Hi everyone. I'm quite new here. Was doing some online reading about SOIUI, coz I'm doing it tomoro. Don't know what to expect. Can you all tell me more about it?
Welcome yap!
Hm.. Tomorrow you are doing iui? Iui is a quick process.. Just afew minutes and you are done.. Rest on the bed for awhile and you can go off already.. you completed all your jabs/clomid already?
Oh ya.. Remember to have a full bladder for the process..
Good luck!

Saralyn, oic. but PMS r similar to pregnancy symtoms leh. like i said, dont despair as long as u dont see red.
may i ask u wat BBT range is considered high range? last time my BBT was always 36.3 or below. considered liang type but recently i switched to a new TCM. my body becomes warm after taking a few dosages of her medicine. since then my BBT always hovers ard 36.6 to 37+. last nite, i was feeling so heaty that i thot i'm falling sick soon. i think the tcm is taking the effect to warm my womb bah

oh dear Saralyn. sorry to hear abt this.
soemtimes we just hv to take things naturally, be stress free n u will strike. i'm not very 'hardworking' also in charting my daily BBT as i just wan to free myself from all the stress. i just take my BBT when I feel hot/heaty.
just remember never give up. though is easier said than done. i m sure GOD will decide when is the rite time to realise our wish

rainy: Sigh.. really don't know what is the next step.. i track my O every month n plan to bd around that period but month after month still see red at the end.. was really very upsetting.. Don't know is it because of me, or my dh or what..
during the start of my last cycle, i went to see my fertility doc and the first thing he asked "why not pregnant? sigh.. everything fell in the right place and right timing for you.."
I did a SO-natural with him in dec.. everything looked good.. my O is predicted at the right timing, my follicles size were good and bd at the right time as instructed by him.. but sadly it did not happened...
think i am going into depression soon..
Anyway, rainy & all the ladies, Jiayou k!!!!! I hope to read some good news from you all in here.

Saralyn, I accompany you into depression.... sob... this morning did a scan:
CD 16 - Right ovary 12 mm
CD 18 - Right ovary 13 mm (today's scan)
I could not help if but broke down. Cried like crazy at home just now. Eyes very tired now.... Doc said that if two more days, the follicles are not growing, we have to a b a n d o n IUI this cycle. Sigh... even proceeding to do IUI, there is an obstacle for me. I really dont know what to say...

Thanks alot dragon! So you going ahead with iui this cycle?
Peggy: I cried almost every month when I see red and when I know we tried our best..
Anyway, can it be late ovulation? Try to take the jabs too to stimulate the o faster?!? I think the jabs are really powerful.. I always got afew good follicles with jab..

Saralyn, NUH is not flexible and cannot anyhow give jab. I think they prefer me try it the next cycle.

Dragon, I took two egg whites since CD 12. Not much improvement... I will probably start acupuncture again.
Peggy: why don't go back to Dr Lim for your next cycle? He did ask you to go back during your next cycle right?
Personally, I feel Dr Lim is really very good.. Someone who knows what he is doing and will really monitor the growth of your follicles.. I went to him for plan A and B and he did a very accurate prediction of when my ovulation will be and I really ovulated during those dates..
His nurses are very nice too. Very encouraging when I did my iui. Non stop wishing me good luck and askin me to rest alot.. I was truly touched and encouraging by the nurses there.
But one thing is the cost. His charges is really quite high.. I paid 1.7k even tot I did not have much jabs.. I think he increases his price. When I was there in dec, he told me his iui is est. 1.5k.. Ivf is 16k..

Dragon: ok ok. Good luck to your new cycle. I will try for another iui for my next cycle. Give my body a rest from all the medication and my dh to have some fresh supply. He was sick afew weeks back and was on medication..
Did you go to pte gynea or public hospital for your iui?

Saralyn, I have to discuss with DH about going back to Dr Lim. He likes to prescribe clomid, which we dont like to take. And of course he is quite expensive too....
But I do agree that he knows what he is doing and he gives me the confidence. That is what scares me because he said that with DH's current condition, no point in doing IUI... sigh... Im thinking of waiting a few months to see if DH's condition improve. I dont know... will discuss with DH.

