Hi, @sundowner congrats. its nuh protocol. I think kkh also does the same. Its 2ww for scan after bfp. I think the twice a week jab will have to be continue till the first trimester. And also continue inserts too.
Hi babydusty, I'm 8 weeks preggie with twins from ivf procedure. Why is there a need for jabs during 2ww? I dun recall anymore jabs after the embryo transfer..
I had my blood test on 12dp3dt and its 103. I had my repeat blood test yesterday on 16dp3dt and the result is 1000 something. Im with nuh. The nurse arrange an early scan this thurs instead of next week. Prof instruction she said. Do i have anything to be worried? I ask her why so early? She said prof concerned from 100 plus jump to 1000 plus. So scan should be can see already. Do I have to worry of an ectopic pregnancy?
Cannot be twins becoz i transfer only one embryo. I am very concern too as much as the nurse and prof. IM SO SCARED!
Hi everyone,
This is my first post here and I am excited to say that my first IVF procedure with 1 embryo transferred has been successful and I am now 5weeks pregnant! However, the past 1 week has been quite worrying as well as I am afraid of the countless things that could happen during the first trimester. So I hope to gain some confidence and support from other mummies in this group who understands what I am experiencing.

Hi jesschen28,
First about, congratulations on your pregnancy. Second, if money is not an issue, then maybe you can consider applying to work from home (or get home leave) for the whole of the first trimester, as IVF babies are more prone to miscarriage during the first trimester if move around a lot. So the best is to bed rest. Third, you will certainly feel a lot more at ease, when you see the sac and embryo's heartbeat during the first scan.
And you have to be also very careful with your diet too. If you want the list, just PM (private message) me. Two no-no of diets during the pregnancy, especially in the first trimester is liang cha (herbal tea unless it is from medical hall, as my first tcm in marine parade said that my unknowingly taking this during my first unexpected pregnancy could be what caused the miscarriage) and almond tea dessert (I cannot be sure if this is the cause of my miscarriage in mid June this year), as I also was suffering from subchrionic bleeding in early pregnancy.
If both you and your husband are not conventional/traditional believer, you may want to see tcm sinseh to stabilize the pregnancy. Just PM me and I will be more than happy to give you the details.
Finally, have a happy and healthy 9 months pregnancy ahead.
Congrats jesschen28!
Yes... Rest if u can.. Important esp in first trimester.
Hi tryingtoconceive2014, thanks for the words of advice and I am so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Hope you are better now...
I have converted to part-time teaching for this year so that I can concentrate on the IVF but I did think about taking no pay leave for the first trimester but money will be a problem. Will consider it again though...
My gynae told me not to take chinese medicine so I don't even dare to take the herbal teas. I think I am quite kiasi when it comes to this...haha
I will PM you for the list after this...Thanks for sharing
Congrats Sundowner! At 8 weeks they can already tell that you have twins? That's cool! How many did you transfer back?Hi babydusty, I'm 8 weeks preggie with twins from ivf procedure. Why is there a need for jabs during 2ww? I dun recall anymore jabs after the embryo transfer..

Hi Jess,
I'm teaching too and has been working during my first trimester. I'm in my early second trimester now. Do not strain your body or overexert if you are tired. If u feel unwell in the morning, u can always go to ur GP for medical leave. They are v understanding.
I've been advised to avoid taking any chinese medicine / tonic in first trimester too.
My gynae mentioned that not all IVF pregnancies are considered high risk. It really depends on the situation. Don't worrry too much. Just take good care of yourself. =)
HI BABYDUSTY IS IT YOUR FIRST TRIAL? MINE COMING SEPTHi, anyone ivf mummies in 2016. Im still in my early stage. In 2ww again for my first scan. Proluton jab twice a week. Its hurts man!
Hi Shinirou, nice to know someone from the same line here It's just that sometimes when I work, I will forget that I am pregnant and start overexerting, only to regret later when my lower back and womb starts to ache...
Congrats Sundowner! At 8 weeks they can already tell that you have twins? That's cool! How many did you transfer back?
Thanks jesschen28!
Congrats to you too on BFP!!
I transferred 2 embryos out of unforeseen circumstances. Glad that both survived but also kinda worried abt twin complications.
U should be able to see the fetus heartbeat in your 6/7 week scan soon
Thanks! So exciting to be carrying twins! I always tell my hubby that if I can have twins, I can 'close shop' after that already
Yups...can't wait for my scan next week!

