thks jamp! will keep u updated
frankly speaking, i don't hv hopes for the IUI this cycle. ytd scan, my follicles r still not ideal size. only can c 1 follicle growing & if this one reaches ideal size these few days, can do IUI nx wk. but juz depending on 1 follicle & my hubby's prob, don't tink we will strike this round. i'm already prepared for the failure.
i'm not given any medication to stimulate ovulation. let it ovulate on its own

Rainy- if u didn't need medication for ovulation means gd news. It show that u able to ovulated yrself, which is different from pcos pt, like me.
As for iui, like wat jamp say, is usually 1 follicle or at most 2.
Relax, u never know till the end.

jamp, yeah. these are part of protocol, I guess. After my first natural period, I got spotting on and off for about 2 weeks. So when I saw Prof Wong, he chose medicated long protocol. It has 3 stages, the first one is taking Duphaston for 10 days (which stops my spotting and induces my next period), the second stage is taking birth control pill for 28 days (which regulates my period), the third stage is progynova (which is for the growth of lining, I think). After 14 days of Progynova, scan was done and my lining was ready for ET. So after 3 more days (my embryos were frozen at 3 days) and ET was done.
Cool-gd luck to u! btw do u hv to do any jabs? i thot for ivf, need to do a lot of jabs
blue & jamp-thks for the encouragement! but i still don't feel positive lah...hehe my character is pessismistic type. IUI success rate is also very low & my hubby's mortility level is really low. anyway still dunno when can do IUI yet. hv to c the nx scan results. Dr Anu said MC will be given on IUI day cos she knows it's very hard for me to take time off from my work but i dunno how to explain to my boss if she sees that my MC is from women's clinic.
blue-my test results show that everything is fine with me & I do not hv PCOS according to Prof. i was at the other IUI thread in this forum and the girls were saying that if i only hv 1 mature follicle, chances of success is very low for IUI. anyway i didn't think much about the outcome. leave it to fate

Hi Jamp. I haven't started my fresh yet. My hub asked me to wait a couple of mths so I thot maybe next year, if I can find a less demanding job then embark on fresh cycle again. I'm sorry I wasn't able to find out more on hysteroscopy from my endo obstetrician. I emailed to ask but be didn't reply. I think cannot ask for free must pay consultation then get answered.
Cool- all the best to ur beta. I hope to grab ur bb dust☺

Jamp- the book kept me occupied and made me wanting to work. I was thinking since need wait a couple of mths I can get (hopefully) a less demanding job then aim to complete the protocol when I can take leave. But that means I can't take two wks HL but prob a few days of own leave. This may not be ideal but then I thought I had LOTs rest not working prev times also like this, neg outcome.
Another is to do this round and forget abt working. If successful I will not be able to get any job. If otherwise, then need to work hard and no more thoughts on ivf (i am scared of this outcome).
My mil, hub both told me not to try ivf le. I've in total had three and none succeeded. But I feel if I just give up I scared I have regrets in life esp after giving up work to do the IVFs.
Dilemma ...

Jamp-Thank u for ur encouragement to cont perservering I m just like all of u here. Jus that every time I wan to consider looking for jobs I would be dissuaded bcos of the ivf attempts that's why I ended still not working. This time is cos my mil kept telling my hub the harm those jabs do to my body. Actually I had only 1 long protocol and that was the one where I ended having to do lap for endo cyst. The other time was natural FET and one more was in private on v v low dose meds aimed to stimulate 1-3 follicles in order to avoid endo flare. That's why I thot I wd still wan to try one time long protocol as my last attempt.
BTW, when r u going to do hysteroscopy w Dr Chew? Maybe do in dec is gd since festive period work usu less hectic (holi mood) and no need tell ur boss. Earlier u resolve u have one issue less to worry and can plan ur next stage better.