Peggy: yes! He always prescribe clomid(only the brand he used) + gonal f. I think I did ask him why he said he have tested with many diff brand of clomid, diff combi etc etc and this set of medication is the most effective..
Hm.. Gotta ask your dh to really watch his diet, takes the supplements regularly and 3 months time retake a test to see.. Hopefully it will be good result.. Don't give up.. Like what every girls in here said, it just need 1 healthy one..

Good Friday everyone! Hope everybody is doing fine.
Ha..ha..ha… Thanks Dian_Tang!
I went to a talk at Ren Ci hospital last night about overcoming negativity... I felt better now especially since yesterday morning, I had a break down because my follicle wasnt growing as it "should" be. Probably, let me share a bit about the talk and hopefully, it can help all of us here to be positive.
EXPECTATION
In life, we always have expectation... we should own a car. MRT should never breakdown. Bosses should give me a raise or promotion. We have to have a handsome and rich husband. We should have a dragon baby. I should have 18 mm follicle. But these "shoulds" are expectations that we put on our own shoulders. No body is forcing us to have a dragon baby. No body is forcing us to own a car. And who says that MRT cannot break down? Who says that bosses must be nice? And although doctor says that 18 mm is the best follicle size, it doesnt mean the end of the world if my follicle is not 18mm. I guess, the key to happiness and positive thinking is to do our best but expect nothing/little in return.
PURPOSE
Life is never a bed of roses. If it is, life is too predictable and it becomes meaningless. There has to be ups and downs. When we are faced with difficulties and obstacles, there are always lessons to be learned. We are all here faced with the obstacle of having our own child(ren). Life is probably teaching us a lesson: To never take our child(ren) for granted. To love our children better. To be a better mother in the future. As we all know, we always take for granted the things that we get too easily.
I’m just sharing my thoughts and hopefully, we can continue to support and encourage one another! Have a happy Friday!

thanks Peggy
It really helps !
I dont want to give myself and hubby lots of pressure from now on. My hubby being affected by me too. As I always ask him why, ask him to ensure he take the supplement everyday w/o fail. ask him dont take warm water shower.. bla bla..
I think I should take it easy. Life is still good I guess if after we tried our best and still failed. Important is we have hubby that love us, healthy body. Very true that ppl tend to have a lots of expectation. When u are single, ppl ask u went u want to find a bf. When u have bf, ppl ask u when u wanna get married. When u got married, ppl ask u when u want to plan your family. When u got kid, ppl ask how your is doing in school and start compare theirs with yours. bla bla.. actually who say that we MUST have all those. no one. We put pressure on our own.
Although above is quite true, but I will still try my best, at least I dont want to get myself regret when I am 40+ age that why I am not trying when I was 30+..

Hope you are doing great too at your side! And hope your AF doesn't come at all for the next 9 months!
Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Hi Claris
Thanks for inviting me to this thread. How are you doing? All the best for your appointment next Monday. Yes, both my IUIs are natural IUI.
Hi Everyone
This is my first time on this thread. I started TTC almost 1.5 years ago and I just did my 2nd IUI this month. I'm nearing the end of my 2WW now. I don't have any sign or feeling (as always). Trying not to obsess or think about it and stay positive.

Hi lil, stay positive and all would turn out fine. M also ending ww2 soon. Nothing special too... Enjoy the wkend
Thanks, Jessica! Yes, I have a much better frame of mind and attitude about TTC now compared to last year. Everything will happen in its own time. It's amazing how a change in mindset and positivity can do. The 2WW although feels a little faster, is still long! Ha ha! All the best to you too. When is your 2WW ending? Mine is around Thurs.
Hi Princessleopard
Sorry to hear about your mc. It's not easy but personally, I think it helps to have a plan. Discuss and agree with your husband about TTC (i.e. how long, how many times, etc) and then go for it. Try to let go of your worries and start afresh. Each cycle is a new start. Stay positive!
