Why don't you do IVF in Singapore?

There are several reasons.

1. Our embryos live in Brisbane. You thought travelling with kids was hard? It reaches this whole other level when your kids are frozen in liquid nitrogen.


2. We have insurance and medicare in Australia. Even accounting for flights, it is cost effective to fly home. This is especially true if I end up with complications like I did for our first cycle, when I was admitted to hospital for ten days.


3. We don't have the necessary support network in Singapore. We could struggle through a stimulated cycle without practical help, but it wouldn't be pretty.


4. I have no desire to start from scratch with a new specialist, when our current guy's just getting a handle on all the little nuances of my reproductive system.
