Year 2016 IVF Mummy To-Be


Btw do any of u ladies mind if friends (not say v close ones) ask u if the baby is natural?
Realised that I am not v happy if the friend is not a close one...

But if close friend then ok la. I even joke to them, this baby THH gave to me again. Lol.

Or is it too sensitive? I feel that ppl should not ask such questions, knowing that it was difficult to conceive. Most of my friends were very understanding though, and refrained from the question, just congrats...

I am quite open about it and I'm glad I did. I had a few friends who were considering ivf approaching me privately and I was able to support them during their cycle. I was v fortunate that I had a close friend who went for ivf before me and she was a great support when I embarked on my cycle. So I thought it's a great way to pay it forward. =)
 
Mine also same problem last time... Keep vomiting..
The doctor said give ridwind (cos may have wind in stomach) but i tried adding this probiotic drop called biogaia which worked tremendously. I bought biogaia from guardian.

Thanks mei. How many drops did u add?

I am open about it and if ppl ask me I will just say yes I do ivf but if they never Ask I won't say.

Nope, nobody knows except a very close friend. Needless to tell them.
 
No ley..he's more prone to natural, or perhaps did you ask him why he suggested C-sec?
Perhaps he's just giving you more options?

Oh... then I probably mistook him. Cos I m hving twins and he probably wants me to be more mentally prepared high chance I will go thru c-sec. Otherwise he probably wouldnt suggest this so early to me.
 
I rem him telling me that if can go for natural birth then go for it. Unless really no choice then go for C-sect. But he advised me to take epidural and said that there's no need to go thru the pain.

Shinkirou, he is really a caring doc. Glad that we are all in his good hands.

Yup I agree with u... Actually the gd thing abt it is some ppl did go up to me for help in ttc after that... And i am glad all of them succeeded...

I'm ok to tell and share.. I guess sometimes also good in a way cos those who have difficulties conceiving will ask about the procedure. (My friend who shared with me was also open about it)

Yup true...

Actually i am greatful to the person who shared with me (she is not even really a friend but someone I met in passing) and cos of her I was open to ivf. Or else i may never have considered it :)
 
Is different for passing. . Some ppl don't understand and will talk bird word behind. Definitely such ppl. Emy parents I also no say. Cos won't wan them to worry......

Oh, usually if you are having twins, high probability that you will be going for c-sect. You can check out w the twin mummies here

True! Most people will talk behind your back more than appreciating your open-ness. Parents & in-laws I never tell them cos if the kids fall sick or anything, they will blame it on IVF or they will speculate if it's me or hubby who has problem hence go through this path

How many frozen embryos do you have with kkh? I think FET is relatively hasslefree than fresh cycle coz it only requires monitoring of the lining and for few, perhaps require some medication to aid the growth of lining. HL is only 3 days as compared to 17 days for fresh. As for outcome, it really depends on the embryos. Some had better luck with frozen embryos while some fresh. For me, i dun have much luck for my FETs as out of 4 times, 2 ended up in MC.

Gal, i think you will get more sharing from this thread http://singaporemotherhood.com/forum/threads/ivf-icsi-support-group.2902/page-3949#post-8365974. Good luck for your Dec ivf!

I only left one and we wanted to go for fresh cycle but the nurse say this frozen is good grade and ask us don't discard away. Praying God will be w me.

There'll be a report (shown below) and ultrasound photos. The sonographer will check the various organs and will verbally tell u if everything is good based on what she/he sees. But if there r problems, they might get gynae to explain to u.

Thank u so much.
When we saw Dr Tan on the same day after the scan, we were out of his room in less than 3 minutes. Ha. He just looked through the report and told us that everything is good n we had no questions for him. No need to do scan in his room. So that's $100+ gone in 3 min. But again, we were thankful that scan result was good n there was nothing much to discuss.

S$100+ for a peace of mind, ok laaa.....
 
How come i never see this report before huh? Hmm..... but $100+ for some assurance as well as a look at the eye candy is worth it.

@Elizabeth Seo I popped this Jan only. Will get the green light from the doc when i see him for pap smear in Aug. FET should be quite fast coz no need to q.

Have laa...you must have overlooked it. it's a stack of docs together with the baby's snapshots after the detailed scan. You need to bring the whole stack to THH for review.

Wa, swee swee liao lor, back to back!

I think i remember liao. I dun have coz i never did the detailed scan at KKH as they "rejected" my case.
THH helped to arrange with his friend under private practice so that i can have a second opinion on my FTS result.

No back to back la. Try in Nov/Dec may not strike le. Remember, i have no luck with FET. Anyway, i gave myself 1 more fresh to try. If still don't have, i either close shop or try natural liao.

wa, I realised THH really goes to the extra mile to help his patients. In some forum, while other doctors gave the "death sentence" to patients, he kept encouraging them to try and in the end, these ladies saw rainbow at the end of the tunnel. I think he is really passionate about his job.

Aiya, sometimes v hard to say one..if I recall correctly, you are hoping for a princess right?

Ya lor he "sold his life" to the hospital liao. When i told him ADC rejected my case, he called his friend immediately and arrange for me to go down next day. Perhaps it's because of his religion as well as procreation? When i told him i am more keen in fresh cycle, he told me use up the frozen embryos coz considered as lives liao. And yeah, i want to bo for a princess.

I wanted to find out which church he comes from and if most of the people there are like him. How come he talk and behaves like a "saint", ever so encouraging and his voice brings hope too!!!! Hope my sons can be like him, not in terms of achievements but the positive vibes that comes from within him.

Not again la. I nvr do 6 weeks postpartum coz i am still having lochia discharge. So postpone to Aug lor.
And becoz age catching up, that's why trying for #3 before i have no more energy. Lol. Tsum, you'll get used to d ache and will become part of you soon. Hee...

Haha. I thought I'm the only one who has such warped thinking. We chose to stay on with Dr Tan as our obgyn after ivf cos wanted our child to know about the wonderful doctor who "brought" him to this world. Would love to share with my boy how nice Dr Tan is and hopefully my boy can be as good-natured. (Dunno what's the link. Haha. Maybe as someone we can look up to.)
 


If you are planning to get prenatal insurance, please remember to request for a copy of that detailed scan report from the ADC staff if possible. ADC usually will only give u a copy to pass to your gynae. So most people would not have seen or have a copy of that report. I didn't look through it too on the day of the scan. Had to pay $10 to request for a copy of it from the medical reports dept after that.
