I scare of pineapple.. but saw some websites recommend pineapple. Wondering if it works!Jia you jia you
By the way, any sisters tried pineapple core? I read that it helps in implantation but I did not dare to try thinking that it is pineapple
have u tried pharmacy? They should have it in guardian?Hilooooo, anyone here knows where can I find DHEA? Tried finding it in NTUC but to no avail. Hehe.
Medication may have effect on sperms. My hubby started having to take daily meds for his genetic high bp. I read his med can affect sperm quality but doc said cannot stop Med coz it is risky too. So even when all he did resulted in improved count and concentration, his morphology still below par. But even so, the embryologists did say the improvement helps a lot.Hi thanks for your reply. The complication is that my husband currently has kidney stones now and we are not sure if the medication he is taking now affects his sperm quality. It was around 6 in 2013 and now is 2 (normal should be 15 and heard that need to be at least 5 for IUI). Furthermore he has obesity issues.
But after the very traumatic scan (for him, i admit that I had to endure very hard to stop giggling during the scan), we confirmed that his testes are of normal size and no abnormal growth inside.
I wonder if the doctor's skills actually makes a difference?
And also, I heard that after transfer need to have bed rest for 5 days? Now not required?
Got mine from kkh pharmacy. U can try iherb, its about 40% cheaper for the same brand.Hilooooo, anyone here knows where can I find DHEA? Tried finding it in NTUC but to no avail. Hehe.
Usually doc will suggest endo scratch if one had failed an ivf. They will do the scratch around day 21 and u cannot be pregnant when they scratch u, which means u cannot BD the month before your scratch lo, like waste one chance to be pregnant naturallyCan we ask to do the endo scratch? Or up to the doc to decide if we need?
Dhea can only be prescribed to a named patient, kkh do hv it but I heard is $40 per box. i got mine from iherbs. Alternatively, you can buy from GNC at JB, the name is called Wild Yam. This one is more of a TCM herbs.Hilooooo, anyone here knows where can I find DHEA? Tried finding it in NTUC but to no avail. Hehe.

Does your hubby eat any supplements?
My hubby refused to do accu and seeing tcm as he don't have the patient to wait for his turn and he's more into western med than Chinese med. My hubby has poor morphology and I'm thinking of asking him to take some supplements to improve his sperm quality as he's slready 40 plus flying often for his biz trips.

Then if it's being prescribed and if you were to buy it yourself how would you know the dosage ?Pineapple core contains an enzyme called bromelain that reduces inflammation, thus it may help in implantation. However in Asian societies pineapples are considered taboo as they cause contractions and may lead to miscarriage (though to be honest, you'll need to eat a lot of pinapples for that effect to happen, and you'll most probably get diarrhoea before that happens). So it's up to your comfort level, and again moderation is key.
DHEA is not available over the counter in Singapore. Only can get under doctor's prescription. There's a number of sisters who order online from iHerbs.
For your reference, my dr advised me to take 25mg x 2 times a dayThen if it's being prescribed and if you were to buy it yourself how would you know the dosage ?
My doc prescription was 25mg, twice a day. Same dosage recommended in the book "it starts with the egg".Then if it's being prescribed and if you were to buy it yourself how would you know the dosage ?
Do u really take it 2 separate times a day or together? I asked the nurse at pharmacy but she din really give me a proper answer.For your reference, my dr advised me to take 25mg x 2 times a day

Hi, anybody going for FET in June? My girl who is now 13 mths old successful through 3rd IVF and is going to try for a sibling for her in June. Is it a norm now that dr will go for Blast for FET now?
Hi milogal88,
May I ask what did you specially ate during the 2ww?
Hi milogal88, any advice on what to eat and drink before 2WW and during 2WW? Can certainly do more with more advice! And better to be kiasu and successful isn't it?
Thanks for sharing, milogal88! Very useful information.
Has anyone taken letrozole treatment before? Any advice on what to look out for and is blood test at D21 necessary? I don't recall the need for BT when I tried clomid.
Hi milogal, wow I wonder how many sisters here sleep by 1030!!! How many??7. Sleep early (normally I’m in bed by 10.30pm or latest 11pm)
And if u have immunity issues like me, do not take immunocal.
D
I see...was wondering why need BT and so early how to tell if BFP/N. Will give it a try while waiting for ivf counsellling. Hope no major side effects...clomid was still ok. For such BT at KK, do we just walk in and request?Have tried letrozole before. It's similar to Clomid in that it stimulates ovulation. It may help for people who tried Clomid but are resistant to the med.
It's taken for five days (day 2 to day 6 of menses), then you BD starting from around day 8-10 of menses, every alternate days if possible.
Day 21 menses blood test is necessary for both meds, as it tests whether you are ovulating by taking this med (there are people who are resistant to either or both of them). Works by measuring the level of progesterone, which raises post-ovulation. If no blood test is done, there are physical indicators but these are by no means accurate.
Hi milogal, wow I wonder how many sisters here sleep by 1030!!! How many??
Also, what kind of immunity issues do you have? And how did you found out? And what did u do to improve ?
What did your doc say about the level of the blockage? You can go for a laproscopy procedure to clear the tubes. May not be 100% but it's an option.I just found out that both my tubes are blocked. Feeling so down at the moment.
What happens after this? Is there a surgery to unblock the tubes?
Oh dear. When will the results be out?Oh man ladies. Can I just say I'm having the worst month in this year? I went back for blood test after MTX jab. On sat hcg was 580. Today bt hcg is 2000+. Uterus no sac. Scan see nothing. Thh sent me for imaging ultrasound detailed scan. Still waiting for results. Anyone has been through the same odd case ? Sighs
Already out. Nothing they can see. Ectopic is still not ruled out. But thh explained within few days of MTX the hcg may rise. But I need to monitor further. So Saturday bt again. Sob sob.Oh dear. When will the results be out?
Hugs. I cant imagine the roller coaster. Hope u get more certainty on sat.Already out. Nothing they can see. Ectopic is still not ruled out. But thh explained within few days of MTX the hcg may rise. But I need to monitor further. So Saturday bt again. Sob sob.

I have read some articles that eggs can be retrieved at as early as 16mm for improved egg maturation and results. Do you want to discuss this with him too? I also have crappy eggs. A lot doesn't make it after extraction. Wanted to discus this with my doc but there's a risk also to extract that early.Hi
Has anyone had egg maturation problem?
Dr Foong says my two Ivf cycles had Low eggs matured
He says he will try to change protocol next time . But if the results is the same after changing protocol, it means I have egg maturation problem and he says it is hereditary and that this is a rare condition
He suggests if I really have such a condition , it means my eggs won't work and need to find donor eggs overseas
I was so devastated I broke down in front of dr Foong
Does anyone here have the same problem
Can share with me if there is Any success and does it really mean the end of my ttc journey?
Oh ok...think I better ask when KKH next call me. Still very new to their workflow and feel lost at times. I thought if I am given letrozole then they should at least advise me to call when I start the cycle. Usually very rush after each consultation...the nurse just chuck you the forms and off you go for payment. Haven't even digest the info and instructions.Hmm think the blood test have to be ordered by the dr. Maybe try calling the clinic to ask?
