hello, may i know any sucess story here if u r hving fibroids? recently i found that fibroids r back and suggested to go for a lap :(
thx
 
Hi all, just wanted to share my story here. I've gone through 2 IUI and 4 IVF fresh cycles over 2 years (there was no frozen cycles as I never had any extra embryos to freeze). All cycles failed but miraculously conceived naturally a month after the failed 4th try and a 5-night cruise (cruise was quite boring to me) but maybe that truly relaxed me since there was no internet connection for work).
First 3 tries was with KKH Dr Sadana and 4th try Dr Loh SF Thomson Fertility Centre.
so do not lose hope, Jia you everyone and lots of babydust to all !

I'm already 38 years old and have low egg reserves issue.
Had taken Qo10 supplements for about 1.5 years to help in egg quality (since there is low quantity) and my husband has sperm morphology issue (he takes Qo10, zinc and vitamin E).
I've been seeing TCM Dr. Chen (Tan Siew Buoy) for one year and maybe her medicine helped me to conceive naturally. Her shop is at Chinatown Tel: 65344131. I usually see her during office hours and the queue isn't that bad (maybe 1-2hours wait).
I've tried multiple TCMs before too - eu yang sang fertility specialist which cost a bomb, marine parade whose queue is crazy (have to physically queue with no number system) and ang mo kio zou yu min acupuncture (queue can be crazy too).
Have not taken any iced/cold drinks and avoided spicy food since I've started TCM 3 years ago.

Dr Loh recommended me and husband to take Maca and L-Arginine to help in our infertility issue after my 4th failed IVF try. I bought 2 bottles each and before I started on them, I became pregnant.
I'm selling them off at cost $20 per bottle of 250 caps so if anyone is interested, please pm me. (http://singaporemotherhood.com/foru...ents-to-help-infertility.197529/#post-8196240)

Congrats! May I know how many tablets of each to take each day?
 
there is a 4cm fibroid behind my uterus n some 1cm front of it

I am a fibroid sufferer but they are relatively small (1cm and below. 3 of them). Yes location may determine if removal is necessary (other than size). I suggest to get a 2nd opinion before you proceed for the lap? I have seek 3 gynaes and none think I need lap.

which r the 3 gynaes u consulted?
 
thx so u did not remove them. mind me to ask u that u sucess in bfp?
I didn't have them removed. In fact one of my Fallopian tubes is partially blocked too. Again, Doctors and sinsehs have been positive that it won't really affect my ttc because "egg pops at alternate ovary every other cycle".

Yes I bfped naturally thrice although the first two ended in MC (first was chromosome issue at 13weeks and the 2nd was blighted ovum).

I had no successful result from my ivf attempts.

It depends on where your fibroids are located to determine if it affect implantation. Some fibroids if never remove and U BFP will grow with the bb and there could be a risk.

Hi blessedzn. As I understand, impact of fibroids on implantation depends on first, location and second, size & number. I came across this post by a ivf doctor which is very informative with relevant pics re uterine fibroids. Think it's worth a read -

I also agree to seek alternative opinion to ascertain the need for surgery before proceeding further. Take care, stay positive ya!
 
Hihi
Previously a couple of ladies mentioned discontinuing DHEA and their hair loss issue also stops.
May I check how long it takes (after not supplementing DHEA) before you see no more hair dropping?
Cos I think I remembered it was mentioned that once stop DHEA, hair loss also stops. But I had stopped for 2days and I still see my hair dropping. :( :S I hope this is just temporary.... argh...

Think its me. Dun worry,it will stop soon once u stop dhea. For me i only ate for 2 weeks n stop after that. Then e hair dropping problem no more,think its a few days after stopping.
Wat did dr loh advise you.
 
I took DHEA for more than a year. The hair loss didn't stop immediately after I stopped taking. I think it did lessen slightly over time, i've stopped taking it for 4 months now. I guess it depends for how long the medication was taken too.
I used Avalon Organics Biotin shampoo which can be bought from iherb (or watsons which i think is slightly more ex) which i thought helped to control the hair loss. But it doesn't give the hair a nice smell.

May i ask... you took dhea for a year and did it helped with egg quantity or bfp?
Yes was thinking of buying specialized shampoo for hair fall/growth if condition didnt improve by another 1 week.
 
AF reported for duty yst and had make appt w Dr for scan on day 10, will be going for natural FET with 3 golden embies left. Crossing all my fingers for this cycle. Dr did not prescribe any supplement for me to take compare to the previous natural FET I took aspirin from day 2 of AF. any ladies have similar cycle before?
 
Hi ladies, would like to ask if anyone have endometriosis (or history of it) n have BFP?

I juz failed my 2nd cycle.. 1st cycle no implantation. 2nd cycle got hcg of 40 then fall subsequently.

Then i suddenly remember one of my previous gynae who removed my endometriosis said it will affect chances of pregnancy. Cos it is like some toxicity..

So wondering if anyone can share advices.. Thanks

Me! I have severe ie. stage 4 endomestriosis and adenomyosis and fibroid.
When I wanted to start my IVF cycle, my endo was v active as in my CA125 (tumour marker) was like 90%.
When the CA125 went down to like 40% ( i took chlorophyll and reserve by jeunesse), my Dr said it's fine to not do surgery and just proceed to IVF.
So I did IVF with one cyst in my right ovary, adenomyosis on my left side and some fibroids.
So don't give up ok! There's hope for us endo ppl! :)
Just be positive and take the advices of the sisters here on what to eat and what to avoid.
I BFP with FET cos my fresh cycle didn't end up with ET due to high progesterone.

I have some fibroids too but I can't remember the locations (maybe cos I got so many different growths inside! *faints*). But I BFP. So be positive ok. I did IVF with cyst on my right ovary, adenomyosis on my left side and some fibroid.
However, I had a cousin who removed her fibroids and conceived naturally after that.
I think it depends on where the fibroids are.

Dear Wanbaby, all the best for ur ER this wed! Yes, hopefully we all get our Christmas "present" in advance for those sistas going for ET this mth and early next mth. :) Jia you!
 
Dear sistas, anyone encounter UTI during stimm before? I seems to get it since ytdy. Feel pain on my lower abdomen. I have history of UTIs in the past.
Will this affect the progress for IVF? I'm seeing doc only on this wed.

Is that chlorophyll n reserve a supplement for endo ppl ? Where got sell? How long it take for your CA125 to drop by 50% Thanks..
 
Hi ladies, check with you gals. Anyone had your polyps removed and it grew back again? If so, how long did yours take to grow back? Do you know if ivf stimulation meds will speed up polyps growth?

Hi, I do not have UTI but I did ask the nurses previously. You can take some probiotics to help to clear the infection faster.

Yes we must have hope because that's all we have! Jiayou. Must believe that no matter what, we can get pregnant. Endo or no endo, we WILL get pregnant.

Chlorophyll you can get powder or liquid form. I think GNC sells it too. I bought mine online thru fb.

Reserve by Jeunesse.. my mum bought it for me from her friend and somehow the combo of both made my CA125 go down. Maybe cos of the anti oxidant etc. I think it took a couple of months or so. I was worried cos I did my IVF at RH and doing a surgery before IVF will burn a huge hole in my pocket.

But do go with what your dr advise you. Cos it depends on where the endo is too.
