Thanks for your concern and advice, bb_blues. My doc is Prof Wong from NUH. I find it strange that he did not prescribe me with DHEA. Honestly, I don't feel positive abt my first cycle. My AMH level is 0.6... so low that Prof Wong actually said he will "disbelief" my blood test result coz it is really too low for my age (35).

The next problem is my FSH level... at 34 when I did the blood test in Sept. Immediately, I went to my Chinese physician for help and after taking TCM for one month, my FSH dropped to 20.2 in Oct. Hopefully by Jan next yr, it will drop below 13.
 
@jasjas few follies is bad And too many also cause it can be very dangerous you can be overstimilated - i did not even Know we could stimulate with do many follies :eek:
 
Wow very chim leh, how u all know hw many follicles u all have, and what is AMH, DHEA I only remember every time I go scanning the nurse will say my lining is how thick then left ovary the size of the egg n right ovary the size of the egg. Seriously I don't even know what is my AMH and what is DHEA haha
 
@Babygrin Wong does not beleive in dhea but Will tell you you can try
For your tcm waouh impressive where do you go ?
For your ivf you have to be positive otherwise it wont work !
Take care
 
Hi gigi31, AMH level is the index that determines how much eggs do you still have in store. The higher the index, the better it is. DHEA is a supplement to help women with diminishing ovarian reserves.

Lol I dun think I've taken any DHEA before as for AMH I don't think I know as well haha not informed by any doc haha
 
@Babygrin afc is antra follicule counting which is the number of follies you have on day 2 of your cycle (day when you start your stimulations ) this number varies from one cycle to another one slightly for low afc people better to start the month you have more follicules of course
Follies have différent names long the cycle antra follicules are the first days of cycle then other names
 
Ya, kind of expensive but I'm left with no choice... have to take her medicine to bring down my FSH level. She said if it does not drop below 13 when I start the cycle, the chance of success is very slim... sigh...

Thks for explaining, gigi31 :)
 
@Babygrin fsh can vary from one cycle to another the most important is your afc you need a good number of follicules to start with but not too much (10 is great )

Sisters, im sooo sad right now. Yest had scant pink spotting so I called up clinic to inform. They told me to come in for some bld tests today. This morning I had scant brown spotting too. Now no more. Anyway today is my 9dpt3dt. I was tested for estradiol, progesterone and beta hcg. Estradiol was abt 350, progesterone was 49.5...but hcg only a miserable 4. Dr said to continue my support till next thurs (which is actually the day I am supposed to take my bld test), then take urine test. If neg then stop all supports. Honestly...I hold v little faith with hcg of 4.

Hi Princess, hang in there. I thought HCG 4 is not bad cuz it is still early days.
 
hi_mei, tks for ur encouragement. actually I dont know what is wrong with me. Dr says my embryos were good (8 cell and 6 cell both grade 4 no fragments). Before that scans also all show my lining is v good.even have triple layer that can see moving in the scans. Even dr had high hopes. But yesterday after we discussed what could be the problem, dr said its probably my endometrium is not receptive. And he suggested doing endometrium scrapping (ie. D&C). He says its just scrapping off a thin layer and he can also remove any ployps he couldnt see during scans. Im terrified of this as it reminded me abt my natural miscarriage last yr which I had to do D&C. The thought of full GA also puts me off. Any ladies here have this problem too and managed to bfp without going thriugh endo scrapping?

Okok... thx for ur encouragement... but anyone wif similar case to share?? Having many follicles n still go ahead wif e ivf??
Click to expand...

Hi Jas, to let you know, my antral follicle count from the baseline scan is very high, also more than 30. But I only had 7 follicles develop, which is sub-par. Response to medication is poor, that's why.
 
hi all sisters,

missus going to try 2nd attempt IVF starting next Monday, will start taking all the jabs again........will probably need to seek some advices from sisters in this thread.

1st IVF was successfully, but baby no heartbeat on 5th week due to chromosome. We have recovered from the loss and moved on.

Hospital - KKH
Doctor - Sadhana

Dr Sadhana said on this 2nd try, will give extra jabs to Missus prevent the same incident from happening.

Cheers

Hi precious, I've read that some cramping on day 9 is ok as it may be signs of implantation. All the best as you count down to your BFP day! :)

Hi tsf, I remember Dr Sadhana mentioned to me that it is quite common for the cycle to be haywire after a failed cycle becos of the meds. Don't worry n take care
 
Missus got her prescription, 4 jabs /day, poor thingy
- 400ml puregon
- Saizen
- Luveris
- Orgalutran

During 1st IVF, missus went back almost on alternate days to measure linings. But this time round, missus was told to go back on 5th day to measure linings. 8(

Going to start cooking red bean soup tomorrow.

lynx_sea said:
Hi purple dragon, is lining scrapping painful? Oso, under wat circumstance do we need scrapping? Is there any test to determine scrapping need to be done?
Click to expand...

Hi Lynx_sea,

It's not really painful. Abit like cramp. The night before doc asked me insert 2 tablets. The next day will feel cramp and have abit of brown spotting.

No test to determine, no cfm will strike too. But from doc of view, getting it ready for implantation. Cos aft scrapping, lining will grow new cells, something like dat.

oh ic... thks for sharing the info. Btw, will scrapping do more harm than help on the uterus?
I had my BT tdy for FET. Result negative. :(
On the day of ET procedure, Dr briefly suggested scrapping. Shall see wat she has to say on my next scheduled appt.

Hi purpledragon,
Im starting my new cycle in Feb/Mar if nothing goes wrong. When did you did the lining scraping??
I think is a trend now... me & lynx are both under Dr Sadhana and she ask us to go undergo the same thing. Really is test and error.. Hit and run cases.. haixxx

Is this your first cycle as well?