Mel, it's so nice of yr mil, think yr folks are all worried for u and wld like to encourage u to start working again so as to distract u from ivf. Take yr time n dun give up
prof says wait for 2 menses cycle for uterus to shrink bk to do hysteroscopy. Still waiting for 1st mense so not likely in dec liao...

hi cool, all the best to ur bhcg today : ) will b waiting here to collect bb dust from u.
hi blue, i m fine. been ttc naturally n hope one day will strike. hahaha.. m tempting to try hysteroscopy as wanna to ensure my uterine wall is fine. But i wan prof or Dr chew to do it for mi. Dunno whether they r expertise in this area ornot.
I think pink might be trying ivf again in Dec. Hope to hear from her soon.
hi mel, during the long protocol , i also developed cysts on both my ovaries after the suppression jabs. Therefore I was asked to stop the ivf process for 3 cycles when all the cysts managed to shrink and disappear. Thereafter i tried 2 short protocol which yield less than 10 mature follicles n no frosty embbies. Now i was left wif last try. Prof suggested to do hysteroscopy b4 embark on the 3rd try. He also suggested I try long protocol (bcp for 2 weeks, then suppression, follow by stimulation). I m definitely not ready for the last try yet. but i am tempting to do e hysteroscopy test to ensure my uterus wall r free from fibroids or other growth.

Jamp & Serene- Hysteroscopy is just to check the uterine wall right so need go OT or can it be done as an outpatient in-clinic procedure in private clinic?
Serene, I'm not sure if ultrasound can detect fibroids. I rem Jamp said hers was cos Prof said saw smth previously.
Can someone ask Prof/Dr Chew? Can ultrasound detect fibroids and is it that if failed several times need do hysteroscopy?

Serene- u mentioned Prof sugg for nx cycle, to take bcp for 2 wks before suppression? I think I need make appt to see him le. Better for me to get everyth clarified before starting. Last mth I saw him for consultation he only say start long protocol and forgotten abt my endo cyst history (cos he didn't review my case notes). Kept saying I got no endo... I m v scared cos my prev experience cyst was fd out at other hospS unlike urs where Prof told u to abort the cycle or aspirate small cysts during OR.

Mel, hysteroscopy on its own can be done outpatient in the clinic, dun hv to go OT, both for private and public
Ultrasound can detect fibroids, but whether the fibroids affect fertility very much depends on the positioning, which can only be determined by hysteroscopy. If the fibroid lays very near to the cavity of the uterus, it has to be removed.
But Mel, u go to your endo gynae to check regularly so need not worry, rite?

Hi all, thanks for your Hugs and encouragement. Actually I went for blood test with the big hope since I have some BFP symptoms similar to my previous experience. However my hope was dashed away. Ok. Never mind. I will try again. I still have 3 frozen embryos. Will have a review section with Prof in two weeks time.
looking forward, i got MC ytd & it did indicate the treatment time. however i was not there for IVF so not sure whether it will be the same. i saw the nurse printing from their system. a general template so maybe it's the same for all. best to check with the nurses from CHR
hi mel, i dunno whether my case is differ from urs. coz i developed cysts after the 2 weeks of suppression jab. tot the suppression jab is to suppress our hormones. end up it causes the cysts to flare up n E2 level to be extremely high. Hence, have to abort the process.
For urs, I suspect is the stimulation jabs tat caused u to hav endo cysts.
Guess prof attended to so many cases therefore he might not remember our cases. It is better for us to remind him of our ivf history before embarking in the ivf process. This will allow prof to better assess the additional medication to be added to our protocol.
I asked prof before whether the normal ultrasound scan can determine growth in the uterus wall. He mentioned not all area can be covered using ultrasound scan. Therefore it is recommentded to do hysteroscopy if wanna to check the entire uterus wall.
hi jamp, bcp stand for birth control pill.

jamp-yes i did my IUI ytd but will fail this time. cos ytd was day 19 of my menses n the ladies in the other IUI thread in this forum said that day 19 is a bit late to do IUI since my AF cycle is 28-30 days. normally IUI is done much earlier. someemore i was not given any medication before that to control my AF. during the wkend, i already started to hv symptoms that my AF is reporting soon. was asking my hubby whether we shld proceed to do it ytd cos i know it will be $ wasted. but we still went ahead since we already spent $ on scans.
anyway after this round, hubby & I would ttc. then maybe try IUI again nx yr. but we r gg to switch to pte gynae liao
