An admirable spirit of perseverance

Written by reader Joshua

We have gone through all the steps with PC Wong (3 times IVF). Even pc wong cannot tell us why it didnt work. He said after the insertion process, it is up to God. He suggest to do ivf together with acupuncture. We also visited Sinshe Ms Tan Siew Buoy, Sinshe Dr Tan Kian Seng also in between.

All with no luck.

We tried Sinshe Tan Siew Lan also.

We had our first pregnancy in 2005, but there was no heart beat in week 8.

We had our second pregnancy during our consultation with Sinshe Tan
Siew Lan (forgot the year but before IVF), but there was a problem
with the pregnancy as the embrio has no skull (anenchepaly) and we had
no choice but to do abortion.
There is no test for the first failed pregnancy. The gynae told us to try again.

On second failed pregnancy, the gynae did suggest to do chromosome test but me and my wife feel that we should not proceed with the test and keep on trying.I have low sperm motility. I really wish I can do something but there is nothing I can do except hoping and have faith.

I'm sure people on this journey would understand the feeling when you look at other people or

friend that once they married, few months later they pregnant. It
looks so easy to them hahaha

The feeling when people ask you: Do you have kids? When are you going
to have kids? :)"

    Totoally underdstand how both of u goin through and the feelings because i myselg or rather ourselves r trying to get hv a baby too...
    Some people thought that saying is easier but they never never know how difficult is it to be.
    Some can get pregnant soon and 1 after and anothet. But why not me? I always asked myself. What have I done to get this treatment?
    However always been telling myself perhaps the fate is not here for me yet. Maybe heaven has arranged it one fine day, yes sure there will be a day that i will be carrying my own child in my arms.
    Do not get affected by all the questions being asked, just politely answer, soon sooon its on the way.... :)

    Have a nice Sunday ahead.

TCM Physician Tan Siew Buoy 陈秋梅 - What is she like?

I saw many visitors on Dr Tan's posts. In fact, it is my most popular post. I shall do a detailed post of what a visit to her clinic is and I hope that this would benefit you if you are considering to consult her. First of all, the address in Chinatown - Health and Beauty Pte Ltd 康得美 38 Upper Cross Street, Singapore 058341, Singapore 6534 4137 Two days ago, I received a call from her clinic. They would always do a reminder before the appointment. I went to Chinatown and managed to find a lot. Her clinic is situated within a large Chinese Medical Hall called Health and Beauty - Kang De Mei. I tore out a coupon of an hour as the car park attendant is rather active in that area. I will always park along Mosque Street. I walked along the row of shops and reported to the receptionist. The lady would ask for my number (every patient has a number) and write my name on a piece of paper. She would then place the paper according to the sequence of appointed time with the other...

TCM Physician Tan Lee Kee of Ying Chuan Chinese Medical Hall in Jurong

I was growing increasingly impatient with Dr Tan Kian Sing for reasons stated below. Once again, just like Dr Ang Mui Choo's prescription, I experienced no improvement in my health and cycles. I was still ovulating late and my BBTs were not ideal.  It was dubious that the prescription would be the same for every woman. I thought the best part of TCM was that the doctor could prescribe individual medication according to the body's constitution? I got increasingly uneasy over eating tablets that were unnamed, let alone regulated. I was okay with eating herbs but I really had no trust in those tablets.  Dr Tan's prediction of my ovulation was not very accurate. I hated the long waiting time at the waiting area. I disliked sachets of powdered instant herbs mixture. They were awful to drink to the point of gagging at times. I also read bad reviews of instant herbs mixture online. Furthermore, those sachets were made in China and recently, there were so much bad press abo...

Prof Arijit Biswas highly skilled in high risk pregnancies

I first heard of NUH through my BFF. During her first pregnancy, she was six months pregnant and her gynae in Thomson Medical Centre discovered that her baby's head growth was abnormal and they could not detect the reason. Her gynae referred her to Prof Biswas and said that he was one of the best doctors to deal with complicated pregnancies and he was experienced with doing foetal blood sampling. Prof Biswas was the one who suspected that the baby could have Thalassemia. True enough, the baby had it and it was major type, meaning, it would be stillborn even if she had carried him to term. They had no choice but to remove her baby. She and her husband would always have one in four chance that the baby would be a stillbirth. Her second pregnancy also ended up having an abortion due to the same reason. She shouldered on and conceived a third time. By now, she was Prof Biswas's patient. During her 27 week, she had contractions and was warded. She was labeled as preterm danger. ...
