My BT is next tues.. still thinking if I should just do the test at home first. Are you intending to test first prior to BT?
Yes, bcos I don’t think i can help myself hahah.
You have done really well for the wait. Tuesday is almost here!
My BT is only on 15 June
 
Congrats!! So happy for you..

I'm in Day7 of my 2ww now.. I don't hv any symptoms at all. Can you share your experience for your 2ww? Any symptoms or feeling or changes to your body?
For me, from the 3rd day after ET, I have light cramp on and off for the next 6 days. I remember on the 6th day, the cramp was more intense.. Then after that no cramp already.

From the 5th day after ET, I suddenly had sore throat just like that.. No idea why but they do say that woman immune will go low during this time to allow implantation not getting rejected..

I got a bfp.
 
We are 2 ww buddies :)
I have absolutely no symptoms as well and I’m 8dp2dt.
Hey 2ww buddy =) What's 8dp2dt??

Hi, I am 40 this year. So far have done 2 IVF, both BFN. I have one fibroid 4.35cm, doctor suggest to remove it as it seem pressing my cavity a little bit. Dr told me after removing it, I have to wait for 6 months for my next IVF. Should I remove my fibroid or just go straight to another IVF?
I have the same thing ... decided not to.... in any op or surgery there’s always tusk... I’d rather do when I’m not going to be affected if it’s any complications
 
I am 5 weeks pregnant now, did the g sac and fetal pole scan yesterday. Doc put me on progynova, crinone and daily progesterone jabs for the whole first trimester. Anyone on the same protocol? I am with a private clinic, wondering if the kk/nuh one is different?

Do you see a GP for the sore throat? On any medication?

Thanks and sorry to hear about ur mc for the 1st ivf.

I read alot from forum during 2ww. Alot of contradiction in different experiences during the 2ww. Some woman bpf can have no symptoms.. Some bpf with symptoms similar like me.. So it really varies... It's hard to ignore the symptoms and not think about it.

Is yours a fresh or fet? If fresh, I suggest you don't test at home because you had the hcg injection and will mess up your test result..

Thanks mimosamee, yes both times fresh.... first time I only had 3 retrieved and 2 fertilized.... they put in 2 at 2day....
this time thankfully we got 6, 5 fertilized and in the end got 3 blastocyst... used one and 2 frozen....

I’m so nervous.. this time we told the family, so so there’s kinda pressure... I took a hpt before reading this (ooops) but it was negative..... anyways still hoping and praying everyday......

Thank you....: and how about yourself?

Hey hey, my ET was on the 4th.
Beta on the 18th too.

The wait seems forever huh.
Going crazy with the symptoms spotting.
Since ytd, my boobs is getting less and less sore which worries me.

And i started to have some cramps like AF is coming.
Its exactly like my pre AF symptoms.

Trying not to get my hopes too high.
But its so difficult. My mind is all over the place.

Kkh too.

But with dr jessie.
Only on folic and crinone gel.
Nothing else because I dont want to afect anything at the moment.

No spotting. Just tugs and pulls occasionally as well.
And ytd evening, felt cramps on my right.

I think we are both on edges.
And haha, guess what, I went on to pee on the stick ytd and today. Sad to say, only one line. And i hallucinated that there is a fainty red line. Have to tell myself to wake up! And stop dreaming.

Crazy me.

My first time was fresh.. Only 2 fertilized. Put in 1 and freeze 1 but result was bfn.

This time was fet. Still 2 fertilized, but this time round the embryo were much better quality than the 1st round.. Probably thanks to the coq10 which the nurse ask me to take.. Put in 2 and bfp with singleton...

it’s only 4dp5dt for you.. maybe still too early to test? I was reading articles online previously and the posts were saying hcg starts to enter the blood after day6 post 5days trsf.

Hi, I had exactly the same symptoms as you. BT 500+ , spotting and full bleeding and while I was toileting the big clot came off. Did you do any U/S prior the heavy bleeding ? I’m with Dr Sadhana too.

Ya I did... when was spotting I panicked so we went to KK 24hr and they did the trans vag scan to see if my cervix opened
Subsequently the bleeding gradually got more, not saying it’s the cause , but yea I did go for scans....

Hi Love,

Im new here and TTC. I decided to go for IVF and have started the early step procedure. I've already checked HSG and blood test. My tubes are ok. Can I know, after this, what is the next step? I'm doing it at KKH. And also, I heard that I need to go for counselling for IVF. Is it compulsory? Is there any fee needed to attend the talk?

Hi dear,

Thank you for your reply.

Do you know if it’s only at KKH that we need to attend the talk? Because I heard that at NUH, it is not compulsory to attend the talk..

So how was the talk? Have you attend it already?

I am with KKH and its compulsory. I am not sure of NUH but honestly for me, the talk was really unnecassary. :)

Nuh was not compulsory as far as I rem 2 years back for my 1st ivf.. I think I paid like almost $100.. It was like a 1 doc to 1 couple kind of meet up.

My 2nd ivf.. They totally exclude for me.. Lol.. Say I no need.

After much discussion, me and husband decided to do at NUH. Next week, we have appointment at KKH and will tell them to transfer me to NUH..

Anyone know if there will be any charges for transferring records to another hospital?

Personally, I’d still recommend KK, firstly they’re specialised.... I went to Mt E, Mt A and Thompson, but even they said if there’s any complications they’d still refer back to KKH.... I’ve read KK has horrible staff, insensitive etc but I must say all the times I’ve been there and even when I was warded, the care and concern provided was amazing. Waiting time, ofcourse can’t be compared to private hosps/clinics (even though we’re private at KKH) but just have to work around it I Guess.... just my 2 cents.... ultimately it’s the doc you need to be comfortable with first... they need to make u and DH feel good, confident and positive... then the rest you’d kinda adapt... either way... all the best to you on your journey!! Baby dust your way... and may everything go smoothly for you and your DH my dear!

Hi all, I just had my day 5 egg transfer on Monday, and been resting since then. I took a walk around my neighbourhood this evening and started feeling dizzy after an hour. I'm not sure what to expect during the 2ww. My bt is on 1st July at KKH.

Please share with me your experiences! How did you guys survive this ever so long 2ww?
