Hi @Miracle No. 2.. I'm hoping to start mine in June too.. You under Dr THH too?..Hi Everyone............
I am back to this thread....after a m/c last year...am starting my 2nd fresh IVF this June...just wondering if anyone of you can share some tips on food to eat before and during etc? I have forgotten what I took during that time...... Is COQ10 necessary for a fresh cycle? How many mg to we need?
Please help me.............
@deardyan & @hopeful13 wish u the best for the eggs.
Thk u all. I hope i can be discharge today.
@mesara prof dont even come & see me. Instead i went to see him this morning & he ask me so whats my plan? I was pissed off, i go all the way near ET oredi, instead of advising me he ask me back. Of course i told him i would like to carry on. Haiz.......
Wah.. I still blur blur sitting here not knowing i should start to take something.. lol.. now only taking TSB's herbs that's allHi , I'm taking folic acid 1mg per day and taking omega 3 fatty acid 1 capsule per day and multi vita also .
@Babygrin.. i went to google on CoQ10 and saw this.. "CoQ10, as proven in most studies, is not effective when it is taken on its own.".. shuld we take it with something else?.. very confusing..@Miracle No. 2 CoQ10 is very important for both sperm & egg health. It helps to protect the egg & sperm from free radical damage. For any kind of supplement, it Is best to take for at least 3 months prior to IVF, but there is no harm starting now.
I am taking 100mg daily. There are 2 types of CoQ10, ubiquinone and ubiquinol.
Ubiquinol type is much better and more powerful. I got it from GNC.
Ya.. like confusing ar all these supplements.. maybe i'll ask dr tan and tsb when i see them.. will be seeing dr tan next fri and tsb the following mon.. i wonder if tsb's herbs for me now will be sufficient.. scared later i overdose.. lol..I ever read somewhere that it is best taken with an antioxidant. But hor, dunno really work or not leh. I am taking it with french pine bark which is a type of antioxidant.
I dun hv endometrosis problem. My case is unexplained infertility. 4 attempts, 3x bfp, 1 bfn recently which i associated to my age. for the 3x bfp, 1x mid term miscarriage, 1x belighted ovumn and 1 live birth.
Endo scratching is a procesure that has become more common since last year. Maybe the technique is now more matured. Previously, dr loh will do endo scratch at the same time when he does a lap to remove cyst, or for some other gynae procedures.
Endo scratch has its risks. If u ask me if i were do it, i will say, yes, provided it is done by dr sf loh and i did not bfp in earlier ivf attempt. I only trust sf loh skills coz the procdeure will touch the womb. I scar easily and if womb is scar, need to fix before can try again.
I went thru 2 d&c and i had episotomy done via natural delivery. I didn't hv any internal womb scar nor keloid at the vagina area fr episiotomy. Yes, dr loh is that skiliful.
Gal miracles do happen and many sisters have proven tat. No ovary small ovary diminishing reserves r all challenges n obstacles in ttc journey but yr belief n faith will overcome the challenges. Be v positive n hopeful. U will hold tat dear darling in your arms real soonWow... Ladies, thanks for all the suggestions. You all are so creative leh... I am such a nerd, never thought of these.
@jklim4642 I teared when reading your story. It is hard to imagine what you have been through. Although my problem is nothing compared to yours, sometimes I still find it hard to press on, because it is mentally, physically & financially draining.
I am diagnosed with diminishing ovarian reserve at 35, which doc said its unusual. AMH is less than 0.6, don't think I have come across anyone who is lower than that. At times I look up to the sky and ask why me? When I was younger, I wanted at least 4 kids. Now... not even a chance of having one.
All the best dear. Praying for u. Alls well ok.I'm done with egg retrieval yesterday. They managed to retrieve 6 eggs.
The embryologist called this morning.
3 of the embryos are matured however only 2 are fertilised.
So i'm pinning hope on these two fighters.
I hope they continue to grow tomorrow. Will only know the quality of these eggs tomorrow.
Oh my. Really no sight of him. I knw hw u feel as I felt the same way with dr lau. I admitted request to c him but he never came whereas dr tan who has never seen me came upon my request. Its really disheartening. But hold on ok. We have embarkwd on the journey and must complete it. Hope n pray u get better peoceed with er n et as planned gal@deardyan & @hopeful13 wish u the best for the eggs.
Thk u all. I hope i can be discharge today.

Hi happy_mtbHi Babygrin, my AMH is lower than yours... My last test in August last year was only 0.5. It could be lower now....
I was taking DHEA then and after a couple of months the reading still dropped so I guess DHEA doesn't work on me.... Tried one natural cycle last nov. Retrieved 4 eggs. 2 fertilized but bad quality... Only grade 2 I think thus ET didn't take place.
I'm waiting for my AF to come and I'm starting my fresh cycle again probably 1st week of May. AF expected to report ard labour day...
Please take folic acid at least that is essential for our baby's development .Wah.. I still blur blur sitting here not knowing i should start to take something.. lol.. now only taking TSB's herbs that's all
Morning .. Okie.. Next Fri i ask Dr T for it.. Still got time.. I planning to do procedures in June.. So must "goot lat" take for the monthPlease take folic acid at least that is essential for our baby's development .
You are really one strong lady whom has been thru so much. Did u try assisted hatching before?
Clinic d is like fish market n always v crowded!
I am not sure if it's got to do with the timing of the trigger. All I can do now is prep my body to be healthy, go for holiday and come back full force in July.Hopeful I m v upset tat the hospital did not time trigger correctly. Anyway u take care enjoy the holidays n come back in full force soon gal.
Ya.. TSB told me Dr S dont do TPS liao.. That's y i chose Dr T.. seems like her q oso quite long.. was there on 8 apr.. non-stop and ppl all waiting.. but not as scary as dr t tho..Oh and it seems like Dr S does not see patients at TPS anymore. Wonder how her q is like at clinic D. Anyone know?
@hopeful13.. no de.. private patient oso must wait.. i go in as private.. oso waited 3 hours to see dr t.. the nurse told me only at TPS got priority.. clinic d dont have..Omg! I wonder if I will get priority since I am still paying private rate. I thought the nurses blur gave me wrong clinic. I still walk over to TPS to check and they confirm Dr S decided to not have clinic at TPS.
I oso asked this qns cos i buey tahan the wait.. the nurse told me ivf must go clinic d see dr tan.. only when cnfm preggie case goes to TPS.. so no choice.. but his nurse at clinic d is a veri veri nice lady ar.. only the waiting time is madness..Does Dr Tan HH see patient at TPS? Maybe I switch Dr. Don't want to waste 3 hrs sit there to wait for my turn. I still prefer TPS environment. Nurses also seems friendlier.
Last time they gave me appt to see Dr S at clinic D and I make a big fuss and complain that why I have lesser access to doctors when I am at TPS and the next thing is they gave me appt to see her at TPS. But this time round it seems like the nurses at TPS say Dr S no longer see patients at TPS as all is consolidated at clinic D as is at request of Dr S.Dun believe, go TPS sit there at the cashier n see for urself. Pregnant ladies have separate appt booklet. U can identify easily which r not pregnant.
khey hey!
The embryologist called yesterday. two of the eggs are still growing. Although it is of satisfactory grade one. One is 4 cell and one is 3 cell.
But she said they are good enough to be transferred. Im trying to be positive and keep thinking that these two fighters will win the race eventually
Egg Transfer tomorrow!
