You need to take care of your diet, both of you.
Eat more vegetable, less meat.

Sleep enough, drink less coffee.

You and your wife health must be good first.

Hi all,

My wife and I have been TTC for about 4 years. No luck. Early last year we went to TMC, tried IUI 3 times, all failed. Dr. Menon then recommended IVF. However, he left TMC at the end of 2013, so we're in a dilemma about where to go next.

I'm looking at SunFert, Metro IVF, Alpha and Sime Darby Subang (old SJMC).

Anyone have any info on any one of the above hospitals and their success rates.

Thanking you in advance!

he alone is responsible of 50% revenue of TMC IVf centre..

however .. with that reputation , it gets busy when u r trying to see him smile.gif

Hi sorry just saw your post..and I just dropped into the section looking for some tips and saw your thread

You could try Dato' Dr Prashant Nadkarni of KL fertility (In collaboration with Monash IVF). Me and my wife were successful under his care..

Just sharing some experience, my wife and I did went for 2 rounds of IVF procedure, and still doing it now...
Round 1 : IVF at Sunfert under Dr Wong. Unsuccessful even with 3 Grade A embryos. Still have one frozen embryo there but wife decides not to go back there until we seek second opinion.
Round 2 : Now under Dr Helena Lim at KL Fertility and Dr Yuan at Xi Fertility (they work together). Dr Helena is very nice, and knows that there are much more than just blocked tubes in my wife's case, and together with Dr Yuan, prep my wife and me before even starting the IVF, ensuring the best chances of success (Dr Helena always say, "You must do your "homework" before starting IVF ya...") nod.gif . It took us 3 months to prep for it... and we are starting the IVF injections whenever my wife's second day arrives (anytime now).

Good luck in your journey TS. You can ping me if you want to know more about the whole process.

Err... you successfully conceived and delivered? But your ID shows that you are a dude.... biggrin.gif

Anyway, just a FYI that our fresh cycle ET (embryo transplant) was not successful at KL Fertility this round, results came back negative. Guess we will try again, since we have 5 embryos frozen at KL Fertility.
Got 3 more chances to get it right, so hopefully it will turn out better next round. However, with that said, the overall experience at KL Fertility was excellent, Dr Helena is very attentive and caring to my wife, so my wife is happy to continue her frozen cycle at KL Fertility when the time has come...

I used my husband account. So sorry to heard this bad news. My first round also failed, I succeed at second time (FET). FET sucess rate better than fresh because is natural cycle, no hormone injection etc. Dr Helena is my gynae till delivered because she is such lovely and caring gynae although her charge is not cheap.

Hi.. I am married and trying, struggling to conceive for the past 7 years. Now i am crossing 38 years. Have tried many options abroad, but could not get success. i am planning to move to india for the treatment since the treatment is good and also the success rates are high and most importantly the rates are also minimal compared to us, uk and other countries. so, one of my friends is in Chennai, a place in india. looking for the best centre for ivf in chennai. friends pls give me the best suggestions.

Hi all,

Thank you for the replies. Appreciate every single one.

After a few months of thinking, preparing...I think my wife and I are finally ready. We are most likely going to go with Alpha Fertility Centre at Kota Damansara. We felt extremely comfortable with Dr. Leong and we feel that this is the right choice for us. If all goes well, our appointment to start would be mid-April.

Nonetheless, all options mentioned here are excellent choices and I feel anyone TTC should explore all avenues given.

This is going to be our first IVF, I'm 36 and my wife is 31. The doctors were very confident with our chances as the problem is with me cry.gif , not my wife. She checked out A-OK. However, we are more tapered with our expectations and keeping in mind this is going to cost a fair bit of money, approx 18-22k, I'm cautiously hopeful.

I'll probably be PM'ing some of you over the next few weeks before we start, if we have any questions, if you don't mind.

Some general questions, (Sorry if it sounds too direct, just that I need some info)

1. How old was your better half when doing your first IVF?
2. How much did it cost you?
3. How did you manage the emotional roller-coaster during the month?
4. Did you inform your immediate families of your decision? How were their responses? - I've spoken to some of my family members earlier on, they were unable to accept the fact that we couldn't conceive naturally, their answers were "Just take a holiday", "Need to reduce your stress", "It only takes one", "don't worry, it'll happen". But now they seem to be coming along very slowly. Took awhile and a lot of heated conversations, though.
5. (Sorry if this question is painful) -> If you were not successful on your first try, did the doctor try to explain why?

Thanks again and good luck to all of you on your journey!!!

1. First IVF, I was 35 and she was 34. Just a FYI, the reason why we went for IVF was because wife had both her fallopian tubes blocked, hence no other method besides IVF to get pregnant. But as noted earlier, we have gone through 2 failed rounds, hence we are thinking there are more than meets the eye (literally).
2. Round 1 : Sunfert around 30k-ish, including freezing of remaining embryo and a day-care surgery to remove some polyps.
Round 2 : KL Fertility and Xi TCM Fertility Center (they work together, one Western medicine and one Chinese medicine), 25k-ish and adding up, excluding upcoming FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer) to transfer the remaining frozen embryo at a later date.
Total to date (more to come) : 55k with some spare change to pump petrol and parking, so be prepared...
3. So far my wife has been good throughout the IVF process. Not all women gets hot flashes. She did shed a tear though, when the pregnancy test results came about... so be strong, and encourage her. Speak to those who have gone through the experience, that would help a lot sometimes...
4. No. A few reason to keep it a secret :
4.1 They do not understand the process and what is going on, and will probably insult you for going through that process ("Why do u spend do much on it? Just go for a break la! Don't work so hard." or "SEE! Told you to marry the other women")
4.2 Without realizing themselves, they are actually a burden and a source of stress to your wife during the process. You and your wife needs a quiet time to go through this peacefully, not yapping or nitpicking aunts and mothers... Imagine if the IVF process fails, you'd need to answer to them too, in which the answer probably be "I don't know".
4.3 Further repercussion later on when the baby is born. I know coz I have cousins conceived via IVF, and they nicknamed her the "million-dollar baby". That is something that your kid had to go through unfortunately if they were to know.
5. Don't expect any answers from them. With 2 failed rounds, both doctors are unable to fully diagnose why it has failed (refer to 4.2 as well), although KL Fertility was better managing our expectations by helping us analyze where they think has gone wrong (and next steps to overcome them). There are still powers-to-be which controls human's destiny, and it does not come from the doctor's room or the operating table.

Good luck in your journey.. and all the best to both of you

So seem alot of people here are said Dr Helena is good. So i hope i really choose a correct doctor n fertility center then. Any idea how to prepare our self before proceed to IVF?

Now i really worried my 1st ivf will fail as financial are tied after this. Good to hear that some of you are success in IVF. Happy to hear that.

Thanks

Hi, any idea how much the cost for IVF at KL Fertility under Dr Helena? I afraid can't get a good quality. If you got an extra good egg frozen atleast the 2nd time IVF wont cost you about 15k right?

Thanks
