bbluck: sorry to learn your past. Anyway, hope you will have a good result in coming FET. Hopefully this round KK will give you the best support. In fact, besides jab (Protulon) you can also request to have the insert if you worry not enough support.
Seaview: good luck and hope to hear your good news on Monday.
Ineedmiracle: Don't stress yourself. If you so concern, perhaps you could see a pty gynae and ask the Dr whether he/she can support you when you need during 2ww. I remember there is one sister besides seeing Dr Loh also seeing her pte gynae to check her P level every alternate day after she tested BFP. For your case, u can ask to have blood test and if low then ask the Dr to give you the Proluton jab (one jab can last for 3 days).

i can't help being worried cos the blood test shows that my P level is low. and it is very low.
so if my body is not producing P, then my chance of sustaining a preg is very low.....
live,
yes..i'm trying to find a gynae now to monitor my P level during 2ww, and if i really bfp, then will be during my preg....
bbluck
sorry to check again. did you do a blood test on your P level before embarking on ivf? cos I would like to know if yours was low even before the cycle....</font>

Did u ask dr loh to give u more support during 2ww? for me i didnt ask any extra support.... just follow KKIVF till BFP then go for pte gynae. But is too late by that time. On top of it, KK 24 hr didnt give me any extra support or do any BT on D13 when I got lot of brown discharge.

Sunnyday, below is the list from Dos and Dont during 2ww. This is from previous post.
Stage 3 (2WW)
- increase egg whites intake
- Ensure milk or Anmum milk
- 2-3 pieces of Brazil nuts daily, some take 5 pcs per day.
- can also take sunflower seed, pumkin seed, and flax seed
- water intake 2L/day
- No pineapple and water melon
- No squatting or carrying of heavy weights (anything that stresses the abdominal muscle)
- No hot sauna or soaking of lower half body in bathtub
- No intercourse
- Do not stand or sit in a position (infront PC)too long. Good to walk a bit to promote circulation
- No raw food and avoid oily and spicy foods as it may cause an upset stomach. High hormone levels cause bloatedness and hence add to discomfort
- No strenuous exercise
- No other medication (eg. TCM) other than those given by your Dr

Ineedmiracle,
based on ur p level which u last did on cd21, did u showed signs that u hv already ovulated ? The optimal timing to do p test is 7 days after ovulation and not on cd21. U could hv ovulated late that month which resulted in the low p value.

a silly question.
issit that if one ovulates, means P value will be high? or not neccesary?
do you think i should start getting ovulation strip and see if I ovulate?</font>

hello everyone, am new to this thread. My doc strongly recommended that I abandon SO-IUI and go straight to IVF. So here I am at IVF stage!
Will start in early Sept...Is there anything to avoid or must take to prepare for IVF (I'm already on vitamins and TCM)? Trying to learn from you gals here and stay positive..

Ineedmiracle,
Once u ovulate, ur p value will progressively increase
And 7 days after u ovulate will be the best time to go for p test. So don't be so pessimistic about ur low p value.

Yvonne- if u get referal letter frm poly, it would be at subsidy rate.. But I dun think u able to choose the doc, u would only be assigned to the duty doctor. The subsidy would be for the Dr consultation, blood test, scan, hb's semen test etc. Even u in subsidy package but once refer to IVF there is no more subsidy rate but of course can use medisave and got gov grant. Hope it help

getting a referral letter, you cant choose the doc. All tests before ivf will be subsidised. About 50% disc and gst absorbed. Consultation shld be lesser.
Then upon cfm you wan ivf, then will transfer to kkivf, tats where you can choose dr loh. Anyway kkicf charges are private rate.
But w/o referral, you can straight make appt with dr loh and all tests will be non subsidised. Just dr loh alone, consultation is abt $91. Different tests can range from about 50-200...about there... Can't recall the exact amt.

winniepooh, take care, drink more water, more fruits and veg. The weather is really unpredictable nowadays, so we tend to fall sick easily. Are you taking Vit C?
Miracle, Did we do this test with KKH? Hmm, how come I did not do this test? But Dr Zou did mention that your BT results is ok right?
JJ, u still feel crampy? Maybe get your hubby to buy dinner for you or ask him to cook for u since you feel so uncomfortable?

miracle, i have gone thru 2 fresh cycles..it is very important to stay positive and relax during 2ww... "stress" is a big no no to a bfp....
since u hv decided to stay with kkivf, must have faith... otherwise, very difficult to make it thru the 2ww without worrying urself nuts...
if it really bothers u tht the monitoring is not sufficient, maybe u shld check out other hospitals/clinics.

JJ, the hot pad will ease the cramp...so you cook the rice yrself? I also thinking whether to cook the rice for myself and not to get from the tingkat cos I still prefers my preferred brand.
Did you wear socks to keep yrself warm? If cough, then you shd not on the aircon when you sleep already.
Nadia, ya ya, I am hoping you will bfp so that can give me more confidence
wahahaha....

i did the d21 test for progesterone.
She did say my P level low, tat i might not ovulate. But i oso not sure if i ever ovulate... She say puregon can even make one ovulate cos of the stimulation. But at tat time i din knw P level so impt for preg. Tml i will ask her how... Really hope something can be done to improve. Likke what bbluck mention, P low will also mean lining thin....haiz.. Now have 2 to worry. Even hb feels that i trysee what dr loh reply, and at same time see if any gynae can monitor me closer...</font>
