hi kate.. think you must be stressed. *hugs* Being 'emo' can be a good sign too? If you are alone, do something which you enjoy doing alone? watch your fav show on TV, surf net, do some online shopping..
Ayana, I am taking the minimum dosage for conceive well...it comes in 2 diff type of pills...really horrible smell...
Hi Kate...yes jiayu!!hope you will succeed this round...sometimes cry out also better than you box up your feeling...I am also a crybaby..hehe...high workload can certainly be very stressful. Oh ya...I have finally threw in the towel after 10 years of continuous stress at work. Felt great and hopefully no regrets. Going to relax and chill at home...

Welcome all newcomers! You get very good support here and everyone is so friendly here
Lillian, you can start conceive well anytime during your cycle. You can get the pills at guardian, watsons, or unity. Just look under the blackmores brand.
As for soya bean, I did read that it hinders ovulation and my TCM also warned me not to take too much. We don't have to totally cut soya bean off our diet, I believe moderation intake should be okie. For me, I used to take 2 cups of soya bean milk everyday for more than a year but later cut down to maybe one/two cups per week or so. Mine was exaggerated intake then so I think it's reasonable for me to cut it down. But if yours is just normal moderation intake, I guess you should be fine.
Mel, I hate taking conceive well too! I have gastric problems so will feel terrible taking them. So what I did was to take them straight after dinner, on a full stomach. This way, it eases my stomach alittle and I would still gag abit but bobian, gotta force them down.
Dragonhopes, how about bintan? Just one hour boat ride from here and can still buy duty free alcohol at the jetty to enjoy them in bintan! *wink* I find taking planes will disrupt my ovulation. It happened twice to me. Or just go on cruises?

Kate, I can only chill 2 months later, as my notice period is 2 months...so long dunno how to drag myself to work everyday.
I'm visiting Dr Lim this morning...hopefully he can advise me on my next step. Had a m/c about one year ago and have been trying till now. It's so tiring....

Hi, the clinic was quite empty today. When dr lim saw me he said.."still not pregnant!" I said ya loh.. Haha.. The lady before me is expecting twins! ( dr lim showed me her scan photos, I could see the heartbeats, this is so amazing. Dr lim said it was ivf). Well, as for me, I only have 1 possible egg on my left, and nothing visible on my right. Told dr lim I am not taking any clomid for the time being. Was given 4 shots of gonal f n double metformin to take this month. Hope my only hopeful egg will grow big in time. !

