Yes i started injection on 3rd day, which is today. i also have low egg reserve. But it really depends on doctor's treatment and decision, have faith and baby dust to you! =)
It's normal. Light flow they dont considered as first day.
Hmm. I got my light flow in the afternoon for my recent cycle and called the clinic. They only asked if it was spotting. Mine was obvious flow but not heavy. Then next day I started my blood work and meds. Day 2 was super heavy flow.
Different instructions by different people I guess

Mine was on 3rd day with Dr Roland Chieng. He said anyway between day 2 to 4. Dr Tan JS from ivf bridge told me day 2 to 5. So I feel day 3 is good.
i was quite upset that i only have 2 embryo fertilized and only 1 embryo freezed successfully; so i went on to googled how to improve embryo quality, and found out that this supplement Glutathione might help, so i just want to share this here. I have consulted my doctor though, she said it's ok to add this supplement.

Anyone experienced this and how long did you have to wait before starting an IVF?

Today, 9dp5dt, 3 days before I’m due for my beta, I have pinkish discharge and cramps. Have not felt much for the last few days.
Feels like pre-menstrual symptoms.
What does this mean?
According to my calendar, if I’m not on medication, today would have been the first day of my period. My period is like clockwork. Always punctual.
Feeling very unwell now.

Thats so gd.. I feeling lethargic n waking up few times in the night...
Could b gd news. Be patient.. All will b well
Did not experience this myself but I did take a month’s off after my failed iui. The clomid was messing me up too much. I was so devastated and tired after that.
I should clarify that by not feeling much, I meant when compared to my iui cycle on clomid. But just after the trigger shot, there were some cramps and sharp pain plus spotting, almost like as though some of the follicles burst and released an egg before day of ER.
Of cos, after ER, there’s also some slight discomfort. There was a period of time at the start of ET where I was unable to sleep due to some cramping and sore boobs. But nothing major compared to the stupid hot flushes from clomid.
A lot of details now. Hopefully useful. But ya, when on orgalutran, I felt nothing.

Hello everyone,
We started on our IVF journey from June this year. First IVF cycle at KKH with Dr Sadhana started in late Oct.. I have low ovarian reserve, removed a polyp in Sept, partial blockage of both fallopian tubes.
Out of 9 follicles, only 7 eggs were extracted on egg retrieval day (Thurs). Out of these, only 4 were matured and thru ICSI, were inseminated with my husband's sperm.
The next day (Fri), clinic called to say none of the eggs were fertilised. However, one of the remaining eggs started maturing so we came down to give another fresh sample. We knew that eggs which mature late are of sub par quality but they were striving to save this cycle.
Sat, Dr called to say that last egg failed to be fertilised. Reason was all the eggs of this cycle were of poor quality. She also said there is no sure proven way to improve egg quality as egg quality remains largely dependent on age (I'm 37 yo) and ovarian reserves. However, she assured that each cycle is different and so we should try again in Jan 2020. This is to give my ovaries a break and a chance to heal from the numerous injections and egg retrieval surgery.
We are utterly disappointed.

I also have low ovarian reserve. They scanned only 9 foliciles and only 2 growing well inside me so far. I'm 35. Really hoping my other eggs will grow to the correct size too.
Dont be too disappointed. I know surely will be disappointed but it's just not the time yet. If you are still ok to try again, be positive and try. And when it's time, you future baby will come. Rest and recuperate well, eat healthy, drink more water, to try to achieve better egg quality. Be strong
hi, I’m 40yo and have low ovarian reserve too, each cycle is different, my first ER have 2, where I didn’t go through the full injection cycle. second which is in process now all growing too slowly despite having full injection to stimulate, going back to see doc again today for further instructions. Some advise from my doc for eggs to grow; eat healthy, must have enough and good quality sleep, drink lots of water and supplements.
I know it’s difficult but you have to relaxed and don’t feel stress about this, cos stress is bad and can’t help anything.
have faith and don’t give up! Baby dust to us!

Good morning ladies ❤
Thank you @Winter99 and @Vonnieyn for sharing your experiences and kind words.
You know, when I started on this journey, I assume all IVF doctors will sit you down and offer advices on how to prepare your body for IVF, when to start preparing, which supplements to take etc. After my 5 months with KKH, I realised that my friends who had attentive and supportive doctors were those who went to private clinics. I guess this is what we get for going to a subsidised public hospital. I learnt more about everything through support groups like these and the internet. We simply cannot afford paying so much. The co funding really helps us out.
With partially blocked tubes, and poor egg quality, we have little hope of conceiving naturally but we will try.
Baby dust to all ❤

The relationship between fertility and egg quality
The true driver of fertility is egg quality, and the decline in egg quality is a natural, inevitable result of age.

A good read on co relations between age and egg quality.

The current doctors in KKH and KKIVF never once mentioned when to start preparing your body, how and what supplements to look out for. This article has a good graph explaining when the follicles grow..
