Hi Sseah,

As mentioned by dragonhopes, you'll still have a chance for IUI. Relax, do some work out and pamper yourself a little!

May I know how many CD is your regular menses?
 
Rollybear,

I meant the urine is slight yellowish. It's not foul smell, but I do get to smell my stinky urine at times while sometimes it's odourless. Just curious...
 
This is the final week of waiting, few more days to go, can't help to ignore the thought totally. Last night, I casually asked HB what's our next course of action if we failed on this cycle. He said IVF....

Well, I'm slowly embracing it and kinda worrying of juggling between the hospital trips and work.
 
Thanks for the encouragement ladies

Really need that after disappointments whenever my menses come..

Babyseetoh: my menses is around 31 day cycle.

Btw, just curious: if follicle doesn't grow as large as ideal by CD 13, will doc give any med to help speed up the growth? Or will this cycle go to waste?
 
Sseah,

31 day cycle, so you still have 4-5 more days to let your follicles grow swee-swee. I'm not sure of any med to speed up follicle growth, no harm asking the Dr. But always remember what you want is quality eggs for a successful implantation.

Good luck! Don't forget to update us on your progress!

Sseah, yours is IUI or SO-IUI? if it is SO-IUI most probably dr will give more injection before ovulation occur. if it is IUI then i am not too sure.

Don't worry, doctor will give you best advice to go ahead with IUI or not.

BTW, which doc you are seeing? how long have you been TTC?

Babyseetoh, pardon me! in total how many cycle of IUI you went thru? is it SO-IUI or just IUI?

I dare not thought about IVF also,especially my workplace is very far from any place.
 
BabySeeToh,
Yeah... Last few days before you get your 'report card' Hehe... Any special symptoms so far? Stay positive ya! Waiting for your good news soon!
As for the yellowish urine, hmn... Do you take any supplements these days? Or probably you didn't drink enough water? Or do you feel heaty?

Sseah,
Your cycle is 31 days, your estimated ovulation time is on (31-14) your CD17. As what BabySeeToh mentioned, you still have 4 or more days before your follicles grow into mature size. Doctor tracking the follicle by its size not on our CD. I did my two IUIs on CD18. So don't worry too much on this ok. I am sure you can go through your IUI smoothly as plan. Follicle take their time to grow, don't rush them. hehe...
Stay relax and everything will fall in place nicely.

RollyBear,
Yes, from my experience, menses will still come even I don't ovulate well on that particular month. If I didn't go for follicle scan, I don't even know I don't ovulate.
Woaw, changing new job? That's good! Hope you have more BB luck by making some changes. All the best to your new job.
happy.gif

Haiz... you make me so feel like changing my job. But because of the location of my job now is near to NUH. I can easily take a little time off for all the review and scanning appointments. I am thinking maybe I should just stay till next year for my family planning. I will try one more round of IUI on my next cycle and proceed to IVF. I can have more flexibility here for my IVF plan cos need to on hospitalization leave for 2 weeks right? I think it will be easier to handle in current job. Haiz... Endure! Hope I can conceive real soon!
 
Heatherwhite,

Isit true that there'll be 2 weeks hospitalisation leave granted? I think if I were to go back for U/S next month, I'll discuss with the Doc on what to expect in preparing for IVF. I'm not sure abt private patient, the last time the nurse told me if I'm planning for IVF, I have to go back to Clinic G, Main Building. I don't quite understand tho.

I have no symptoms, just slightest sting here and there on my abs and chest. I feel indifferent from any other month
sad.gif
Don't dare to "open" report card, now it the most stressful part of the cycle. So you intend to try for 3rd time for IUI? I wonder whether I should give it a last try. But I sure want a mental break in Aug.

You maybe right that I may be heaty or not drinking enough of water that can't dispel some of the smell from the supplement. Will monitor it. Tks!

Dragonhopes,

I have done 2 IUI + Clomid so far. Doc has not mentioned about SO-IUI to me tho.

I'm cradling my calender to sleep every night now.
 
BabySeeToh,

i am so understand your feeling now. I will be you next week. There is no next cycle for u! dont worry and try to keep yourself occupied ok!
 
Ahh.. Feel better after reading ur replies
happy.gif
I was worried cos I read that clomid helps speed up follicle growth and by cd10 the size should be big enough.. I took clomid from cd2-6 so I thought that my eggs should be bigger by now..

