Hope: I did not bring anything for my first scan.. Just go there see how big is the eggs and the doc will estimate when you can do IUI.. What are the next thing/jab you need to take..
 
The nurse told me to bring along the balance medication from the jab. She told me to keep it with an ice pack and bring along. I have a friend, she told me i should have skipped SO-IUI and gone straight to IVF. Thtz what she did. She said waste money and time going thru other procedures. But i feel tht at least if i tired IUI and in case things doesnt work *touchwood* out at least got another hope for IVF.
 
Hi Hope,

When I went to see doc, he said to try IUI for at least 3 times then proceed to IVF.

I think it's better to start from small steps. Dun worry, you're on the right path.

I have the thought of going straight to IVF previously.. I think my husband and I are not mentally prepared for all the jabs.. And personally, I feel we should give IUI a try. If it failed, then maybe considered IVF. Don't straightway go to IVF without give IUI a chance..

that's my 2 cents tot..

Like what jessica said.. Dont give up!!!!
 
Agree with sarahlyn, my close friend's sis went through ivf as it was tough. Don't think I can do jab everyday on my own. To give ourselves more chances, less tramantic is iui.

Patience and determination, our wish would come true.
 
Yup .. It is Friday!!
I think IVF is invasive procedure cos of the extraction of egg and more injections than iui .U have to get mentally prepared according to my fren who did IVF .
Ladies, we can do it if we have the will !!
 
Hi all

I have planned to have iui this cycle, actually my doc already suggested since december, but been busy, this cycle than we can have time to take it seriously...

I have taken jabs today 2nd day... And will be back to dr on friday finger crossed...

Anybody have success in first strike?
 
Hi Peggy,

It was a painful experience for me as doc said my cervix were rather tight. But he said it's definately inside already and egg released.

Now is the waiting game.

How abt yours? Not easy to hold full bladder. Keke...
 
I agree with dragon chew.. Not easy to hold full bladder! Haha..

Welcome to the 2ww!! I can't help but keep thinking is this pain/symptom is the sign.. Haha..
 
Ya I can understand that. My first iui, I was waiting for the doc with full bladder for one to 2 hrs , went to toilet to pee and drink water again many times

Dian tang: that was a bad experience... The day I did mine it was a raining day.. Cold weather.. The more I wanna go toilet more often. Haha

Dragon chew: ya.. The 14 days are the longest period ever..
 
At the same time, Another patient can tahah while me and another patient went to loo and stand near to water dispenser and drink couple of times :p the doc made us wait so long .
The second time iui, it was sat so the procedure was done before 10.30 am.
 
Hello dragon,

Hopefully tues before I go away. Need to scan tomorrow again. Last thu egg was too small so can't inject. If tomorrow ok, then doc would give me a jab and tues iui. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Jia u ok. Best of luck
 
Hi there,

Just to share, I had my IUI done at NUH under Prof PC Wong last mth.. I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant.. Hope everything will go smoothly from here.. Wishing all the brave ladies here the best of luck for your IUI procedures!

Hi Dragon and dian tang,

Thank you!!

Mine was a natural cycle of IUI.. Went in for my scan on Day 12 morning.. Dr said was already 18 mm, asked me to go back between 5-8 pm for the Ovidrel jab.. Then the IUI procedure was done on Day 14 at 10.30 am.. The appt was for 10.30 am and it was done pretty punctually.. The Dr scanned first to check if I had ovulated, and apparently I had just ovulated, so it was supposed to be good timing.. Then it was kinda funny, cos after the procedure, the nurse told me to rest and even got my hubby to come in and accompany me.. Think she forgot to tell me when I can get up.. 30 min later, the nurse realised I hadn't come out of the room, so she came in.. she was laughing and said forgot to tell me can get up already, then she said nvm, the longer the better

We only BD abt 5 days later, and again abt another wk later.. When I tested positive and went to the Dr when I was abt 5+ wks preggy, Dr said not to BD for the moment, we were like 'oops..'..

I din really take any tonics, just continued with my essence of chicken, which I started taking on alternate days from last july.. But during 2WW, I took it everyday cos I tot need more proteins.. but went back to alternate days when I ended up with sore throat after 2 weeks.. I'm not sure if it mattered, but I din take any cold drinks at all during that period too..

Oops.. hope I'm not too long-winded.. heehee

Min81,

You're not long winded. Thanks for all the info.

My scan on day 12 too. But trigger shot on day 13. Day 15 iui at 10:30am. After the iui, the nurse just said can dress up liao. No rest at all.
 
Hi dragon chew,

Was ur IUI done at NUH? Mine was done on a pretty quiet morning, nobody else seemed to be waiting, maybe dat's why they juz let me rest..

