IVF with KKH (Tan HH)

4dp3dt... haiz. Two more weeks to go. Is it ok to go window shopping during the 2ww? I am so bored! Hahaha. By the way I know this question has been asked many times. When is the right time to do a home pregancy test? And what is the symptom that will trigger you to do a test?
Window shopping ok! Anything to make u more relax like watching movie or k drama too! U took 2 weeks HL? I had to go back work on 3rd day liao to settle work stuff...

I did not do home preg test...

First 5 days is where implantation takes place so i kwai kwai stay home. If you really missed window shop can go out occassionaly after the 5 days. I tested using opk (some say more sensitive) on 9dp5et. On 12dp5et i tested positive with clear blue digital. Do not get too disappointed if you didnt get positive cause self test are not accurate.

Oh... mine is day3 transfer which that meant I might have to wait longer to try home test. I have cramp for the past few days but today the cramp seem gone. I read some ladies here mentioned the cramp will last till bt. Strange, dunno what happen to my body.

Is common to have cramp as long as no bleeding. If preg u will get cramp all the way till second trimester but the cramp is on n off have it de. Coz the bb need to grow so thus ur uterus need to expand also. So is common to have cramps as long as no bleeding is involved

Actually 8DP3DT can start to test liao..if positive, the lines will be very faint (but that is also provided your current cycle is not fresh).

The only symptoms to trigger to do a test is: Itchy finger and burning curiosity.

Unless you belong to the super minority heng heng (or sway sway), usually a normal HPT from Guardian or Watson will determine you are pregnant or not.

My current cycle is fresh so that meant I have to wait longer... Hope I can control my itchy finger lol!
 
Felicia told me not to be too stress and go window shopping. Haha i did not really rest alot during my 2ww but i also had 2 incident of spotting. So dunno if there is any link.

Well, if u can take it that its negative den test, i din wanna test until BT but i had spotting so i took earlier BT which revealed hcg at 6dp5dt. But at 10dp5dt my hpt tested negative so i think the kit not sensitive enough
 
Actually walking worked for me twice. Not the first 2 to 3 days of cos. And if u window-shop, pls sit down every down and then to rest. And walk slow, not our usual shopping speed. Treat urself as pregnant k.

I decided maybe, maybe i will just wait and not do any test till next week, a few days before bt. Going to tie my itchy hand up. I don't feel preggy at all :(

It good not to self test. My hubby excited so bought digital clearblue and wanted me to test early. I don't feel much during tww.
All the best for your blood test. Baby dust to you. =)
 
Hi ladies. Finally 9dp3dt. One more week to go. This morning a bit pink discharge found on pantyliner. Isnt it too late for implantation to take place? Beside the slight cramp on and off, I have no other symptom. I thought it might be my AF coming soon :(

Could be good sign for u. As long no fresh red cramp is normal

I hope so but I have history of spotting prior AF , which is in 2 days time if base on 28 days cycle. And I also read implantation should happened within 7 days after ET. Haiz..
 
Anyone did Et alone without presence of husband? Or have anyone suggest to dr to do Et on Saturday due to special timing needed?
 
I've seen ET without hubby, actually there's no necessity. ET can be on day 2 until 6, but usually it's on dr's schedule. I've done on Saturday before. U might need to discuss with kkivf nurse or ur dr for special timing.

Depends on which hospital..KKH refused to do in day 6. Doctor originally ask me go back day 6 et but kkh clinic nurse say by protocol has to be 5 days.

Hellos JTH, how's your BT?
 
Ladies, I have been reading the posts (not all 131 pages though) to familiarise myself with the process.
I just scheduled an appointment to see Dr Tan HH.

May I ask how long does it take usually from the first appointment with doctor to the actual IVF to take place?

I am like a gancheong spider, partly because age is catching up, I do not wish to waste any more time.

After reading through the thread, I am glad that I made a right choice to choose Dr Tan HH.
It is important to have a caring doctor for fertility related treatment.

Anyway, am just curious if there is any whatsapp group or if ladies here are keen to have one?

