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  , 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!!!

My fresh IVF i feel ok with all the injection. So just relax and not worry everything will be alright. Good luck
