Also, someone told me before, the mother s womb is a much better place for embryo to multiply cells, than inside the lab. If only have a day 3 embryo and doc has given green light to transfer, why not transfer? The chance for the day 3 embryo to grow to blastocyst to fetus etc will be better...

I heard cases like passed pgt/pgs, fail beta ( not implant). I heard case, day 2 embyro, only 1 embryo, the lab officer dare not take risk to cultivate further to day-5, just freeze and informed the patient, come back 2 month later for FET, and this only 1 embyro implanted and borned as healthy...

Just to share my view on pgt/pgs. One time my ivf cycle produced 3 blast, all considered " slow" in multiplying stage, or not up to expectation, but, even slow, still reach blastocyst stage. So doc recommeded for pgt/pgs, to check for abnormality. Result came back, one normal, one mosaic and...

After failed 1st FET, i went for TCM, included acupunture and chinese powder medicine for about 2 - 3 months. I also recorded my body temp every morning. Anyway, still failed in 2nd FET. I dropped TCM since i am financially tight. No doubt the acupunture can help in tiao my body, as i felt i can...

Among the 3 cycles of egg retrieve, the last cycle yielded the highest number of embryos. I guess doc increased the dose according to my age, and also i m less stressful since trying for no.2. But honestly, i only succeed at last transfer ( used up all embryos), meaning among 5/6 embryos, mostly...

My last ivf for eggs retrieve happened when i blowed my 40 yo candles. The process did not go on smooth as previous cycles, i had bleeding after the procedure ( not spotting, but, bleed). Anyhow, this cycle managed to collect like 12 to 14 oocyte. Half sent for ivf, half sent for ICSI. ICSI...

For the FET, doc was very creative, i tried endo scratch, one dose down regulate ( to suppress the ovary activity), two-dose down regulate, intralipid, insert " probiotic" like flora tablet into vaginal , even metformin just to promote implantation. As i said earlier, i did have several...

I wrote these down, just to share as i also received many positive energy from this forum in my ttc journey esp when i was lost.

Sharing on pregnancy journey I experienced very minor spotting since tested beta positive ( meaning wk 4 preg). Continue hormon support via oral and vaginal insert until week 6 first scan. Confirmed one sac inside womb and size was correct. Both of me and doc were delighted but need to come...

By the way, i took vit D 1000 iu per day before FET, and folic acid. Doc said asian are afraid of sun, so most deficiency in vit D. I am one of them.

I did adopt a pet in my ttc journey, now the pet is still with me, good companion as i m trained to be a dog mother for 3 yrs before succeed in ivf.

I heard so many gossips until i am " immune" to it. Family members, colleagues, friends keep asking when you want to get preg? Once they knew i started ivf treatment, more gossips came in. Some indeed offered good advices which i appreciated it until today, but indirectly added stress to myself...

I started with 2 embryos transfer for first few rounds, then after i delivered 1st baby, doc insisted only one embryo per transfer, so 2nd baby took longer time to arrive. And i took 2 weeks mc for 1st transfer, then 1 week leave for 2nd tranafer, cut down to 3 days off for 3rd transfer and...

I think one time positive beta, but beta too low like 2 digit, then next scan showed empty sac, not viable, just let the menses take place naturally to clean it. Another time, beta high, but subsequent scan showed no heart beat, need medication to stop the pregnancy. One more time, drama case...

I dont have tube after my 3rd FET due to ectopic. I was admitted to emergency as tube ruptured ( by the way, IVF patient has higher risk for ectopic). And i remembered doc seems " happy" after the operation, doc said no more tubes, one side removed, one side clipped, and no tubes patient is the...

I remembered my doc said before, there was a patient transferred for 15 or 16 times before can success in deliver a baby. Of course, nobody want to break this record as it will be a super exhausted journey. Just do not lose hope, not to immerse own life with ivf only, continue with the career...

i have recently delivered my 2nd baby at the age of 42+. I have went through 3 rounds of IVF to retrieve eggs and 9 times of frozen embryos transfer over the past 8 years (each time transfer 1 to 2 embryos). Along the journey, i have at least 4 or 5 times tested positive in beta, but, only...
