Ivf 2022

[Hopeful87]

i think every foetus develops differently...i think can see waterbag and yolk sac is an achievement, dont worry and move on to the next milestone

thk u for the assurance.
i have been very worried since the scan ..
i am wondering is it they ask us too early in for a scan ..

now i am wondering how i have to keep myself less worried and gan jiong for the next two weeks..

this is worst den the tww.

 

[Hopeful87]

Every step, every stage is nerve cracking..

hhahah, i feel you. if this will make you feel better: My doc sent me too early for the scan and they couldnt find the fetal pole. I was a bag of nerves and kept searching for answers for the 2 weeks till the next scan.

Fortunately all turned out well and that little beanie that freaked me out is coming to 6 months.

i would think it's too intensive. for me, i wouldnt even think of going for a holiday during TWW....

Hi Towkayneo. Thanks a lot for your advice. Did you choose fresh transfer or frozen for first cycle? I know the freezing fee is not included in co-funding. If I choose to do frozen transfer the next month, will the yearly freezing fee be pro-rated/ reduced accordingly?

for first cycle, i was also a noob, so naturally i went along with what the doc said, fresh cycle, day 3. apparently it didnt work out. but luckily i had 6 embryos to try, so 1st fresh day 3 put in 2 embryos - failed, 1st frozen day 3 put in 2 embryos - failed. it was only the doc decided to blast it to day 4 that it was a success. got my 1st boy from that frozen day 4 cycle.

reduced accordingly, if you are talking about the freezing fee.

i would think that worrying right now cant help things...perhaps after 2 weeks you will get a more concrete answer. all you need to monitor now is to see if there is bleeding and perhaps if you really need to do something, you test on the hpt, see if the lines continue to be v dark, if touchwood, the lines will get fainter and fainter....

this is my 4th kid LOL i'm a seasoned new mother LOL

I think you should see a doctor and see what they say, they are the best peeps to advise.

Hi everyone. I just did ER and my period came still scanty like before I start ivf. Dr told me my lining was ok during stimulation and also around 8mm previously when I did iui. My HSG last year after miscarriage showed no problem. So they still prepare me for FET. Did anyone have similar condition but still pregnant with healthy baby? I'm just afraid some blood might stuck somewhere inside and not good for implantation. I've been having light period more than a year now, have tried accupunture, TCM but no difference. Should I go back to TCM before FET? Or anything else can help?

Since it has hit 8mm, that would be the min lining measurement for transfer. Since you mentioned that you had m/c previously means that there is no problem with lining and implantation.

I would think that it's just waiting for the right embryo to implant.

No such thing as blood stuck inside etc unless it's a medical condition and ultrasound scans may be able to pick up. If you have a light period, try eating more iron rich food and do light exercise. May help.

Thanks towkayneo. I feel less worried now Can I do dental x-ray and scaling while waiting for FET? Can I dye my hair? The FET is in couples of weeks so I just want to get these routines out of the way first, if there is no risk. My first jab to prepare for FET is beginning of June though.

why not? quickly do these before FET!

 

[FTM12345]

Failed my first SO-IUI and after the experienced of injections and multiple scanning, thinking to switch to IVF..

By the way, just heard from KKH that Dr Jessie Phoon is leaving kkh in end June.

hello! that was my very first scan and they stated it as about 5 weeks when it should have been about 6 weeks?

gradually, for the 2nd scan, everything fell into place - can see the flicker etc and they gave a more accurate EDD.

be positive until confirmed diagnosis. such things are quite hard to say, for all you know, your baby is a fighter.

it's a good idea to go for a 2nd opinion and know more, cos no doubt KKH is good, some of the sonographers really CMI

If i were you, i'll head for a 2nd scan now.

ya ya, the sonographers hor...I once saw a pregnant woman stepping out of the sonographer room sobbing cos the sonographer siao one, kept asking her to clear her bladder but the former said she went already.

i would think that the local sonographers are more bo chup and not empathic. My feel la.

i really feel she didnt look hard enough to see if there's a hb .

i was also thinking of doing a scan tml in jb. but hubby seems hestitant..

hate the feeling of living in fear and unknown is so stressful .
