		<description>hi miss ellen!! ive been married for a year now and my hubby and i is very desperate in having children,. i have had 2 ectopic pregnancies already 1st july 14, 2009 ruptured where they removed my right fallopian tube. 2nd was just last MAy 3, 2010 and fortunately they just removed the gest sac since it was  cornual pregnancy so i still have my left tube intact.. My doctor at Chongnhua medical arts in cebu, Dra. Sy suggested we have to resort to IVF for the fear of having an ectopic again.. she suggested the Repro Optima but have to try a year after my last operation.. thank you for the info that you had a successful IVF, coz we were thinking of having it done in Singapore, but since in your case it is cheaper and was successful we might try and consider it here in the Philippines.. thanx miss ellen, the info is a very big help to us,..</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been hearing about the Cebu clinic but have not yet had a chance to meet with them. I will look into that. We were considering Dr. PC Wong from Singapore but we have not yet made a decision just yet. I will give more info once I speak to his Filipino counterpart Dr. Ancheta from Medical City. Very happy for you Ellen and Karen, and good luck to us Rain! :)</description>

		<description>hi elvira,

i had the same situation as you. My husband had TESE, testicular sperm extraction at Repro Optima Center for Reproductive Health in Cebu. Shortly after, i had ICSI with the TESE sperms under Dr. Marivic Tan. Now i am 10 weeks pregnant. The cost of my treatments summed up to only Php 300,000 including the TESE already. I hope you will be as blessed....try inquiring with my doctor, Dr. Marivic Tan. She is very accommodating and will take the time to explain the whole process to you. Wish you all the luck!!!</description>

		<description>Hi! I have tried IVF in the Philippines but failed to become pregrant. I am thinking of doing another one but I am looking for another country where I can have the procedure cheaper.How much is the total cost (meds,laboratory,doctors fee, etc) you incurred when you had your IVf in Singapore? Please give an idea. I am really desperate to have another IVF. THanks</description>

		<description>I&#039;m so sorry to hear that :( Doing the IVF procedure in Taiwan is actually cheaper than doing in it Manila. In Taiwan, all in (flight/hotel/food/DR&#039;s fees/meds/procedure/etc.) is approximately Php200,000 to Php300,000. Go to www.ivftaiwan.com
In Manila, the cheapest I found was approximately Php500,000. Doctor&#039;s name is Leo Almeda in Cardinal Santos. His number is 7257147.
I&#039;ve heard that Vietnam is even cheaper but I don&#039;t have any info on where there, sorry. 
Hope this helps! Good luck to you! :D</description>

		<description>My husband and I were married for 10 yrs. We undewent series of test. I had IUI twice.  My husband sperm count is low and was operated due to varecoecil (sorry if I mispelled it wrong). After the operation there was no sperm seen at all. We we devastated and both cried for days. A doctor advised us to have the IVF but we were surprised to learn of the high cost of IVf. Is there any hospital here in the Philippines or in asia that is much cheaper?</description>
