    @Dreamscometrue, I realized I left out the "c" as in "mcg" in my previous msg. So I meant min. 400mcg.

    Aiyo sorry, just realized I left out the "c", so I meant min 400mcg, ie 4mg. So 5mg is good enough.

    I was taking it as part of the prenatal supplement. I was initially taking Blackmore's Conceive Well Gold then switched to Rainbow Light One-a-Day prenatal. Both already included adequate folic acid so Dr said no need to take additional separately.

    Cool sis. I actually take 2 whole eggs daily then the rest only egg whites. Besides egg whites, avocado is one food you can include daily & can start adding a few walnuts & 1-2 Brazil nuts daily (good nutrients for implantation). These can continue into your 2ww later. Re. LGRD tea. Are u...

    @h0peful, I forgot to mention that for fresh cycle, no need to test OPK as you will be monitored by doc and trigger for egg retrieval sort of controlled timing of ovulation. The day of egg retrieval will be considered day 0 of transfer (same as day 0 of ovulation as in natural cycle).

    Don't worry too much. U still have some time before starting the cycle. You can start thinking about questions u have & any doubts, then make sure you ask doc or nurse in your next visit. When you start your first scan, you hv the chance to consult doc and when u collect the meds, you have the...

    Hi Claire. At TFC they will do ICSI as a default as it yields better results. They will only do IVF if the number of mature eggs retrieved is very high and the husband's sperms are healthy, and even so, they will discuss with the patient to set a side a certain number for IVF and the rest ICSI.

    Depending on your response, short protocol stim jabs usually 10-12days before last jab, i.e. the trigger jab to mature the eggs for egg retrieval 36 hrs after last jab. Usually doc expects at least 2 if not most of the follicles to grow to at least 18mm before last jab. Jia you!

    Dear sis, worrying now won't help anything and causes stress which is no good for you. Agree with Towkayneo that the results will not change the frozen embryos so you can consider going ahead with the FET. At least you don't waste one cycle's time. Moreover doc already confirmed no issue with...

    No worries :) CD10 means cycle day 10 where day 1 is first day of AF (Aunt Flow meaning menses). The length/ duration of AF itself actually is not the factor for deciding if med or natural. It is more of regularity of total cycle days & ovulation. AF 3 days is ok as women can hv AF of 2-7days...
