Not sure. All i know is that high estrogen levels do relate with higher no. of follicles so thats good in a way but the higher the estrogen, the higher chance to get ohss also which is not good. Guess need to strike a balance between the two.

Jia you Wanbaby! I will be doing my 2nd fresh also Aug/Sept. Maybe we will become cycle buddies...

For me, I started with 225 and then gradually decreased. My estrogen levels were super high. During last scan, it was 20k!

Mine's quite high but i learnt to take those numbers with a pinch of salt after my first failed ivf. Just remain positive and do your best... eat more protein like egg whites! You just need 1 good embryo, think quality not quantity.

Hi Happynods, the baseline Antral Follicle Count doesn't really matter according to Prof Wong. I had 3 on each side for mine and I was worried then as it did sounded little. However, as you inject yourself, the follicles will grow. I ended up with 16 follicles at the last scan before ER. So...

Babes, looking forward to hearing good news here! and to spread baby dust to us!!!

Good luck Ladies!

Thanks Dreamscometrue!

By the way, does anyone know when will our period come after a failed IVF? I understand that the upcoming period is usually heavy with bad cramps and I wanna pre-empt it...

Thanks Jeu. Am under Prof too but my first cycle Prof was away the whole of May. Stimulation monitoring was done by Dr Chew. Prof came back in time to do my ET and ER. I have no regrets with Prof. He gave me a lot of confidence during ER and ET and I had almost no immediate side effects...

Yes, we shall not give up. Ylgoh, Good luck! you are in good hands of prof... he will do wonders! Like you said, we just need 1 good embryo ... =)

Thanks for encouragement! I was on short protocol and retrieved 10 eggs out of 18 follicles but only 3 fertilised and 2 transferred. The 3rd didnt make it. Prof Wong says most likely bad egg quality thats why fertilisation rates was below average. He was expecting 5. I am taking CoQ10 already...

Yes, my first cycle. due to bad egg quality, non frozen. so have to start fresh again....

Yes, I will have to persevere. Just have to make it through these few days of mourning ... Thanks for the thoughts and best wishes too! Let's do it together!

Thks Missy.too. I have been taking all sorts of supplements including folic acid, chicken essence, immunocal, acupuncture. Also TCM but stopped once i started ivf. Sigh.... it just feels so sad and heartbreaking when you think you have done all you can but yet it is still not enough...

haha I totally understand what you mean. Yesterday after my negative blood test, I indulged myself with a cup of nesspresso, ice cream and chips in the midst of tears pouring off my face .... I haven't have these for monthsssss.....

Thanks Karen. Yes, I have been going to TCM since last year. I even signed up for the IVF accupunture package with Thomson TCM At NUH. I have stopped all cold food, cold drinks, coffee for almost 2 years. It is quite depressing when you thought you have done everything you can but still it is...

Hello all, new to this chat group. I started my first fresh cycle in May-June. Unfortunately, just got my official negative blood test for Ivf #1. =( Going to wait to see doc next week for review and probably start Ivf #2 in Sept. Any ideas on how to improve egg quality? My fertilization rates...

Just got my official negative blood test for Ivf #1. =( Going to wait to see doc next week and probably start Ivf #2 in Sept. Any ideas on how to improve egg quality? My fertilization rates were well below average. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
