Thanks! I'm doing medicated FET.jia you!! u natural fet?
I tried emailing to that email before cos I forgot to take my MC during briefing day.. NO reply de lor!.. Give up liao.. I called KKIVFC direct..Thanks rachelt and summerreef! Btw, I spoke to Felicia. Dr THH can be reached via [email protected] email. She said 2 execs are in charge of replying emails and communicating the emails to him.
U all still so young.. Still got time.. I've just passed my 39 bday and trying for 4 years liao..im 35 this yr but tried 6 yrs liao
Felicia also doesn't return calls promptly. I think it's easier to just go down to KKH instead.I tried emailing to that email before cos I forgot to take my MC during briefing day.. NO reply de lor!.. Give up liao.. I called KKIVFC direct..
Appt with THH last Friday.. He suggested Endo Scratch right and Felicia told me to call her to arrange when my AF arrives cos must do 1-2 weeks before the FET AF month.. So my AF came yesterday and i wanted to book appt during my CD20 (I read from website endo scratch should be on CD21 for those 28 days cycle de so since i'm 27, I shift abit).. Left a message for Felicia to call me back.. In the end, today it's a nurse who called me and I hvta repeat my whole story.. Wah faint lor.. Kinda inefficient right.. Must tell THH abt all these.. if really need advise.. like kena stranded lor..
U all still so young.. Still got time.. I've just passed my 39 bday and trying for 4 years liao..
I only called for her once. And she didn't return call. 2 weeks later I asked her, she told me she was on medical leave for 2 weeks.@MichNg.. Have Felicia ever returned your call?.. I dont leh.. I left messages thrice.. All not she return call de..
Hi ladies, have been reading this thread for some time liao..just failed my first fresh at kkh this month..was quite depressed when i returned to work last week but felt bit better this week..my af also reported abt 5 days before the actual bt..initially just some spotting and staining for the first 2 days, the actual flow came on the 3rd day..hcg level only 1.6, so my embryos totally didn't implant at all..had a grade 4 and 5 implanted but still unsuccessful..i can only console myself that it's still not the right time yet..
Went to see tsb that weekend and kena scolded by her for being too stressed up during the 2ww..was feeling quite lousy too..but life goes on..my next appt with thh is on 16th aug..sian, have to wait so long..but it's good in a way too cos i'm so afraid to go kkh now..i wonder whether he can tell me why the embryos can't implant? or when should i start my first fet?
Hi @the_fruitful_one.. *hugz*.. it's good to grieve.. so let it all out.. I BFNed on my first fresh too earlier this month.. waited 21 days later to see THH.. so i guess it's norm with the wait.. And yes.. totally agree.. bb will come at the right time.. so let's jia you together~~~~~Hi ladies, have been reading this thread for some time liao..just failed my first fresh at kkh this month..was quite depressed when i returned to work last week but felt bit better this week..my af also reported abt 5 days before the actual bt..initially just some spotting and staining for the first 2 days, the actual flow came on the 3rd day..hcg level only 1.6, so my embryos totally didn't implant at all..had a grade 4 and 5 implanted but still unsuccessful..i can only console myself that it's still not the right time yet..

I know what you mean.. Most of my frens all got kids liao..Thanks ladies.. btw mind to share with me your ttc journey? only when i come to the forum or ttc fb group then can find some solace and that i'm not alone in this tough journey..i feel so lonely among my own group of personal friends...
Hugs gal. We are all with you in this journey.Hi ladies, have been reading this thread for some time liao..just failed my first fresh at kkh this month..was quite depressed when i returned to work last week but felt bit better this week..my af also reported abt 5 days before the actual bt..initially just some spotting and staining for the first 2 days, the actual flow came on the 3rd day..hcg level only 1.6, so my embryos totally didn't implant at all..had a grade 4 and 5 implanted but still unsuccessful..i can only console myself that it's still not the right time yet..

I'm 39.. Married 4.5years.. TTC 4 years.. Seeing TSB since Aug 2012 and still seeing her..
First fresh was in June 2014.. Retrieved 18 eggs.. 15 injected with DH troopers.. 10 survived and fertilized.. transferred 2 grade 5s.. 8 snowies in freezing..
4 Jul BT BFN..
Had spotting 4 days (30 Jun) before actual BT day.. Tested very very faint +ive on HPT..
1 Jul called KKIVFC cos spotting persists.. Went down KKIVFC to get oral support and did early BT.. b-HCG was 16.1..
2 Jul still spotting.. POAS again.. +ive was still very very faint..
3 Jul POAS again.. +ive was clearer but still faint..
4 Jul POAS in the morning before going over to KKIVFC for BT.. this time.. HPT was totally -ive.. BT results BFN..
Appt with THH after BFN was 21 days later (last Fri).. Gonna try for natural FET on my next AF cycle.. Target ET 2nd week of Sept.. How many snowies you have in freezing now?
