I got the results of my blood tests and husband’s semen analysis through email two weeks after the tests were done. The results of my PRL (prolactin) and TSH were within normal limits. The level of AMH is 3.36mg/ml, thus should I continue with the IVF, I have to take protocol 1. To read more about PRL, TSH and AMH, please click here.
The semen analysis, on the other hand, was also within normal limits. In addition to the usual semen analysis, sperm staining was also performed. Sperm are stained and enlarged up to 1000 times to assess the normal morphological proportion, to predict the probability of oocyte fertilization (General sperm analysis only checks up to 100-fold amplification, and staining is not performed.) This is a stricter classification called the Kruger strict criteria for assessing sperm morphology.
Given our case, the success rate is 50% according to Dr. Lee. That’s a 50-50 chance for us… A gamble?!? Indeed it is! With all the associated risks and costs involve in IVF, the whole thing can seem like an enormous gamble. It can feel a lot like playing in casino tables wherein you put down a huge amount of money in the hope of a big payoff – a baby. And just like gambling, the more money you lose, the more you’re tempted to try just one more time to get that prize.
Honestly, up until now, we are still thinking whether or not to push through with the IVF. I’m sure everything will be worth it if it is successful, but what if it isn’t? If you were in my place, would you go for it?!?
Right now, what I'm doing is I’m trying to increase the odds of our success by finding and doing every possible ways, no matter how small it is, to optimize our fertility... getting myself ready... physically, mentally, emotionally, financially and spiritually for this one big fight.
Should you have some tips and advices, please feel free to leave your messages below. All these will be very much appreciated. Thank you very much!

Hi Deborah, I chanced upon your blog while surfing the net. Anyway, just to let you know, I went through IVF under Dr. Lee of Mackay Memorial and it was successful :) I have a cousin who also went thru IVF under Dr. Lee and she's now pregnant with twins :) If ever you do decide to go through IVF in Taiwan, I know you'll be in good hands. Good Luck :)
Wow, that's a good news! Thanks!
Hi Deb ( feeling close? ),
I chanced upon your blog while searching the web for cases of infertility. I feel for you because me and my husband are ttc for baby #2. We have a son who is now 11yo. We also went through the whole workup, accupuncture and iui. They all failed. We're going to have a 2nd rnd of iui this month. We cant afford IVF and so we're utilizing other means. I have heard of 'hilot' to correct the 'matris' as it was used in the old days by women who are having a hard time conceiving. So I will be going through with that to 'ready' my ovaries for iui next week. Hope you'll update your blog about your journey. Baby dust to us all :))
P.s prayers are important most of all.
Hi deborah, you may not know me but iv been reading your blog everytime i got the chance to go online. I am also a patient of Dra Angela and Sister Regina. Like you, my husband and I have been trying to conceive for the last 4 yrs. most of it were emotionally painful and disappointing. I just want to thank you for putting up this blog, I find my strenght in your words. I will continue to pray for you and your husband. Baby dust to us! Godbless! :) -marian

Hi deborah, how come your blog is not updated anymore? Your blog has given me hope and I'm planning to go to Taiwan. A doctor friend has suggested another doctor in Manila, who is my batchmate(btw, I'm a doctor). He is coming back this month from a series of training abroad, and said the he has new methods. Will update you on this. Ive been trying to get pregnant for 6 yrs and I'm in my 40's.
Hi! I'm also dealing with infertility and I'm exploring Naprotechnology which I understand has better success rates and does not carry the risks of IVF. You may wish to look into it. Found this site as a good starting point. http://www.fertilitycare.org/view-videos/
Practiced in the US. Nearest facility to the Philippines is Taiwan and then Singapore. All the best!
Hi Deborah,
My friend who is now decided to go to Taiwan for IVF saw your blog and showed it to me. I feel like leaving a positive comment and surprised to see that my cousin Karen was the first to comment here. I am the cousin she was referring to, pregnant with twins. I gave birth already to my twins (boy and girl) last January. And for additional encouragement, Karen is now pregnant with her second baby (3 mod) and her sister is also pregnant (8 wks). All ivf done by Dr. Lee.
It is worth the try, if your concern is the amount of money to be spent it is way cheaper there (including accommodation) than here in Manila. I've met some couples from Manila also there, which means Dr. Lee has a lot of patients already from Manila.
Anyway, I don't know how old you are but our biological clock is ticking so don't waste more time, go for it! I am now 41yo turning 42 soon, just for your info.
Hello Berdie, congratulations! You're so lucky to have twins... boy and girl pa!
Thank you for your words of encouragement. Your success story and that of Karen and her sister's made me want to try IVF with Dr. Lee.
I'm 31 years old, going 32 this year.
Reconsidering...
Hi Deborah,
How are you?
My friend chanced upon your blog site and let me read all your posts regarding infertility, to somehow uplifts me on our journey also. Ive been checking your site from to time but is not updated anymore.
My husband and I are ttc for 3.5 years, and i must say, it was emotionally painful. We always get disappointed every month when my period comes.
To make the story short, we tried IVF here at Carmi St. Luke's Global under Dr. Novero, and sad to say, it failed. We underwent one IUI under my previous OB, and she told me that IVF is best option for us based on our case. So when we tried IVF and it failed, you can imagine how devastated we were that time. According to Doc Novero, our chance of conceiving naturally is only 2% so we don't have any option but to try IVF again. We still opted to try 2nd attempt still with Doc Novero.
For the preparations of my next IVF, we are doing acupuncture with Sis. Liu once a week and hope to get a positive result on our next try. Baby dust to us all and good luck also to your journey. - Cel
hi im mel and weve been struggling to have a baby for 6yrs now.. then our dctor suggested IVF. can someone pls give us a number on how much we need to prepare for, to those who have done it.. and success rate depends on case 2 case basis.. right?
Hi mel, i think you need to prepare around 500k. actually, it really depends on where you are going to have your ivf done. success rates depend on your age, and your infertility case/ problem.
I have a friend who has been trying to conceive with her husband but well... she and husband weren't successful. :(
I couldn't ask them directly if there was anything wrong with them. It's too harsh a question. Although I indirectly mentioned IVF to them, like I was telling a story. I think my friend is already asking around about it.
I surely wish them all the best especially since my friend has been wanting a baby for the longest time.
hi deb. I left a comment in your blog last dec 10, 2011. I rememeber how frustrated I was back then. Like you, I am also a patient of Dra Aguilar, Aleta and Sr. Regina. After 4 years of trying, I finally got my wish to get pregnant. Iam on my 37th wk, waiting na lang for baby to come out. Please pray for my safe delivery. I am praying for you and your husband as well. God is good, He will take care of you. take care! -marian
Hi Deborah,
Im looking forward to your next post. Im also TTC. Im 38 and hubby is 39. 2014 is saving money year for us and will do IVF by 2015. My primary concern is money, how much cash should I alot for this IVF journey in taiwan? is 500K enough all in all? pregnant or not, I will go back to the phils broke. Thats all savings we have, but my clock is ticking.
Also, I am also thinking if I should go to Mackay or Lee Womens..which is which...

My email add is brf_2003@yahoo.com
Thanks,
Bam Fernandez

Hi Maria, I am wondering if you could share to us your IVF result from Kato. I hope you don't mind. Just last month, we undergo IVF at Victory Art but unfortunately it failed, turned out as chemical pregnancy for my wife. We were very sad and devastated, but life must go on.

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