Stay positive n take good care of yourself.. Have good rest and eat healthy.. Sprinkling loads of baby dust on you

Hi Min81,

Yup. Mine done at NUH. I'm under Dr Stephen Chew.
What about you?

Thanks for your advices and bb dust.

Hi dragonchew,

Starting from 3dpIUI, I started feeling soreness in my breasts and lasted all the way, even until now.. And occasional slight cramps.. Other than that, not much.. Prof Wong told me to test on 21dpIUI but I was a little anxious and tested on 20dp..

Yup want to deliver in NUH.. Happy with the doctors and nurses so far.. But Prof Wong does not deliver anymore, so will have to choose another doctor when pregnancy stabilises.. Thinking of Prof Rauff but heard she's very popular so might not be able to get her.. How do you find Dr Stephen Chew?
 
Morning Min81,

After the iui were you given duphaston?

Sat is the third time I saw him. So far I find him friendly and humorous. I heard about Prof Rauff too. But heard she's fierce. Haha...

When you going for your scan? Scan at week 6 or 8?
 
Min81: congrats!!! So nice of you to share the good news with us and the information!

This morning I went to test.. I wanna see has the trigger shot I took last mondy still in my body or not and is -ve.. Haha... The tot of seeing -ve is kinda sad to me even tot I know I am testing way too early and this test was to see is the hcg from the shot still resides in my body or not..
 
Hi ladies.. So irritated! When I went for my first scan on sat... The doc said I had 2 big eggs and told me to carry on jabbing to get a third egg.. So on sat and sun I jab and today morning I did my 2nd scan and there were 4 -5 big big eggs!!! So they are saying now they can't go thru with the procedure becoz high chance of multiple preg. So irritating!! The nurse cld have told me to stop jabbing since there is already 2 big eggs.. Now I'm worried I have to go thru the whole steps again and waste another month.

Morning Saralyn,

The 2nd day after the trigger shot, I tested also negative. keke.... So, dont be sad, it's too early. Tell ur bb to stick stick stick and jia you.

Don't have any special symptoms. Just feel feverish but no fever when I temp.

What about yourself?
 
Hope: Huh? that was very bad of them. you wasted your time and pain to go tro all those jabs and now telling u u gotta cancel? How big are you eggs? Actually when I did mine, I had 4 eggs too on CD 12. there were 20, 17, 16 and 11. I took the trigger shot on that night and CD14, I went for IUI. I did not have any scan thus, don't know whether they have grown bigger or not.

Dragon: Haha.. I wanted to test earlier but lazy. Hm.. After the IUI, I have been feeling very sore/achy ard my pelvic/thigh area.. not all the time but every now and then.. and during some part of the day, it becomes so bloated.. I can't eat too full for dinner..
 
I have SIX eggs!! Right side: 21.5,17,14.5 left side: 18, 14.5, 14

They told me better to cancel n try next mth.. Now the scary thing is we BD last night.. Doc said cannot BD until my mense out becoz got chance of getting multiple.. Must use condom if BD.. I feel so disappointed. React well also cannot dun react also cannot..
 
Hope: Woah.. you reacted very well.. they shouldn't have ask u to jab over the weekend.. Anyway, look at the bright side that you react well to those medicine and you need alot of them
 
Hope,

You got ask doc what other ways or not? Cant be jab and now must cancel. The mental and physical stress. Or possible to do IVF?
 
I'm with KKH.. My doc is Doc Tan.. But I dun get to see him after each scan.. It is some other doc tht will do the consultation.. But becoz of the cancelation they charge me much lesser..
 
Hope: that's the thing about KKH.. I was with them previously.. for me, i didn't have a good experience with the docs there.. nurses still ok.. and so, decided to change..

Dragon chew: Hm.. I suspect is those jabs.. before the trigger shot, I was worst.. I puked every few days after dinner and I was soooooo bloated.. my husband was so scared by all my puking during those time. When I said full, he will not let me eat anymore. Haha..
 
Actually i dont understand why you need to abort this cycle cos by looking at the size of your follices, only 3 of them instead of 6 cos in order to do iui, min size is 18mm. Shd get 2nd opinion before leaving hosp (if i were you)
 
Hi Drangon Chew,

I wasn't given Duphaston after the procedure.. I was only given that after I went in for scan at 5 weeks and it was confirmed.. I have to go back again at 7 weeks.. Prof Wong said hope to hear heartbeat by then so I'm feeling really anxious.. not planning to tell my family till it's more stable..

Babydust to all!!

Can't convert to ivf becoz I have ovulated.. I did ask the doc again and agin if we can just proceed they say not advisable.. How do I get a 2nd opinion? U mean go see another gynae?