Btw what's the difference between a natural and medicated fet?
I guessed that is quite common. Even with medicated also I am facing mental stress.Sometimes even with natural FET you may not ovulate. That happened to me. Doc said many pple never ovulate due to stress. Every other day go for scan to check lining and follicle growth. Indeed it was a stressful period. In the end my natural cycle was cancelled so doc put me on medicated. Medicated is more controlled.
@irisy .. Correct.. My first fresh U/S appt oso like that.. Same.. very far apart de..Hi all,
So glad to have found this thread.
A little bit about myself.
34 this year. TTC for 2 yrs.
Seen Dr Tan HH about 6 months back.
He started us on Clomid for 3 months. No results.
Just started on my 1st fresh this month.
Ultrasound on CD2.
Injected Orgalutran on CD2, CD3 and CD4.
Started 400iu Puregon on CD5. Today is CD7.
Nurse scheduled my next Ultrasound scan on CD12. Is that normal? Thought there should be 1 in between to check. Not sure if I should call them to check.
Beginning to feel a bit pain in the ovaries. Normally only have this feeling closer to the O day.
@joy_meme.. THH gave me the memo to bring back on my next appt.. But i didnt notice if he wrote anything on my file.. lol.. Nmind.. the nurse who called me very nice even tho i sounded impatient Makes me feel bad after that..my suggestion - if u need 2do make specific aptm like endo scratch or hsg, ask dr 2write a memo n attach somewhere so that when the nurse opens é file, the nurse will know wat u are talkin about. if possible ask doc 2write a memo for u to bring home. so u can show at the nex appointment.. when it's due to mak é aptm, juz call kkivf until someone ans.. tell them ur nric n ask them to make é aptm.. always ask who answered ur call and when they will get back on aptm date...
thanks circles i hope to join ur club soon too!! and thanks for nicknaming ur bb after my nick!Will be praying for you and the sisters here!!!! Jia you jia you!
Share with me what he told u abt intralipid.. When i asked him.. he just said "no, we dont have that"..Saw Dr THH earlier & will be on natural FET but he gave me aspirin which will be taken on CD2 when I start the FET cycle for my antinuclear antibody issue. But he gave me an open date depending on when I want to start the FET. Meantime he says I gota rest first & gave me medication for ovulation to try out ourselves first for the next 2 cycles...then I was like "Huhhhh"....& told him that doing ourselves seems more stressful. His reply was: Just try la rather than sit & do nothing! ........ But mostly likely I do will it in Sept, but also depending on what my TCM advise on Friday ba. There's no explanation in my case as to why it didn't work out coz he says my af came like 14 days after so that means my luteal phase is alright. I dun quite get him but I didn't probe further either. I did asked him about the intralipid infusion done by SF Loh & he is aware that a fair bit of ladies are undergoing the treatment. He gave us a long and technical explanation. I wouldn't say that he is not encouraging but he has his point of view which we do agree in some sense. So we'll KIV for now & if FET still doesn't work out, i'll go for it for the next fresh cycle.
@MichNg, Good Luck for your ET next Monday!
@the_fruitful_one, cheer up ok. I was like you, full of hope. I had 2 grade 4 embroyes transferred, my lining was triple @ 11mm, had loads of bed rest, ate well sleep well but it didn't work out. I was disappointed & upset but surprisingly I was able to manage the failure. The day of the BFN BT, I went to do things that made me happy like retail & food therapy. I even met up my cycle buddy whom I met at the OT & she BFP for lunch as she was on her way to KKH to pick up support medication. I was also surprised that I'm able to handle other people's BFP in stride unlike in the past, where I will feel sorry for myself & avoid bb showers & gathering with kids. I guess learning to let go makes my life happier. Thereafter, the dh booked us on an impromptu short getaway which was a good retreat for us before we start the ivf/accupuncture process again & before I know it, today's the follow-up appointment with Dr THH. So do something that makes you happy, look forward & take a short break if possible & come back stronger ok. *hugs*
@rachelt , I'm 33 but dh 43! So also need to buck up! haha
@happyblossom, maybe you can read some inspirational/motivational books. I guess it helps a lot in making you see things differently, at least for my case la. The last thing you would want is to sink into depression coz that's what happened to me previously. I had to seek psychiatrist help as the ttc journey was taking a toll on me. I had anxiety attacks but the most psychiatrist can do for you is just prescribe medication. I know I need to self-help to get thru this so I started reading & of coz mixing with positive mind-set people really helps.
