What will be next after Dr asked that I call on day one of my menses to do scan? Asked to do IVF counsels before start IVF. Given open date. Lost, does this means my IVF starting or what? No schedule for me to know what will be next.
 


KKH will b scheduling me for ER this coming Mon. Would like to kn more details on ER & ET procedure?They mentioned tat i need to go for some injection on Sat, usually hw long will it take n is it painful?

Usually, u need to have a hcg jab 36 hrs before ER. Personally I feel this jab is the most painful of all the jabs. Then they will put u on sedation for egg retrieval on Monday. After that u can go home for rest and they will culture the eggs n sperms n call u to inform when u can do et. Et is a short process n ur HL will start
 
I have done the endometrium polyp and curetting surgery to remove multiples polycysts from my lower womb last Friday. Today I just collected my report and result was not so good. I diagnosed with endometriosis carcinoma (grade 1), it's a form of cancer but in its early stage. Tmr will be going for my MRI and CT scan and then on Friday seeing the cancer specialist. Suppose to collect my IVF injections this Friday for stimulations on Saturday, think all must aborted. I was so devastating.

Hi elsieho, i am just like you planning for my FET this mth, unfortunate my rheumatism flare up n my joints are in pain n swelling.. I have to postpone my FET..I do not know when I can start my cycle again...

Hi, for those who consume Blackmores Conceive Well- do we still continue to take during the cycle? Or we stop once we start our cycle( stimm stage)?

Nurse will call u back and arrange for u to go down to the hosp for scan and take medication depending on u r on short or long cycle. If short, probably on day 2/3 u start injection.. If long around day 21 u will start..

Jiayous..

Hi Teddy75, firstly, u need to go for ur ivf briefing b4 u can embark into ivf...when is ur briefing? It has to be b4 ur nxt menses if the nurse hv given u the slot to start ur ivf on ur nxt menses...

On ur first day of menses, u juz need to call kkivf n normally they wl ask u to go for scan on day 2 of ur menses...u shld b collecting ur jabs n instructions wl b given for further follow up after the scan...

I guess u r lost now partly is becos u haven't attend the briefing yet...coz u wl gather most of the info during the briefing n that is y u need to attend the briefing b4 u can start ur ivf treatment..

I am not given any dates for counsel brief but asked to call on day one menses to book appt for scan. Should I call clinic to ask when is my brief date? Not given any date to start IVF too. Call or not call clinic to ask more questions bothering me?

Are you with kkh? Need to attend briefing and sign consent forms after the briefing before u can embark on ivf for the 1st cycle.

THANK YOU all for replying me. Yes, I am with KKH. Managed to find out. Sister said very much depends on the result of my day one scan before can give me the dates for IVF and brief date. Told to call clinic on the dates after 14 days of the scan when the result is out to determine what is the next step.
 
Seen in threads, many need to try few times before can success. I only allow myself one chance to try in view of financial and age. I shall treat as a form of experience. Cross fingers that I will pass the IVF towards journey to pregnancy.

Likewise, we are also making just one attempt. Was told by doc to be prepared that I may not have any eggs for retrieval but if in the event I'm lucky to have any to freeze, will attempt a frozen cycle too. Baby dust to all waiting

hi dramaqueenie, wave wave! I gg for my first fresh cycle in may with dr THH in kkh too! Did u go for counselling under the social medical worker?

Hihi! That's nice to know. No I didn't went for counselling under a social worker. Is that compulsory?

Btw, did Dr THH ask u to do FSH? I only did AMH.

These 2 days I have blood in my urine, can see light pink when I wipe. This is during mid cycle. Hiaz

Sep turning 40. If sperm inject not done b4 B'day cannot get co-funding then will not be able afford treatment. All the best to you. Glad for your sharing. Honestly, I pin no great hope. Wanted to just enjoy and know more how IVF is like. If can get pregnant and give birth will be bonus to me. Baby Dust...sprinkler, ting, ting....

hi dramaqueenie, I dun tink is compulsory but since we already paid for the counselling charges, I went. Overall, it is a fruitful trip for me. ;) ermmm...wat is FSH and AMH? Not aware of the term. only know I did a blood test to test the numbers of ovary eggs I have. Dr THH said mine is 2.9 normal range. so wat test is this? o_O

Hihi, may I know if you have low AMH issues. I have moderate low AMH at 1.1, am 39 (but AMH taken a year younger) and doc (THH) kept saying I have to be prepared that I have no eggs for retrieval. So depressing even before my cycle begins leh. During my SIS last July, I think they did a follicles count at cd10 and I Google and ya the numbers didn't look great too. did u also do an SIS or AFC previously? The number of follicles is about the same or?

Xtah, dun get stress up over it...stress wl affect the growth of the follicles..

Looks like there wl b high chance that u wl get few follicles abv 16mm wif 3 more days of stimm...

I was also told by the review doct that they might need to freeze my follicles n i guess was also due to my follicle growth...but end up i managed to make it to ET n got 4 embryos though i failed my fresh cycle...

Gd luck n Jia you!!! U wl make it to ER & ET...Hope to receive gd update fm u!!! :)
 
Hi Xtah, btw, the bt might b for progestrone test as they wanna make sure if u hv ovulated or not...coz i was asked to take this test oso...was told by the nurse that we can't go for ET if we hv ovulated...i think partly our stimm was longer than normal bah..so we need to take this bt..
