I drank Raspberry Tea Leaf from Yogi too..but only before ER.. Not sure if it can be consume after ET? Will it help?

It is best to stop the raspberry tea after embryo transfer as raspberry tea leaf can cause contraction, you can drink before the embryo transfer. That is why it is recommended for preggy to drink in the last trimester or before ovulation (to build up lining).

 

[Linglong8191]

Hi all, if hubby is sick (eg. Flu or fever) will the ivf be cancel or delay?

Best is to call the hospital to Check with them , maybe they can give him antibiotics. What worry is the sperm quality will deteriorate/compromise when guys are sick.

When i went for IUI ,i only had to inject myself once before the day they insert sperm... As for IVF... A diff sets of injections before egg retrieval.. For about 2 weeks..

Depends you doing iui or so-iui. In kkh, they only does so-iui which jab like ivf just lower dose similar meds. Jab for appx 8-15 days till yr egg matured size. Then they insert the sperm in. Cost appx 1.5-2k+ depends how much dose. I jav for 19 days appx cost me appx 2.5k (can fully claim medisave). IVF i jab appx 10 days, cost me 11.5k (6.3k grant, medisave capped at 6k for 1st timer, balance if any cash).

Hi Ladies...

Nice to meet you all here!
My IVF has just started with SGH, today is Day 3 (on Stimulation Jab)...

Likely to have my ET 12-15/1...
First timer also like many of you here...

Me and my DH decided to go for IVF after trying normal for 6-7 months & reaching age 38 this year, moreover his sperms count is low as well.

I look forward to receive/give support & advice via this forum...

This week I started TCM (2x a week) with Accupuncture & some daily Chinese medicine (hoping that will help to Tiao my body for ET)

Start drinking Red Dates today after hearing advice from some of you here

Let's pray hard for the success for all of us who just want to start a family of our own. I believed we can do it!

Supposedly to be on ivf this month but looking at my bbt, i have yet to ovulate and likely to miss this round since there is blackout period.

I wonder if i can take meds to stimulate the menstruation to come earlier.

Need to take the meds 1 weeks and the menses will come few days later. You can call KKHIVF to ask.
Btw when is the blockout dates?

Either 25 or 26 jan till mid feb i tink.
For cny preparation

 

[Lecia]

Will the meds affect the chances of ivf?

Im thinking if i should induce or just naturally let it come.

 

[Linglong8191]

If induce, can eat pineapple. It worked for me.
