If more than 15 retrieved, chances of ohss is higher. So the BT is to test for ohss...

Anybody had cramps after ET? I had ET yesterday and feeling the cramps since today afternoon.. Went to the toilet, lots of milky white/ light yellow discharge and a tiny bit of fresh red when wiping!
Called CHR they say is normal and just ask me to take panadol.
Anybody had the same problems after ET? I'm feeling worried

Today got more spotting.. So prof ordered the dreaded IM oil based progesterone!
Last time saw some sisters here also needed this jab?
Can anyone share their experience? Anybody still managed to BFP after all these ordeal?
And daily need to go to GP to jab right? What's the cost like?

More spotting? What did Prof say? To increase support?
Or could it be implantation bleeding?
Please take care and be safe.

I went to raffles medical at JP, requested for the nurse/recep to inject, so will only be charged injection fees and not consultation. But I think first visit will still need consultation.
The one that's opened on weekends and PH and relatively cheaper is acumed at BL mrt station
Hope ur spotting has decreased!

Thanks @veraine! In the end I got DH to learn from doctor so that he can do for me at home
Talking abt my spotting, I was just sharing at the other ivf forum. My first spotting was this Tuesday, just a day after my ET on Monday. Went CHR for the first jab, then no more spotting. Today got spotting again!
Anybody here has any such encounters or heard of such encounters?
It's the first time I encounter such thing and it totally freaks me out. I immediately insert the white pills and went for bed rest. Can only call CHR tmr.

I was told by various docs and nurses I couldn't do on my own because the needle used is longer, and there was one doc who refused to jab the butt because she said butt has more nerves and she insisted on jabbing the arm. I got my way eventually but point is it really is quite dangerous.
I had a friend, pregnant and got jabbed in the butt with progesterone, and hit nerve and she couldn't walk properly for a few days.

Ya the oil based jab. Gotta learn the butt anatomy.
Today hubby jabbed for me.. I'm still alive, don't think the spotting is due the to jab hor..

I've asked at least 10 docs and nurses along the way, from CHR and clinics.. All said no to me jabbing on my own

Yeah I know.. I asked CHR nurse and she said no too.
The dr who taught us must have very high confidence on us.
If I can jab myself I will jab myself.. But I can't see my own butt, so can only let DH jab

Ya I called CHR this morning, super surprised prof called me back personally! He says I'm on quite high dose of support already, cannot increase anymore..
I was too stunned by his call and forgot to ask him the possible reasons of the spotting.. Anyway, I think also cannot do anything already..
Just rest more and pray till BT ba

I was under dr chew for stims and OR,cuz prof was on leave. Both are good drs so ur in safe hands... they will all use std protocol because is nuh protocol. Only bad thing for prof is he's always away so if ur not flexible abt ur ivf timing, u may need to have other drs stand in like I did. Not that is an issue but some pple prefer a single dr do the whole process naturally

Can't really advise u on this. I guess whether you're comfortable with KKH. If yes then no point changing. If you are not happy with them then it's time to change

It's worth giving NUH a try since its your last subsidized attempt, so long as u don't feel stressed by the change in protocol.
My opinion of NUH is that they seem to do many "extra" steps that some KK gals may feel is a waste of time & money.
I personally feel that these additional steps may happen to be just what our unique body exactly need!!
Nuh is v kiasu esp in their post-ET supports. Yes, more meds but if it works, who cares?!

Anyway, How's the procedure like in KKH? What are the stim jabs they use?
I am triggered with suprefact and got bfp

Thks all, will discuss with hubby how to move on.
I was on short protocol with kkh. Start at cd 3 .Kkh uses orgulatron on me for 5 days. Then 300iu purugon for 9 days. ( but in e midst At ard day 9 add orgulatron with purugon.) And trigger pregnyl jab after that at e hospital itself. They dun use nor e.
Different hospital different strokes. Just hope can have yuan with 1 and strike.

If I'm not wrong, NorE is used at NUH just for timing purposes - to fix day of 1st jab & hence the ER & ET days.
I was initially supposed to take NorE for 3 weeks so that my ER would be after prof return from vacation.
End up I only took for 1 week cos Prof last min decided to do my ET before his vacation.
If NorE influences the ivf outcome, then the duration for taking NorE shouldn't have just changed anyhow.
I remember my friend got something similar at GP when she wanted to delay her menses for a scuba diving trip. I don't think NorE really influences anything else but I may be wrong.

