Dear all,
I have just started my ivf. Taking cetroxide injection for the 2nd day. Doc warned me that I might haf OHSS. She mentioned I can drink more isotonic drink after ER to reduce the bloatedness. Anyone know other methods of relieving the OHSS symptoms?
Another question. I can transfer 2 embryos during ET but doc advise to transfer 1 embroy due to risk of multiple pregnancies ( which includes miscarriage). Anyone can advise on this? Whether is better to transfer 1 or 2? I am worried about the sperms quality as they are retrieved from the urine due to retrograde.
Do u have issues of miscarriage before? If not I don't see why cannot tfer 2.Dear all,

Thanks Meilingg.Do u have issues of miscarriage before? If not I don't see why cannot tfer 2.
Haha.. i dont know if i can feel my bladder, even now i just go toilet ever now and then just in case i got pee. So your bt is on 12 Mar?
Take care! Have a good rest!Hi all,
Just got my bt result as expected its bfn.
Since I've kinda expected it at least don feel so disappointed.
I'm so going to take a break.
Good luck to all.
Kity16: I have left my good pay job to prepare for IVF. No positive result yet thus far. My body was feeling weak and TCM did not help. Thus, I decided that I had to give my body ample rest. I work out my sums and still give my parents their basic allowance every month, even without a job, with a token top-up from DH. It was not easy as I felt living like a church mouse. A few friends who saw me recently said that my face colour improved. It was a heavy price to pay for, but I didn't want any regret. I deliberated over it with DH for 6 months, and finally tendered. I miss the interactions at work and the chance to attend training courses. But I am ok now, knowing that I just want to know that I did what I could, even if it means being poorer, and almost no shopping power at all.Have any of the sisters here ever considered or have quit their jobs while in the ivf journey? I'm contemplating but there are a lot of considerations. Financial , and also 100 percent at home can also be stressful.
U mean ur BT is on 9 Mar? How come mine ER 1 day after you but my BT is on 13 Mar.My ET on 9mar
Thanks Meilingg.
Hi Chloe,
I don't have any issue of miscarriage before. Dono why doc ask me consider having 1 embryo transfer.
Anyone with sperms retrieved via urine due to retrograde condition? N successfully conceived?
My doc also asked me to do 1 embroyo transfer. He said reduce the chances of having twins, which in turn reduce pregnancy complications. Think some doctors not very keen on twins.
I think sperm quality will affect during the blastocyst stage already. If no good, i think the embroyologist won't even use. So if can be fertilized then the factor of conceiving is whether it can implant. Just my thoughts.
No even can Fertilised the embryo must be good enough to divide and hatch out before it can implant. If embryo quality bad it won't divide properly or it can have bad fragmentation and won't grow further to implant.My doc also asked me to do 1 embroyo transfer.

Jumbo gal is correctNo even can Fertilised the embryo must be good enough to divide and hatch out before it can implant. If embryo quality bad it won't divide properly or it can have bad fragmentation and won't grow further to implant.
Agree. Who are the drs who prefer 1? I wud actually insist two if possibleJumbo gal is correct

Doctors and nurses i meet in NUH always advices 1 but they are not persistent because its your choice and we are the one paying for the insurance too. So i always choose 2 too and they will agree.

Actually,i have a question. What happens in e event we choose 2,if in e event 1 survived and 1 doesnt. Does the 1 that doesnt survived stays inside for 9 mths also or will it bleed out naturally? Or need to take it out via op?Doctors and nurses i meet in NUH always advices 1 but they are not persistent because its your choice and we are the one paying for the insurance too.

Hello Kitty,@makie good luck on your OR.
Are you with prof? I tot prof is on leave and will be back on March 18th?
Thank you Kitty, fighting!!Makie.. All the best for your OR!
Need to call to make appmt - but they operate till 7 or 8pm so if you work can try to get the 6pm or 630 slot.Hi sisters, I have just started the suppressiom stage and thinking of trying Dr Zhao from Raffles. Any idea on her charges and can I just walk in to do acu? Is the queue super long? Thanks much.
I also have the same dilemma. I have high chance of premature birth but have to weigh that against the chances of implantation. Further twin pregnancy also increases the risk of ohss and again prematurity. So there is really no correct choice. So I think no matter what choice we make its not our fault if it doesn't work out.Actually,i am ok to having twins. Can close shop after that. I am just worried that like 1 of E beanie not surviving inside after a few weeks(eg 4wks 1 of e 2 gone /8 wks 1 of e 2 gone. )It will be out naturally n its ok to leave it alone?? Anybody knows e ans for this?
As old aunty says,its difficult for us to fall pregnant. Imp is e cells must divide healthily inside.
I have another trend of tot of putting 1 and keeping e other 1 in fet. Since fet we have less hormones in e body n chances are higher as some doc says. But it must survive e thaw.

I wanted to transfer 2 if can but is more concern with successful implantation and cells dividing smoothly after both are inside. To me, its still e survival of bfp and 1st trimester stage..crawling to reach tt like a baby..I also have the same dilemma. I have high chance of premature birth but have to weigh that against the chances of implantation. Further twin pregnancy also increases the risk of ohss and again prematurity.

Hi ladies, when is the best time to start TCM med n acu after the ivf treatment starts?
U mean ur BT is on 9 Mar? How come mine ER 1 day after you but my BT is on 13 Mar.
Correct me if Im wrong but I think ivf not advisable to eat tcm meds? Dunno how the tcm reacts with the hormonal meds. Accu is good thoughHi ladies, when is the best time to start TCM med n acu after the ivf treatment starts?
Thanks yyw82Hi, usually it's twice every week. But acupuncture might be every other day during ER and ET period

If not wrong, at very early pregnancy, the body may absorb the embryo that can't survive. Or the one that can't survive will be expelled by bleeding.Ladies, thanks for all the sharing. Appreciate it. I also have the same question as Connie. If chose 2 embryos transfer, 1 didn't survive, the one didn't survive will flow out and the one survived will not be affected?
It will just disappear? Did u ask e doc?I put in 2. 1 stuck. No idea what happened to the other one.
Thanks Ron for the super useful infoNeed to call to make appmt - but they operate till 7 or 8pm so if you work can try to get the 6pm or 630 slot.
once you get an appmt, it's generally super efficient. Usually you get to see her within 10/15 min of appmt time, most of the time dont need to wait. It's Raffles after all they hv a fertility package - $416 (or something like that) for 5 sessions for consult and acu, excluding meds. But the meds r cheap.
Yes, not advisable to take Tcm med cause not sure how it will interact with the hormone jabs. Acu should be ok.Correct me if Im wrong but I think ivf not advisable to eat tcm meds? Dunno how the tcm reacts with the hormonal meds. Accu is good though
It will just disappear? Did u ask e doc?
