Another great thing about Lucy Lord is that her clinic has a relationship with Prof. Christopher Haines from the Dept of Gyn at the university. He runs an assisted reproduction clinic at the Prince of Wales Hospital. I was a 'difficult' case with Dr Lords clinic so they had me attend a special clinic with Prof Haines. Through his clinic he figured out what the poblem was and, through trying different drug combos, was able to find a winning formula. I can't remember Dr Lord's fees but Prof Haines charged hk$1500 per cycle for as many scans as it took to figure things out. Drug costs were on top of this.

Mela, I met Dr. Doo for a consultation. I didn't mention I wanted to go for IVF but mentioned that I have been in TTC for a while andI would like to do the tests and then take treatment depending upon the results. He asked me for my marriage certificate, which I felt was weird. Is the standard in HK?
FYI I went alone for the consultation

Yes - this is Hk law - in order to undergo any fertility treatment you have to present marriage certificate. This law was made even stricter last Feb and I remember that when I went for my frozen cycle I had to sign all the papers again and give them the cert. It looks like you have to be married in HK to get help:(

hi jeye
i did my first ivf in canada and my second ivf in hong kong and i found the prices were comparable. medicine was slightly more expensive here in hk.
hope your fertility journey is SHORT and ends with a "take home baby".

I've been TTC for 7 months and no sign of preg. =( I'm very depressed and I was wondering if there are any social group in HK where I could join to share my feelings?
My husband has a high sperm count but the motility is just borderline =( is that why I can't get preg? I'm not sure. I'm only 29 what should I do? Where should I go for help? should i stop trying and go straight to IUI? I'm so confused and depressed.=( I dont know where I should go for help.
