IVF/ICSI Support Group

Dear all,

I am thinking to give a try on my 1 n only frozen embryo but when I went for my yearly check up last ww with my usual gyne, he told me he found a cyst of 3cm in womb (I hv endometriosis)

Was wondering did any1 done FET still with cyst or must surgery 1st to remove den can go ahead w try for FET? As am concern abt the downtime after surgery n am already 40

Thanks in advance for all advices and answers
I have a cyst in my right ovary and going to do FET soon. last visit with thh I specifically asked him if its ok, and he said yes, ok. no surgery needed.
however, I do hv my doubts cause last 2 fresh attempts with the cyst was BFN.

Thanks for replying... N jiayou for ur coming FET.

May I know do u wait for a while be4 the FET? My Dr is THH too but his schedule is always very full.....

As I search in the forum and notice the duration of FET process depends on naturally or medically FET... Does it mean if our menstruation cycle is accurate of every month we can choose to do it naturally or still depends on Dr decision?

Hi I'm also seeing Dr THH. He chose what he thinks it's suitable. I did once fet medicated however it was bpn. Currently doing natural. But again you can always discuss with him..
 
Hi ladies... i have done 4 fet with good quality blastocyst but no implantation occurred. My ivf doctor is suspecting i have immune problems. I would like to do more tests on that. May i know if prof Choolani/Sheila's clinic in nuh cater for ivf failure patients or is it just for recurrent miscarriage cases?

what @niece has commented is what I gathered too. sometimes thh forget to discuss if FET is natural or medicated. it depends on your fertility issue and ovulation. if you hv no issues ovulating, then can choose to do natural or medicated. dr makes decision cause have to prescribe medication but u still can put in your opinion. I think I recall someone had asked to be medicated even though dr chose natural cycle.

maybe cause I see him for so many years, I find that he seldom explains things unless I ask. otherwise he expect me to have done my "homework" and made my decisions before seeing him. so my timing to do new cycles are always up to me. he only intervene to ask me to rest longer, never shorter... LOL. but in those times, I did need the extra time.
 
My 2-week wait now. 7dp5dt. Wiped and got some blood but should be past implantation already. And cramping. Not good news right ?

The last round I transferred my boy, I bled but not such obvious cramping.

My helper left on short notice as I was preparing for my frozen cycle. So other than transfer day and next day, I’ve been carrying my toddler. Not sure if it’s cause of the heavy weight.

Anyone thinks I should call kkh? Can I POAS now? Will it be accurate?

Maybe wait another 1-2 days?

Yes I think at 7DP5DT it’s ok to start testing. I read on forums that some women see a positive on 5DP5DT. Just wanted to ask if you feel any symptoms so far? And with your first child ? Maybe you can compare because it’s the same body.. but then again they say every pregnancy is different. So it’s just so mind boggling sometimes. I’m also in my tww now.. and feeling really annoyed with myself symptom watching for everything.

I can’t recall most of it but I think it felt close to having your menses but mild. This time I feel it very significantly. But before my transfer, I’ve already felt progynova had a different effect on me. I’m not sure if it has to do with age as the last time was 2 years ago. Was hoping to seek some sort of clarity here as I recall there are other 2nd child or 3rd child transfers.

From what I’ve experienced and what I’ve read about others, the symptoms differ from person to person. Or you can say there are no symptoms because I didn’t “feel” pregnant. I read that a lot of what we “feel” are actually side effects of the crinone or hormone pills we’ve been taking.

We’ll know in due time I guess.hugs.

I am feeling more this round as well. My first round was 4 years ago.
 
Hi, im a sahm and im in my 2ww now. 8dp5dt, i have the urge to POAS but I keep holding back the idea cuz im so afraid of the result. I feel so normal now which im so scared. For my previous pregnancy i rmb i had hot flushes and constantly running to toilet. Im so worried.
 
Hi ladies i have just started my fresh cycle again and kept having problem with centrotide jab . First I have problem getting rid of the air bubbles and secondly I spill some as a result of 1) trying to rid the bubbles and 2) leakage when drawing out from the bottle.

Anyone experiences these? Getting abit stressed with the numerous "unsuccessful" attempts. Any idea what happen if we inject with air bubbles? Thanks !

air bubbles make the jab location more painful as the air injected tries to "release" from your body. slight spillage is ok.
you can consider to go to the hospital or GP to ask them to help you inject. if not convenient, try to practice with an empty syringe and water. that's how the nurses teach.
 
Hi ladies, would like to ask does the follicles size matters for natural thaw cycle? Thank you
lining is more important although for FET they will still check follicle growth cause they need to monitor your ovulation timing.
if your follicle size is large, ovulation will happen soon but if your lining is poor, then it needs to catch up.

The problem is the lining is OK but not the follicle size. Had my scan 2 days ago and follicle remains the same. Worried that if go ahead for transfer, will the outdone be affected.

i think there probably is still time to wait for the follicle although it is not necessary that the follicle is ready cause your embryo is transferred, not natural conception. which day of your cycle? when is your next scan?

Today is day 18. Told to return tml for scan as well as blood test. Dr told me likely this cycle got to be cancelled. Will see how it is tml.

You should push the air bubbles out of the syringe before injection.

If the bubbles arent a lot it's ok not to get rid of it..I've asked nurse before and she says it's ok

I tried very hard n resulted in med spilling.. today while jabbing I saw a big bubble in the syringe. So I took it out n tried to tap the bubble away. And then I syringe again . Sigh i can't seem to get rid of the bubbles well

Try to use two fingers, thumb and index finger to slowly push it out instead of just using thumb. You will have more control of that. Or else see if ur husband can help

hugs. can only wait and see. is this the first time you are doing natural FET? maybe medicated FET is easier for you then.

This is my 3rd fet. 1st was natural with letrozole - successful. 2nd fet was medicated done by another Dr cos 1st Dr left n was not successful hence 2nd Dr suggested natural thaw without any meds. Went for blood test today again. Got to be cancelled cos no ovulation.

Hi Niece, sorry that this cycle has to be cancelled. Hoping that the next round will be a success for you. Was the doctor intending to transfer a day 3 or day 5 embryo?

I went to prof choolani before for my 1st natural miscarriage as well as to seek 2nd opinion for my then twjce failed ivf..he said he specialised more on multiple miscarriages...

Hi havingfaithh,
I will be doing a day 5 embryo (blastocyst).
Are u cycling now? Good luck..
 
Hi ladies, those with OHSS, how much wait do you managed to transfer FET ? I heard is at least 6 weeks later.
I was told to wait for at least 2 cycle of menses before starting. However it depends on ur Dr n ur severity of ur ohss
 
I did another fresh. And yes. Maybe because I need to take care of my toddler and haven’t been getting enough sleep at night since she was born. I feel so exhausted and hating all the jabs and medicines. But I am blessed to have a successful cycle.

Congrats! Yes I totally understand. Hope I’m blessed too.
