Fashion spree,
Congrats on your BFP! what's your hCG level? i was prescribed this progestrone tablet called Dydrogesterone for 30 days. how about you? what kind of progesterone support did they give you?
Wendy,
Stay positive and don't worry too much. the BT may turn out to be positive afterall. sometimes the doctors on duty at the KK 24hr clinic are junior docs and they may not very familiar with ivf, so don't take into heart what they say and let it affect you.

NeSNeS, missfairylady,
Sorry to hear your results. do stay positive, keep your body healthy and 'tiao' your body to make sure that it's in best condition for the next attempt!
NeSNeS,
my diet for the 2WW consists mainly of high protein food like fish, lean meat, milk and eggs. i think this helps the body to recover after ER and also provide the embryo nutrients for implantation. i started to take a few pieces of brazil nuts daily after D6 as i read that the selenium helps in implantation. i rested in bed for 2days after ER as i was having very bad cramps in the lower abdomen. after ET, i rested on sofa most of the time for 2days without leaving home, enjoying myself watching SCV and DVDs.

JJ,
based on KKH's system, ER id D0 and ET is D2. i think different hospitals have different way of counting. i started to take brazil nut on D6 cos i only got to find out that brazil nut helps in implantation on that day. suppose to start taking it immediately after ET for the 2WW. try to have home cooked food as it's healthier and cleaner. just in case that the food you buy outside is not clean and end up having stomachache or diarrhoea.

Lyn, thank you, only one time for fresh as i have 17 usable embryos so i tried 3 embryos each time until 4th FET I only left 4 embryos so i requested dr loh to put in 2 embryos. When i knew i were pregnant, i were very happy but few days later i found blood on my underwear , i immediate went direct to kkh 24hrs for consultation and keep talking to my unborn baby to stay with me. Luckily, my HCG went up again after 2 days, and stop bleeding after one day.
JJ, i wish you good luck for your soiui. I usually encourage to myself that there is always a chance if i try .( i cannot share with other as all my friends are naturally pregnant,they will not understand my feeling). Most of my friends are very surprise that i have given birth to a baby boy on Nov/09 after 8 years of my marriage.

Hi Ladies,
Today I just recv a call from the nurse that there are some particles in my samples when i did my pap smear test last week. Prof PC Wong wants me to do colposcopy tomorrow morning in order to conduct a further investigation on my cervix. Am now very worried wondering if its common.
Have anyone encounter this before?

Pink, i hv done colposcopy. I was asked to do the test coz I hv some harmless infections but my doc wanted to make sure that there were no harmful ones tt caused cervical cancer.
Colposcopy is a test for cervical cancer. U can google the website to find out more. The specialist doing the scope for me at KKH was gd so it was painless n over very soon. N I cleared.
Hope this helps

Only a few strands of infections cause cervical family n they belong to a family of infections called HPV. But there are also harmless strands of HPV.
My guess is ur pap smear revealed traces of harmless HPV. So prof wants to do colposcopy to rule out the harmful strands. So dun worry. More info is at website

Missfairylady - I'm seeing Dr S F Loh. Even though I did not succeed in my 1st cycle, will still continue to do ivf with him. I find him a very dedicated doc. Whenever I have queries, will email him & will always get a reply. Just my 2 cents worth...
Embark on the journey again when you're ready k. hugs

Sunflower, Fashion Spree, Bing & Babychloe,
Thank you very much for the encouragement & info. Yes, I will take note of the diet and build up my body for the next attempt.
Lyn,
This is my 2nd attempt. I had 6 and only retrieve 2 out during ER and both fertilized with grade 3. I was given 700 of Puregon daily which was the max for age 35. Very bad. Must be ovarian reserved due to 2 ops caused by cysts.
Any advise on how to produce good quality and quantity eggs?

Zaza, i'm still under SGH. Dr Roland is leaving this month and they change me to Dr Yong.
Babychloe55, i did see Dr Loh so many years ago, during that time, there is no subsidised so i dont proceed. I dont like KK service so i change to SGH.
Some more my heart is not that strong so i dont know if KKH can take care of that cos at SGH at least they take care of me during my 1st IVF. 2nd time round i got no problem.
If i do again it will be a 3rd time and i read in the net as you do many times ur chances decreased.Haiz i dont know what to decide now.
Everybody have some problem but for me nothing wrong with me but yet the embies never stick.
I just want to tiao my body 1st.

Hi Pinky,
I had my first appt with prof on Tue.
Both DH & myself did the BT on the same day.
Prof has also suggested us to attend the IVF seminar this sat. They have already plan for me to start IVF with my May cycle. How about you? Maybe we can be cycle mate.
Hi Ladies,
For now, anything for us to take note or eat to help to increase our chance of success?

Ladies,
Dun worry about lining and embroy grading. I transfered 2 embies. Grade were 2 and 5 (5 is the best) Both were implanted. During 2ww, u must really try to relax and dun read up too much abt signs and symptoms. U dun hv to bedrest all the way.
All the best! Baby dusts to all....

Nancy, i read somewhere that you can find brazil nuts at the following places:
1. Most Cold Storage like Anchorpoint, Jurong Point, Parkway, Great World City, Bugis
2. NTUC at Ang Mo Kio Hub
3. Carrefour
4. Giant at Vivo City with shell type
Missfairylady,
i believe in Dr Loh's magic hand and have confidence in hime even though i don't really like him very much for his bluntness. i hope that you will succeed this round under him. all the best!
NesNes,
i think TCM is still the best way to help you to improve the quality and quantity of eggs. i used to have irregular menses but after a few courses of acupuncture, my menses is regular now and i know that i ovulate on D15 of my cycle regularly when i test using ovulation test strip.

Wendy, give your Hubby some time to think. At this point both if you are equally very upset. Maybe he really dies not want you to go through another round if jabs. That was what happen to me n Hubby. Initially, he was the one who I insist on no though I was fine doing it again . We did nimit talk until much later when he was fine doing one more time.
Hope after some time, he is ok with your decision.
