  2. Thank you for your blog. You don't know how much it helped me with my IVF journey.

    Out of curiosity, were you allowed to bring your injectable progesterones in your hand carry?

  7. Hello ma'am, how young were you when you had your first successful IVF? I am already 36 and I am having doubts if IVF can still be successful to me. I have done IUI twice but failed. Thank you :-)

    1. Hi Clarence! My first IVF attempt was in Manila, I was 35 years old then and it was a success. My second IVF was in Taiwan, I was 41 years old already and it was a success too, in fact we were blessed with twin boy and girl. Go for it! Our biological clock is ticking, so no second thoughts the earlier the better. BTW have you decided where to have your IVF? The hospital where I had my IVF in Taiwan is coming on June 12, you can attend the event to know more about it.