Babyseetoh: stay positive and gd luck! Keeping fingers crossed for u- hope to hear gd news from u soon ;)

Dragonhopes: I'm doing iui with clomid.. We've been trying for 1.5 years.. My doc is dr yu at Sgh..
 
Heatherwhite...thanks for the info. i'm surprised to hear that from Prof and i did some research n found that it is possible to have anovulation bleeding which is different from menses. yeah...changing job hopefully better environment...better luck
happy.gif
lots of challenges ahead...so take it easy.

which CD are you in now? best of luck to everyone
happy.gif
 
babyseetoh, can understand how you feel. Times crawl during the 2WW. But not to worry, we all here will pray for you
happy.gif


BTW, saw from the past thread and understand from your gals that menses will still come even we dun ovaluate. In this case, we really will not know if we really have chance that month if we are not doing any ultra sound. Sigh....

sseah, not to worry, when i am on SO-IUI, my folicle grow very slowly too. But it will like grow extremely fast when reaching my ovaluation date. So i guess, some ppl will react this way. For info, i am also 31 - 32 days cycle. Good luck and not to think too much
happy.gif
 
Cherrie: thanks for sharing- comforting to know that there's still chance this cycle
happy.gif
hope my follicles will jia you..

Do you girls go to tcm as well? Does it help? Which doc is good?
 
Sseah, Dragonhopes, Cherrie,

Thks! I'm better today, quite occupied with work and catching up on reading. Saturday will be the cut off day, sure will be restless. This typical time of the week is all about counting day-after-day
sad.gif
I need lots of distraction...

Dragonhopes, next week you'll be in my shoe, hope you can do better than me yeah!

Foodieshare,

Going for holiday is sure fun and shiok! Enjoy yourself to the fullest
happy.gif
 
Anyone heard of Tribestan?

Just got this name, it's a supplement or drug, I'm not too sure, from a colleague's friend. He claimed that it may help as he was trying for 3 fruitless years until he took this vit. He said it helps to strengthen his sperms. Can get from pharmacy. I'm yet to google it.
 
Sseah,

How was your scan? Today right?

I used to do BBT, taking my body temperature daily for 6months. But out of six, I only see a clearly distinguished pre/post ovulation chart. The rest were irregular pattern, like a volatile stock market. Frustrated, I stopped taking temperature.

Since May 11, I started taking TCM med frm Eu Yan Sang,
Paragon with Dr Xia Rong and she wants to see my BBT chart every month when I visit her. It seems that my BBT charts look more stabalised. Although, I'm not preggie, but I'm sure those TCM med are nourishing and I don't have any more giddy spell (low blood).

Mind you, the daily med is definatelynot a yummy concoction and it cost less than $300 per month supply, depending on the contents. The med comes in 2 types, 1 consume from CD1-14, another one will be from Cd15-28.
 
Yup today was my scan- my follicle not growing very much though.. Only grow by 0.5mm
sad.gif
*sigh*

I can only hope that, like what cherrie experienced, my follicle will speed up growth next few days.. The nurse ask me to monitor my ovulation using opk.

Am thinking of going for tcm too.. Maybe with the med and acupuncture can help ba..
 
Sseah,

Just keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best. Maybe doc will up your dosage along the way.

Every month is like a race, from waiting to see matured follicles to 2ww torturing period. But.... We'll definately look back some day and share our struggle that turn into bundle of joy moment. Hang in there!

Hi gals,
Happy Sunday! Hmn... guess what I am back to work.
sad.gif
busy busy!

BabySeeToh,
How how? any good news to share? Can't wait to see your update. Hope to hear from you.
happy.gif


Sseah,
When is your next scan? Ya, like what babyseetoh said, every month is like a race, sometime we will have a smooth race, sometime just can't make things right! I have experience 2 months of anovulation. It is just like trial and error to me, this month this dosage no use, try on higher dosage next. Hmn, it is quite standard SOP actually. hehe... Don't give up is the key factor. Jia you gals!
 
HeatherWhite,

Doing OT on Sunday?

