hi all!

thank you for your kind encouragement, you girls make me feel better, though the brown discharge is still there, i think there is really nothing much i can do at this point, i guess whats meant to be will be..

i really salute everyone here! all are so brave and so positivejiayou everyone!!

Hey gal,y dun u go to dr loh and ask for support jab? Its better to be safe since this comes not easy. Jiayou n all e best.

 

[pigletlyn]

BB, may i know roughly how much do you spent on each visit at YCMH?

 

[*BB*]

Hi Pigletyn, $300++ per month for me n my hubby herbs and Coq10.

 

[pigletlyn]

Thanks BB. One more question... How long is the wait to see her?

 

[connie_hopeful]

I agree with you... All my frosties are same batch so if failed once, should I try again thaw cycle ?

I suggest u tiao e body n gear up the womb condition for the new thaw cycle. Eat healthy,sleep healthy n refrain from cold drinks. U got e frozen embries still, worth to give a try.

 

[fr0stie]

this time Im so karang kabo. I dropped my medicine ganirelix abt 50% so injected only the remaining! regret. shld not hv injected. now must buy a new piece to inject another 50%. lol.

 

[fr0stie]

Haha that's what happen to me too. 2nd scan they say not ready. 3rd scan immediately schedule ER. Smile and relax.

Hi mrs tan,

hi ladies,

my bt is out....bfn. i failed e second tme oredi.
going to start an journey in feb after cny, quiting my job at e same tme.
i wil jia you for u gals. dun lose hope, one dae....one dae it wil b our turn.

 

[papercIip]

I'm immune to chinese medicine already. First bowl tasted horrible. Second bowl, third bowl, and so on, it tastes like water. Chinese herb doesn't taste that bad lah. Your taste bud will adapt to the taste after a few more bowls. Taste like black chicken soup to me.

Let's jiayou together. We all will get there as long as we don't give up.

Is this your 2nd fresh?

 

[*BB*]

Thanks BB. One more question... How long is the wait to see her?

It depends on how many person in front my queue..if I reach there by 6.30am, all include consultation & herbs collection I think it could be done within 30-45mins..

[su_ttc]

@Labbitzz, thanks. which stage r u in?

@kammybear, thanks. how r u nw? when u starting e journey again?

 

[fr0stie]

my biggest embbies is 16.5. smallest is 9.5 and this is after 8 days of injection.

abt fet and fresh.. u shld use yr fet if u hv abt 2 or more embbies. if u have 1 frozen like me, then go for fresh better. when u go for fet, u use yr younger age embroyo and ur body is not so stressful and taxing with all the medication so some say it will be higher chance of success. besides fet also not as long waiting time as fresh as fresh need to schedule the slot with embroyologists operation theatre etc.

my first child was striked with fet after my failed fresh.

 

[remembeRainbow]

hi gals,

i need sme advice here.
i failed my fresh n fet n i still hv sme embryos. sld i continue w fet or start a new ivf?

How does your hub feel abt this dear?

Before starting ivf, I discussed w hub abt what to do w frosties. We decided we'll give ALL a chance, even if it means us ending up w a football team.
I grew to c them as my "babies" instead of "embryos", so just feel that I wanna protect & nurture them (motherly instinct?)

Many ladies wish for embryos to freeze but have none. So I actually feel fortunate to have quite a few.

That SPECIAL ONE may just b waiting for me in the freezer now, saying "Mummy, I'm THE ONE.. & I'm coming next!"

 

[kammybear]

@Labbitzz, thanks. which stage r u in?

@kammybear, thanks. how r u nw? when u starting e journey again?

I'm ok,told myself I'm more fortunate that many liao cos I've 19 frosties left ... meeting doc Steven teo on 10 Jan 2015 n see what he says

 

[connie_hopeful]

Yup, those with frosties are fortunate. Jiayou gals,yr frosties may be e 1 of hello mummy,here i come
For me,we have no surviving frosties and i have to start fresh all over. So cherish yr frosties n give them a chance

 

[Labbitzz]

@Labbitzz, thanks. which stage r u in?

@kammybear, thanks. how r u nw? when u starting e journey again?

Hi Su, me now in tww. Wed just done ET.

 

[su_ttc]

@remembeRainbow n @connie_hopeful, thanks for e advice. wil try my veri last batch of frosties. hopefully there's one waiting for mi.

@Labbitzz, hope to hear ur gd news soon.

@kammybear, u stil hv tat lots. veri gd. we jia you together. mayb we wil b cycle buddies.

Never realised i have been lazing at home for a week until i received a reminder sms from kkh this morning.

Have been reading all the messages here in the meantime. For the ladies who did not succeed this round, jiayou for the next! Dont give up!

For the ladies (or lady?) who has bfp, congratulations on graduating to the next phase.

I have been trying not to think too much about the verdict next week (though i broke this rule once in a while ). It is all in the hands of the Lord

 

[Elizabeth Seo]

Elizabeth I bought black more folate from watson. Coq010 and vit b12 from iherbs thru online. I took even blackmore conceive well gold.
Husbands migrate q10 I bought from whole sale shop: 03-04, 75 bukit timah road, boon siew building(its near by kkh) I think we cant get this medicine outside. mutli vitamins he was taking was acemax bought from kkh pharmacy. I told pharmacist to suggest some vitamins bcz we r going thru ivf. So they suggested this.

we dont know about his improvement bcz we didnt check. But with my postive result I can tell all together it worked for us

Besides we both were taking chinese herbs from tsb. All the best to ur fresh cycle. Hope this information would be helpful

Hi,how long does it turn for iherb to send ur orders. I can simply type and can be found right.

For hubby migrate q10,is this a industrial place. Any idea if they have website.

What is tsb

 

[ron8129]

[ron8129]

Prob best check with your tcm. But regardless the Singapore tcm association recommends minimim 2 hr gap btwn western and eastern meds so need to stagger out consumption times.

I am waiting too.