Anyway my fresh protocol was also different from some sisters here.
I cycled in Oct 2014. I used gonalF & orgalutran (instead of cetrotide).. Dunno why but it seems NUH is also testing different meds?

Thanks remember me rainbow
Hello HLing, did you go for your OR yesterday? I did mine too around noon with Prof so we could have been in the OT around the same time (I know there were three other ladies other than myself). It is my first IVF and the very first time I was put on drip and in an OT so it was quite nerve wrecking for me but it was very reassuring to see prof. I thought he looked very cute in his OT attire. Haha.
I hope all went well with your procedure. I heard from the embryologist today. I have 16 retrieved, 12 mature, 6 fertilised. I'm doing FET in Nov because I might have OHSS (hopefully not!). In any case, I'm leaving everything in the good hands of prof and also let nature takes its course.
Pls share your result if you don't mind
All the best for your ET on Saturday!

Dear sisters who had experienced bleeding / AF prior to ur beta test, do you get them just before or close to ur AF due day?
Is the flow same like ur usual menstrual flow or is it heavier or lighter than usual? Did they last the usual amount of days too? Or also longer or heavier?
Just to gather some feedbacks from sisters here.
Am having some blood flow now. Started with minimal brown spotting that turned into red full flow the next day. Tdy is day 3 of red flow. Yesterday and tdy, red flow has reduced to half a pad or palm size volume but with dark blood clots that doc says it's old blood.
Tdy is 9dp2dt. Spotting started on the night of 6dp2dt. My beta is on 25/9.
TIA

I did my OR on 14/9 Mon, managed to retrieved 10 matured eggs, but unfortunately ALL not fertilized
I was so sad and going to see doctor again to find out what's went wrong. I dun even have a single embryo. We are planning for 2nd cycle, but may not be so soon, maybe this year end or beginning of next year as I'm 40 by next year May.I did my OR on

Hello HLing, sorry to hear this. I hope the next cycle will work for you. Pls take some time to build up your body. Did you do or consider acupuncture? If not you may want to consider this as it helps your blood circulation and may also help you to relax.
I turn 40 in Jan so I'm kind of expediting my 'treatment'. This has been a rollercoaster ride. I had 31 follicles and I thought this is great and even Prof said at this rate I may have 10 embryos and don't have to rush for a second fresh cycle (if the first doesn't turn out positive) before I turn 40. Today the embryologist told me of the 6 embryos, 2 are not good so left 4. They will freeze tomorrow and hopefully all 4 remain good. What I'm trying to say is there are so many moving parts in this entire process, we just have to learn to take it easy and not let ourselves become too emotional. At least you have until May 2016 to take advantage of the govt subsidy! So think positive
Instead of just focusing on the result, let us also appreciate the process. I've met a good doctor that I can trust, a great bunch of nurses at CHR (including one who watched me cry and then laugh on my first injection), I learnt how to self administer injections, my husband actually thinks I'm so brave when I jab myself everyday. These are the rewards I have reaped so far in this experience... And of course my first time in an OT, it looks a lot less intimidating than what I saw in the movies! Let's be positive. It is a long road ahead but all it takes is one good embryo and a little miracle! Good luck!!
Hi, u got a lot of follicles given u age!! Did u do anything special or take special diet that could yield such a good 'result'? Cos I am turning 40 soon..
Hello, yes, Prof said this is rare for my age too. I didn't really do anything very special other than acupuncture to prepare for IVF, but I am generally careful with my diet. I don't like fried and spicy food, try not to take cold drinks and I run on a regular basis.. Maybe that helps. My ovarian reserve is very high 60+ from the pre-IVF test results. I was surprised by the result and the number of follicles too but it seems the number of follicles is just a start... It doesn't really equate to the number of healthy embryos from the updates I get from the embryologist so far. It is my first IVF so I'm also trying to learn from forums, talking to the physician etc
good luck to you for your IVF attempt!