There are some implications with twin pregnancy. For instance, I have terrible morning sickness (more like all day sickness), indigestion and heartburn. I have completely lost my appetite at this point of time. I can't sleep well too, confused over whether it's due to hunger or indigestion.
Also, I worry a lot abt twin complications such as unequal birth weights, premature babies, underweight babies, having to go thru cesarean instead of natural birth etc.
That aside, I do intend to close my factory upon successful delivery of the twins. Hopefully first and last pregnancy. Too old to tahan all this suffering. Haha.
Do share with us results of your scan next week!!
Hi sundowner,
My cousin's wife in Taiwan. 10 years ago, she did succeed in her 3rd try of IVF and conceived twins (a boy and a girl). After that, she closed shop already.

I think it is common to have so many worries when one is pregnant with a kid, moreover, you have twins. But I think we should try to encourage one another not to think too much and stay positive. Initially when I knew that I was pregnant, I was so worried over everything in the first few days until I couldn't sleep at night. Luckily, I got over that after talking to other mummy friends and I am sleeping well now. So jia you!! Hopefully your morning sickness will end soon!
hi guys! just wanted to drop a note of encouragement. I conceived via IVF on my 2nd try through a private gynae and am currently at week 24.
My husband and i have been through a lot to make this work. I went on a 1 year no pay leave to try for ivf and eventually didnt return to work due to disagreements with the new boss on the terms of my return. I was devastated at that point, I was 3 weeks pregnant then.
Anyhoo, it is an exciting yet scary time for all of you, i can imagine!! I was delirious when i first found out. I started crying outside the gynae clinic . But due to my super kancheong nature, that happiness was replaced by kancheongness and a lot of fear. I had bad bouts of insomnia too.
While the first trimester is risky, don't worry too much alright? Just continue on all the support meds and jabs. There is only so much you can do. When i get kancheong, i just tell myself 'no bleeding, no cramps, im still pregnant', n i feel a bit better after that.
Good luck and congrats everyone!
Indeed pregnant with twins can be worrying.. But it's double blessings!
So let's look forward!
I'm pregnant with twins on my 3rd fresh.. Now in my midst of week17..
Resting at hm though... Not wanting to take risk..
Hey faith, u took annual leave to rest at home? Doc gave me a week of HL to rest partly bcos of my high bp & partly cos of my bad nausea.
Hv u done oscar or harmony test? I'm in a dilemma cos I'm afraid of bad results so thinking not to go for either test.
Hey mummies, I finally puked for the first time in the morning today. Morning sickness has set in...Although it is very uncomfortable, I am happy that my body is reacting to the little one inside. Anyone has any remedy for morning sickness? Like anything to eat or drink to make me feel a bit better?
I drank ribena and ate apples..Hey mummies, I finally puked for the first time in the morning today.

Thanks!Keep your tummy warm. It eases the discomfort for me. Apples work slightly for me too.
Congrat! You are with Kkh right?hi all, I just had my BT last saturday and it was positive with HCG 900+. However will only scan for heartbeat on 2nd october. I'm so worried if it's a chemical or ectopic. Does your dr check your HCG every few days?
Congrat! You are with Kkh right?
They don't do hcg check every few days, unless ur initial hcg level is less than 250 I think
Usually the next wait (abt 2weeks later) is for the scan to see the sac and probably the fetal pole.
Oh ya.. U with RH.Thank you I'm with RH.
Ooh so not all hospitals will keep monitoring HCG?
Yes my scan will be in 2 weeks time. So scary. I hope all will be fine.
How far along are you faith? I remember seeing you in the IVF support thread.
