Haha,  biggrin.gif your daughter is so cute.  wink.gif
Ya, maybe you are right. I think is the right time to go for a holiday and relax myself.my husband is quite busy with his work. Have to talk to him. 
Actually my stress level is increased day by day. Especially during new year, the period before cny coming.  blink.gif u know that relatives sure ask “when you want to have a baby?”   bangwall.gif
*
it is really a blessing for me to have a healthy n cute baby girl. meanwhile for u need reduce your stress level no matter what, this is a must. added, relative stress on cny, i truely understand.. this u need to ask yourself whether u can handle it or not if can't handle u can think about skipping cny with holiday trip 😂

beside stress level, u can add on some supplements of Chinese herbs which my wife had taken it before ivf. no 100% promises but at least we did what we should. for the chinese herbs formula, u may contact my wife directly thru fb page i mentioned before so she can explain to u or if u wants me to explain more details and pm me too.

Thanks so much your reply. We went lab can check, told sperm got prob so may need iui, so jus wonder how much it cost ? It will b a burder for us.
*
not so sure about iui prices, but some friends did told is about 3-4k for private and for gov i they said is really cheap n not sure they saying is real or not as in rm1. however the rates is sure low, been told most of them failed, maybe i did not have any testimonial from the success ppl before.

howver, ivf is a burden to me too. i go for it and stick with the plan then it should be ok. if your age is stil young, u may try iui else should go for ivf.

all that best to be a parent! 😀

do u noe roughly the cost of gender selection cost ?
*
Hi,

To be exact to your question, gender selection process cost "that I know", is like below;

1. Microsort cost USD1,800 *As up to date rates*, The amount is in USD because is done by US company for the Fertility Centre *that I knows* (effectiveness of sorting, 70-80% accuracy)

2. PGS can be add on for 100% accuracy *depending on availability of Fertility Centre*, this process only can be done in Blastocyst Stage because it examines the DNA of Blastocyst. *As what I knows* this process can cost vary ranging from RM5K initial first Blastocyst to RM3K per/Blastocyst depending on how many it can be done. Let say if u got 3 Blastocyst will be calculate as below;
1st Blastocyst = RM5K
2nd Blastocyst = RM3K
3rd Blastocyst = RM3K
Total = RM11K (prices are vary depending on Fertility Centre, and this is their current rates that I know)

Anyway, I came on this forum basically just to ask if anyone knows of a good IVF clinic in KL, Malaysia. It's not easy trying to figure out which clinic is good and which ones are not so good when you live on the other side of the planet from Malaysia. And reading 'reviews' on the internet hasn't helped much either ... I can't even find any reviews on many of these IVF clinics.
*
Hi Turbota. Base on my experience if you were looking for a reliable IVF centre in Malaysia, I would recommend Alpha fertility centre. But this is purely base on my personal experiences. I have some notes written in here https://www.facebook.com/notes/%E6%88%91%E7...46292405645753/ if u likes to know what I had goes thru the whole process. My English is not very good but hopefully it will helps u to know more about IVF process in this facility base on my own experiences.

U said u were not local and travel far away, u had mention that whole IVF process took 1 month.. sadly this 1 month is base on standard process timing and for every different individual might takes different timing, however 1 month is the minimum. *cross finger for everything goes smoothly, my wife took 36 days to be exact according to my log*. Again, is very depending on each individual.. all these numbers is only base on records until doctor have do all the screening n test only able to know further, added need to wait for medication take effects on it and again each individual is different.

As far as I know, if u are not local.. if u plan to stay 1 month is way to tight, if u able to stretch it more than 2 month is be safer when u do planning. I have friends from East Malaysia and also success the IVF process in this facility by taking their flight to West Malaysia for 2 days 1 night, see doctor and get all the medication then fly back to East. After all the medication done come fly back West to do OPU and stayed for few more days *this is IF everything goes smoothly*. As u from so far is not able to do so, unless u can travel twice to Malaysia else u really need to stay for 2 months ++.

hope this info at least helps u a bit, good luck to your journey.

skydrake ...

Thanks for the info. I will send Alpha an email.

One of the big problems with all this is the airline tickets. I need to buy round trip tickets from the USA to Malaysia, but it is almost impossible know on what date I need to have the return ticket for. I can see that no matter what date the return ticket is, it will more than likely need to be changed at some point in time. Not only are round trip airline tickets from the US to Malaysia expensive, but changing the return date is also expensive.

And since we don't live in Malaysia, we would need to find a hotel close to the IVF clinic for at least a full months stay ... Maybe these hotels will give you a discount if you tell them your going to stay there for at least a full month.

We were looking to have this IVF done maybe in Thailand, but Thailand just recently changed the law ... They are not allowed to perform IVF anymore on an unmarried women (such as a divorced woman) ... I don't know what the law is in Malaysia concerning IVF on an unmarried woman?