I used to lead one while I was doing my SO-IUI and still keeping in touch with some of the ladies now, the support is really heartwarming.

OMG, 6 months T_T
I still told my husband most probably we gotta wait for 2-3 months.

I did 3 SO-IUI last year with no luck, then got a spontaneous pregnancy in Aug but MC end of Sept :(

Been hearing things like it is not uncommon to fail IVF on first 2 cycles, it is indeed very discouraging..

I am not sharing my IVF journey with anyone except my husband as I do not wish to get unnecessary TLC.

So at times it is really not easy to manage the emotion by my own.
 
Hellos JTH, how's your BT?
Hi tinklebbdust! BT negative which is expected. Taking a few mths rest before I proceed to next ivf. I am under dr tan too and many ladies bfp under him. I went thru So iui once and failed my first fresh ivf. My waiting time is about 4 mths because he try to slot me in the earliest date before my 40 birthday. Overall he is a very nice and caring doc

Sorry dear :(
It is good to take a break to condition yourself physically as well as emotionally.
All these processes drain us out.

I guess the "chemistry" between patient and doctor is very important.
What he did (to try slotting you as early as he can) was really very heartwarming.

I am thinking what should I do now prior to embark into the journey.
 
Hi, anyone knws when is the next avail slot for fresh cycle? And to see dr thh?
Hi, I overheard today that earliest slot for fresh cycle is now August. If you are already his patient, nurse should give you your next appointment date when informing you of BT outcome. Typically, 2-3weeks later if no pressing issues. If you're seeing him for the first time, you got to call main line to request for appointment.

Ok thank u miloqueen! Great info
 
If ur cycle being cancelled halfway thru the scanning,will they consider that u have used up government co-funding and medisave? Need an input.

I think yes if at the beginning the forms have been recording it as such. Usually kkivf will hv a square stamp at the bottom right of your prescription forms. But for medisave, leftover unused portion can be used for future cycles until NIL. Not sure for govt co-fund.

For FET, cofunding can use when embryo are transferred. So as long as u not transfer anything bk then can't use it. For medisave, u can claim it but they will count as 1st fet cycle.
 
Thanks for all ur input ladies..dr still wanting me to go ahead for Et despite my lining..dey will provide all the support they can.Tww soonest for me...All the best for 1st Fet with last embbies.Stay positive

Wats yr lining?
 
From 5.0, now day.19 5.8mm...
But they have decided not to cancel and proceed on as they think some are born with natural thin lining. Well just hope for the best and pray.

Wish u all the best! Pray v hard ok..continue yr lining diet. Hope u bfp!
 
My first appointment with Dr Tan HH is scheduled on 23/May.
Kinda looking forward to the appointment.

Question - how likely he will order the essential BT for me again? Both myself and husband had ours done 2 months ago before embarked into IVF journey but unfortunately it's in JB, a private fertility specialist clinic. Would he accept those reports?

Can't wait to start my IVF though I know it does not guarantee a +ve result but I really don't wanna waste any more time.

Bring along whatever reports u hv and he won't ask for them again if not necessary.
 
If you see doc can request for mc from doc. =)

Thanks babe! <3

So I just tell my boss I wanna apply for AL first, heh..
Though he's supportive over my decision to go for IVF and OK with the upcoming absences but still don't feel too good to tell too many people.

Hihi, I thk if u are scare, you can have a mixture of AL or MC. This is what I did for my scanning before my ER. But I fully utilised my 3 weeks of HL during my ER. However for this FET this round, I'll be taking around 1 week to 1.5 weeks of AL to rest cos I don't want ppl to be asking why am I taking another bunch of HL.

Thanks babe for your kind suggestion, I just feel bad and sorry to my boss.
Well he travels very frequently and sometimes I don't even get to see him once for that month.

I resigned in Feb as I was expecting a lot of absences for scans, medications and procedures.
However, he did not want to accept my resignation and kept asking me to stay on despite explaining the reasons behind.
He told me that is not a problem as I can just take MC or even work from home, he is fine, and he won't tell anyone anything about this.

Well, I don't know how comfortable he is if this is gonna happen one day but he's been quite good to me.
