    Hello everyone! It's been a while since I log on to the forum. Had a failed IVF ( all 4 oocytes failed to fertilise - disintegrated upon ICSI) in Oct last year. Wanted to do IVF in Feb 2020 but CoVid happened. In Mar, got pregnant naturally for the first time in 38 years! Unfortunately resulted...

    I'm so so sorry my dear, my heart goes out to you. Our journeys are not easy and those closed to us will never understand as getting pregnant comes easily for them. May I ask how old are you? Also, have you been tracking your ovulation, either medically or OPK? Do you use an app like Flo to...

    I hope you are taking supplements such as Myo-insitol, CoQ10, Dhea as these are thought to improve egg quality. Take for at least 3 months. Also folic acid, Vit D and Vit C of course. Are you tracking your ovulation? OPK and fertility apps like Flo really helps. Do not be discouraged, many here...

    Hi @iibears How are you doing now? Have you sorted out the thyroid issue? I believe you cannot proceed with IVF because thyroid is a hormonal issue and since you will be injecting other hormones into your body during the IVF treatment, it may hinder results. Hope everything is sorted now and you...

    Sorry I mean start taking them at least 3 months before. You can't change the quality but you can certainly try to improve them, even for a bit. I wholly believe in this! Good private IVF clinics actually advise this, KKH offer nothing, I had to do my own research.

    Trying to conceive 2020

    Yes I ovulated on Day 12 and started the hormonal injections on Day 21 onwards so I'm sure I got pregnant before. Up to today because we waited so long, and I have never been pregnant, it's like each day I'm holding my breath in case I lose this tiny embryo.. They say week 8 and week 12 (1st...

    Trying to conceive 2020

    Hi Germaine, guess this is a late reply but I want to share my experience. For the past year, I have had my share of numerous supplements. I read somewhere that the immature eggs in your follicles actually take about 7 months to fully mature. The eggs that you are ovulating this month are...

    Actually we were worried at first because upon researching online, Gonapeptyl is not recommended if there is suspected or known pregnancy. However when we brought it up to the doctor, she assured us that it is 0.1mg and thus will not harm fertilisation. The hormonal med is used to prevent...

    Trying to conceive 2020

    Good morning everyone! Just wanted to share a little background on my ttc journey. I'm 38yo this year, married for almost 3 years (in July!). Never been pregnant in my entire life (that I know of). Never got to try a pregnancy test kit. In 2018, we decided to go for fertility checks and...

    Trying to conceive 2020

    Hi dear, cramps can be a good sign! I understand your fears, and it's easier to say try to take it easy, it's very very hard to not worry. I would also wait until it's time to take a pregnancy test before telling him. That being said, I told my husband every single worry I have because keeping...

    IVF Journey: HPV High Risk + Polyps

    Hi dear, so sorry to hear about your situation, the fibroids will hinder implantation so that is most probably why your IUI failed.. I read extensively on this and while there are women who can get pregnant with polyps, fibroids unfortunately can grow big very fast.. I actually have a tiny one...

    Hi dear, we went to KKH too for our first IVF. Yea it cost that much and you can partially use Medisave, rest must top up in cash. Pretty sure I paid $200+ . Hyposy hurts so much, even on the strong painkiller they prescribed. Time it well, too soon and the effects will wear off.

    IVF at KKH

    Thank you for your kind words. We have been trying to conceive naturally unsuccessfully between Nov until now. With this epidemic, looks like we may need to wait yet again..

    I agree, and I checked with KKIVF with regards to the supplements that I was taking, to make sure they did not interfere with the hormonal injections. My only gripe was I had to research and googled and asked around which supplements to take and from when to start. Taking just before the IVF...