Anyway, this whole thing is very complicated.
*
Oh well, now u mentioning about unmarried. As far as I know, it can't be done in this facility without marriage. About he hotel, I know the closes hotel/motel to this facility centre which is just few steps away from the hotel main door to the facility main door and I guess accommodation is not an issue as long as u have money to pay. most importantly now is your marriage issue or unmarried might cause the problem to proceed IVF process in this facility. doh.gif

Well, in our situation, we were married in the Philippines, but were later divorced while living in the United States (she was actually born in the Philippines, but is now a US citizen)

However, since the Philippines is a Catholic country, there is no such a thing as divorce there. You are married for life unless you get a court ordered annulment ... So, we are still legally married in the Philippines.

All my wife would have to do is bring to Malaysia her legal Philippines marriage certificate that shows that she's married to me ... And I will also be with her while in Malaysia ... Done deal

I really feel bad for my ex-wife .... She has always wanted to have a baby ("to make my life complete"), and I told her before we ever got married 10 years ago that I had a vasectomy. It was never a surprise to her.

She tried 4 times to get pregnant using sperm from a sperm bank here in the US. All attempts were unsuccessful. Then she finds out that she has blocked fallopian tubes. So, IVF is the only hope for her at this point in time. And since she is now 34 years old, her time is running out.
.
*
ic, in that case u if u like to know more or Q&A for facility can ask my wife assist u because she have friends in the facility and can make arrangement for u directly. u may msg her thru this FB page https://www.facebook.com/ivfjourney2015/

btw, means now both of u stay together or u in US and she is in PH?

At the moment, she is living back in the Philippines and I am here in the US.

If she does this IVF pretty soon, I will fly to the Philippines and then we will fly together to KL, Malaysia.
__________________________

After the IVF is finished, we both fly back to the Philippines together, then I will fly by myself back to the US.

I see, wish u can find a reliable facility soon. As mentioned before, if u likes to know more about Alpha Fertility can let me know. Good luck! rclxms.gif

Thanks for the link. The problem is that the facebook paqe is mostly in Chinese ... Unfortunatly, I don't read Chinese, so I don't understand most of it.

There seems to be many advertisements on that facebook page for Alpha ... Does your wife work for Alpha ?
______________________________

Anyway, I sent an email to Alpha, but have not received a reply yet. I will give them some time to respond (if they ever do respond).

I also asked them how much all this will cost since there website does not give any prices.
*
U can PM the page with English so my wife can answer u more details. She don't work for Alpha, basically she is a blogger and sharing her/our success testimonial of IVF baby is at Alpha and helps out people to know more about IVF. The price that we spend for IVF is around rm25k+ and this is also the average price most people pay, prices not showing is because everyone might cost a different price depending on what type of treatment and medication.

I sent Alpha an email with some questions I have. As of now, they have not replied. I am going to give Alpha a couple more days to reply. If they still don't reply by then, I will look elsewhere for another clinic ... A business that does not reply to legitimate emails from a potential patient / customer obviously don't need anymore business ... so I can take my money elsewhere.

BTW ... You stated that you paid RM25,000
________________________________

About a week ago, I got a reply from a clinic called Metro IVF. Here was there response to the cost at there clinic:
"IVF for women 35yo n below will be RM16000. This package would cover the medications, consultations n scans DURING IVF treatment. Extra costs will b incurred during luteal support stage & also if u under or over respond, or if there r extra embryos for freezing".

*
I see.

Yes. I had paid roughly 25k plus minus. I did not really calculate exactly what amount I had paid each bill.

I see you had found a relatively lower price than IVF center I had that replied your email, just for your information.. I'm just sharing my experiences what I had been thru and hope it will helps in your research of IVF centre. Be honest, at first my wife also doing the same thing as u r which is comparing prices and reliability of the facilities.. I had told here, price is secondary important in our search when reliability come first and we only made our decision going for this centre. Come to say this way, results of IVF success rate is really depending few requirements/points below;

Patients side needs to have, 1. legit marriage 2. body condition require to be pregnant without out health issue 3. money *this comes to 3rd because without 1&2 got money also no use*

Facilities side needs to have, 1. doctor with experience & skills *someone that had won more than 100 battles at least for example* 2. lab & technologies *I tot every facilities will have the same tech and I'm wrong* 3. Administration & management *yes, this is as important as u said.. replying customer/patient email is important as I agreed too.*

Is good that u taking time doing research, I bet u will find a good facilities. thumbup.gif

I would rather pay a little more for better medical care ... Money is not that big of a problem for me.

The problem I am having with Alpha seems to be the same problem I had with Concept Fertility Care ... They don't answer emails.

I am still waiting for a reply from Alpha ... I just don't know why they are not replying to me?  confused.gif

The email address I used to send my questions to Alpha is the one I got right off there website. but again, no reply yet from them.
*
Maybe I can help u call them from here to ask them reply your mail if u wan, since my telco package have unlimited call and it won't cost me any. I just need to know which email address u sent your mail to them and what is your email so I can ask them to check and reply u. hope it helps biggrin.gif
