No heart beat at week 10 & scan show like 7 weeks only.
Inital beta HCG was also low, I had brown spotting few days before the actual beta.

Farisah, I know how you feel.
I had m/c too at week 7. Was emotionally painful for me. Actually I had phobia of laying on the bed to get scan. Coz that was how I found out abt my m/c.
Lucky emerald clinic changed location to their current plc if not that bed is a nightmare to me.
When I got pg again thru ivf in 2010, I had that phobia again.
I know I must think positive but I was just scared. During the first trim, every time I had to see prof for scan I will feel very frightened n when he did the scanning, I will always look for the morvemnt of heartbeat
It's easy to say but we really need to think positive. So do try to be positive ok

lee-U meant feel bloated, coz the follicles is growing mah.
Might feel like hot flash kind, as hormone jabs, so drink more water. Also with more water intake, is too prevent U to be sick, esp now is flu session.
On & off some headache, but I was ok with that.

sjx, seems like good news u feel bloated leh. gt a fren she say first cycle of ivf she failed, second ivf she conceived n gave birth bcos her body 'reacted' quite strong, gain weight, bloated etc. I'm like not feeling anything leh. so i'm a bit disappointed. if can conceive, i dun mind feeling bloated lah, getting fat etc... so u shld look at e bright side.
Sjx, don't stress yourself like not to fall sick.
That was what I thought when I did my first cycle. I stress myself not to fall sick. Then 2 days before egg retrieval I really fell sick. Saw dr a day before ER. Was not fully recovered by ER but lucky no fever n could continue with ER
Don't be like me ok

lee - it depends on some people. As for me, mine did came. But I was also told by CHR nurses that some people doesnt have menses during suppression.
Good luck with your IVF journey!
SJX - theres no specific day for ER. It really depends on your body's response to the gonal-f and once the eggs are matured enough, gynae will tell you at least 2 days before when your ER will be. I remembered mine was on a Saturday morning. So good, not much people but need to report to day surgery at 7am cos its on a weekend.

andreanie, thanks. tomorrow have another appt but i think my follicles is ready for OR.
for me, gonal f seems to work well for me. tomorrow e chr nurse told me to bring back all the gonal f pen. follicles sizes range from 12 to 15 and 6 on each ovary. i guess i also need all the luck i can get.
sjx, remember i told you seems to be very slow but now everything seems to happen very fast. i'm really praying hard that things will work out fine for all of us here.
cross my fingers.... will update all again and also looking forward to the 2WW.

Lee-All the best for yr coming ER.
Hi All, I have started on my Gonal F today. I am on short protocol. Just worried as I am on high risk of OHSS. Met Dr. Steven Chew today & he said that I have 10 baby follicles on my left & 14 on my right. Anyone here with this kind of experience?? Share please....
Lee, when is your OR?
SJX, Whats latest on your side?

Siddhi-what is the reason for the short protocol?
I was PCOS, on long protocol, was also high risk of OHSS, esp during my 2nd cycle.
Likely they would reduce the dosage of Gonal F.
If start Gonal F today only already has so many follicles, did Dr Chew mention what is the reason behind?

To add on, my dosage was increase on 2nd cycle, but later on was reduced as too many follicles.
To prevent OHSS, U need to take very high protein diet & alot of water.
Which I did & manage to do ER & ET.

Bluenosebear, No Dr Chew just saw my AMH test report & mentioned that I am among few patients who have such high AMH. I asked sisters there they said Prof will scan on Friday & can adjust the dosage. I have only 1 cyst and rest are baby follicles. Will try to take high protien diet & water for these days.
reason for short protocol is high AMH result. It is around 110 where as good is considered only 19 and above.
Just I am keeping my patience, wait & watch theory.

SJX, I reached NUH around 8.30 in the morning & completed blood test, sanning and gonal F dosage Counselling by 10.30. For blood test waited around 45 mins, Dr. Appointment & scanning 20 mins & rest was in counselling. Though it was crowded in the morning but by the time I left CHR it was empty. Hardly anyone, so dont think u will have to wait much. All the best.
bluenosebear-thanks.
siddhi-OR is tomorrow 12.30pm
hi ladies, looking at what some ladies is enquiring, i have 6 follicles each on my right & left ovaries. was on long protocol and taking gonal f for around 12 days. got alittle bloated on Saturday but that was my 2nd last jab of gonal F and i ate 5 hardboiled egg whites tat day, although i really feel like puking but it really helps because i was feeling much better after that. Nipples were pretty swollen and painful though.
wondering if any ladies experienced that and I was also having giddy spells. But tat's something good, because my body was having reactions. well, that's how i console myself. so excited about tomorrow! by e way, dr chew didn't say if i have cysts or not. while he's scanning, he just keep nodding his head say good good good, bcos i guess having double uterus and double vagina seems to make the 'pathway' difficult for implantation and he was planning the 'map' on my OR i guess. haha...

Siddhi- IC.
Then best to eat at least 8-10 egg whites, half-boiled as easier to take, u k take separately.
Maybe u might want to try immunocal, with so many follicles, by the size of 10mm, u would be very bloated.
From my experience, need at least 2pkts on top of the eggwhites. That is what I did.
Hope this helps
