Hello old & new buddies!
The traffic is getting busier here. Great that everyone is doing good and still fighting fiercely! Jia you, jia you!
Since I came back from holiday, I was sicked like a dog. I have no mood to do anything, very lazy and lethargic. Yesterday went to NUH for my first pre-natal check-up, both Dr Stephen Chew and Dr Arundhati were very happy. Afterall, they were the one who performed IUI for me.
I sincerely hope all of u here will strike and break away from the IUI cycle soon
Baby dust to all of you

Hi ladies
Hope everyone is good.
Well my IUI for this month has been cancelled as my AF reported on day 20....it even suprised Dr Chew bec no one had such experience. I already inject myself for the past 14 days and according to him it is IVF standard. So now i have to report again after my next AF which will be around Sep. Hmmm disappointed but life has to carry on.
hope things get better next cycle.
Baby dust to all

Cherrie,
Yes, I will be going for my 3rd IUI with taking clomid on my coming cycle! Now waiting for AF to report and start my TTCing schedule again! Expect my Af to report by this thursday. I think our cycle are quite close, let's work hard together!
Dragonhopes,
How's your follicle scan? Hope they continue to grow big and round!
BBtaurus,
Mind telling us who are you seeing? Where was your cyst and what size? Your doctor ask you to remove? I have ovarian cyst, consulted 2 gynea, both of them say no need to remove for my case.
SO stands for superovulation. Superovulation (SO) is the use of fertility drugs to stimulate two to three ovarian eggs and bring them to maturation so chances of conception are increased. Normally it works with a combination of oral drug follow by injections depending on the follicle grow rate.
I have tried 2 times of IUI, 1st one on natural and second one with help of taking oral drug - clomid to help me on my ovulation.
What is your follicle size on your CD12? Hope you have a smooth smooth IUI progress there.
BabySeetoh,
Hope you feeling better now. Will you be staying with Dr. Stephen Chew throughout your pregnancy? I hope this BFP good luck will continue to spread arounf in this forum and all the TTCing sisters here will get BPF like you soon! hehe...

Need to refrain from sex before or after iui?
Thanks! Wish u gd news soon too.

BBtaurus,
My cyst is about 2cm, and doctor say no need to remove it, since it does not affect me much.
HB and I refrain from sex for at least 4 days before the IUI to build up his troop's volume. And it is also recommended to BD after your IUI to increase your conceive chance. Jia you ah!

BBtaurus,
Do you still have menses cramp after removing the cyst? Actually I have menses cramp too, sometime can be quite bad also! So desperate to get pregnant! So that I no need to go through the pain every month! Sob...
Tong Le,
Sometime I will just tell my boss and colleague that I need to take time off for seeing doctor. But one thing lucky is that, my work place is near to NUH. Normally I can reach office latest by 9.30am. About 30minuts late for work so my boss also close one eye. Hehe... but sometime will still feel stressful to rush here and there too.
What is your update there?

I did the jab on my tummy, it's the ideal place and painless
All the best on your Fri IUI. Remember to abstain from BD with HB and rest if you can after your IUI on Fri. Not forgetting to keep BD on Fri onwards
Stay cool and relax. Baby dust to you!

Hi Riccin,
You only did 1 IUI+Clomid so far? When I failed my 1st IUI, I was like you, lost of direction for a while and kept asking lots of questions why it failed. There're alot of factors, don't waste your energy to think about the cause. I've read that some tried for 7th IUI then hit the jackpot, some tried IUI + IVF and at the end they got preggie on their own.
What you need to do now is to prepare your body for the next cycle and have a positive approach k! Do consider TCM and acupuncture before taking your last resort for IVF.
Best of luck

Heatherwhite,
Are you doing IUI for this cycle? How's your progress? Got buy a new bowl or not? Soon will be your turn to get preggie, don't be kancheong k!
I don't think Dr Chew would be my gynae as I'm a subsidised patient, so I'll only see whoever doctors on duty. As much as I would love to have my baby delivered in NUH as I find the govn hospital service is comparable to private. But after waiting here and there and collecting med from pharmacy really wasted alot of time in a day. Do you think i should go private hospital, like TMC? FYI, NUH only have either 6 or 8 bedded (So cramp!)
Still thinking...

Cherrie, bbtaurus,
The bowl theory was shared by one of the forumer, Rollybear. She heard that there was a traditional believe where you buy a new bowl (rice bowl or anything) home, as if there's a "new" family member. Of course, must also use the bowl for makan frequently.
Cherrie,
I have signed up for a hospital maternal tour to check out the facility. But the form only indicated 6/8-bedded, never mentioned 1,2/4bedded choice. Will see how. Thanks!

