Hi Siddhi-Hope U recover well soon.
Maybe want to try TCM to regulate back?
I will be doing my 3rd fresh-short protocol after Nov menses, likely start at end of Nov.
Now still taking Dr Zuo med & accupuncture

Hi Suyana, did you take the chinese medicine when you start your simulation. What other supplements did you take to prepare yourself for IVF? Thanks.
Hi babybaby,
I did not take any Chinese medication.
Only did Accupuncture. I took vitamin c to ensure I don't fall sick that easily.
Once I started on suppression injection, I cut down on cold drinks n stuff. I did drunk HL milk. I try to eat heather food too.
After embryo transfer, no to cold drinks n caffeine.

Hello everyone,
for those of you who were looking for IVF Do's and Don'ts,
another woman from the forum was kind enough to prepare this very detailed spreadsheets..
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?hl=en_US&key=0Akn4rrFWhKUAdE51a1ZOc1RtQ21sR185Wm52a3daSmc&hl=en_US&f=true&noheader=false&gid=13
It's really helpful.. It even has recipes for TCM remedies..
Btw, if anyone is okay for a one hour chat with me for an interview for my NUS Phd thesis, I would really appreciate it.. You can contact me through this account.. Thanks so much!

Siddhi,
Yes, I still have 4 (?) snow babies. As I have another condition, this time, I am not rushing things. I think I will have FET only mid next year to ensure my body is ok. These snow babies are too precious. I don't think my body can handle anymore fresh cycles after having gone through so many rounds within a span of less than 1.5 years. Don't know what damage these high dose hormones may have done to my body already.
I had my real flowing menses only after 5 months post MC. I was not able to get a real period but spotting everyday at certain months. Prof gave me med twice but still didn't work for me.
Blue- U are v diligent. Good. U will get your dream come true de. Hope you are all geared and prepared your body well for the new protocol. Best wishes for you!

Mel J-Are U ok?
I agreee that do not rush, only do when U are ready emotionally & physically.
Hope everything goes smoothly for U too.

Hi Blue, thank you for your kind concern. I think I should be better bah; at least one less worry over the menses thingy. Our body is really amazing. Anything not good will show up in the form of some other abnormality.
Blue, in this thread, other than Su occasionally pooping in, many of the other sisters who embarked the ivf journey tog with us previously all seemed to have gone quiet... I hope u and me can find our way to 'graduate'.

Hi everyone!
I just completed a failed Ivf at kkivf and don't have much confidence in them anymore. I'm thinking of switching clinics to NUH or Sgh and would like some feedback on the Ivf treatment at NUH.
My main concern is that there is no personalized care at KKIVF. I only saw my doc once before the Ivf treatment started and it was just a formality consult that every1 has to go thru before starting. I'm the type of person who needs to know my options and test results and want to be involved in the decision making as much as possible but at kkivf, it's like a factory, u just have to follow everything they ask u to do. Everyone seems to be given the same protocol regardless of their fertility issues in the past. Asking them questions is like trying to pull teeth and they'll not ever give a straight answer and its very hard to get the full details of ur test results.
I only saw my own doctor once during the treatment when he did the EC and he was on leave during the transfer so some other doc did it. Plus I've complained in writing about the substitute doc in the past so was very upset that firstly I was not told in advance that my own doc would not be doing the ET for me and that this doc which I already had a bad experience with previously would be doing the ET for me!
Is the procedure in NUH the same as KK? Or are you guys given more personalized care?
Also I have 2 frozen eggs at kk now and was told that under MOH ruling, I have to use them in a FET before I can do a fresh cycle so does any1 know if I change clinics can I do a fresh cycle straight away?
Thanks in advance for any feedback and sorry for the long post! : )

Hi cjkookie,
Sorry i don't have much to share cos i have not done my ivf yet.. Will be doing it in dec.. But have been with prof p c wong as a pte patient since end last yr.. In nuh, if u are pte patient, u get to choose ur doc and the doc will always be the one to tend to you, i.e. all consultations,scans, etc. unless he's on leave.. Even then, it'll be another senior consultant who covers for him and not a junior doc.. Hope this helps a little..

HI cjkookie
For Prof PC Wong, U need to ask him questions, he will definitely give U t he answers or options (if there is).
The nurses in CHR is also give personalised service. They would remember the patient's name.
As for the frozen embryos, U would need to ask Prof if U decided to be under NUH.
Maybe U go for consultation both in SGH & NUh then decide where to be done.

Hi all,
I only will start my cycle after CNY, book under Feb cycle.
As I have to settle some issues, so have to delay the cycle.

Su-thanks. Really hope will BFP after such long waiting.
Min81-I plan according to my schedule. I do not mind any Dr to do if Prof is not around. So I did not check with them when he is on leave.
But normally he will not be around during CNY time.
