ouch.... must be painful... ya.. hv to keep phone away... jy jy...So hard to stay sane and cool when the boss called to talk abt work stuff. I heart beat fast when I was told I would be needed at work this Friday.the injection I did on my tummy was not so successful cause blood dripped out. Must be my shaking hands. I'm going to have to learn to not pick the phone up when it's work calling.

good luck for your ER today... fighting!!!
I'm doing the ER on friday.
Thanks I agree that if its meant to be then it is. The only irk was during our review when I brought this up the doctor told me that no evidence proves that having more progesterone will conceive or make a difference and since we are on three times daily support it should not make a difference. However, when I told him that true enough average or high progesterone will not ensure conceive BUT IF the progesterone is very low, it CAN hamper the embryo growing. So my question here is why they don't even check the levels in case it is too low. Today we do not know if it's low,average or high. WHAT IF my wife absorption rate is low and progesterone was too low to carry the baby through nobody knows because no check was done. He finally agreed with me and said we can choose to be checked if we want for our next cycle. Bummer. After paying so much I just wanted all bases covered and of course at that time we were quite lost that we had a chemical I guess. Hate having these "what ifs" but I also know I'm just tormenting myself.
Baby dust to all and hope we all have our bfp and stickies soon! I trust and have faith it WILL happen one day

Hang in there gooiee... sometimes there are no answers to all our questions. Can only do our best. From what I was told by the clinic, the only information we can never pay the embryologist to do is the sex of the baby. Anything else is possible with $ and the expertise of a gd embryologist of coz.
Did they grow in size? I guess they are good enuf else the doc will not schedule pick up.

Egg quantity wont increase with the stim meds. Your egg quantity for each menstrual cycle is likely determined by your body when you were in gestation in mummy's tummy. But the stimulation meds are intended to provide more-than-usual hormones to make more than 1 follicle grow to maturity. As long as the follicles grow with each scan that means stims are working. Jia you for Saturday!
i did iui with 100iu of puregon and I have 6 follicles. after 2 failed iui, I went to TCM for 8 months and I went back to do BT and it shows I have low reserve... even gynae was surprised how come within a year my reserve becomes low... now on 400iu of puregon and not sure will it help to increase the no. of follicles and also the growth. going for my scan on sat. hope there are good follicles...

If that month's scan show 6 follicles then it will be around that (bear in mind some smaller ones may be missed out during u/s scan).
But take heart every month is different. And bear in mind our ovaries take turn (left side, right side) so the hormones for one month may differ from the 2nd month.
For those who failed a fresh w low follicles, my suggestion is try to scan on the "other month" to see if any difference. Ie if your failed fresh is in jan, try to cycle in April or june, not may or july. Am i making sense? Not guaranteed it will make any difference but no harm trying.
I understand what you trying to say because....
my first iui in jan, I have 3 follicles on each side. so total is 6. the next round of iui in feb, I have I think 1 or 2 follicles at right side. I cannot proceed because my right tube is blocked so it was aborted. but according to gynae, whether the tube is blocked or not, is ok as they can retrieve the follicles from both tubes.

Thanks Lynhope.
@kevangie , I am with Dr Veronique. Anyone with this doctor? She never suggest IUI or SO-IUI, direct suggest IVF on 2nd consult. Seems like she don't want to wasted our time, very patiently explain to us. At first we are thinking doing IVF with other famous Doctor, but after reading some blog and forum, we decided to stick with her.
Thanks all. Done with the procedures. Must say it went very fast. Thumb up to the nurses who took good care of me during observation. Now resting. Managed to retrieve 22 but not sure how many will make it. My last round I got 26 but only 2 make it to transfer. Whatever the outcome, we have done our best.

@Nanja-Monja Dr Veronique is not my actual IVF doctor (Dr Sadhana) but I have consulted her several times as she was the doctor-on-duty during the days I went to KKH for scan. I found her to be a very nice, approachable and patient lady. You're in good hands.

I think the whole clinic is closed. You can call them to check when they are closing but my guess is Xmas week. +656252 7766
Yes I'm with KKH now and would like to switch to NUH because of the stimulation drugs. My pte gynae has recommends a drug that KKH doesn't carry. So he told me to go NUH.
yes i think it doesnt include frozen transfer as Ron has confirmed this
yes, all brave sisters here, lets jiayou! though each attempt does not gaurantee success , there is still a chance.i know faith and hope dwindles aftr each failed attempt but hang in there!
hv a good rest! When do u go back for ET?Just out from ER. Total retrived 14 eggs. I'm happy with the number. Hope its all good quality eggs.
Have to go back on Monday. Dr will then inform if doing ET on the same day.

Hi sisters, what's e waiting time to do fresh at kkivfc? Once referred to ivf, gotta wait 2 weeks for them to call ya? Then what about briefing? How long after briefing then can start actual procedure? I was reading some backlog posts n saw a sister mentioned that her fresh can only start in Feb n now is only Nov!? Omg, i was still thinking I can finally do our first fresh in January. Next appt in early Dec n prob on this day then doc officially refer to kkivfc.
