Westbb,
congrats!!! so excited for u ... bfp soon!
Micky,
oh I dinno that for age below 35, can only transfer 3 embryo. But I think that sounds reasonable lah. Its no fun having triplets. I can at most take twins
CT,
agree with u that rather have multiples than none. But for me, at most I will take the risk of twins only. Since twins is a very different story from triplets, especially if we are not big build enough like those foreigners. My fren's sis went thru fertility treatment (not ivf) and got triplets.. alamak she spent months in hospital on bedrest. You can imagine the anxiety she must have felt with fear of losing 1 or more babies. Not to mention the exhorbitant hospital bill especially when she stay in pte hospital. If its me, I think it will be torture.. cos not so rich and cant afford to high hospital bill and not working for months.

triplets will definitely increase the chances of premature and lots of complications will set in. in fact, my gynae was quite happy that for my case, only one was implanted. imagine with low lying placenta n gestational diabetes and i got twins, think my gynae will sweat~!
perhaps 2nd ER i will hope to hv twins..but definitely not triplets..cannot imagine!

Hi chery,
Go for a blood test, it's the pre-IVF blood test which consists of HIV, AIDS, and rubella.
CT,
I had measles when i was small, so i don't know why i'm not immuned. But i remember having "herpes soster" 5 years ago, it's the cousin of measles.
Go for this blood test ladies, the sooner the better.

Ladies, good evening!
Had my transfer today. It was quite ok, some uncomfort but no pain. I was transferred 3 embryos, and freeze 3. 1 seemed to have stopped cleaving. Brought back a big bag of medicine home - progesterone oral pills and viginal inserts, and a kind of aspirin (to supply more blood to the womb). Also took a progesterone shot at the butt in hospital and got to take another shot one week later.
Has been resting on the bed until cannot tahan liao, so got up and sit around. They gave me a photo of my three transferred embryos, and I'm hooked looking at it, really feel that they are my babies already...
Mickey, did they tell u your embryos grading last time?
CT, i'm given 14 days HL starting from today.
shuin, they will sedate you to 'suck' out the eggs so you probably won't feel a thing during the process. when they transfer, it's like doing pap smear.

Westbb,
good that you had a smooth transfer, do rest more, wait for the good news
hi Micky,
do you still remember how many days leave you took for your IVF cycle excluding the 2 weeks HL leave? must tell the company why you take leave,rite? i am quite worried because it's not so easy to take leave at my company, can not be too often also...

to shuin,(is it you who is afraid of the shot?)
my friend had her IVF in Taiwan and she told me no need for jab (my first time to hear it), she just inhale SUPERCUR BUSERILIN ACETATE 3x day, then blood test ESTRADIOL and ultrasound. Just note down this name and ask your RE later if you're decided. Maybe it's a new kind of drug, but i'm wondering how come inhaling only will down regulate you. Anyway, her IVF there failed, so she's doing it in HK next month.

Westbb, what were the other costs for, can roughly breakdown? Is it bec you're over 35 they transfer 3?
Any ladies here doing/done IVF at KKH? Want to hear your experience.
Berry, wah your friend really moving ard to do IVF. I find it a bit suspicious that IVF no need jabs at all, sounds a little ridiculous that it's all just inhaling something??

Glad you are doing well ... all the best to you and try to rest more and relax!

I think it's not necessary to take 2 weeks HL. In KKH I was told they usually do not give such long HL unless you asked for it. As they feel that we should carry on with our normal daily lifestyle so as to reduce the stress. But if you think u feel better resting at home, you can ask for it.

berry, that was interesting, never heard of it before. why did ur friend switch from country to country? was it cheaper there?
maya, i'm not even 30 years old leh here's what the costs entail: medicine/injections, consultations, scans, the actual procedures, freezing, insurance. it varies person to person depending on how much medicine u need.
hebe, i think it's up to you how long u want to take (max 14 days). my gynae said if your work is mostly sitting down, relax and flexible such that u can take a rest if u need, then by all means go to work after 1-2 days rest. for me, i teach, which is alot of movements and time not so flexi, so i took the 2 weeks. most importantly is that you don't feel stressed and strenous after the transfer.
micky, i've been feeling crampy, do u think it's normal??

Hi Gals
I jus went for my HSG yday ... glad that the results seems good as the contrast flow nicely through my tubes.
Btw, I also went for my IVF counselling with the medical social worker. It's really quite helpful as she brought up the emotional problem which we might faced during the whole process and advises us as hus and wife how we shld be facing them positively.
I've also went for my HIV and rubella blood test. If everything is ok, in fact I can start the injection on this coming 15 Sept 04 but I'm still thinking if I shld wait for another month. My hus had jus started on his vitamins for his sperm a weeks ago ... I was thinking if I should get ourselves more healthy ... Bu another month so as to increase the chance .... but my hus thinks otherwise, he feel we shld let it be natural as he thinks tat extra month of vitamins may not help.
What do you gals think? Pls advise ...

CT, if you are not that 'anxious' then wait for another month to better prepare both you and your hubby physically and psychologically. but if both of you are already very comfortable to start, then why not? most importantly both of u are comfortable with the decision ok. u are doing in kkh? keep us informed of ur progress...
