He is more patient than dr Foong. I feel comfortable with him. My HB said try another round of IUI with him first since icsi appt in sep.
Hopefully sonography goes well then can do.
Oh ya all ladies here, pls note that dr s f Loh told me the WHO revised the passing rate of sperm morphology to 4%. anything more than this consider pass. So dun worry too much abt the low morphology.

Foodieshare,
I am here... been waiting for AF to report for the past few days so nothing much to update. Was feeling down in fact, haiz... feeling tired on this TTCing journey suddenly...
I will start my clomid today, CD2
And back to NUH for follicle scan again on CD 12. Planning to try another IUI this cycle.
Ya, I am curious, which 2 TCM are good in Singapore? Can share share here?
Kate,
Hope your AF not reporting to you too!
Star,
How are you? Hope you are doing well there.
Rest of the sistas here. Hope you all doing fine there too!

I am also cd2. Dr Loh only says 2 but never reveals who? My HB said usually western medical doc won't recommend TCM so tht is why he didn't say who...
He said all other TCM doc may do harm than improve your condition. Hmmmm... So I didn't visit clementi doc last week.
I dunno who to trust now.

Chomps,
What is your HB SA previously? Sign, Prof. PC Wong never really comment about my HB SA at all although my HB SA is bad at only 2 % morphology. I asked Prof. Wong if he can give my HB some supplement for him at my previous appt. All he gave is Vit C and E.
I wonder what can we do more to improve his side.

Foodieshare,
We are cycle buddies this month.
Oh, Dr. Loh never mentioned which 2 TCMs are good to you ah. Hmn...I am not surprised the western doctors don't support TCM.
I can't tell you whether if Dr. Tan is really good or not. To me, there is no right and wrong. Just follow what your heart tells you to do, make sure you are comfortable with your own choice. I can see you are very comfortable with Dr. Loh now, so I think you should just follow what he suggest to you.
Do keep us update on your tests with Dr. Loh ok? Oh ya, how's the charges like so far? How you gals manage all the medical appointments with work har? I am getting tired to juggle and rushing here and there with appointments. sigh...

Hi ladies, hope you have all been well?
Been MIA cos...a lot of unhappy things. We only had 5 embryos left at the time of ET and two best ones were put in. Even then the grades were not excellent, just okay. Then the remaining three were not good enough to freeze so effectively I have nothing left.
Was very very sad for a while. Now am halfway through my 2WW.
Heather,
Maybe you can get your hubby to try L-Carnitine and Exsativa? My doctor said that they are not scientifically proven but as they are anti-oxidants, no harm trying. My husband's morphology has always been hovering around 4% and his motility hasn't been good either. Don't feel disheartened okay? My IVF journey has taught me that we are all stronger than we think we are. And we will get through this eventually.
Foodieshare and Kate,
Wow, good luck for your IVF in September! It will be here before you know it. In the meantime, go and tiao your body, okay? I regret not doing that, that's why my egg quality so terrible. But I did do acupuncture one month before IVF and I think it helped me in being more relaxed about the procedure.
Chomp,
Fingers crossed that your hub's numbers go up, thanks to sexual tonic heh heh.

You should test! 7 days is a good sign!
Well girls, unfortunately IVF was not a success. Got my period ahead of time. Was very sad but have to look forward. Hopefully can start on cycle 2 in August.
Kate and foodieshare,
Are both of you with Dr Loh? I may be switching to KKH for round 2, cos of the costs.

Kate,
Any good news to share?
Thanks Heather.
Going to rest for a couple of months first before trying again.
My pte doc recommended that I switch to KKH since it's cheaper and subsidized by the government but he recommended another doctor, not Dr Loh. Have contacted him and will probably see him for a consult next week.

Hi girls,

On the other hand, so we may be hearing good news soon?
As for me, I'm not doing anything now, maybe just try naturally in the meantime while I serve 2 months' notice. Found a new job, so baby plans KIV-ed.

