HypnoFertility Coaching Program




I was very anxious to go thru my fifth IVF cycle, back in my mind was what if I fail again?

I asked my hubby, what if this round fail? His reply: Try again.
As the days go near to ET, my insomnia comes back, I knew this is no good but somehow deep inside my heart, there is a strong fear of failure, despite I try to control my emotion.
Hubby advised me just focus on what need to be done & prepare for the best, & stop worrying too much.

I then suddenly realised there is this HypnoFertility Coaching Program which is part of the Sunfert package, but somehow it slipped my mind, hence I decided to enquire Dr Wong how to go about it.
Dr Wong issued me a letter, the letter attention to Mind Body Fertility & all I need is to go make schedule appointment with CT Ong at his office.
It was indeed, only about 7 days prior to my ET, apparently CT Ong was scheduled to go overseas on Thursday. I called on Saturday afternoon around 2pm after my visit to Dr Wong, and requested to scheduled 4 sessions in a row. Wendy, CT Ong’s assistance at the centre was really very helpful and with lots of to & fro timing scheduling, I finally manage to to secure CT Ong’s schedule on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, 3 days in a row prior to his departure.
He is also willing to do 2 sessions for me on Monday, which is a longer session compare to Tuesday & Wednesday, to make up of the 4 sessions. I was indeed very grateful despite very short notice.


Monday: 4 hours
Filled up a form & personal particulars & complete questionnaires. Introduction, background sharing
Tuesday: 2 hours
Wednesday: 4 hours
It was a busy one week intensive ‘training’ for me. He was indeed trying his very best to take the best approach that matches my personality to coach me, it is very time consuming, the coaching session then followed by hypnosis.
I somehow enjoy the hypnosis, it was more on he tells a story, I have a good sleep, fertility garden, uterus thickening, uterus is going to support my baby for next 9 months, providing all necessary nutrients and best environment, I am pregnant and it's the right time– it sounds so real, so relaxing and the world that I wanted to enter.
In the end of the session, I also realised something on my personality and character that making me very stress out, that in my fertility journey, I tried to control things that beyond my control.
He asked me questions that gave me a wake up call:
When was the last time that you feel relax? Deep inside my heart, it seems like long long time ago….despite I have left work for a year…
When will you feel relax?

Me: When I know I am pregnant
Are you sure you will feel relax when you pregnant? You will worry if the baby is healthy; you will worry about delivery; when baby is born, you will concern if baby is healthy, when baby grown up, you worries about your child’s education, child’s behaviour & etc. & it never ends when endless worries…

Just be a living being, live in present, don’t live in the past, don’t live in future…..

Yes, on second session after I walked out from his office, I decided I leave it to god to decide my faith, I am not god and I shall not try to be god anymore. Hence, the entire 2 weeks bed rest, I would say, despite me stay at home for first day, second day onwards I do go out for lunch & occasionally I have a slow walk at supermarket. I didn’t lay on bed for one week either, I cook & I do house work as per normal. I try not to think too much if the embryos were to implant, all I did was just focus on taking the medication on timely manner, that’s the only thing I can do, the rest, I can’t control, especially the result.

At night, when I sleep, I didn’t tell myself anything, neither I tell myself to sleep anymore. I just laid down on bed at 11pm after the Cyclogest PV. I just laid down on bed thinking nothing and eventually I sleep naturally. New way that I found how to sleep well..


Lesson learnt:
1. Schedule this HypnoFertility coaching session as early as you start IVF with Sunfert, if you believe this helps you. It was published in their website as part of the package but somehow I think the doctor & nurses are so busy that they might not remember to remind you on this.

2. The entire programme ( 4 sessions ), each session duration depends on individual, can range from an hour to four hours, is worth RM 800. You need a referral letter from Dr Wong Pak Seng in order to get the fees exempted.

3. Ideally each session should gap is about a week, as they are some homework that CT Ong will request you to do, such as listening to the music, self-hypnosis, and he will request feedback at each follow-up session. In my case, I didn’t have the luxury of time.

4. The entire coaching session is based on each individual personality, CT Ong is very skilful throughout the entire coaching conversation. I believe in order to reap the maximum benefits of the session, one’s need to have an open minded – to share & to receive feedback.

5. Believe me, once you are open and follow his advice, the outcome is different. After I walk out from his office after the 4 sessions, I realised what I need to change.

6. He pre-amp me that during ET, I can request to listen to his MP3 from the nurse. Make sure I requested MP3 in advanced, & the MP3 needs to be fully charged & rewind from beginning, as some patient has experience it started half way when they start to listen.

7. By listening to his MP3 during ET, I felt my entire ET was very FAST! & the process, was relaxing…