It's a quiet Sunday, yesterday went to Ubin for seafood, so shiok! Actually, yesterday was officially 2week due date
happy.gif
But I do have 31 day cycle, so still have 3 more days to countdown and consider as SAFE! Every now and then when I have small discharge, I'd ran to the toilet to check, so insane! Anyway, I don't have any single symptoms, that's the trickiest part. Hope to see some light at the end of the tunnel also cannot
sad.gif


Hope everyone has a relaxing weekend. Pamper yourself a little!
 
no updates today?

BabySeeToh, no news is good news ya! keep my finger crossed for you!

i had skin breakout this morning, watery & creamy discharge, stomach growing big-->all my typical PMS. So guess AF is around the coner..sigh!
 
Everyone seems quiet for the past few days.

Dragonhopes,

I don't have any update. Today is my CD31, DPO18. I don't usually have pre-menstrual symptoms, neither is my breast giving me any signs. This is the most trying and tricky part. I only only sit back and be patient
happy.gif


Good luck everyone!
 
Hello all...

Jia You everyone :D
 
Hi everyone, guess all have been busy lately..

Babyseetoh: I agree with dragonhopes- no news is good news
happy.gif

Yup, am already mentally prepared for next cycle- don't have much hopes for this cycle.. Thanks for all the encouragement ladies!
happy.gif

BabySeeToh,

i crossed my fingers and toes for u.

a bit discouraging news, i am in new cycle.
sad.gif


sigh! this cycle is so short today on CD27.

Gambateh girl!
 
***** Announcement *****

We finally succeeded on our 2nd IUI attempt!

This is the first place I break the news, family members and friends would be as late as possible. The reason why I can share our good news here is I want to tell everyone here that everyone can get pregnant, just DO NOT give up, your turn will come
happy.gif


I tested +ve yesterday and HB doubt its accuracy and I tested today again to confirm. I was crying in the bathroom alone before sharing it with my HB.

I'll pray from the bottom of my heart, for all of you here to report BFP soon.
 
Congrats babyseetoh!!
happy.gif
so happy for u! So now u must take care and eat well! With your good news, it shows that there's chance for all of us to also get our bfp will iui
happy.gif
jia you to us all!!
 
Wow...that's good news babyseetoh!!

looks like my wish for you gals are coming true ;) hope soon will be my turn too!

jia you! jia you!
 
Dragonhopes, sseah,

Thanks, I'm excited and yet afraid, honestly. So I'm trying to lie low in the meantime.

Just to re-cap, I started on clomid+natural in Apr11. Then my following month menses only last for 1 day. Afraid of the thin womb lining, I went for TCM. The rest of the month my menses was back to normal and my body temp chart is more stable during the pre/post ovulation.

My hb only take Vit C & E, with me reminding everyday. I alternate pre-natal supplement between Sanatogen Mother-to-be and Blackmore Conceive-Well. I also take folic acid as an addition. I take all the supplement and tcm at least 2hrs apart.

I love food, not fussy, a daily cup of coffee and ice lemon tea is my favourite drink but will try not to drink if I can
happy.gif


IUI sure works but just need the right egg, the right sperm and the right environment for it to grow! I hope more good news are on the way. Jia you!
 
Rollybear,

Thanks, next will sure be your turn
happy.gif
fyi, I bought a new bowl last month

**** Baby Dust to all of you****

A BIG congratulation to you! Thanks for your baby dust, grabbing it! Hope I will hit the jackpot on my next cycle like you. If not, will be going to IVF le. Sob... Enjoy your holiday ya! Take extra care ok. Do hope to see you here for your updates and keep us going...
happy.gif



Alimgirl,
Don't be despair ok, I believe your gynea will give you good suggestion on how to proceed. Try not to give yourself too much stress. We know we are doing our best we can. The outcomes are something we can't control. This month fail, we can always try harder next month. I know this is easy to say then do, and it's mentally straining. But what to do. Don't give up is the key to success! This is what I have been telling myself for the past 3 years... Feel like giving every time, but I am so happy that I get great support from the sisters here to keep me going. You too! Let's continue to go on until BFP. Jia you ok!

Dragonbaby,
New cycle = new hope. What's your planning for this cycle? I am on natural this cycle, but was too busy with work, never keep track on my ovulation. Guess I have missed it. But is ok... looking forward to my new hope... I will be going for my third cycle of IUI.