Hi foodie,
Isnt that good news that there's nothing wrong with you?
But you can let Dr Loh know you don't want to waste anymore time and just embark straight to IVF program?

Gals,
Just to update, I have no progress for these 2 continuous months. Follicle not growing into good mature size for this cycle again! Stop growing half-way. So discouraging, but Prof. Wong comment it is normal. It is a good natural selection, follicle stops growing if it is not in good quality.
Ask me to try again next cycle. Sob... Why is it so hard for me!

Dr Loh suggestion makes me think twice to embark on iVF. But on the other hand, if it can happen should have happened long time ago right...
Hopefully this cycle strike then no need to be so fan

Foodieshare and Kate,
Yes, I was with 50mg of clomid this cycle already. Prof. Wong wanted to to prescribe me with the same dose again for my next cycle! I requested him to increase the dose for me! Obviously 50mg of Clomid don't work for me! I was quite surprise to hear his intension on staying at the same dosage! But I don't know if I am stressing up myself or not. I don't wish to experience another cycle of anovulatory. Haiz... Prof. Wong was good enough to grant my wish to put me on 100mg of clomid for my next cycle. Haiz... don't know what is the outcome next month. Hope it will help in my ovulation.
Foodieshare,
I think there must be a reason on why Dr. Loh ask you to try naturally for 6 months? If I were you, maybe I will shorten the trying period like 3 months? If nothing happen in this 3 months then I will proceed with whatever I have planned?
Sigh, I think stress is the main culprit! I know I am stressing myself on this TTCing, but I just can't find a way to release the hidden stress in me. It is no good for our long term health too. How I hope I can totally don't think about getting conceive, but I really want to have my own kids.
Star,
Hi, how are you there? Back to work? Seen KKH gynea for consultation already? Hope things going well there.

Hi Heather,
I'm good.
Back at work. Will be seeing KKH doc this coming Saturday and see what he has to say.
How long have you been on Clomid? I understand your frustration.
Do you have time to go for a short holiday? Help you to relax and take your mind off this TTC biz for a bit. Or have a staycation and enjoy room service!
Foodieshare,
I agree with Heather, maybe try naturally for a couple of months first? I guess nothing is really wrong with either you or hubs, that's why Dr Loh suggested that?
Tambourina,
Hug hug back! My notice period is also 2 months, so sian! In the midst of looking for something else so dunno how to proceed with ttc also. :\
I'm good.

Hihi
Think the job mkt is good now, many people are changing jobs.
I have thought of it too, but because of ttc, plan on hold.
I hope I can get preggy fast and move on.
Ttc kind of limit my pay now, I can't change job and my pay increment last year is so pathetic.
I still dunno what I am going to do yet. Hopefully get preggy this cycle and not 'fan' anymore.
Heather
I think u need to relax. Find something else to occupy your thoughts like GSS now, go buy whatever you like to make yourself happy and then your ovaries will be happy to produce nice eggs next cycle.

Hi all,
I am really devasted cos i went thru 5 times of IUI with stages of taking clomid, (maximum) injections to induce ovulation. The biggest egg size i manage to get is only 23mm which is considered the most desirable this time round, thus pinning high hope for this month since my hubby would like to have a rabbit baby to be.. But, i encountered spotting few days ago until today, my menses came... ~haiz.. tats bad news.. i really dun know how to break this bad news to him. He will definitely feel very disappointed...
No rabbit baby to be, fine! But what have i done wrong to deserve THIS?! What is the next step i should take? To continue IUI? Or proceed with IVF ?(which is least preferred due to the tremondous pressure cum $$) Change gynae? Change to TMC? Or any other choices? Please advise...

Hi sunnyday,
i just failed my SOIUI too. I'll continue to see TCM at EYS cos my cycle became regular after taking the medicine prescribed by Dr Xia Rong.
Meanwhile, looking into fengshui too... ppl might think that i'm superstitious but i think there is no harm trying anything since I'm desperate to have a bb.
Don't be discouraged. I think it is best to discuss with your hubby on your next step.
