We went for our IVF briefing and counselling session today at KKIVF. It was such a long wait since our consultation with Dr Sadhana in September. We arrived early and had to wait quite awhile for the other couples to arrive. While waiting in the room, we were given a folder containing information and forms related to the IVF treatment. Once it's full attendance, the nurse begin to go through the PowerPoint slides to share with us about the IVF process. She mentioned that we are all going to be put through the short protocol. There are plenty of people writing blogs and sharing information in the forum about their TTC experiences (including IVF). Since I've been reading up online, I (kind of) knew what to expect already. I thought that the session was more of a briefing rather than counselling. I felt that there wasn't really any counselling involved at all. Before departing, we filled up and signed all the necessary forms. Next, it's waiting time again, till AF to show up in December.
Total cost for KKH IVF briefing and counselling session (including GST): $337.05

First Consultation with Dr Sadhana
Two rounds of IUI didn't work for us. Although Dr Chin had recommended trying IUI 3 times, I am quite convinced that the 3rd wouldn't work too.
And now we are at our last resort - IVF. We wait for about one month between my call to make the appointment and the actual appointment. Dr Sadhana is the IVF doctor of my close friend's sister, who became pregnant after her 2nd embryo transfer (1st frozen cycle). I brought along our reports and tests results from Dr Chin. Dr Sadhana had a quick look at them and passed them to her nurse to make a copy of each to keep in my patient file. We told her the treatments we had done so far and mentioned that Dr Chin recommended for us to visit the government hospital for IVF. After the consultation, both DH and I had to take some blood tests, which are mandatory before starting IVF treatment.
Today's bill:
I'm scheduled for IVF in December. Can't wait!
