star_baby, thank you for the info and big congratualtion to you
Do rest well and take care. Any additional things you did when you try naturally? so share with us
BTW, is it a must to take the 2 weeks hospitalisation leave after egg retrieval?
bbtauraus, i am thinking to go IVF or not, dun feel nice to take so many days leave.

Congrats Chomp!! My EDD is end March, I'm guessing yours should be earlier?
Heatherwhite, you are still as optimistic as before, that's so wonderful.
Really hope that everyone is successful soon.
Cherrie,
I was actually seeing Dr Xia Rong immediately after my IVF in May. It was in the middle of the second round of TCM that I conceived. Maybe it was TCM? We also saw a fengshui master and made some changes to the orientation of the house. Dunno if it's coincidental but we struck a few weeks after.
It's good to take the HL after egg retrieval...cos you will be sedated for ER and the sedation can take a couple of days to wear off. If you don't want to, can don't take the full 2 weeks but make sure you are rested after ER and egg transfer.

Not too sure about Dr Xia's schedule, just call EYS TCM clinic at Paragon and ask. Her charges are not cheap, each round of meds for me at least $250. I had to boil herbs everyday in addition to drinking powdered medicines.
My 7 rounds of IUI were done with two different doctors.
Usually doctors will advise you to stop after 3 to 4, I switched to a fertility specialist for a second opinion after my first gynae told me it's hopeless, I cannot conceive without IVF. Mine were Clomid IUIs.
Cherrie,
Egg retrieval will be done under sedation but egg transfer is not. ET is just like IUI, you will be awake and you can even see the embryo being placed back into your womb through the ultrasound. Quite cool!

Thanks dragonhopes, I did my IUI on cd13 (20/8). I didn't take my BBT because I don't want to make myself stress. But I got strong PMS feel until now so don't dare to test now.

Tong Le,
What PMS feeling you have? Read from online that pregnancy feelings can be quite similar to PMS feeling most of the time. Stomach feeling crampy? tender breast? Feeling tire? hehe... feeling excited for you here. keke...
CD 13 + 16 = CD28, you are on CD28 today? If you want you can just do a test since is DPO16 already. If you don't feel comfortable to test it now, you can also wait for few more days until CD35 (your normal CD cycle length). Cos HCG level also will be higher by tt time, clearer result would have shown. Another indication is to take your BBT, high hope if it is remain high. Or you want to call yr doctor to check on when can you do the test? Fingercross for you too!

Tong le, we all understand how you feel. Like heatherwhite say, we shall keep a positive mind. We will all pray for u.
Mono, welcome. Success rate for so-iui is 15% according to my doc in kkh. We do have successful case here too
do not think of the rate as will only add in more stress for yourself. Just have faith

Kymberly,
It ranges from 21 days to 28 days (depending on whether I have been good and eating the medicines daily heh). I was lucky, when I called to make an appointment with Dr Xia the very first time, she was scheduled to be in Singapore the week after. And subsequently, I would make my next appointment after each consultation.
Cherrie,
Good luck! Will you be doing it with a private doctor or KKH?
Tong Le,
I kept thinking I was getting my period soon when I conceived. So there is still chance! I was crampy, had tender breasts and backache. And I had mood swings too. Fingers crossed!

Star_baby, I m doing my ivf at kkh next month. Quite worry abt the schedule. Not sure when to take leave. Don't wish to tell my colleagues y I m taking leave but look like no choice.
On another note, do you visit dr xia Rong just for medicine or she did accupunture for u too?

Thanks, really appreciate it!
Hi all,
Actually i have a question on exercise, esp. to those who have succeeded from IUI,hope u can help me with this. Do u all exercise while undergoing the IUI process? Coz my doc actually advise against it but she only mention when i ask. So not so sure if it's an impt. point. I thought exercising will help. Hope to get some views here. Thanks!

Megafaith, i would think exercise is always good in anyway
just do not over do it. But i did not do any exercise for my last 2 SO-IUI. Not sure is it the reason y i fail the 2 times, but really no time due to work.
Tong Le, how are you now? hope you will bring good news for us

Hi Ladies,
I am a frequent follower for this thread... didnt really post anything here coz i have yet to undergo any treatment..
Me and hubby trying to conceive for the past 1 year but no result.. I personally had a PCO problem so we went to a private specialist for help.. went for the past 3-4 months, in the end doc ask us to try ourself...
At first the doc concentrate checking on me... everything went smoothly.. when we thought we are going for the next phase which is so-iui... she said she needs to check on my husband.. in the end hubby's sperm result turns to be negative... i got abit shock & disappointed..there goes our plan... she prescribe 2 months of supplement for my hubby... so wasted another 2 months... of coz in between we tried but no result too...
Recenlty - in fact is last week (after the 2 months) hubby went for a check again.. this time the result is good but still got room for improvment. Anyway is already a good news to us, so we thought this time we can start doing so-iui. But she told me PCO is not recommended to do so-iui plus i dont react to clomid so is diffcult and could be wasted to do. At that time of point my excitment went to minus zero.. After all this months than she start to tell me all this... she ask us to give it a try for 3 months if still can't we will go and look for her.. she suggest IVF will be a better chance for me but she want us to try first. I felt so dishearted whenever i am ready she just smash my dreams away.. i am ready to get pregnant i will bear whatever it takes.. even though is IVF... i know IVF will be a very tough journey but my mind is set.. Anyway both of me & my hubby felt that she is not really into treating us. So we decided to get a second opinion.. we have make a appt at SGH with Dr Yu Su Ling.. Hope this time round i can get real help.. btw does any here seeing Dr Yu from SGH? Need to get advice here. Thanks...

Lady_chris,
After reading your post, it's sure a smart move to seek second opinion.
Some doctors may not be professional or sensitive enough to understand each and individual issues. Some even go for the quick fix and money (IVF!)
Let's see what the SGH doctor has to say and share the news with us.
Cheer up k! *Hughugs*

Megafaith,
I have been exercising 3 times a week for the past 1 year doing yoga, pilates and cardio+weight training. I spent my time exercising mainlt is to keep myself busy, de-stress and keep healthy all at the same time.
I'm 8weeks preggie thru IUI+Clomid by now. I only stopped exercise after knowing i'm preggie and basically i dont havw much energy these days.
From past, i didnt really forced myself on working out on my abs, as long as you dont push yourself to the limit, it should be ok. I just do some light stretching for a few days after IUI.
What I can say is to follow your gut feel
Hope you find this useful.

hugs hugs Megafaith,
only god knows the reason. Even IVF also not 100% successful. That's caused by implantation failure. As for IUI, maybe troops dont meet egg, maybe meet but egg cannot hatch.
I really wish to know i do not have all this knowledge and get pregnant happily and easily..sigh! why me

Sometimes there're no specific answer to our questions. Don't keep thinking of finding a reason to it. Re-collect yourself, eat and rest well to prepare a stronger body for your next battle k!
Sorry, no recommendation on Mt E gynae.