My menses has never been this short....i usually take around 35 to 40 days at times. My Menses can be super irregular. I still wondering why i had menses so fast on day 20. I have never tried TCM......is the medicine bitter?
Right now i am just taking my time and relaxing as its my fasting month, i am also very tired and have less energy....maybe its a blessing in disguise tat i didn't get Pregnant this month as it would have been tough on me.
Lets hope next month would be a better month
Anyway i have also bought a new bowl last month hehehe
Babyseetoh
How long u been TTC? and can i know wat was the size of your eggs on D7 and D10? Did u take any special food for the egg to grow big? According to Dr Chew there is no special food and ask me to cut down on eating since i am obese.

bbtaurus,
My first IUI:
CD11 13mm follicle (without clomid)
CD13 Ovidrel Jab
CD15 IUI
Second IUI:
CD12 21mm (with clomid)
CD12 Ovidrel jab
CD14 IUI
Don't worry too much whether you ovulated before the jab, that's beyond our control. Just relax and do as told by dr, they know what they are doing
Don't think so much k.

Alimgirl,
I have TTC for 1.5 years, btw I'm 36 and worry of running out of time. Part of your question is answered above. I never take any special food for egg grow. If I'm not wrong, I read somewhere about Brazilian nuts (google it!)
BTW what's your BMI? Try to start with some light exercises eg walking and eat the right food to control your calories intake. It goes a long way, esp if you're preggie.
Tune your body for a better condition for the following month yeah. Eat well and rest well!

Hi Cherrie,
I'm doing acupuncture too. I won't say it's painless but it's bearable. Sometimes it's more numb feel than pain.
Hi Iwannababe,
Thanks. Let's work hard!!
My gynae ok to give me mc. But i'm not working at the moment so I can't help you on that question.
Tml going iui and now I feeling tired and sudden flu. Hope i won't affect the end result.

Hi iwannababe, welcome
When I did my iui in kkh, I need to go for scan every alternate days. So I have to tell 1 of my colleague who cover me that I will be late some days. No choice for me as I need to go alternate day. Where r u going for your iui? Is it at nuh? I think nuh not so frequently right?

I went for scannig yesterday. I only got 1 folicle on my right with 20mm. The left side is only 10mm.
My 2nd IUI is tomorrow. Hope that is a chance for this cycle. I am trying to tell myself dont give myself too much pressure.
My boss start to unhappy because too often to take time off or half day leave. He keeps question me what reason I need to see doctor and he say is unfair to others and the company. Ai...Dont know what to do. I think cannot change job now also.
Iwannababe,
I dont think NUH give MC for the scanning but they will give 1 day MC on the IUI day.

Today is CD11. I will with 150mg of clomid that why the follicle grow well. I try 50mg and 100mg before but that is not work for me.
Normally follicle will grow 2mm in 2 days. The ideal size is 18mm so I think you no need to worry. Enjoy your 2wws.

Hi Tong Le,
Gd luck for ur IUI today! Having mine probably next mon or tues or even wed, depending on how well my follicle grow. Well, guess I will also be caught in the same situation for the answering part for being away so often! Worst still, there's some impt mtgs during those days which I am not suppose to missed! Don't feel like telling my boss abt my SO-IUI and still trying to cook out some excuses...

*sign* went for my scan just now and found out follicle only grow to 14mm. In fact, only 1 follicle left coz the other didnt grow much. Doc suggest to abort IUI this mth and go for it next mth. Can u imagine the frustration after 11 days of injection? Just couldn't understand why it grew so poorly this mth, despite the injections...
Sometimes I wonder why there are so many unwanted pregnancies or some can abandon babies but ppl like us who want babies so much yet have to go through so much to have them... When is our turn?

I can understand the frustration. Go thru all the jab and still cant proceed. Tat day gp heard i got flu, also suggested i go next mth instead. I was disappointed. Luckily my gynae said it's ok.
Dont be sad. Is there anything to eat to improve the quality of egg? Will still have ovulation? Possible to try on own? Sorry for asking so many questions.
I agreed with you. Saw from tv an adopted gal, she's so sweet, wonder why her own parents dont want her.

Hi kymberly, Is the needle same for puregon? I do not inject gonal f, mine is puregon. If is same, I do have spare ones.
Hopeful, we all can understand your frustration . Dun be despair, maybe there is other ways. Like bbtaurus say, try natural?or maybe your ovaluation is late?
I totally agreed with you all on those who get
Conceive easily n yet abandon the kid. Ppl like us is trying so hard
