Congrats! Xin ku le, 3 rounds! But it's all worth it in the end... Can call and ask one?
Ys, actually planning to give up if this time fails. Kind of accept the way it is and enjoy freedom. Was very surprised and overwhelmed by the results and now still keep an open mind because miscarriages are not uncommon. I've been married for 7 years so all the tears and feelings a bit cold liao. Not as obsessed as before. I will ask when I go for my Jabs tomorrow.

ET: singleton
Edd: 14th Mar
Finally reaching 10wks preggy in 1 days time! Pheww~ it was a roller coaster 10th week pregnancy for me because despite the suportive jabs & pills, i actually went through 1 huge heart attack. Thankfully, its over!
Btw.. Not very active here. But would be great if we can start a whatsapp group to help support each other?

Welcome! Saw u in the ivf support thread before! I was wondering whether to broadcast this thread there but decided to just PM those who reported positive beta.
Ya it's a bit quiet cos we have v little participants. I'm good with starting a whatsapp chat group! My number is 97311481. If you girls are comfortable with letting me know your numbers, I can start adding you.
Kukuangelia, what's the big heart attack? Mind to share? I think now you're the furthest along le.

I'm starting to have this "empty" nauseating feeling before and after meals. Like super hungry, but after eating, cannot digest. But no puking. I hope I won't have MS but on condition the baby is developing fine. Some of the girls in my Apr EDD group chat says MS is due to hormones and I only hope I have enough to support the pregnancy.Hey Almondearie, I am not suffering much from MS either.

Still love the food I love. No weird cravings, except prawn crackers yday. But unhealthy siah.
酸儿辣女。in case you don't understand Chinese, it means sour son, spicy daughter... Means if u love sour food, ur baby cld be a boy and so and so forth. Lol I've said this in the other group but they threw it out cos the 2nd and 3rd timer mummies did not have the right symptoms previously. Haha.

Hi dearie, i pm-ed you my number already.
Heart attack was... i encounter a gush of blood flow out suddenly. With no blood clot and no cramps. Went straight to A&E as my Dr wasnt on duty that day. Scanned my lil one and his/her heartbeat is flickering well. What a close shave my heart sank so deep down
Thankfully, everything is over. Hehe! So far at wk10, other then eating well. Im not experiencing pleasant journey with IVF BFP. Lolx

Hi Dearie,
The gynae on duty @ A&E only tell me it is threatening abortion. The good thing is there is not blood clot or cramps. Okay, its over!

2.. Estrofem: 2pills/day decrease to 1pill/day (Stopped at wk8)
3. Crinone: 1stick/day
4. Prolutan: Twice weekly (Mon & Thurs)
5. Duphaston 3pills/day

All the above info helps

Me me me! I'm reporting! HELLO ALMONDEARIE and KUKUANGELIA from the other IVF thread! I just did my BT today and BFP at 356 beta. Can't believe it's true and this feeling is so surreal.. I'm sure u ladies know how I feel!
I'm a little worried that my beta is so low.. Saw some of u in high hundreds and even in thousands wow. My med support also not as much.. Should I be worried?

Wooohoooo~ welcome welcome
Not gonna congrats you yet due to superstitious belief.
Btw.. my HCG reading is only 543.3 slightly above you only and I'm already wk11 preggy. Yeahyeah~
Looks like your first scan will be around 1st week of Sept.
As for the supports, trust ur Dr. I think it depends on which hosp are u in. Alot of successful IVF mtb are with KKH here while im NUH. NUH tend to be more kiasu in supportive meds i think. So Im super kua zhang kind. Haha

Good morning everyone. This is my first time posting on this forum, and am not sure if I'm doing it correctly. I will be starting IVF program tomorrow but don't quite understand the difference between long vs. short cycle. Appreciate if someone here could share the differences with me. Many thanks in advance.

Hi ladies, i am from kkh ivf and had just gotten my hcg result not long ago. Had also just been discharge from hospital due to moderate severe ohss.
Ladies, do u all have any symptoms? Eg, nausea, hungry and so on...
I can only feel bloated and abdominal pain due to ohss. Not sure if this is normal ...

Hi Picasso, this is a relatively new thread, looks like most of us here do not have long protocol experience. What I've been through should be short protocol, where stimulating and transfer happen within the same cycle. If I'm not wrong, for long protocol, you have to inject yourself for 2 cycles (more jabs and longer time taken), then transfer in the 2nd cycle. But I'm not very sure, I think it's best you post this question in "IVF/ICSI Support" thread under Matters of the Heart section. There's way more forumers there so a way bigger pool of resources for you to get your answers from.

Hi, I didn't feel any nausea or hunger... Just rmb very bloated so I kept taking isotonic drinks... Helped me a lot. And I'm sure the doc prescribed med for your OHSS; must be diligent in taking those.
You will have lots more questions since you've embarked on this journey. Like Picasso, I would advise to post in the support thread. I've gained a lot of help from there during my own cycle...
All the best ya!

Thanks very much for your time Almondearie. Indeed I was just told by the nurse that these days, most patients would be given the short protocol, unless they have other medical conditions that would require long. At any rate, am nervous but glad that I don't have to go through the long one. Have a good weekend everyone

Congrats !!! U've come a Long way .. May ur journey to motherhood be a happy , safe and trouble free one .Ya it's my first fresh cycle. First try. I have a blocked tube and my hb has a health condition which he is undergoing clinical study for right now (new medication) so we can't try naturally. Doc didn't think IUI was going to work for me so he recommended IVF straightaway. Also cos of my age (I'm 34); he was v explicit about it *rolls eyes*.
I felt the odds were against me cos I have funny menses pattern (spot for 5 to 6 days before AND after full flow, which is also only 1 to 2 days). My hb had to freeze sperms before his clinical study started. So no fresh sperms. Hence I was mentally prepared to have to go thru a few cycles. So really, when my beta was out, it felt like I struck toto.
I have mild and sharp cramps once to twice a day, lasting for a few seconds. Was worried but I guess the hospital also can do nothing for me, since I'm not spotting. I started getting up at night to urinate also but not often la, mostly just once. Boobs are slightly swollen at times but not really sore. My other more obvious symptom is this clear white discharge but I'm not sure if it was becos of the suppositories...
My discharge became yellowish past couple of days, another worry sigh. But I used to have it from time to time when I'm too heaty or stressed before preggie. Will monitor and let the doc know if it doesn't get better with drinking more water.
Hope this thread can be a good support for you! If you need some advice, perhaps you can drop by the IVF/ICSI Support thread in Matters of the Heart. There are a couple of preggies in the advanced stages of their pregnancies who have been very helpful in dishing out advice and support!
Wish you a safe and speedy delivery when the time comes .
Also Wish ur Husband speedy recovery .

Hi.. Have u seen a doctor abt it? Does ur spotting comes with cramping?
Hi! Haven't seen the doctor, my appt is on 14/9 for scan. No cramp, just spotting. I read a lot online seems very normal for ivf baby. Just worried haha! Lost to Wat to do. Later if I go a&e they can't diagnose why Previously 2ww I'm down with fever , vomit , dehydration till enter a&e just drip was given.

14/9 is too long to wait. Trust ur body. If u think somethg is wrong u shd go n see doc. Meantime eat healthy. Plenty green leafy veg and fruits. Drink plenty of water. Rest!
Went to a&e in the morning cos I'm having red blood which look like menses. They can only check HCG Lvl is good, but till now, I'm still bleeding
Ask for progesterone support jab.
The doctor didn't give me that
