Have you done any test on your immunity? Such as on natural killer cells, whether you have blood clotting issues tt prevents implantation? After i failed my first ivf i went for a whole lots of test and unfortunately i found out tt i have elevated killer cells and antiphospholipid syndrome. So gotta check myself in with a rheumatologist to work hand in hand w my fertility doctor. Am currently almost 12 weeks pregnant now after afew miscarriage n failed transfer! Do check w ur doctor?

Hopefully! TBH I can’t differentiate cramps/ contractions and constipation pains....

so long as your cramps are not extremely painful to the extent of breaking out into cold sweat and not limited to only one side of your tummy and spotting, you are safe. If experienced the above, it could be ectopic.

Has anyone managed to conceive when hubby have been diagnosed with Nonobstructive Azoospermia (zero sperm in semen analysis)?

I have read that supplementing with co-enzymeQ10 and also Zinc can help with testicular production of sperms, worth giving it a try. Maybe can also consider fertilAid supplements for men (must be taken at least 3 months to see effect)
 
For those who have used Utrogestan, does a lot of (leftover) white milky discharge flow out? I’m wondering if I didnt insert deep enough? I pushed them in as far as my finger allows... and if so much comes back out, am I absorbing enough?

Did 1 iui and succeeded under Prof SC Ng. You are able to find him at either of the following clinics.
1. O & G partners clinic for women at Gleneagles or
2. Sincere Medical specialist centre for women at Novena

Anyone did or doing endo scratch? Do you know the cost? Does Prof Wong do/support this procedure?
Click to expand...

Hi Honeypokey, its in the range of about within 100 if i recall correctly.. its a simple procedure done at his clinic. I would say even though Prof might not feel the evidence for endo scratch is strong, but he is willing to do it for you if u ask him, esp for recurrent implantation failures.

Good luck!

Can i know how is the journey like etc.painful?? I heard some say it's not n some claimed it's painful..Btw any success stories after 1st IVF try?? Appreciate the advice and baby dust to all!!

Some say TCM, some say Swimming in cold water, take cold shower, wear loose underwear, drink cold water..

If doing ICSI, then I feel as Long as they can find sperms with normal motility and morphology then should be fine

Hi Laalaa,

Dont worry too much about the pain and needles, the nurses will do a good job going through it with you, and quite frankly the injections are usually not too painful, a little like an ant bite or less :) you will get the hang of it pretty fast. If tubal ligation is the only reason for infertility then the success rate is high :) good luck!
 
can gonal f be injected at a 45 degree ? i was told by nurse cetrotide can be done this way so wondering about gonal f. because these few days i find that it stings when i try to inject gonal f 90deg.

Hey jayjayqueenie, yes both 45 and 90 degree injections are ok. The idea is that the medication has to be inserted into the subcutaneous layer, and at 45-90 degrees, the needle would deliver the medication into the right space :)
 
my er is estimated to be on this friday.
after that i have thyroid appointment on 02 Aug.
will i be well enough to go for that appointment ? anyone still feel sore a week after er ?
 
jayjayqueenie said:
my estimated 6 on each side.
my thyroid appointment was booked way in advance whereas er is based on scanning.
both are fertility related though.

Hey dear you definitely will be able to attend the thyroid appointment in a week’s time! Will u be doing a fresh transfer? The thyroid appointment will be important to make sure your TSH level is under good control as well to increase your chances so dont miss it!

Good luck for your ER!
