happy0341, I've been thru the same prior to BT... I still continued my inserts, just in case we are one of the lucky ones who get heavy flow but went on to bfp (but i found out i was not one of them). for kkh, BT is compulsory, and you can call ivf hotline to arrange for a BT 3 days earlier instead of waiting for the scheduled one.
 
Hi Sistas, i would like to ask if anyone did SIS scan prior to IVF?

I went for SIS after 2 failed fresh. Is there any thing u wd like to know?

My experience is that it is not painful, just some very minor cramp during the scan, much better than HSG.
 
Hi all, I on 2ww D11 will be going for my BT next Tue. Would like to get some advice on the below do or don't after ET.

1. Can we eat seafood (like prawn) or is there any food that we are not suppose to eat?
2. Can we continue acupuncture?
3. Can we go for foot massage or body massage?

Happy0341, I also have brown discharge n get heavier so I guess I m out. I m having my blood test tomorrow. It will be a closure for my 2nd IVF tomorrow and on my way for the 3rd one.

It's compulsory to go for BT in KKH. U can call them to arrange for an early BT.
In fact, my BT is next mon too and I called them to arrange for early BT this Friday as I notice there are some brown discharge. But the nurse did warn that if the BT result on Friday is low we will still hv to go BT again on Monday to see if it increase. I would think that it meant those borderline cases when she says low.

I would still continue the insert till I see red. Brown still hv hope.

Thanks Happy peanut. I find it hard to book the appt. Today is my day 1 which I'm told to call and book the appt. It took me many calls to get through the line and when i finally did, they only give me one slot. And if i dont make it to this slot, i would have to wait for another mth. Im feeling helpless... its like omg. Is the whole ivf journey going to be like this? Like so hard to get appt etc.

My first ivf also failed last month, it was rather devastating but you'll be fine later. After the BT, the nurse will call you to arrange a visit the Dr. I just met doc last thurs and he arranged for my FET in July. Shd b abt 3 mins later for your body to stabilise.

Hi, i think you can see dr loh if u really wanna put yr mind at ease n take support jab. Some sisters do that. Congratulations on e faint line. Who is yr kkh doctor?

Alternatively, you can walk to kkh (if u are kkh patient) for an early blood test this friday. Explain to them y u like an early bloodtest. Think they will allow.

Congratulations!!! My suggestion is first call KKH and tell them you tested positive with clear blue and ask if you can go for earlier BT. Prob 2 or 3 days from now. Apart from that, if you are not bleeding or spotting, the normal 2ww support is good enough to get you through.

You can go see a private doctor if you want but doesn't mean s/he will prescribe more support if your pregnancy doesnt need it also. However, it may give you a peace of mind, and a peace of mind is worth more than its price in gold. :)

BUT, if you see any sign of spotting you should call KKH ASAP or see a private doc and get more support.

Apart from that it's wait for another 2 weeks to viability (heartbeat) scan.
 
Ladies, mind sharing with me how is ivf procedure? Wanna get myself prepared. Tried googling but info not very in dept. TIA!

Hi emk,
Laparoscopy doesn't say it's a scope to check what. Did the doctor tell u? I'm with kk dr lau, after the preliminary checks and blood test, if ok, they will refer the patient to KKIVF and start to book a slot. Now is May, so maybe your next ivf slot will be in July? After looking at the test results, the doctor will advise iui or ivf and refer to KKIVF. Or at least that's what dr lau did for me during the consultation. He told me our case not suitable for iui, go straight to ivf. Asked us to go KKIVF n ask for next possible slot. Hope this helps.

Hi EMK laprascopy is not mandatory for ivf. Pls find out the reason why he suggested this.

My first cycle was with CC Khong and i was requested to do SIS. After SIS, he found 3 small polyps and told me to remove them before ivf. I did what he recommended and bfp-ed in that cycle. I think he also helped to "clean up" the uterus during the procedure. If ordering the lapro is to check whether got cysts or fibriod etc, SIS may be able to work and it is less invasive? Better to find out why need to do laproscopy.

The nurses have ever advised me that it is better not to induce AF coz it is not the "actual" cycle. If AF din come by the estimated date, give yourself another week. If still dun report, may need to see doctor first before you can start the cycle. If still in doubt, maybe you can call kkivf to check again.

Hi daybreak_rose
Thanks for your advise
Yes I did asked Dr Khong why do I need to do laparoscopy, he said this is to check the internal and external of my worm and if there is any cyst he will laser it off at the same time. He explain cyst will poison the baby or cause miscarriage. I got more puzzle becoz my scan result is ok and my husband result not very good. So we ask him can we skip this and go to ivf. He said cannot as this is a must to do and after this laparoscopy then he can give us a plan. And I'm a private patient so this laparoscopy will cause estimated $7,075. I wanna get a good doctor for second opinion but don't know who to approach. May I know what are the preliminary check for ivf? And how u make appt with dr Lau ? Maybe I can call to change doctor

Hi emk, do check with the doc reason for doing lap & what is he checking? After doing lap, u will need to recover for a few mths before u can proceed to do IVF as it is still an operation. I have a friend who went to KKH and saw Steven Teo who suggested she do lap too and it scare her to max and the reason was to check if she has endometriosis or something like that. In the end she changed doc to Dr Tan and he did not suggest for her to do lap but try naturally for a couple more mths before coming back to decide if she shld do IVF.
