Hi A French, mine's because of the miscarriage. While the term is 'spontaneous miscarriage', it's not really so 'spontaneously' ending. I've read online that some bleed for 2 months before all the pregnancy tissues get expelled from the body... 2 mths! omg. I only hope I don't break the...

Hi Chris, thks for the note. Yah, I also have friends who have kids already, and still remain skinny. I guess it's prob the body fat content, and not so much the outward look that matters. My body fat content is lower than what a normal woman shd have. Let's hope my doc replies soon. I'm...

Hi all. I've been MIA for a while now, though am still reading your posts every couple of days. I'd been bleeding for 40 days straight since late April and thought the end was THE END.. But alas, after 4 days of reprise, here i am bleeding AGAIN. Super xians. Just called SGH and Dr Yong's not...

Mayhui, with an experienced doc who finds the best spot to place the embryo, and care during ur 2ww, ivf is a viable option. Bio chemical pregnancy happens for too many reasons and ivf doesn't necessarily increases the chances of it happening. Just my personal view. My bio chem pregnancy was not...

Just burst into tears when telling dh abt the qns I was asking my doc on what might have caused the ectopic. And all he could muster was 'not all things have a reason. Unless u r god'. Super uncalled for. I was so pissed. Here I am dealing with a loss of a life and that's what I get. Finally...

Magical, u probably moved the needle while it's still in u, thus the bruise. Or u could have hit right into a small blood vessel. No cause of worry, just avoid that area for next few days and don't rub it. It's rather tender now.

Hi Michelle, sorry for the misunderstanding. Come to think of it, after going through 2 IVFs, it's not as daunting as I originally thought it might be. Now that I've a long way to wait for my first medicated FET, seems like the preparation is much more longer and troublesome than a fresh cycle...

BabyDusty, I didn't take Methotrexate jab. HCG wasn't high at 246 last Thurs so doc think it's not necessary, and no point going throught that radiation if not required. Dr Yong finally called me just now & told me my HCG is now at 155. Dropping but still not low enough. No active treatment...

Hazelsarah, 38 eggs!!! That's like the highest no. I've heard of ever! Even with me E2 T 24000ish, I 'only' had 19 and I thought that was crazy already! Treat ur ohss symptoms carefully now and watch for fluid retention. That can really turn fatal if u ignore the signs as if the fluid enters...

So strange. Total silence from the clinic. Was so busy at work that I totally forgot to follow up. Will have to call them tmr. Nashreen, SGH CARE (Centre for Assisted Reproduction) is also Govt co-funding scheme.

Going for my hcg-beta now. And for once, I hope it's 0. '_'

Babydusty, hugs hugs. I went thru the same shock of hearing i got ectopic just last Thur, after being told one week before that of my bfp from our own natural cycle. It's all still fresh in the mind, yet seem so unreal and like a long past bad dream. I can't think of a better phrase than...

Dollygal, ur doc seems more positive on recovery while mine is more conservative. Do see a tcm. My galfren did after her d&c & she did recover quite well. The med could be very 'bu' 補 so if you do see breakouts after taking d tcm med, let ur tcm doc know and he/she can adjust the...

Before my last ivf cycle, I took goji berry, red dates & dried longan brew everyday. Result: improvement of antral follicle count from 8 in the first cycle to 15 in the second. Ladies, you might want to try. I'm still drinking it faithfully now. It promotes blood circulation.

Hi hazelsarah, glad u have reconsidered carefully. The ectopic resulted fr our own try after the failed ivf. I was on 450iu menopur & 10iu saizen during that ivf cycle which saw the ohss symptoms. Good luck on ur ER tmr! Enjoy your jab-free day today!
