My doc called me and I am due to do my ER on this coming Saturday. At the moment, I am on anti biotic and progestrone gel to be inserted into my virginal. That's to help the lining. Of course I am still taking folic acid. I am taking 2 instead of 1. I was informed that I had 13 eggs being...

So far, the only discomfort I felt is after removing those eggs. I don't feel any pain even though I heard many people saying that. I am amazed that the only "pain" I felt was after removing the eggs. However, it's only discomfort, not really pain. As for putting put, it's like papsmear which...

It might be better to get it directly from your gynae and at the same time do a sperm test to determine the quality of your DH sperm. My DH's wasn't good so instead of IVF, we were advised to go to ICSI straight away. Again, young men doesn't mean their sperms gonna be good condition. Older...

I think these days it doesn't really matter how old you could or should go for IVF. Some couples wheather young or old who have tried for several years and when there is no news to that, we had to seek other alternative. (considering ourselves lucky as we could afford for the IVF Programme) A...

I am doing it at O&G at Glen E. I seeked TCM sometime this Jan to make sure my health was ok and all along it was my womb that hasn't been good as it was on the cold side. A few intensive visit and medicine finally helped me. The TC Doc I saw is in ParkMall. Each visit is at least 200 for me...

Hi I guess whichever stages we failed would be devasting but you are right that one should be mentally prepared. However, no matter how much we are prepared, I think we would still be affected... Looks like there is no way to try to "secure" the baby or is there? Are you going for another...

Read about the news again recently and it was reported that the couple decided to keep the baby... It's a big challenge for them...

what other cost are u looking at? At the moment, just the medicine for daily jabs alone, I have spent about 3k plus for standard dosage. I heard it can be more costly if you required higher dosage. The 3K excluds consultation fee and blood test. So far, I have done 3x blood test (the test was...

I am going to start sometime next week. Next monday which is tomorrow will be my last visit and on weds I will have to remove my eggs and have it put back on Saturday. I did seek chinese medicine and now I have stopped. I was told my womb is not cool anymore so I stopped totally including...

Many people I know who went through IVF told me it's not easy, it's not cheap... it's not this and that... it's good to know all these to get a little mental prepared. But again, different people will experience different things, really. I am positive and chill about this process. I didn't...

I am 34 this year and trying for a 2nd baby for close to 2yrs plus I think. The 1st child didn't come easy. I guess I must have tried for 4 yrs. My gynae who deliver my 1st child ever suggested going for a fallopian tube check and I didn't want. I guess it was the cost. I was even on fertility...

Hi All... I thought I might start this thread for all ladies who are trying to concieve via IVF (if there is any). Would be nice to know each other's thoughts, experience and problems too... I have recently decided to go for IVF. In fact this thought became strongly sometime in April and...

When I visit My doc few days ago, he used TRAGIC when I mentioned about this case. It's indeed devasting and I am simply wondering if the couple will keep the baby. I have lost track of the news. I only knew yes they have closed down the "department" and not taking anymore new case... My hubby...

anyone holding fire after today's shocking news? IVF Mix Up at TMC?

I used clarins product during my 1st pregancy. It's oil but after application it doesn't feel oily. I use the oil more during the later trimester. Earlier stages I use their cream/lotion base products. Sometimes they have 20% off.
