Mina!!
I hope you read this post of mine. I hope you havent been too sad or already given up on your supplements cuz i seriously think you are pregnant!! And i have basis below!
I dont know what metrics your gynae used to measure your HCG but according to universal metrics, any reading above 5mIU can be pregnant and any reading above 25mIU is definitely pregnant. And usually these are based on D14 blood test levels.
See below links:
http://www.babymed.com/pregnancy-tests/early-pregnancy-normal-hcg-levels-and-pregnancy-tests
http://www.babyhopes.com/articles/blood-test.html
hCG under 5 mIU/ml: Negative. Not pregnant
hCG between 5-25 mIU/ml: "Equivocal". Maybe pregnant maybe not. Repeat test in a couple of days
hCG over 25 mIU/ml:You are pregnant!
So for your case, first of all, 18mIU is not under 5mIU so definitely not negative! Then your BT was done on D12 right? Honestly, at D12 can have some readings already means got implantation and its a good sign. And thats actually 2 days earlier than when most clinics will do the BT so if given till D14 to do the test, HCG will have doubled to 36mIU, then wouldnt that be above the 25mIU and pregnant? So i would think you are pregnant! I dont understand why your gynae thinks not, maybe he didnt notice that 18mIU is taken as at D12 not D14?
So, please please take care and diligently take your supplements. And if can, go for KK BT tomorrow (D14), should see the doubling already and then quickly ask for pregnancy supports.

Mina,
share with you my personal experience too. D12 reading was 23mIU. By D14, it was 75mIU. So dont be affected by the reading at D12 as long as its not below 5mIU. More importantly, check again 2 days apart for doubling. If got doubling, no matter how low initial level is, its confirmed a BFP!

The preseed i had came in small tubes per box. Cant remember hw many tubes per box. But 1 tube is for 1 application. If urs the same, then shld be correct.
If you are lubricant by nature then dun use too much, can be very slippery inside

Sunny, thanks for sharing your experience.. You juz given me some hopes that a miracle may happen!! The doc who told me my hcg 18 = not pregnant is a normal GP at 24hrs clinic. Intially, before got result.. he scheduled 2nd bt 2 days later but after got result, he said dun need come liao. It was so devastating to hear tis news!
Anyway, I will still continue with my oral support and call kkhivf tomorrow. I still having very mild brown spotting and occasional cramps.
May I ask why did you ask for bt at day 12? And where did you did ivf?

Ibbdust, sorry for the late response, it's channel 441, the next showtime for today is 6pm and 11.50pm.
i fell asleep just now for 2 hour nap. I never nap but dunno why so tired. Does anyone feel tired during the lurin/suprefact stage?

janice, i was totally crashed after the failed cycles. I cried and hid at home for weeks. There isnt anyone to confide in cos noone knows i took up this program. I simply refused to see the world during that few months. it took my hb a long while to convince me what is really important. having a happy marriage is the focus. if we have kids, it will be a bonus.

pink m, thanks for concern. yes things have cooled off this week , i purposely turned on the TV just now that showed Giuliana doing her ER/ET. Hubby was reading his novel and i nudged him to look at the TV "see see, that's how ET is done"..... after the show ended, he asked me his "first concerned question", how do u keep the uterus healthy? haaaaaaaaa

Mina, I am so happy tt Dr Loh says it is not a clearcut negative case! Yippeee!!! Perhaps call kkivf tml and ask for BT and get the necessary support asap.
Syrah, I think I am too free at home, except eat, sleep, read and watch tv, there is nothing much I can do…or chat with dh lor and I can’t call my friends at all except weekends else they will start questioning me why I am always a home.
Holidaygal, dun go exercise outdoors with the haze. Dun risk falling sick, hit the gym instead. Take care during this period. Plenty of rest and water.
Miracle, u r finally back! I tot hw come u go missing…dun nd to bring lucrin to kkivf during 1st scan, but do jab before u go since u r on morning jab.
Janice, AF report le make u more relaxed right?
