Ya, I had bloating for like 3-4 days. The first day I slept almost whole day. I think 100+ will really help with your bloating.I feel so bloated now. Hard to sit up straight so keep lying down plus must lie side way.
Will drink more water and 100+ hopefully the bloatness can gone soon.
Today’s wait from the lab is the most nerve wrecking. From yesterday’s update, I already have 1 frozen Day 5 blastocyst, but there are 2 more growing and they want to give it another day. I prayed all day that we get at least 1 more to go.
Lab called at 5.30pm to inform that I have 1 more which made it. Praise God! I am feeling so thankful now. Thanks for all the support and positive vibes here
Beside food, I think u need to mentally relax as well. Cause the stress and anxious not good for body. You can try going slow walk daily after dinner to relax and as a form of exercise too.I now have to prepare my body for the fet. I am thinking weekly acupuncture, daily eggs and avocados, fish at least every other day and nuts perhaps? Any other suggestion to prep my body?
wah that’s very good numbers!!Finally the embryoist call. Out of 28 follicle retrieve yesterday, only 22 got eggs. And manage to fertilise 21 egg.
Now they need to monitor the growth of the cell. Must wait till Monday then got result.
They worry I got OHSS say might freeze it.
Need to wait till Monday and check on me before decide.
But good thing is after drinking lots of 100plus today morning the bloating gone. Except last night keep waking up run toilet to pee.
Now trying to eat more egg whites hopefully body can recover soon.
you can do a bit of yoga if that’s something you like? only gentle yoga like yin yoga or restorative yoga can be good. or if you prefer at-home practice, search on youtube for fertility yoga. i also did fertility massages every other week. it’s not necessary but was very calming to know that my womb is in the correct position etc. i loved my weekly acupuncture sessions, super relaxing! i did it at the TCM at NUH, the physician will do acupuncture sessions to strengthen lining and all that.I now have to prepare my body for the fet.

Ya that quite alot. Now crossing my fingers that it can make it into good grade embryoswah that’s very good numbers!!
Wow kkh allows husband to go in and observe the ER?Mine is under Dr Yong. I went into deep sleep, so I don't really feel it. You can feel the nurses expedited to make sure everything is within 36hr from my last jab.
My hubby when in with me to see the whole procedure. What he told me, they put the probe ultrasound in then use a very thin needle to suck.
Dr is very good and explain to him what is on the ultrasound screen.
When finish procedure they will wake u up ensure u r ok, then send u to recovery room to sleep.
Before go home they give me a HCG jab and now need to eat medicine 3times a day to ensure the uterus is ready for egg transfer.
Nope, husband can only wait outside the at the reception area. Once u wake up from the surgery, the nurse will call ur hubby to pick u up in ard an hr time.Wow kkh allows husband to go in and observe the ER?

Mine is done at SGH. But they must make sure hubby dare to see. Cause they say ever got husband go in, when they start, the husband cant take it n faint. Make their work tedious.Wow kkh allows husband to go in and observe the ER?

are you doing medicated or natural FET?
medicated means less stress for you, just need to focus on growing nice and thick lining. acupuncture should be able to help you with this...Doing medicated because my cycle is irregular. Mind sharing where you do your massages? I love massages in general
My next scan is on Monday! So excited. I just started Orangultran injections today and that one hurt; my belly is all reddish now.
Do you know if your husband will be waiting for you at the hospital during your ER? Or will he only come pick you up after you’re discharged? Still unsure what to tell my husband to do haha
I had my Ovidrel on 23rd and I just had my ER today. Only 6 oocytes extracted. Probably due to my age. Not sure how many are matured. My ET is planned this sat, to be updated again. Praying very hard that I can have at least an embryo to transfer.
My hb waited for me at one of the cafes. More comfortable than the reception area. Can be quite boring for him if he didn’t have anything to do.

