Aug 17 Ivf cycle


What ur AMH? I also low reserve but i go through one round of fresh only

I can't remember and I was pretty upset with the test results that I probably chucked it somewhere hoping to forget about it. Hahaa anyway I remember the gynae telling me that my reserve is like that of a 40 year old even though I'm only in my 30s. Did u get a positive results with one round of fresh?

No mine is negative. I still left one frozen embryo

So u gonna go for another round? I feel like this is completely out of my control and there's nothing else I can do other than go through the process and hope for the best. Any suggestion if I should take taking any supplements or reduce my caffeine intake? I do love my coffee. :(

Not at this moment for second round. Going to Tcm for both of us first and try natural. Who know right.
I'm taking dhea and ubiquinol for low AMH, see if got any impact a not. Other than that, folic acid, vitamin C. Meanwhile just try natural, who knows.
Now I dun drink ☕️, just drink plain water, only drink bb tea while period is here , other than that just relax and hope for the best.

Actually for low AMH like us, our bet is through natural cos our egg quality is not that good for low AMH. I strike naturally for my first child, now trying naturally for second child, if not will be going back ivf next year.

You can try to replace other stuff wif coffee see if it work a not.

Maybe I should start taking some supplements too. And start reduce my coffee intake. All the best to us! Some girls have it so easy but I guess life is not perfect and we should count the blessings we have.

I am coffee lover too but no intention to cut down until i pregnant successfully. Now i taking multivitamins every morning and 2 to 3 time 滴鸡精 weekly to build my health & body, getting ready for my medicated FET cycle during mid Oct
 
Yup, mild OHSS for now. But was told it would be a lot worst after ER thus was advised to do FET at a later date.

Thanks! Im hoping to get it over ASAP! Really feeling uncomfortable these few days.
I also told to stop my fresh cycle due to OHSS. My stomach bloated till very big, so is risky for embryo transfer. After ER, stomach bloated & cramp for first 3 days. But luckily take alot of 100plus, ensure & salty chips, feel much better and recover on 5th day. Can see my tummy flat again, haa. When u going for ur frozen cycle?
 
Hi All,

need some advice. After i start IVF cycle, my menses these few months start to be a bit weird. Its like usually my cycle only heavy flow on 1-3rd day then 4-6 day will be jus brownish. But after starting IVF, i realised from 4 or 5 day suddenly will red blood again. Today already my 8th day but still bleeding when my menses supposed to start to stop on 6th day. Just wondering anyone experience this after IVF? Could it be the lining wall and is it common? I also experience cramp pain when peeing. Thanks
Did you check with your ivf specialist? Is it because of the hormones jab during the ivf cycle and your body hormones start to haywire?

I have stopped my coffee since my embyro transfer. TMC passed a piece of paper with all the dos and donts after tge embyro transfer and 1 of it is to reduce caffine. And because of this i have constipation on my 3d2dpt and asked for stool softener from my doc. Sorry if i am too explicit. Had a terrible day that day doc told me take 1 dose of the softener each but it doesn't help so i took another dose and still it dont. I was feeling terrible. I whatsapp the clinic as i am too tired to talk after the pushing. They advice me to take 3 dose a day and i did the final try. Finally blockage cleared.
Hopefully my embies are not squeezed out by me. Fingers crossed.

Took Prenatals
Durian a few days before and after ET
Longan red date tea
Brazil nuts
Walnuts
Raisins
Figs
Kiwi
No cold water
No tea/coffee

Reserve by Jeunesse once a day
1 tsp chlorophyll in water daily

Its better to tell your doc what you are taking and seek for their advice.
An old saying chinese n western medications cannot be taken together.
 
Can share where do u go for massage? is it womb massage?

the lady come over to my house. can pm me if u want her contact.

Typo. I stop cold water. But when bathing try not to bathe in too warm water.
 
Sorry to hear abt that...
Cheer up and don't ever give up...



Well, my blood test went smoothly and happy to know that I'm 3wks pregnant...
Congrats!!!! take good care of urself! I can recommend u a good CL from Msia if u need. Engaged her for after I delivered my daughter (from ivf too). Intro by my SIL. Our circle of friends all engaged her with good reviews.

