I mean will that actually affect the results like the quality / quantity or success?
I took meds to induce after my mc as period didn't turn up for the entire month.. And now have spotting on the second and 3rd week of the cycle when period not supposed to be here yet. Called Nuh women clinic and the nurse say could be hormone imbalance.. And wait and see if period comes.. I'm afraid Aug period won't come..
lol...hahaha...but I like durian too!!!

Wow .. Ur lining looks good !
Mine was only 7.7 scan on last sat .
What u eat to have such thickness ?
I'm getting anxious too! No 'feel' over the past few days and just started to have some AF-like cramps. I think this cycle not likely to bring good news for me...mentally preparing myself for negative outcome. Super sian when I think of having to overcome BFN and going back to work!!!
Btw, does frozen cycle count as one cycle for utilization of the grant? Or grant only applies to fresh cycles capped at 3 times?

I did ask wat I can do to imprve bt she replied onli can change/add e types of med to stim hormones n prob tcm. So Im probably bringin these concerns to my tcm n tell her bout it. Hopefully she can see hw to do bout my condition. Well at least nw im mre clarified n aware of my situation lo...

You got the SMS reminder? I think they state 7.30am by default. BT form shows 7.30-9.30am. I'm definitely not going to report so early to get poke keke.
Very hot is a good sign!

Hi babe, I referred to this source for some useful info about embryo stages, progression & pregnancy outcomes. Perspective is from an embryologist. Have a read
http://fertilitylabinsider.com/2010/11/embryo-stages-progression/
Usually I took raspberry leaf tea but for this cycle, I did not take except for 2 days after my 1st scanning. I think is the jabs cause this lining thickness and aso my acupuncture sessions.
1st scan - 8.8 triple
2nd scan - 10.6
3rd scan - 11.2 triple
Just hope it will not be too old by my ET time...
You may want to eat red bean soup, it did help in lining and last sat is ur first scan? Still got time to grow, minimum 8mm will do...

all the best to the ladies who have the blood test on Friday!
if you wanna do a hpt, spend a bit more and buy clear blue digital. I find those staring at the lines one will make you wonder unless the lines are super dark. so just go for the digital where it says pregnant or not pregnant!

Last sat was my 3rd scan I've been taking 4 egg whites , red bean soup , longan red dates daily from 1st day of stim and taking Avocado , walnuts , brazil nuts and raspberry tea on alternate days .
1st scan (3rd day of menses) -3
2nd scan -6.5
3rd scan- 7.7
Hopefully by tml will exceed 8mm .
For yours , no worries .. Chances very high due to the thickness .

Hi hopingforamiracle, are u taking the foods above in prep for your ET? I heard egg whites are more for ER, for ET we still need to take egg whites?

Yes, high in selenium, good for implantation

No, it will not affect anything - it just makes your menses come, that's all. The quantity and quality mainly lies on your age, lifestyle, diet.

Hi babe. Egg whites are wholesome rich source of protein, supports cell growth and generation. In fresh cycle, it contributes to a protein rich diet which it is believed to boost egg growth, lining growth and minimises leaky capillaries in the numerous follicles which underlies extent of OHSS. Post fresh ET, you would be advised to continue a protein rich diet to prevent or alleviate OHSS. For FET, while you may not need to eat as much egg whites, having some eggs as part of a varied source of protein rich foods in a balanced diet is beneficial for your womb, lining and hopefully supports implantation. I did take up to 2 eggs + 4 egg whites daily for my fresh cycle as I was at risk of OHSS while I took up to 2 eggs daily for my FET. All the best!

An obstetrician/gynecologist is a physician specialist who provides medical and surgical care to women and has particular expertise in pregnancy, childbirth, and disorders of the reproductive system. This includes preventative care, prenatal care, detection of sexually transmitted diseases, Pap test screening, family planning, etc.
An obstetrician/gynecologist—commonly abbreviated as OB/GYN—can serve as a primary physician and often serve as consultants to other physicians. OB/GYNs can have private practices, work in hospital or clinic settings, and maintain teaching positions at university hospitals. OB/GYNs may also work public health and preventive medicine administrations.
In KKH context, it's only when you are pregnant, then they will change the specialty to "OBS".

Just wondering if we will hit the $15k cap for medisave v quickly if we use medisave for both fresh and frozen consecutively? Or shd try to use cash for frozen and save the medisave for fresh since fresh cycles cost more? Any take on this?

"Couples seeking help to conceive can apply for government co-funding under the Enhanced Co-funding for Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART) at Restructured Hospitals Scheme.
The scheme provides co-funding for up to 75% of the cost of their ART treatment for a maximum of 3 fresh and 3 frozen ART cycles taken at public hospitals. This covers costly ART treatments procedures such as in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) with or without intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICIS) and gamete intra-fallopian transfer (GIFT). The scheme does not cover Assisted Conception Procedures (ACP) such as intra-uterine insemination (IUI)
You can use up to $6,000 of your Medisave to defray both ACP expenses and ART bills (after co-funding)"
Must utilise the government grant first, together or followed by medisave for fresh cycles cos fresh cycles usually cost more. I used cash for frozen.

Thanks! @towkayneo
I was shocked to hear my friend used up all $15k even though she did only 1 fresh and 2 or 3 FETs. So now she's deterred from doing another fresh cos gotta use cash. But she's from private hospital so perhaps her costs are higher as well...
