I cant sleep. I feel uncomfortably bloated. I WANT to fart! Uhmmm... Nothing coming out!
I feel Hong Kong's medical cost is very steep. Don't know... Perhaps, I am comparing it with the Philippine cost. Bingo! I found one cost comparison chart.

Where is my doctor on the list? There you go... Consult: HKD 2000 ; ultrasound: HKD 1500. How much is the minimum wage in Hong Kong? HKD 40/ hr? How many hours should a fast food employee work in order to pay for infertility consultation? 75 hours. How many hours of work to fund ivf? 2750 hours. Wa! Unless there is a subsidy or the doctors cost chart is applicable for expat and foreigners only.
In the Philippines, a minimum wage employee needs to work for about 5600 hours to fund her ivf. So, where is cheaper? ^.^ Whatever... I need to work thousand hours of hard labor in order to build a dream family! I had encountered several obstacles along my journey. Now, the impending OHSS. This is indeed a bumpy journey towards my fertility! I pray that I am on the right path, with the right doctor and the right timing as well.