May, I visited him towards the end of my cycle. Just want to start to do necessarily blood test before procedure start. But actually I think first visit on CD7 will b fine
hi tub, my experience was with Dr Stephen Chew in NUH, not with Dr Lim, the medicine and jab name and the procedure may abit diff, i heard my iVF Doc said tat young women will take long protocol, above 35 women will take short protocol. so during tat time i oni 28 yrs old, mine is a long one! below is my best answer to u:
1. When do I see dr if I want to do ivf?
ans: if u not yet do any report or specific on the hormones blood test, u better go on the 2nd day of ur mense, so doc can take ur blood test and examine r u lack of some hormones tat which may affect ur ovaluation and womb lining! two test will be taken, one is on 2nd or 3rd day of ur mense, another one will be on 21st of 22nd of ur mense cycle. if ur hubby not yet take sperm test, doc sure ask ur hubby to do sperm test, best for ur hubby to keep his sperm for 3 to 7 days, to have best result, too short, little sperm volume, too long quality not good. if all test report u have it and result is within one year then must see when u decided to do it, if provided tat the hospital or gyna can let u do immediately, u dun need to queue up, then u may go on ur cycle start or after mense. if u need to queue up then anytime u want lor bcos u r on waiting list mah!
2. How long is the process?
ans: mine is long protocol, till u know the result whether u preg or not is total ard 6 weeks.
3. What medication both oral and jab are we expecting? How many jabs?
ans: if u decided to do on oct, example: ur CD1 is on 1ST OCT, then doc will give u superfact a jab to suspress ur hormones on 21st of OCT, jab for 14 days continuously, till 3rd of NOV, then change to Gonal F jab for another 14 days, if u got PCOS or ovaries disorder like me, the dosage will be higher and more jab, mine is ard 17 days of Gonal F tat time, in between u will need to see doc for scan to check on ur follicles quantities and size and take hormones blood test too ard 3 times, if u have enough follicles in right size and hormones test passed then give u a jab which must take exactly 35.5 hours before ur ER. then ER lor.
4. What is er or et and what are the procedures like? Can we be up and going after the procedures?
ans: ER is egg retrieve process where doc will put ur to sleep as the procedures is quite painful i heard, bcos i oso sleep during process so i dunno the level of pain can be endure anot! ER is always at ard late morning or early noon, on the day of ER, hubby will go take up their sperm in clinic, then late morning then u come for ER, as the lab need time to prepare hubby sperm, which ard 2 to 3 hrs. then they will take out all the eggs u have in ur follicles except those r too high up on the ovaries then cant retrieve, not all of ur follicles contain eggs, mine got 18 follicles oni 6 eggs, i got a problematic ovaries, heehee... then eggs will sent to lab with ur hubby sperm to do lab procedure which let the sperm go into the egg, if u doing normal ivf, lab will placed ur hubby sperm on the eggs in a dish(small plate) to let the sperm invade ur eggs naturally under mircoscope, once the egg is fertilised, they will keep it in a fridge kind of look thing to keep it under room temp. if u choose ICSI ivf, which mean ur hubby sperm test result is not good, then u must choose icsi ivf, the lab will choose the best of the best sperm ur hubby have then inject it into ur eggs to fertilised it, bcos if ur hubby sperm not good, the sperm may not able to fertilised the eggs itself! after ER, ard half hours to 1hrs u will wake up, but u must be on bed for another 3 hours to let the ma zui yao gone, a doc will come visit u, after 3 hrs, and doc will informed u, u got how many eggs retrieved just now. then u may go home then wait for 3 days later come back do ET, Eggs transfer loh. within 2 days, clinic will call u to confirm u r fine after ER, then the lab will call u to updated u on the fertilised eggs condition, mine 6 eggs oni 2 fetilised, other all cannot make it and die off. then 3 days later, u go back to clinic for ET, u r fully aware of wat doc during ET bcos u r not put to sleep on ET, 1.5 HRS before ET, Pls drink at least 2 litres of plain water to make ur bladder full, oni full bladder can do ET, dun urine 1.5 hours before u ET, full bladder will press on ur uterus to make ET eaeier for doc, so ur precious embryo can insert in smoothly! after ET, the nurse will ask u to continue hold ur urine till u cant tahan, u cannot push urself or use strength after ET for 2 hours to make sure that the embryo was not push out by u!!! then u will sleep on a inclined bed, which head below and leg up position for 2 hours, then u may go home, then take care of urself, ur mc will be given since the day u ER, so 19 days after ER or 16 days after ET u will go back for work. on the 14 days after ET, if u nv see red, then go back clinic take preg blood test to confirm BFP! if u see red before day14, faster call clinic for emergency blood test to test whether ur ivf has failed or u r near to miscarriage, so if u BFFthen try again, if u BFP, u might need to take hormones jab to protect ur babies lor! tats all! jia you!!!! and hope u got good news to share wif me and other gals here soon!!! very soon!!!

