Deerdeer,
i think you have to call KKIVF regarding the greenish discharge if it persists. For me, I will call immediately as I do not want to risk any infection.... Don't think greenish is good. For me, I had brown discharge as I had a painful ER and Dr Loh told me the brown discharge is due to the penetration of the follicles and they were healing, that's why. I have never heard of greenish discharge.
As for trasnferring how many embryos, I put in 3 and ended up with one. Luckily my DH insisted. I am thankful for his decision but really, like what Stacy said, it is the implantation, not the number of eggs that you put in. Rest is the most important factor now.
Stacy,
you can email me in regard to the test. I will be more than happy to have someone to share their experience with me. Do you have my email address?
Maplebabies, I'll try to answer your questions to the best I can.
Q1: Your test results are recent enough. The other tests that you have to go through will be the blood tests for HIV, Hep B and Rubella immunisation. They have to make sure you are not infected with any of the above before they proceed. Then you will go through counselling session by social worker as well as the doc.
Q2: Usually the wait is 3 months as KKIVF is very popular due to the cost.
Q3:If AF(menses) is not regular, then you will have the long protocol. When your AF is here, you will have to take a type of contrapceptive pill for about 3 weeks to regulate your AF first. Then Lucrin injections for another about 3 weeks (depend on a blood test result that shows whether your body is sufficiently suppressed) to suppress your body from releasing hormones on its own. Then if the blood test result is ok, you will start puregon injections with the Lucrin but Lucrin will stop earlier than the puregon and puregon is for stimulating follicles growth. At this point, it is when you need to pay like almost a thousand dollars, depending on the dosage you are on. You also need to go through blood test (after about 1 week or so of puregon injections) to check the growth of your follicles and for them to decide whether you need more injections or you can go ahead with ET and ER. Then of course, before you go for your ER (egg retrieval), you will have to go to the 24hr clinic to get an injection to mature the eggs before they retrieve them for you. Some people like me, have a bad ER but some do not feel anything at all, so it all depens on individual, ok? Of course, after that, follow by the ET (embryo transfer), it is painless and fast. You will have to decide again how many embryos you want to put in, Max 3. At this point, you can check with doc the thickness of your lining and the grade of your embryos as my sinseh told me that if the lining is at least 9mm and the grade of the embryos is at least 4, then the chances are high. Mine was lining 9mm and the embryos are all grade 4. Then it will be your 2ww (2 weeks wait). You may experience anxiety and some side effects like bloatedness. Don't do any pregnancy tests till the one you will do with KKIVF as I did one around 12th day with the 24 hr clinic as orderd by the doc there, it was negative and I was devastated but as you know, the result is not accurate as I am 11 weeks pregnant now. Fazilah too, did a urine test the day before and got a negative result, but in the end, she is actually pregnant. Thatis because her beta reading is low at that time. So, don't frighten yourself unnecessarily.
Q4: It is both true and not true. After ET, you have your 2ww. People believe that ample bed rest will help in the implantation process which I happen to agree too. So, in order to play safe, some take mc all the way for the 2ww but for KKIVF, they only give 5 days mc starting from ET as ET and ER are only 2 days apart. So it is up to individual.
Hope the aboove helps.
