Same here. I am feeling cramp then sometime like got discharge the feeling. . I think if my iui does not work then I will just move on to ivf. Iui I think can have a few cycle, but if failed I will just move on as I don't want to wait too long. Btw you are seeing which Dr? Mine is Dr S.

Opted as subsidise case, no fix gynae yet.
 
I should have do that to save some costs. Although I am with Dr S, I only see her during the initial consultation . During the iui process, it was other doctors who attended to me. So really wasted of a cost as under Dr S is private rate.

IUI is still under private class (no diff), is the blood test and other consultation before and after would be going back to Clinic D.

Also because this would be my 3rd pregnancy so just want to save cost. =P The first 2 was much younger and was naturally conceived.

Actually 3, but my first pregnancy of twins both ended with severe autism. Waited for 7 years before dare to try for another. Then waited for another 5 years, ensure the younger one is okay before trying for 4th one. If not in future my 2 elder ones would be quite tedious and 3rd child would be very lonely. But after trying for a year plus, no news. So want to resort to IVF but doc wants me to try IUI first.

One of my friends who has a special needs child says she have to give birth to 3 so that 2 help one. Then I say, "wah...like that I must give birth to 6...." LOL~

1. IUI - I rem reading somewhere that need BD on that day n next day? Am I rite? what if we do not BD? chances to get BFP is it v slim?

2. SO-IUI - whats the difference between IUI & SO-IUI

3. IVF - by reading some of the posts here, lots of injects and scanning to be done? one the day retrieve follicles, den we will wait the gynae to inject in to our body? den after that it will be 2WW le rite? so no BD to be done at all rite?

BD after IUI should increase the chance, but think before cannot.

Injections to boost hormones, scanning to see ovaries and linings ready or not, should be same for IUI & IVF.

Differences not sure.

Yah, I'm secretly hoping would be #4 & #5 but now still waiting for news. Lol~ but should be enough even if is only #4. Too costly to raise kids in city country.
 
To me the ER process is a painful one. I was so drowsy but i can feel the pain so hard.

Retrieve 15 eggs. Sat will be ET. But before that needs to take BT to see if i got ohss.

What should i do these 2 days? I don't hope to get ohss and end up can't do the ET...

Now still feeling cramp here and there...

Hi to all Sister here..
I'm new to this forum.. I find this forum is interesting and is a kind of good support and can share abt the experience for IUI/IVF.
I have done my IVF two years ago but did not success. So now I'm starting all over again for the fresh cycles as I do not have any eggs left from previous IVF.

@meilingg , wow congrats to you as that's a lot of eggs. Me only manage to retrieve 8 eggs but end up only left 2 to use. :'(

Hi pupnui, oh how come last time you never go for iui and straight to ivf? Doc advised you based on your condition? Maybe you can see the doctor and review first. You are with kkh?

Hi LynnCandy, yes, I'm with KKH under refer from polyclinic. The doc let me choose between IUI and IVF so I choose IVF cos he say my HB sperm count is low so if I do IUI will not success. Next tue will see for the doc and arrange for next IVF.

@meilingg.. All the best to yr ET..
ET is not painful if yr dr do well just like Pap smear..
B4 ET, drink more more water as they need to scan fm the tummy too...
ER is very painful n I can feel thing poking u although u r drowsy...
 
The 'pain' felt @ ET is as the sisters here shared, like Pap smear where they need to use some instrument to open up down there. :p

Remember to drink before gg down, as it is important to have full bladder...

All the best, it will be good!

@meilingg: ET not as painful, especially if your dr is careful. Will not be sedated and after ET can go home immediately.

Yup ER was far more painful than anything...
 
Morning ladies... The forum was down for a short while yesterday and about evening time can really smell the Haze very strongly. Drink more water and have a good weekend ahead.
 
i already had 3 times IUI in NUH with Steven Chew ,but failed. i was told catheter couldn't insert into my cervical neck due to it is very tight. we are very sad.... and was told may need a surgery to expand the cervical neck.

anyone has this problem and how did u solve it?? very tired about this , wake up at morning 5am when thinking about it.... :(

Hi all,Need some advice here. Yesterday reviewed w my doc, seem like my lining is thicker than usual, she suggesting to freeze the embryos this time round and go for hysterosopy. I do not know should I freeze the embryo or shd I go straight w the transfer. I heard that thaw cycle have lower chance than fresh.. Really put in a lot of hope to this IVF but now seem like I cannot make it.. :(
 
Tinga, fresh or frozen have their pros and cons. Don't worry too much. Think of it this way if you proceed this fresh with very thick lining and fail you will have to go through a frozen cycle too. Frozen cycle have successful cases too. Sometimes body hormones too many due to fresh may not be good too. For thaw cycle it works the same as fresh only obstacle the embryos must survive the thAw. But if it's a strong embryo nothing can stop it.
 
Have brown blood discharged. Thinking this cycle likely is fail one...sad sad...feel like mensus coming...woooo...