Hi everyone...
1st visit to Dr Lim yesterday. Even before doing the scan, he was already quite sure that I have PCO...cos i told him that i conceived naturally last year but m/c due to blighted ovum..upon hearing this he was sure that i have PCO..then later he did a scan and confirmed that indeed have PCO...
I visited a few gynaes before Dr Lim, and none of them told me that i have this problem. So now at least I found out the cause and can focus on the treatment. I will be starting off with Dr Lim's Plan A first...he gave me metformin to start immediately + duimin (when the ugly witch visits me) and will call them for appt on CD8 for my first ever jab..
Currently still in my 2ww...looking forward to next cycle...anyone here experience any side effects from taking metformin?

yes..my dears! i will jia you! :> Fingers crossed.
The metformin made me so sick last evening. (stomachache and nausea).
yeeks, i made plans for a 1-week holiday during my Ovulation week in Nov. I didnt know that there is a possibility that flights can affect the ovulation. But phy also makes a lot of sense, flying at high altitude and pressure in the aircraft cabin can affect the body. Plus im also quite gan cheong type when it comes to holidaying.
Dr lim asked me to go plan B, but i explained i will still stick to plan A for a few more months. Dr lim is so supportive.
MayYing, Yes, the nurse told me the same thing when i called to book, but when i arrived on sat, it was actually very empty. Actually it doesnt matter which CD you visit dr lim on your first visit. He will look at your cycle dates and advise you accordingly, starting with metformin. (if you have PCO/PCOS).

Dr lim asked me to go plan B, but i explained i will still stick to plan A for a few more months. Dr lim is so supportive.
MayYing, Yes, the nurse told me the same thing when i called to book, but when i arrived on sat, it was actually very empty. Actually it doesnt matter which CD you visit dr lim on your first visit. He will look at your cycle dates and advise you accordingly, starting with metformin. (if you have PCO/PCOS).

bambini> dont worry. u jsu need 1 egg. teh month i conceived, i aso oni had one good egg.
kate> hey, after you realsie that you r pregnant, u shld stop on metformin immediately. it reduces the chances of miscarriage when you conceived during the course of eating metformin.
i dint had any side effects taking metformin as well.
baby dust to all!!

Yes yes, I remember Dr Lim showed me the baby US on the machine on one visit!
Kate, issit you hear wrongly? Dr Lim says metformin is eat until pregnant. Once u found out then dun need to eat metformin liaao.
Ya, the last sat is quite empty. Dr got more time to talk to me. mine's a singleton and we saw the heartbeat flickering on the screen liao. =) baby dust and carebear shine to everyone!

Hi Kate, you mean, you paid ~ 14000 for ivf previously? Really very ex.
Actually I thought also dr lim said that metformin will be taken throughout the pregnancy too. I guess everyone's case is different ba..
I dunno what lei.. Have been having the runs ( diarrhea) past 3 days. I wonder if it is the side effect of metformin or gonal f or flumicid. But previously no prob.
Any more updates from the first time visits to dr lim?

Kate...you mean even after u get pregnant, must continue with metformin? To my understanding, dr said continue eating until discover that u r preggy...
I started on metformin...felt bloated n nausea this morning...hope either tomorrow will be fine or I have to get used to it...
Dragonhopes, I was seeing a Chinese physician too. But dr said just follow 100% western...so I better listen to him.

kate, 36.83 still looking good
fingers crossed tight tight for you. I am still thinking whether to go ahead with Plan A this cycle or not. Financially burden and some more think to tio my body first. fickle minded..dont know what to do.
Dragon, here my advise to u, if u think u still need time to tiao ur body under Dr Zou, please do so, then carry on with plan A first, till u think or Dr Zou informed u tat ur body is ready then whack Plan B, chances higher! no point doing plan B if u really think ur body is not ready for conceived. plan A cheaper, tiao ur body shun bian try try, no harm! this is wat i think lah...

Thanks Kate, this is what i think also. maybe take a break for a few cycles from Dr.Lim while tiao my body. then going back to see him in Nov or Dec.
Hi ladies! How's everybody doing?
Me not so great...back aching pain started. I usually have this problem 1 week before AF about 1 year back after my D&C. But this month this stupid pain comes way too early! arrghh hate it! i wonder what's wrong with my body...just worry it may be something i read about called endometriosis...
