Thanks thanks hopeful78!!! I din knoe egg whites wl help...thanks thanks!!!
I do not know how true. I ever seen a post cos the lady took too much egg whites, she didn't have a lot of eggs retrieved. Dr Loh (her doc) mentioned intake of excessive protein could be the cause...
 
Only full flow then call call kk? Some times i really can't understand what they mean first day menses to call... spot kind not counted
Hi greed3,

Full flow before 12 noon will means your menses starts on that day and full flow would be to change pad within that period if only spotting then after 12 noon then comes heavy n change pad then ur first day would be the next day.
 
anyone knows the address for dr zou? and the opening hours? She will be there everyday?

I'm thinking of going for acupuncture while waiting for my May fresh cycle...

Thanks!
Hi meilingg,

Dr zou only works in the afternoon from 3:30pm onwards and off day on Wednesday.

Sat n sun is from 10am to 2pm.
 
Hi sisters,

I'm back on the ivf route despite my 2nd failed fet last month. My AF came on sun and I'm schedule to do my first scan on 11 March.

Will be doing a natural fet this time. I'm not pinning too much hope and won't be doing the usual bed rest etc.

Will be flying off for work straight after ET hopefully different environment n state of mind will be successful.

Hi yyw82, thanks! I see... i am always confuse how they determine first day of menses

In my case, eggs were growing v v slow n even wif extended stimulation they ain't growing on track. So since already almost gone case le might as well try everything
 
Hi sisters, need some advice from here.

Does anyone had any idea whether can we start doing exercises after bfn?how long do we need to rest b4 we can start exercising again?

I went for jogging on sun and now I can feel that are some cramps and sharp pains :(

I assume u mean ivf cycle. I believe slow jog or brisk walk are totally safe. Cramping possible is ur af coming soon? Don't run too fast or do anything strenuous
 
Take it easy babe! Stay hopeful ya.. Are we the only ones in tww?

I am also in tww. Am 6dp2dt and my bt is on 13 Mar which is still long long way to go.

@happy_mtb Just relax and try to keep urself occupied cos thinking too much can stress ur body which is not what we want. For me, I didn't really do the bed rest thing i just do everything as usual. I do quite abit of slow walk everyday and eat well. Make sure have enough protein and no cold stuff.

I don't think there is a 'fixed' time but really up to your comfort level. Just listen to your body.

For me, after bfn (AF), I had bad cramps for first 5 days and I couldn't exercise. Then after that I felt I was up for yoga and brisk walking. Then recently (day 7) I think I 'over-did' some of the yoga poses and felt some cramps , so I immediately stop and did some light stretching instead. Today (day8) I feel fine again.

I'm 5dpt but my bt is 11 mar, why so huh? Do u hv any symptoms so far? I think I'm a goner...
 
Hello! Act I didnt get bfp until like 9 10 days post transfer and then v v faint line. Also no spotting, no sore breats etc only after positive hpt then nauseous. So dun give up yet!
Hihi, mb it's my gut feel bah plus no symptoms... Thks for ur encouragement ... Doubt I will POAS this time untill a day before my bt. Just wondering y my bt is so early.. Isit bcoz it's a thaw cycle?
 
What do you think so?
It is hard but don't think so much now. Have a slow walk, listen to music or catch a movie to distract yourself.
Hello kitty16, I just dun feel positive... Alrdy at home past 2 days, today bk at work. Hopefully can distract myself..
 
I'm 5dpt but my bt is 11 mar, why so huh? Do u hv any symptoms so far? I think I'm a goner...

R u with kk too? I also dont know why i got to wait that long. As for symptoms, i am still having sore breast from the day before ER till now and also bad cramp last night while sleeping. Other then that i dont feel anything unusual. Actually i read that many woman doesn't have any symptoms but still bfp. So dont think too much. Sometimes no sign is a good sign.
 
Anyone taking magnesium supplements ? I read that it could also boost implantation, but dunno if there is any side effects or if it is real.

As I have some digestion problems so I realised I haven been eating the food which is high in magnesium like dark leafy veg, seeds etc.

I used to take for migraine issues, not ttc. Very good. But some sensitive stomach may get diarhea from magnesium. The one I buy is ok doesn't give me issues.