Thanks JT298...Well, today back to work...Just need to relax myself and thank god, most of my colleagues understand (but didn't know that i'm going thru' ivf)...
Wah...From Msia??She can come over to Spore?? I'll PM u for her number then...
 
Went for my beta blood test today... BFN. So disappointed.
Sorry to hear that. We are both in the same boat. I tried clear blue yesterday night n this morning both gave me the same negative heart breaking results. The last ivf only lasted 11 days post transfer and my period came n i took my home pregnancy test n is negative n went to take beta confirmed negative. This time round till 14 days post transfer still no period yet n i thought it might be a good outlook since first time i only have 1 poor quality embryo while now 3 good quality ones and finally decided to do the home test but still that single line huanted me!!! No one else except those who are like us knows what we are going through and understand how we feel. So i totally knows you. I know no words can better console you but still i hope we will get better. My beta is tomorrow hopefully miracles happen like what my husband consoles me.
 
Yep me! Just did my first scan. How are you coping with the jabs?
so far still ok...first one was orangtuluan jab for 6 days and was nervous i got hubby to do. now on puregon pen and that i can do myself. actually it's not that bad once the needle go in but i still get nervous even after so many days haha
 
Hey ladies, just wondering when is your scheduled blood test for a 5 day transfer frozen embryo? Is it still 14 days later? Or some of you will attempt to test at home before the blood test? It is a medicated FET, not natural.
 
Hi,
I also told to stop my fresh cycle due to OHSS. My stomach bloated till very big, so is risky for embryo transfer. After ER, stomach bloated & cramp for first 3 days. But luckily take alot of 100plus, ensure & salty chips, feel much better and recover on 5th day. Can see my tummy flat again, haa. When u going for ur frozen cycle?

Hi, I retrieved 34 eggs last sat and started showing ohss symptoms on tues onwards. Despite forcing myself to drink a lot of water, my condition worsened and was hospitalised on thurs and discharged today. I was on iv drip for 1 day till last morning. Am discharged now but still bloated and peeing a lot more. Will that help get rid of the excess fluid that had accumulated in the ovaries and womb? Am very worried. Pls advise. Thank you.

Hi babylover23, what did your doctor advise u? For me, i keep taking high protein food and some salty snacks. I have a friend went for protein jab because her OHSS is quite bad. Maybe u can try taking more protein like chicken essense, egg white, ensure & etc. Hope u recover soon and have a good rest!

Hi Ching, thanks for replying. I had a lot of complications including blood clot blocking urethra as the needle likely poked a blood vessel on the bladder when it passed through it to the ovaries. So I had bloody urine and couldn't pee and they attached a catheter and a urine bag on me from last sat evening to tues morning. So those initial liquid I drank was automatically drained into the catheter to clear off the blood clot. By mon, I lost all appetite and also couldn't stomach much water from tues afternoon which led to the dehydration that landed me in hospital 2nd time in 2 weeks. The doc said that the iv drip was to pump fluid into my blood and not let it accumulate in the ovaries. Yesterday, the Nurses started monitoring the volume of my urine after they stopped the iv drip. As I am peeing normally and my urine Colour was getting clearer, I was discharged as the doc said the symptoms are reversing themselves but my stomach is still bloated. On the bright side, I can finally eat after almost 5 days of not eating...

You must be having a hard time these few weeks. Now slowly bring back ur appetite and eat things that u like. Remember dont carry heavy things and over exert urself. Jia You girl!!! When you gg for ur frozen cycle?
 
Hi Irene..My ET was a smooth one thou' my bladder is not really full..heehee!
My procedure is called Day 5 Blastocyst..
After the ER, Dr. did mention she took 11 follicles...And today, Dr. told me there are 9 good embryos & will monitor on the outcome for the next 1-2days for it before they freeze it..
And gd luck & rest assure everything gonna b just fine..Don't forget to drink lots & lots of plain water...
Hi Adeq, my bladder was not really full. As the nurse told me there may be abit of delay. So in the end go pee, after 10mins, she told me the nurses will expedite, make me gallop the water like what. The nurse help me scan, she said my bladder not very full. But she said no worries, later may full. Before the doc reached, she scanned again. She said quite full. Mine is a blastcyst transfer, any symptoms for ur 2ww? I do not feel anything but at times will feel abit cramped.
