For your reference:
Stage 1: 23 days of Lucrin 10ml. Started on CD23.
Stage 2: 10 days of Lucrin 10ml + Puregon 150IU
Day 34: Pregynl shot at 24hr clinic at 11pm
Day 36: ER
Day 38: ET
Day 44: D8 BT (Progesterone)
Day 54: D18 BT (bHCG)
When I was on Stage 1 lucrin jabs, my AF reported late on CD41 compared to usual 35 days.
My Stage 1 suppression is longer than usual, because the normal schedule would have hit CNY for my ER/ET and so KKIVF "extended" my suppression. I found out from fellow forumers that its common practice to jab us more to work ard schedules!
Happy Planning

<font color="purple">ladies,
Do u share this fear of walking into KKIVF?
Personally, I feel stressed each time I walk in there. Fear of meeting someone I know. So each time, I would walk in, not look around and find a seat in the last row.
Today, my fears materialized. I was in the last row, looked up and found myself face-to-face with a female colleague. We smiled at each other and did not talk. When we return to the office, I don't think we will ever raise this topic. We have water-cooler chats but are not sufficiently close to be sharing about this.
Although my fears materialized today, but somehow I felt a weird sense of relief.
Like what are the odds of it happening again? And also the other party probably felt the same way I did.
Am grateful for this forum, that I get to express my insecurities under the cloak of anonymity, and forget them through assisting fellow forummers.

JCX, what stage are you at now?
<font color="purple">flowersfruits
I just had my FET natural thaw. Today I was at KK for my bHCG test, THE bHCG test! But KK did not call with results. And when I called them, they told me the results are not back from the lab and I wd hv to wait till Mon. Two more days of uncertainty. My bad for not going earlier knowing how bad the crowds are on Sat.
Actually I can easily find out as I have a HPT. However, a BFP seems to be little comfort as my ultimate fear is the week 6 scan for sac/heartbeat. In my fresh cycle in Feb, I BFP'ed but no sac. It was an emo devastation, admist the expectations of our parents. This time round, we decided to keep the FET to ourselves to better manage the expectations and emotions. But it's also tougher on us as we hv no external outlets. For me, I hv this forum
now, we hope for the best

CKK,

"An employee is deemed to be hospitalised if he/she is certified by a doctor to be in need of hospitalization. He does not necessarily have to be warded in a hospital."
however, this is mandatory only for employees covered by the Employment Act. Employees earning >$2000 basic monthly salary and persons employed in a managerial or executive position are NOT covered by the act.

Hi all
I have been a silent reader of this forum. Wanted to check in with you if u have heard of growth hormones injections and DHEA supplements. Understand from the readings from the web that these are suppose to help ladies with low ovarian reserve to improve the quality of the eggs. The studies are still under research phase but wanted to check if any ladies here have used the above supplements. Tokkie, have u used the growth hormone injections before and your thoughts after the treatment?

Congrats faith! U r my faith! Haha cos u also ectopic b4 and bfp. Jiayou and may your scan in 2wks time b good!!
Ckk I don't know must really stay on hospital then considered hl as if we are preggie and if condition requires bedrest, dr will give us hl to rest at home too. So doesn't make sense leh..
Jcx and all ladies, we all gota hang on and b tough. The no eq colleagues / bosses etc we have to make do. Use this forum as an Avenue to fa xie
I think we fully jnderstand hw you fear bumping into someone u know as I have this fear too.
I bumped into a friend when I seek additional support during my fet in April. Did not know she also seeking such treatment. We chat but didn't ask ea other wat are u here for?? Guess inside our hearts we know and understand the pain of having to go thru such treatments. She never disclose anything to our mutual friends too, which of cos I also act blur. The day I met her she bfp as I know fr friends. I deeply hope my turn wil come soon .

Congratulations faith!!! Grabbing your babydust!
Twins...OMG! Are you closing shop after this?
minakochang, I updated mine. Thanks!
goofie, So far only 1 good news wor, will I be seeing more next week? Hmm...
JCX, I share the same fear as you. So each time when I step into kkivf, I will not keep my head low, instead I will look around and try to see if I can spot familiar faces. If really saw someone I know, I will try to siam first. Sometimes I will even wear sun shades. Haiz...cos of my working environment. If I am in your situation, I will just smile and there is nothing to discuss about unless we are v close.
Don't worry about the result. You will bfp de. waiting for your babydust on Mon...

Val, if I am not wrong CARE does do jabs to help hormone growth.

sesame, for exec & mgt level MOM expect these group to have ability to negotiate with company, hence Employment Act only cover workers earning less than $2k due to their weak bargaining power

ceraine, if your cycle is 28 days then AF will report CD28, during lucrin stage before puregon stage
Grumpus n seaseme
I dun think so lah... As long doctor certify hl... It's valid regardless hospitalise or not.
When I bfp n needs hl a mth... I didn't stay in hospital. Thou I hv to pay a small amt for d Gynae to generate hl leave yet not staying in hospital. Think abt 30bucks.
For this upcoming ivf director did ask if I b hospitalize . I oso worry I hv yo b physically staying in.
I guess if question juz say d operation go on well so discharge to rest at home with frequent return visits for scanning.

sesame,
as flowers&fruits say, for ppl not covered under the employment act, it is dependent on the individual company's HR policy and what is in your contract.
they can insist that u hv to be hospitalised before they recognise the hospital leave, and they will not be wrong. u can feedback to mom but mom cannot force them to recognise it also.

faith, though I know staying relaxed is the key point, but I still can't help feeling jittery esp when I go to Dr Zou today. She will remind me each time I see her tt I am starting my jabs soon. Grrr...She is keep track of each patient!
flowers, thanks for clarifying.
grumpus, understand. Hmm...so we are non-bargainable employees.
I think I will act blur and submit. I rmb tt time my colleague went for a woman op and she also discharge 3 days later and her hl is 2 weeks and company still recognise.
