could have been cheaper ! But i heard stories of those couples who went to see Dr Tan and when she refer them to Dr Chen.. they say too ex and she got very angry and work up like she want cheat them of the money like that
Anyway after seeing the doc, of coz both me n my hubby got worried .. esp me.. i want a child so badly . And i got disappointed time after time when i see no results.. i decide to stop all these traditional chinese medicine treatments and stop seeing doc.. just try on my own and i manage to strike~ i think seeing these docs also add on to my stress and my expectation..
Oh ya i did refer a friend of mine to this Dr Tan and she said my friend got cysts in her womb so hard to conceive (not PCOS this time) and she advise her to see Dr Chen too. But my friend not very rich one.. so she decide to go to SATA just to do a scan and a test.. which cost i tink $100+ only and the
scan all show she is perfectly fine.
I cant say whether Dr Tan is good or bad.. but her biz is definitely good.. if so many ppl willing to go back n see her.. maybe she does have her skills .. and i managed to strike after stopping her medicine for 2 mths.. so perhaps prior to that the medicine did help? anyway.. no definite ans .. so its up to you whether to believe or not to believe in her..
Hi, P4nic.
See from your post your doc said that your eggs quality not very good as they r older, I hav similar symptoms and I'm seeing Dr Yu su ling in SGH, she prescript a kind of hormone pill to help to improve egg quality, it makes my 2nd ivf almost success as I actually got preg but lost at week 5, not sure is it due to I twisted my ankle badly that time.
U may want to try her.
