Ivf- Kato Repro Biotech Center

[Johanna2010]

thanks sis!

[Billie13]

Sis johanna 2010, since minimal stimulation, 2-3 lang ang harvest na egg. So on next cyle same procedure: labs, oral meds w or w/o injectables,  then retrieval. If na fertilized 2-3 in one cylce, they can use the remaining sa next so lalabas na mas mura. Egg retrieval costs 50T and the transfer a little over 50T. Mag add lang sa cost are the hormonal levels test, average 5-6T per visit including consult and ultrasound. Tests are a lot cheaper compared to other centers, i compared to account of one sis in the ivf thread. They also provide the meds. On my 1st try, 2 days after retrieval nag ET na, 2nd try they freeze the egg and ET on my next cycle. Ive no remaining embryo from 1st cycle so i had to take meds and underwent retrieval on 2nd try. You may check website for the costs. I think sa iba, injectables take up the bulk of the cost. Try go, they take care if you. But i think for those opting to have 3-4 eggs in one transfer, they don't allow it. They want singleton pregnancy, to reduce the risk. Check out news from US, a 45y/o grandma acted as surrogate with only single embryo,one try only snd completed to term.

I'm going back to kato on the 3rd day of my af. Naka sched na ko for monitoring ng hormones ko. Hindi na ko for natural kase with my condition na may blocked tube ako. Pero tingnan pa rin daw namin. I'm just waiting for my af. Nag pt ako knina, saktong 2 weeks after ako na #2 iui, pero negative ang test kanina.

Sis Billie13, do you mean nag try ka din ng natural ivf sa kato then unsuccesfull tapos, nag mini ivf ka and dun ka na preggy? Dahil sa first try mo 2 day embryo transfer ka, then yun next mo may stimulation na  then egg retreival tapos next cycle mo pa un tranfer..tama po ba sis?

[Billie13]

Sis cel_calayag, 1st try clomiphene lang, 2nd try clomiphene w 2 doses of gonal f. Im on my 2ww right now, God-willing,positive.

[Billie13]

Higher rate daw of pregnancy if embryo transferred is post- frozen and unstimulated yun cycle, meaning no medications. They will check hormone levels before the transfer.

[somedaymom]

Sis cel, yes i will update all of you pag punta ko ulit ng kato.
Sis johanna, welcome again to the journey kumbaga. Goodluck to all of us.

[Billie13]

Sis somedaymom, go ahead with ivf. Ako kc umabot sa 7 iui coz ayoko mag ivf but eventually went for it. Sayang ang time and money, or thinking about it, ito siguro ang best time for us.   

[Johanna2010]

thanks sis!

[somedaymom]

Yes sis billie. I guess everything that we do will eventually lead us to the right time...the perfect time for us to have our baby/babies. Goodluck to all of us mga sis!

[cel_calayag]

Sis billie may i know how much inabot nga  1st and 2nd ivf mo? Thanks and my prayers goes for you sis!

[Billie13]

Sis cel_calayag, on my 1st ivf ,P125T lang. I only took clomiphene , kasama na sa price ang meds like clomiphene, duphaston and crinone. [textspeak!] transfer. I only had 2 check up prior to egg harvest, then ET after 2 days. On my 2nd one ,P217T. Mas mahal kasi wala na discount sa egg retrieval and nagtaas konti ang hormonal tests. Also, my embryo was frozen, mas charge din. Included na din ang gonal f. Bale 2 months na ff up included dyan. 1st month, labs and harvest; 2nd month, labs and ET. Mas madami din ako ff up prior to ET, every ff up check nila hormones. Sample:
      Hormones 1496@
      PF and ultrasound 560@
      Egg harvest. 50,200
      ET 39,200
      Embryo freezing 16,800
      Egg culture 22,400
      Insemination 11,200
More or less yan ang common charges. They usually test 3-4 hormones per visit, so dun lang medyo lumaki cost. Other charges are in their website.  So kung clomiphene lang mura din and since they don't super stimulate you ,minimal din gonal f injections. Hope this helps.

hello mga sis share ko lang (baka kase makatulong din kahit konte)
last week nagpunta kami sa kato ng una ang sabi ng sa kato di nya daw advice natural ivf kase may history ako ng hydrosalpinx and i had a suregery narin to open my tubes last 2years ..yung right ko na open left still blocked..sabi sakin sa kato is bumalik ako ng day3 and i did yesterday  kinuhanan nila ako ng blood to check my hormones okay naman lahat ng ultrasound came out ok din..so sabi okay daw ako for natural ivf since ok naman yung results ko..usually daw pag natural ivf 2 cell lang tinatransfer na nila pero dahil daw may tubal factor ako we need to wait daw untill maging blastocyst yung embryo..since isa lang naman ang i haharvest nila dahil no meds ang natural ivf kaya gusto nila day2 palang ng embryo i transfer na kase
iisa lang yung egg baka daw di mag develop hangang day 5.pero i insist na ill just wait nalang kesa 2cell ang i transfer baka kung san pa pumunta punta yung embryo dahil di pa ready yun for inplantation pwede pa yun mapunta sa tube at maging ectopic kaya di talaga nila advice daw yun sa may tubal problem..since makulit ako sabi ko sa blastocyst nalang kami which is day5 tutal bata pa naman ako baka maganda pa development ng embryo ko(finger cross sana nga mag develop till day 5 kahit isa lang yung egg)balik kami sa october 24 day 8 ko for ultrasound and blood test again..hopefully mag positive kami para di nakami pumunta ng taiwan pero pag neg taiwan nakami by december...good luck satin mga sis..nasa baba yung binaran namin that day..just to clear lang mga sis hindi lang 16k ang magagastos natin for natural ivf kase marami din silang test na ipapagawa..sa pag bal;ik namin sa 24 i recheck ulit yung LH,ESTRADIOL,FSH,ULTRASOUND again so probably another 8k yun...yung 16k na babayaran is yun yung after na ng procedure pag neg..hope this helps mga sis..

Hi sis shanmar. Welcome back. Ask ko lang kung kelan nila kukuhanan ng sperm si hubby? Sa egg retrieval day ba or pwede pa sperm storage kasabay ng semen analysis? Thanks for the extensive  info. Sinabi ba nila kung ilang percent ng success mo kung inanatural ka nila vs minimal stimulation? Ayaw ko na kaseng parang pag eexperimentuhan pa ko ng 1 month bago ako gawan ng extensive and serious work up, kase i can't waste time na sis. Thanks.

[rianoreen]

Sis shanmar,

Hindi ka na nagbayad for egg harvest, egg culture, insemination?

Thanks!

hi sis simeday mom=ang sabi sakin sabay daw ng egg retrieval kukuha ng sperm kay hubby..pero kung bussy si hubby mo sis pwede mo rin naman [textspeak!] i recommend ba mag pa frozen kayo ng sperm ni hubby mo..ang sabi nila sa natural ivf nils is 53% daw wala akong stimulation this cycle sis all natural lang no meds at all..well see padaw after ma fertilize yung egg kung kayang mag develop hangang blastocyst..kung hinde daw mag ta transfer sila ng mas early,, medyo kinakabahan nga ako sis sana lang mag develop sha..si hubby ko din kase may problema low sperm count sha kaya ivf nalang kami talaga..if di success well go na sa taiwan by december..

[Billie13]

Sis shanmar, if you opt for natural ivf pwede ka pa din mag develop ng more than 1 egg esp bata ka pa. They can harvest all the eggs that will develop, usually 2-3 yan. Wait mo na lang your next ultrasound kung ilan. God willing, ok na yan.
