ineedmiracle: if ur AF is mthly I tink ur Lucrin will start on D21...mine started on D16 due to microgynon...hope Sistas can help in this..I did noe a sista who did inject Lucrin for 23 days...can't remember who though...cos based on the IVF schedule Lucrin is to be injected for 2-3weeks before Puregon starts...

ineedmiracle : I was on lucrin for 22 days, though mine is FET. But think it should be for similar effect.
Tzac : Scan can be done when having AF. Thats where usually the doc can see the no. of follicles that is starting to grown, and see the lining already. Its ok, not too messy..

Elmoline, if u think its good, then should contnnue with ur current TCM. I think I'll try Dr Zou first. Hopefully I can endure the needles. Sounds like its quite painful but I think its worth a try.

Adeline, can I check how long is the accupuncture session with Dr Zou? Do you need to wait for very long?
pink,
Acupuncture shld be relaxing. If you're all tensed and stressed up, it defeats the entire purpose of it. Dr Zou will adjust any needles that are uncomfortable for you. The electrical current can also be adjusted to your comfort level. You can even doze off actually.
Btw, it's 20 mins front and 20 mins back.

syrah, still got electrical current? I thought its just needles. Ok, will try to relax myself abit.
.. I can't go before 5pm on weekdays since I knock off at 6 ... maybe I'll take half day some of the sessions.
U usually go at what time?
Adeline, ok. So in total, the whole session plus waiting time will be about 2 hrs I guess?

pink,
yes, that's electrical current. I had a shock myself the 1st time I was there too. I asked Dr Zou y come acup use elec and some don't. She said that elec is better stimulation. If the doc doesn't invest in the elec machine, then every 10mins have to twist and adjust the needle for stimulation.
I go down every Mon 4pm and Thur 11am. My work not office hours and hence such timing. Used to be Thur aft/evening but realised Thur is super busy day. So switched to mornings.

syrah, oh I see. Yes, I'm shocked about the electrical current thingy. You're at stimulation stage now? How come need to go twice a week? Thought its once a week? Sorry for asking so many qns

Adeline, I salute you girls who can go there despite not affecting our work.
I definitely cannot go in the morning. I'll prolly take half day or so.

miracle - the ivf calender quite accurate up to start of lucrin stage.
Then the days will differ abt 1-2 days.
like my af during lucrin stage is 17 jul, date stated as 20 jul.
Puregon inject start 21 jul, but in fact 24 Jul then will know if should start puregon.
all the dates will change if they increase or decrease the lurcin / puregon jabs. also have to factor in if not stimulate enough then got extra days added in...
only will know ER & ET only around puregon stage (towards the last few days)

pm me if you want to order the elken spirulina. Will be informing my fren later in the monring.
Adeline,
got your pm.
JJ
i realise they counted the next AF during lucrin as 34 days. My cycle abt there, so hopefully accurate for me. Will go work out the days. You are not on microgynon so your lucrin starts on d21?

miracle - ya D21 start lucrin. I wasn't on the pill.
Nadia - boo boo Sia... I was so concentrated on coming here for scan that I forgot to bring my BT forms etc.. ahhh!!! luckily the sonography lady, ms may, made a whole new set for me.
so forgetful me...
anyway my lining is ok, 3mm (must be under 8mm) so tentative clearance to start stage 2 this sat. just have to wait for BT results to confirm.

miracle,
Thanks. However I think I'll just buy the GNC one first to try.
pink,
Not exactly. Was already on some basic suppl all along. But those specific ones like CoQ10 and acup only started in June. They say that suppl best to take for 3 months to be effective though. So hopefully not too late.
Btw ladies, can I have the link to the calculator again? Can't find it in the previous posts.
