Agreed with Nitrous on the reasons not to share with others. No one will understand what IVF is until they go through it themselves (not that I wish it upon on anyone else)

I am currently undergoing my 1st IVF procedure now with Dr. Wong from SMC.
Quite anxious & excited that my ET will be carry out in 2 days time. And to find out the result in 2 weeks time.

The IVF will cost approximately RM15,500 (inclusive of all injections plus supplement to support the procedure). Storage of FE is free for the 1st 3 month and will cost RM1k for a year. FET will cost RM4.8k

I don't include any blood test/health screening cost as it is paid for by the company & part of my annual checkup.

The emotional roller coaster ride could break one spirit down, so please be prepared.

I was supposed to have my ET done last week, but it got canceled on the morning because none of the 18 fertilized eggs grow to the ideal cell count. (Ideally 8c)

Am I devastated? Not really. Perhaps it's because I've a very supportive partner & I'll bounce back soon and eventually find the next path.

May those who plan/undergoing IVF have your baby dream realize very soon.

The most recent blood test requested by my doc before the IVF.

Full blood count
Blood group
HIV 1 & 2
Hepatitis B
VDRL (STD)

But then again, your doctor may require more as I've underwent laparoscopy surgery with the same doctor before, so there is no need to test on FSH & LH.

For IVF, the rule of thumb is call & make appointment on Day 1 of your period. (Note: Heavy menses, spotting is not consider Day 1 of period.) Nobody expect you to make your appointment 1-month in advance.

The doctor/ nurse will then schedule to see you on Day 2/3.

Anyway, irregular period could be due to PCOS. You will have the option to perform laparoscopic surgery (then try naturally) or proceed to IVF, depending on how serious your condition is.
