Hello all, I will be returning 200 red eggs to Toa payoh zsnn today around noon. Spreading Bb dust to all!

I felt I woke up from a long sleep, abit of dizziness at first and throat felt sore which lasted a few hours, think it was the medication they gave before the GA. There wasn't much immediate pain at abdomen though until I was wheeled to the ward later. I didn't ask, but I should think Bb was fed...

Did you have regional or GA for your csec? I had a c-sec on 7th June, coincidentally was the day you posted this message :) Mine was elective c-sec, and I opted for General Anaesthesia, which means I was totally asleep when Bb was taken out from me. Bb was born 10am but I woke at about 11.30...

Hello all, I'm going to be a first-time mum too, going into my 19th week. Edd is 12 June. Don't know what to expect in motherhood, hope we can all learn and share together in this journey! :)

I transferred one 3-day embryo in my first fresh cos if to wait for blast, it would fall on a Sunday and they didn't do transfer on Sundays. I bfn that cycle..For my FET, I transferred 1 blast and got my long awaited bfp. Hmm.. I know is hard to have to wait for next cycle to transfer, so it...

That's a great number of eggs! For my fresh, I got 17 eggs and doc said I was at risk of OHSS too. But I still went ahead with the ET 3 days later, after the pain subsided with drinking 100 plus. kind of regretted doing fresh transfer after that, as I felt my body wasn't ready for another "op"...

Have you gone through at least 1 ivf cycle (ER)? u need to go through injections in your fresh first to stimulate follicle growth to yield a good number of eggs for ER. If you are not doing fresh transfer, then u can skip injections in natural fet next cycle with frozen embryos. But ultimately...

I see, Dr chew is an experienced doc, so you are in good hands. I think for medicated, there is no need to go down daily to clinic to scan, right? Good luck in your fet soon!

Hello, it means a frozen embryo transfer cycle with no medication, no injection at all. All through daily monitoring from 10th day of menstrual cycle onwards to see when ovulation takes place. ET will then be carried out 3 to 5 days after ovulation. Hmm I didn't feel anything physically when doc...

Natural fet is for those with regular menstrual cycle, i.e will ovulate. I thought my cycle was quite regular one, so after my failed fresh, doc asked me try for natural fet. When menses came, I called CHR (Nuh) and they will tell me to go to the clinic on my 10th day of cycle. Thereafter need...

I transferred only 1 blast for my natural fet, at 10 weeks now. Mine was according to embryologist a "very good" grade. Was and still with NUH. I think docs will always advise to transfer only 1 embryo becos of risk of complications from twin pregnancy. I am 35 this year btw, not too old but not...

Hello, once you are in the ivf programme, there will be blood tests and regular scans to monitor your follicle & lining growth, once every 2 or 3 days. The injection type and stimulation dosage will be adjusted accordingly. As for the costs, there is no need to pay upfront for these scans and...

Wow..Hehe u are taking alot indeed. Have u considered taking prenatal vitamins which contains folic acid and many of the essential vitamins? I switched to Rainbow prenatal supplements just before my last ivf cycle, and after reading posts by other ladies here that they bfped soon after taking...

No, I didn't do Endo scratch..I wanted to see how my 2nd ivf try went first before deciding. I had contemplated to do either endo scratch or acupuncture if it failed, but luckily I didn't have to.

Hi catinthesky, jiayou! Take it that u can focus on starting your ivf soon. Ivf has higher chance of success than iui, though of course, the journey is much tougher. Actually, the injections are really not as painful as u might think. For me, it felt like an ant's bite for a few seconds, that's...

Yes, it's 1 tab morning and 1 tab night.

Nope, just short protocols..

For myself, I had about 9 days of jabs before my ER..but every woman is different. u gotta go to the clinic on average once every 3 days for scans to monitor the follicles' growth. Once near the ideal follicle size of 18mm, doc will ask u do trigger shot at 36 hours before ER. Ohh and u mean...

Hi catinthesky, Yes u can start your ivf cycle in Nov. I was with NUH on short protocol and last did my 3rd failed iui in April. Started ivf cycle the following month. In your case, assuming if u are with nuh and your period comes this month, u have to call the hosp and inform them u want do...

Ohh just curious, why din u stay with Dr Chew for this cycle and 2nd fresh? Since u have been successful before, it means u can do it again. I think fresh cycle is much more emotionally draining and stressful on body as well. So if I could start again, I would choose an fet. Though having said...