Hi ladies!
I'm new here, stumble across this thread and find it helpful. I'm going for my IVF counseling on this coming Friday at NUH. Abit nervous and do not know what to expect. I'm with Prof Wong at NUH and failed 3 iui. Both me and DH are 27 but unfortunately we have that they called an unexplainable infertility hence we have to go for IVF. Is there a WhatsApp group chat for this group?
So tomorrow is trigger? How many eggs are growing?Three years back, my hubby was diagnosed with low morphology. We tried IUI once but failed.
Took TCM for 1 year and after stopping the tcm for abt 2 mths, we went back to the same doc to consult on IVF.
Apparently, my follicles count increases and there is no fibroids detected. We decided to go ahead with the IVF in March when my menses came.
Was prescribed with Gona F and Menupur from D1 and an additional daily jab of Centrotide from D8 onwards. However, maybe due to age, the detected follicle counts did nt really reach the ideal std number to be retrieved yet. The doc suggested to extend 1 more day to collect more follicles.
I was quite worried that not all follicles collected will contain eggs but the doc tried to encourage n most follicles will contain eggs unless I m diagnosed with empty follicle symptoms.
For the trigger, the doc prescribed decapeptyl jabs. My ab is in great pain after this injection, which I did not encounter for the other few earlier injections....now waiting for 2 more days for my ER ...
Seems like for every stage of IVF, there are new things to worry about... Now I m scared that my egg quality is not good since I hv not been taking regular supplements before this and we have stopped TCM for 2 mths.

Lab just called to update on Day 3 results. No change to previous day’s result which i think is great news:
5 good quality
1 average quality
1 below average
Do these indicators (“good”, “average”, “below average”) follow some sort of scientific / national standard? Would be grateful if anyone can share some insight.
Out of many eggs I've gotten, all were bad qualities except 2 which made it so far.
So KKH doctor advised me to insert 2 even though I just wish to have only 1 inserted.
So I decided to listen to doctor's advise..to put 2.
1 good quality 1 average = both made it.

Hi 88berries,
Both made it = twins? Will like to Congrats to you first.
I was called back by my doc to perform ET for 2 D2 embryos today. Grade 4 and grade 3. Out of the 6 follicles retrieved only 5 are matured eggs then only 3 fertilised, with two still growing on D2. Tough decision to transfer 1 or 2. Doc says no point waiting till d5 since I’m left with 2 embryos. I hesitated to transfer one and let the other continue to grow in the lab. But I’m afraid I might lose it.
In the end I transferred both. Blood test on 12th. Praying v hard for my beanies to stick well.
Did u opt for Frozen Embyro Transfer or Fresh Transfer initially? May I know how old are you?

We got the 1st call from the hosp today.
Out of 16 follicles retrieved, 13 r fertilized. It was informed that the quality of 2 fertilized eggs are not good and they may be dropping out of the race...
Hope there will be some good quality ones to surivive till D5.
Mt E embryologist called me at 9am plus to inform our D2 progress...
Only 1 embryo divides into 4 cells and 2 divides into 2 cells atm. These 3 are of average quality. The rest are of below average quality.
Anyone knows if the embyro grading can go up over the days? *sad*
Let’s hope they continue to grow. You need only 1 good one to succeed. Don’t worry too much. Take one step at a time.Mt E embryologist called me at 9am plus to inform our D2 progress...

Hello all, I am new here.
Thanks for sharing all the stories about ivf journey. I hope I can also share my ivf journey with you all. Mostly all of you are doing your ivf at KKH/NUH but I done mine at a private hospital.
Just a short introduction, I am 37yo this year and I had 1 cycle of egg retrieval and did 3 times of ivf frozen transfer. This year is my 4th years of ivf journey, 1st transfer we only made it to 6 weeks and later did a D&C. 2nd transfer was not pregnant at all. 3rd transfer was on 26 Feb 2019, now I am 7th weeks of pregnant and thanks god that we finally made it on our last embryo (grade 4BB, after LAH become grade 5BB). It was a really great news for us.
If you have any question, I am happy to answer! Cheers and don’t give up!
