jasjas23,
Sorry to hear the neg news. I know its hard the first few days. Cry over it and get yourself distracted with happy things like dine out w hubby, shopping or gf dates. Time will heal all wounds. Prepare yourself for the next cycle. Dr Zou's tel is 64560833. She is at AMK Street 53.
mbbhopeful,
Don't think so much now. Wait for your beta test tmr. Who knows you'll have a surprise?
loversinparis,
After a failed fet last mth, I started going to dr zou 2x/week for acu and taking her tcm meds. I intend to go after ET too. Getting pretty used to the needles. Im more concerned abt the long Q there sometimes. I am doing another natural fet this round and hope acu will help make my endometrium more receptive. I also did endo scratching this cycle CD4.
My ET is supposedly this fri. But embryologist said can try for blastocycsts, so ET may be anytime from this fri to next mon! I am praying I made a good decision and I will have good embryos that can culture to good blastocycsts to transfer on D5. Are you doing natural or medicated fet?
Thanks hi mei & nur. I'm hoping for a miracle. Nur, All the best for ur bt too!
Hi mei, rem me? We were cycle mates last time haha. How r u doing? Gg for another rd?
Oh great. All the best to u!! Can I check how do u all go for scan n acu while working? Take mc for scan and acu after work? Cos I'm starting work next yr liao.. Need to plan for my next fresh cycle
Mesara, i didn take any special tonics or milk formula during my long ivf protocol. but i did ate vitamins like folic acid, vitamin b, calcium and Coq10 ( i took a min dosage as i dont want to overdose myself, all 1 pill - i believe should be enough since some of the vitamins will come from the food we eat)
actually it doesnt seems hopeful at first, started lucrin to suppress during my D1 menses and after 2 weeks of daily lurin then i started stimulating injection of menopur 300units (day 1 of stimulating to day 9). after day 9 scan doc say follicles growing very small, dominant was 16mm and only around 18 follicles but majority was small, so doc introduce puregon 75units for me together with 300units of menopur (got to inject both from day 9-day12). at day 12 scan doc say follicles are ready, dominant 19.8mm and i have got 7-8 that is of the better size out of 18-20follicles (i dont remember my ultrasound nurse read more than 20 measurements) so was asked to trigger on that night which is day 12 (that marks my injection days). egg retrieval was 2 days later in the morning and i thought not alot (as i dont really feel that bloated), but was advised after i wake by the nurse i got 34 eggs retrieved. dont know when will my egg transfer be as its either a day 3 or day 5 transfer. wonder which is better too. i also dont know if my eggs can tahan till then.
any of you ladies here know if you will know how many eggs fertilised before your transfer date? by the way my lurin injection all the way to day 27 since start so i guess i probably belongs to the group where my protocol is indeed longer.
Hi, iwantahealthybaby I guess the embryologist will call to report the status of your embryos daily. I did my ER on 02 Dec. My embryologist called me the following day after they fertilized the eggs. Thereafter they called me every morning to update the status of my embryos as my doctor was also considering between a day 3 or day 5 transfer. Eventually I did a day5 transfer on 07 Dec. You just have to be on stand-by when they call. I guess they will monitor you for OHSS as you have many follicles retrieved.
Oh great. All the best to u!! Can I check how do u all go for scan n acu while working? Take mc for scan and acu after work? Cos I'm starting work next yr liao.. Need to plan for my next fresh cycle
I find it qt amazing that there are 20 on the scan and your doc can retrieve 34!!! It is a really good number.
Cld I check w u for the lucrin only stage did the clinic ask u to jab for 2 wk before starting the other medications or u have to jab til your menses?
Congrats hope4bb!Received a precious call from kk this morning. Collected meds and going home now.
Baby dust to all!!! Don't give up!
I did not experience all that as mine was fast for everything hahaha.... my whole injection process is only 8 days and I did not feel any bloating or cramping before the egg retrieval. I had bad experience for the egg retrieval though because I was awake throughout the procedure and I could even say to my doc "so fast done?" when she said the retrieval was complete. I had bleeding and very mild cramping and was ok the next day. You might want to try drinking ginger tea to get rid of the gas.
Tq for all ur well wish. Was like a dream when I got the call. Have been waiting for today for many years. Tq for all the advices and encouragements from all of u. I wish all of u will soon got ur good news!
Snuuggly, I hope ur spotting has stop. When is ur 1st appt for the first trimester scan? Base on the scan form, the nurse written me as 5 week and 4 day on 20 Dec. Do u have any idea how they calculate it? Issit from the date of ER?
Hope4bb, thanks that's gd info! Did u buy the ingredients from medical hall and brew them urself? I'm only drinking longan red date tea everyday. I do feel cold easily so my uterus might really not be warm enough
whao i thought they will give you general anesthesia and will be sleeping during the er process? i still remember i was trying hard to be awake but the vision slowly become blur and before i knew it i was completely knocked out. lolx. but i do remember them waking me up to ask me to shift to the bed so they can push me out of the mini operating room to the recovery area. and right after i ko again. hahaha.