Hi mqiu, your reply give me hope!!! Thanks so much! I've no spotting and no sore breasts too which I tot its a goner... When bfp in my first fresh many years ago, I remembered I had quite sore breasts but this time round nothing. So feeling a bit down especially today it's 8dp3dt for me.

I have not done ivf before but my advise is preoccupy yourself as much as possible during 2ww. Do things u like or make yourself busy at work so u stop analysing ur symptoms. It applies in a normal 2ww scenario as well.
 
Hi all,just an update on me. I have 10 eggs retrieved this time. 10 was injected with hubby spermies but only 1 make it for transfer. Just hope that this 1 and only will make it. Dr and embroylogist expectation not so high though as e quality is not e top grade 1..just cross fingers n see how it goes.

I got no frozen again. Its a sad thg. According to them my eggs are aging n hubby sperm not good also. Dr says chances only 10%.

So i just like to say,for those where ivf is e only route,dun wait till you are old. I am 37 yrs n eggs are aging already. This journey isnt easy. My 1st fresh i have 14 eggs,2 top grade transferred 10 mths ago. Now it becomes 10 eggs with 1 poor quality transferred. Despite this time on 6 mths of tsb tcm for me n hubby. Ist cycle no tcm n bfn with no frosties. So ladies,dun wait too old then try ivf. As doesnt mean more eggs means high chance. Egg quality must be good.

By e way, i will also like to feedback e trigger jab is not painful as legendary says. Nurse ask to choose to jab n thigh or backside. I choose to jab at backside n its ok.

I'm with nuh, I think they hv a tendency to test earlier. Also mb because I'm doing a thaw cycle bah.. Cramping is a Gd sign.. Ya I totally no feeling so kinda have bad vibes :(
 
faithfullyyours, can you share any tips which u did before yr ER & ET? My AF is finally here & I will call kkh tml. This will be my 1st IVF & hopefully can strike like u!!

Connnie,
hope to hear good news from you 2 weeks later :)
 
Ladies, I need to refresh my memory as it's been 6 mths since my briefing. I hve to call kkh on my 1st day of menses full flow right? That means I have to go down collect my jabs on when? Do I have to bring anything when I go kkh? I will be on short protocol if I remember correctly.
 
Thanks happy peanuts and bubbleblue1.

Bubbleblue1,call on 1st day of menses when full flow to kkivf centre. Then they will call you back shortly after retrieve yr file for day 2 or day 3 scan.

Or that day,report to kkivf for yr scan. Press e q no that they instructed. After scan clear then they will issue u medicine.

U bring yr ic if i didnt remember wrongly

Connie_hopeful,
Dont be discourage, at least there is one egg to transfer.
To have a baby, in fact you just need one to success.
Just like last time i study for ACCA, my lecturer told us that you do not need to score high,
50 marks are enough to pass.

Thank you for the gentle reminder. I am at my age of 39 this year,
i am with you and i have recently told my brother the same thing,
if he planned to start family, better get married soon,
usually i wont push him and i will respect the decision he makes,
however after started the IVF, i have realised that its good to share with him.

Stay positive and healthy. All the best to your ET. Jia you :)

Connie did you test for AMH?
 
Connie did you test for AMH?
My amh was 5.7mg/nl and triple lining of 9.8mm.

From e doc ,i know its e egg quality and sperm quality that matters.

So gals with low egg count and thin lining when simulating, dun despair. Yr eggs maybi good de after retrieval. Tt's wats important

Connie jiayou k? Take these 2 weeks to rest your mind from work. Still take care of yourself, dun over exert yourself. Lead life as normal but don't do things that might harm the embryo. For me I stayed home for the first week since that is the time where the embryo is likely to implant. 2nd week I went back to work for 3 days. Last 2 days I stayed home.

Keep yourself occupied at home like reading books, watch drama to kill time. Jia you! Hope your embryo jia you too! Also embryo grade doesn't mean everything, some not so gd grade embryo do result in live birth compared to a gd grade embryo.
 

I'm also hopelessly trying for my first... And am in my 3rd fresh. Never have frozen embies too... So sad...
Yap,sad to have no frozen. Stay positive,who knows yr 3rd fresh now may give u better luck.

Meanwhile,i will enjoy my tww this time round :) no more gan geong spider like 1st time