RollyBear,
HOw's your new job? Hope things are going fine with your side there. Quickly settle down and back to chat with us! hehe... Oh, remember to BD with HB and try naturally... Jia you!

Sseah, Cherrie, Tong le,
How are you all doing there? Keep each other updates ok.
 
hi heatherwhite,

you almost acknowledged everyone in this thread
happy.gif


i suppose to go scan and gonal-F injection today or tomorrow but i am thinking not to go as time constraint, but i took clomid 100mg for this cycle. so afraid of releasing bad eggs and scare of multiples also.

still thinking whether to see doctor tomorrow or not! a bit lost, dont know what to do!
 
Dragonhopes,

Hehe... ya, so long nv login, miss you gals here. keke...

Hmn, just go to see doctor tomorrow if you can arrange your time. Sometime I just follow what the doctor told me to without thinking too much. The more we think, the more we get our self confuse. Since we got professional to help us decide on something we don't know, then just leave the problem to them. hehe... So go see the doctor and follow them. Don't waste our brain cell. keke...
 
Hi everyone, i'm new to this forum. Starting my first SO-IUI after 3 failed IUI (2 natural, 1 clomid). Cannot help but feel more depressed each time after learning the failed results
sad.gif

Anyone doing SO-IUI this mth too?
 
heatherwhite,

I suppose to do my 2nd IUI last month but my hubby was on fever 1 day before the IUI day. Therefore we cancel the IUI.
AF just reported on Tuesday,we plan to do IUI this cycle.
Hope everything will be alright.

Welcome Hopeful Ng.
 
Tong Le, Heatherwhite,

I thought my AF is accurate and i am able to see doctor on Sat. Who knows my AF reported earlier. As i just came back from holiday and now is budget planning time, i really can die cannot sick where got time to see doctor. so, skip this round and will do IUI next cycle.

Thanks for your encouragement girl!
happy.gif


Welcome Hopeful Ng, dont be depressed ya! we are here for you! so many graduates from here and you will be next!
happy.gif
Read our previous posts and about the "bowl theory" also.
 
Hi hopeful ng welcome to the forum I am doing my soiui this Month at Nuh? Which cd u in? I am in cd19 bad news is my eggs are still small so dr might cancel the iui. did u take gonal f or puregon for the injections? And which hospital?

Hope everyone gets promted as mothers soon.
 
Hopeful Ng,
Hihi, we all know how you feel now. Jia you ok? You will have higher chance by going for SO-IUI. Cos you will have more follicles are ready and waiting for their Mr. Right mar. Think it positively ok?
Frankly speaking, if I fail my 3rd IUI (touchwood lar), I hope my doctor allows me to try SO-IUI. I still not very prepared for IVF yet. Anyway, don't give up ok. Jia you!

Tongle,
Hehe... my HB was having flu during my second IUI. I was angry with him for falling sick. Hehe... actually not his fault lar, I apologized to him after that. Anyway, we still carried on with our IUI. Should have abandone the cycle and take a rest. Maybe I should learn how let go precious cycle chance sometime.
Ger don't worry! you will have a smooth IUI for this cycle, praying for you here.
happy.gif


Dragonhopes,
Haha... So true, can die but can't fall sick! I know the stress of taking leave or time off for Doctor's appointments, so stressful to rush in and out. Sigh...
Ok, Enjoy your natural this month to the fullest! But do keep track on ovulation and BD with HB more ok? Jia you! Quickly go and grab Babyseetoh bb dust. hehe...
happy.gif


Alimgirl,
When do you need do follicle scan again? How long is your normal cycle? Prof. Wong told me before, it is very normal for follicles to stop growing into mature size. It is a natural selection. Ask me not to feel sad and worry. Hehe... I think he is trying very hard to console me that time when I have experienced 2 consecutive months of anovulation. If this month no good, we always have next month to work on. Hope we all will promoted as mother very very soon like babyseetoh!
 


Thanks dragonhopes and heatherwhite! It's really heartwarming to receive these encouragement. I think no one can fully understand how we feel and what we are going thru (esp the waiting period) and not mentioning the disappointment. Not sure if I have the courage to go for IVF too. The daily injection for 10 days already freak me out! I can't imagine how to go thru the process of IVF. Hope all of us can "graduate" from here soon and each get a dragon bb!
