For the Semen Analysis.. overall result is okay. So, he said we can start our IVF whenever we want. At first we want to start IVF in my next cycle, but after calculating my period and IVF days, it seems the embryo transfer will be done on our first day of fasting month (Ramadan). Means we definitely cannot do our IVF in my next cycle. The doctor then suggested that we start IVF the cycle after raya (which is another 3 months). The doctor suggested for us to start taking the following vitamins as a preparation for the IVF :
For hubby:
1. Centrum Multivitamin - 1 tablet per day (Brand Wyeth)
2. Vitamin C - 500mg per day (Any brand)
3. Vitamin E - 400iu per day (Any brand)
4. Coenzyme Q10 - 60mg twice per day (Any brand)
For me:
1. Folic Acid - 400mcg or 0.4 mg per day
After finished our session with the doctor, we went to another room, just next to the doctor's room. Dr Prashant assistant / nurse explained in detail the whole IVF process and the cost of the IVf at the clinic. The package for IVF was quoted at RM17,000 which includes all injections (no matter what the dosage is), medications, egg retrieval process, embryo transfer and until the beta blood test is done. The cost for frozen embryo and its storage is not included. Payment can be made either by cheque, cash or credit card. For credit card, 2% admin charges will be imposed. If RM17,000, means the interest will be RM340. (This cost is valid as of this post is published)
If we are ready to start IVF, on Day 1 period, we just need to call the clinic/sms her if it is weekend to set appointment on either Day 2 or Day 3 period. We were also given some reading materials of IVF for our reference..
So.. total spending for 2nd visit RM140... Ka-ching again !

For the hormonal imbalance.. i'm not sure there is any specific supplements for this problem. But from what i know.. the Evening Primrose Oil is good for women health.. it helps to reduce the PMS symptoms.
I found this article in the internet that also shows that evening primrose oil relates to the hormonal imbalance

Maybe you can ask your doctor whether this supplement is suitable for your hormonal imbalance or not. Else.. you may ask the doctor to recommend a good one.
Take care... jams
