hee hee... sorry for the misinterpretation....
yah ... think he will rather advise u to try a few more times first before deciding to go for IUI or even SO-IUI.... So these 2 process involves injection .... For IUI only, will require 3 injections and as well as medications.... For SO-IUI, will be more.... think it's everyday injection till egg released.....
So think properly before u really decide to go ahead with it loh...
Yah.. me not on my own... cos 2nd cycle on clomid did not work.... the egg follicle din grow as it is suppose to .... So this 3rd cycle still went back to him.. cos he wanna make sure by doing a scan loh.....

sometimes to tink of it, u tend to know what's happening to your body exactly with the technologies.... rather than to dunno anything abt it and try aimlessly bah.... But I also agree with u on the stress loh.... and really feel like an exam one .... the % is like 50-50.... It's scary loh....

Oh it's the nurse who told me one .... Got 3 jabs.... 1 before the O, and 2 after the O between an interval of 3 days.... So it's not tat simple one leh .... And for IUI, when the frozen sperms unfreeze, the sperm count will tend to be lower one .... dependant also....

ya, i totally agree. sometimes u think that everything is going on well in your body, but after the scan, then u realise something is really not right. nowadays when i see dr cheng, there will be another young male doctor already, and sometimes he is the one doing the scan for me. feel abit paisey, as he is very young.
the IUI, after injecting the spermie into our V, it depends on whether the spermie and egg will meet rite? but i think it increases the chances, instead of having the sperm to "swim" to the egg. is it?
will start saving money for iui now!

huh? first and second time i go, he just stand behind and watch while dr cheng do v scan for me. but subsquently, he will be the one to do for me. and he will say sorry before he poke that thing in...haha. make me even more scare. and i feel abit uncomfortable lor, maybe he is not experienced enough.
liz
that young guy always sit down and will give funny expressions whenever i ask questions one. i very kiasu, i always equip myself with questions on my visit there, coz its very ex, and dun want to waste money! haha. i never hear that young guy answer any question before one... everytime i go for my visit, if i dun see him around, i will tell DH that so lucky, today that young guy is not here. then suay suay he will step in the next moment one....
gals, i think i will ask more abt IUI during my next coming visit. make the spermie's work easier

i think he will be attached to dr cheng leh. coz when i first see dr cheng, i asked him only morning can book apptmt with him? then he say yes, and dun worry, if he is not around, that young chap will be around, and he will attend to me. in my heart i was thinking, i am paying so much to see u becoz u are a experienced fertility specialist, why would i want to pay the same amount to see an inexperienced gynae??
i sound very bad...

Worried,
Dr Cheng, said auto pliot for the coming 3 cycles, just call the nurse then come and purchase clomid & OPK. Hmmm... I dunno leh, must see him meh? See him to do wat? Cos dun think he will do the v scan.
for this coming one will be my 2nd clomid cycle, U leh?
I dun take BBT, cos last time in the past b4 I see Dr Cheng, I did try doing BBT, cannot make it, cos I sleep in aircon room, think I lying down measure temp that time, mouth open, cos semi asleep, hahaha, temp was 32. something, then temp kept going high and low.I decide not to take temp. Now the thermometer is in Cold Palace.

i m also on my 2nd cycle of clomid now. hmm...dun know leh. all the while i thot must see him then can get medicine one....but when my ist cycle failed, i still went to see him on my 2nd day of the new cycle leh.
nowadays,i m more or less used to taking bbt in the morning liao. i think i heard the other girls saying that coz u sleep in the same air con room every night, so it should be alright lor. i think my is still alright, when AF is here, its usually 35.7, then after O will slowly go up to 36.7. but i must admit that taking bbt is a torture, esp when u see the temp dropping...

Babymouse,

Worried,
That time during my 1st cycle, I dun have OPK so I got it from them, then I also test on the spot, cos they demo to show how to use and read it lor.

oh ... 1st time if u dont bring it, then they will asked u to buy by default one loh....
I had no choice on my 1st visit to buy it from them ... think it's cost like $70 over after GST.... So i asked cindy whether can buy it from outside.... Then cindy told me that if can get it cheaper outside, better get it elsewhere loh... But if outside more expensive, can always get it from them.....
Normally without discount, usual price also like $69.30 or $69.25 (forget which price from guardian and which price from watson)
but sometimes have to look out at watson where they will include HPK 2 test strips loh, which is on promo ... With that included, it's the best buy liao .... Cos since got to pay the normal price like $69.30 or $69.25, may as well more worth it to get the one with HPK kit ....

Babymouse,
Think I will try to find my receipt from TMC how much they charge for OPK.
Will relook at Guardian and waston pricing. S$69+ is the clearblue smiley face OPK hor?
Actually I find the smiley face very cute, those days b4 detecting O the sign is only round circle. Then I will feel very sian. When kenna detected O, the smiley face appears, I also smile, hahahaha......

hello worried
Creamy discharge when AF is due is a very good sign!! And read that you have been feeling tired too which is another good sign. Seems that you have striked liao. Jia you!!!
I asked Dr Cheng before about creamy discharge before, when not pregnant that time, he said discharge is normal, but if pregnant, the white discharge is a sign of high hormonal levels which is good.
Hope you have good news to share with us all

erm... don't think too much. Jia you for next cycle.
Btw, you are DPO16 today right? If AF not here tomorrow, please test with HPT. if -ve and no AF, please go and see Dr Cheng or call him. As he will need to do a blood test to check that it is not ectopic. Not trying to scare you but just to be on the safe side. take care okie.

hello babymouse
Me been here all this while and at 2ww thread too.. silent reader, but been keeping up with the threads
I'm ok, seeing Dr Cheng this Friday morning.. anyone seeing him this Fri too? Maybe we can bump into each other!!
Worried, jia you for next cycle!! Who knows perhaps your AF might dip today but suddenly rise again tomorrow? Like what Liz said, if AF still dun report by its due date, better take a HPT. Hope it's +ve for you!
hi Liz
How are you? Glad to see you are not giving up. Jia you too!!
Btw ladies, regarding the OPK, I personally find Clearblue very expensive. What I do is I use the Dbest opk strip to test (each strip is about $0.90) twice a day nearing O date. Once dbest test +ve, then I use Clearblue digital to double confirm. Works well for me as both give the same result the last time I used it. So go buy the dbest strip and dun waste so much $ on the Clearblue Digital.
That time I tested 3 times a day, Cindy stared at me and like wondered how much I spent so much to test, then I told her I used the strip cheap cheap heeeeee....
And I know Dr Cheng's advice is to test once using FMU, but if I had based on his advice I would have missed my O date all together based on testing once. So I usually test once in morning and once at night. The night one actually gave me the positive reading and not the morning ones

Hi Rox,
For me, the 1st cycle I used clearblue, I use FMU, i used till 5th stick and detected O, then on the next day I itchy hand test again in the morning, the result is -ve, I then call Cindy and ask and she said OPK is detecting the hormones that u going to O, so it is normal if I did detect the next day. Hahaha.....
Btw go where to buy Dbest?
Babymouse,
I went to 2 different location Waston and take a look the price is S$71.25, not S$69+ leh, which waston u went to huh?
I also check the price which TMC charge, they charge S$68 + 7% GST, so it is more ex.

Can understand how you feel. I will fill damn shitty on the day AF report also. haiz... bo bian. life still goes on.
did you check with the doc? Understand that you are eager to try, but if cannot take clomid while taking cough mixture, then better don't waste the cycle as clomid can only take a number of times. just my 2 cents worth.
take care!
I don't think I got chance. No symptoms.
