It's all worth it.. N happy for u.... Rest well n enjoy ure pregnancy..
How many weeks r u at now?
 
loulou - retroverted means what? My gynae always say my womb is tipped to the back instead of the front. Does that mean I have retroverted womb also?

Jessica - I also have cysts but Dr Loh did not ask me to remove or do SIS prior ivf. Are your cysts very big?
 
Hi Ceraine, I get to go toilet 3 times during ET. So its not as bad as you think
happy.gif
I should be 4 weeks along, very early and long way more to go.

Hi snuuggly, retroverted womb means the womb tilt to the back.
 
loulou - tks for confirming. Oh dear....i have the same prob. If i ever get to ET...then i am in trouble
sad.gif
On the positive side, maybe I will be so tired that I sleep through the night.
 
Ladies with KK,
D insurance for our little darlings.. Who do we address the cheque to??

Buddy
Finally, my appetite is back. Feeling hungry Le..
 
Hi Jessica,
No problem... hee... actually the moment when you asks about SIS, I quickly start typing to let you know my experience before reading the post from you that you request me to advise the detail... Hopefully that the SIS result shows that you still can proceed IVF without any operation.. I am praying hard that I also can avoid any operation... I did Accupuncture is to prepare for my coming IVF..When will your menses come?

Infact, just now Doc Zou told me that not all Polyps require to be remove inorder to do IVF..then she say that even if have to do operation, also can proceed to do IVF next month since will only start with Lucrin next month and haven't ET yet so still ok.. but of course, hopefully I don't have polyps... don't need to go through operation...

Infact, I have been with Doc Zou since last year for about one year too... As I did my twice SO-IUI last year so had been seeing her to do accupuncture and take her medicine...After I miscarrage, I stop all TCM .. then now decide to just proceed with IVF without wasting more time...Let's hope all of us can graduate from this thread soon...

Good night gals and enjoy your Haji holiday..:)
 
Hi Snuggly,
Sorry... miss your post.. I will be seeing her coming Sunday for accupuncture again...

Hi Gals,
Prior IVF, we should be doing twice accupuncture per week right? Or alternate day??
Thank you for any advise..
 
Hi Gals,
Just curious... can anyone kindly advise on how can we make Ginger drink?? how to boil? Also, where to buy wheatglass?? What brand of Vit C are you gals taking?? DOes OG at Bugis sell immounical? Currently I am taking only Folic Acid, Conceive well and chinese TCM... is it sufficient? I don't dare to take COQ2 as GNC sales gal say if pregnant, cannot take COQ2 so I was abit worry so don't dare to take..

Also, when do we start drinking immounical?

Thank you soooo much gals..

Thank you gals...
 
Hi Peko,

Ya, I scared that I may have more spotting and cramps after the SiS. You know sometime even I do papsmear, I may have spotting for the next few hours to 1 day.
sad.gif
Sigh! Everything also extra than others
sad.gif
Sian. I think TCM is just stop the bleeding for few months but will not cure the polyps
sad.gif


Hi Snuuggly,

Dr Loh advised me no need to remove the cyst too. He just advise me to do SiS due to mid moth bleeding and also on day 2 or day 3 of my menses, I need to go back to KK to do blood test. Then see him again in Dec 2010 to review all report (I guess).

Hi Joanne,

My menses will be around 2 or 3 Dec.. Hope that you don't have polyps, cross fingers! My last pap smear test show that I've polyps
sad.gif
So I just hope that no opeartion is involve. Or maybe SiS can give me better answer whether I have polyps a not. When is your review of your report?
 
Hi jessica
my review with doc Loh will be on 27th nov.. So coincident as my next AF shd be on coming 2nd or 3rd Dec too..ya, crossing fingers that i dun hv polyps. Infact, i hv mid mth spotting on Sept cycle..but back to normal for my oct cycle leh.. Hmm..

Higals
nurse had call me say my bt result on 2nd day of AF is all ok.. But didnt tell me the level for FSH etc.. So can i presume that her ok means all within the normal range?can i call them again to asks for the detail results?
 
Loulou,
Congrats to you too ;)) May I check with you if u are given the proluton jab twice a week ? I had a little bleeding episode last night which almost scares me off my wits. Just had my proluton jab administered yesterday and having more jab will not help at this stage. I did a fair bit of walking yesterday and was on the chair most if the time. Bb sending me signals thatI didn't rest well yesterday. Going to do complete bedrest for the next couple of days.

Yenyen,
thanks for your blessings and I hope you turn will come really soon. Really appreciate for all the support you have given me even before I have decided to embark on this journey!
 
Sunstillshines,
FET Preparation will take about 7 weeks and dr Cheng is away for about 10days and he should be back by then even before you start your lining buildup. So no worries ya!
 
peko, did you try to see if you ovulate tis mth after failed ivf? I been charting bbt & using opk. Today is cd21 and no sign of ovulation.

Dr Zou said some ladies do not ovulate after ivf tats y kkh told us to try FET after 2 cycles. I was dissapointed becos wanted to ttc naturally tis mth b4 embark FET.

I heard that for Natural thaw cycle, kkh will monitor our lining and see when we ovulate. If not good, may abort the cycle.. is it true? I'm worried that I won't ovulate next mth

Jessica
Pls do not be siams, don't give up ure dream. Every individual Is different n might hv some added complications which others don't.
I'l be an inspiring case to you. I hv Von willerbrand disorder. Whilst other sisters here worry abt follicle sizes, maturity n fertilization rate, which I do too.. I hv added worries that 'll hv bleeding issues during ER n after op bleeding. My IVF procedure is far more complicated n needsmore medical support fr KK, as well good coordination to ensure my bleeding issue is contained. I m seeing additional anesthesia whilst other don't n paying excess 1.6k for my blood med too..
My bleeding disorder was my deterring factor to embark on IVF n it has been a struggle for 1 yr. N halfway thru d procedure.. I actually broke down scaring myself sick of all d negative stuffs... D sisters here has been very much encouraging .
I hv finish my ER yesterday n thanks god that all turns out well. In fact I was d queen.. Centre of attention with d anesthesia fussing over mr, assuring me etc thou initially there was some cockup... But it all goes well eventually...
This not d end of my worry.. Once Bfp n throughout d pregnancy n delivery.. It's another set of worry again .. But I'll take a step as it goes...

Please do not give up ure dream.. If polyops op is needed, go for it. It will enhance implantation. But mini mini sizes one are not an issue. Regards ure bleeding n spotting potential, pls discuss well with ure Gynae. They'll hv solutions for it.. Jiayou okie n all d best!!!!
 
Mina, my ovulation also late this mth after failed cycle. I usually O at cd14/15 but this time cd18/19. Inititally I thot I O earlier than tat but I didn't give up testing LH.
 
Sun
Can reduce yah... Ure Gynae shd advise u.when's ure last jab of gonal? Today??
My boobs super sore tooo.. Fuller n bloody damn painful. It doesn't feels like mine!! D soreness worsens after prengyl jab.
Has subsided abit after ER...
 
Joanne - hope one day I will run into u at dr zou's
happy.gif


Jessica, glad to hear you dun have to remove the cyst! Good luck with your SIS.

My af is just 5 days before both of u
happy.gif
 
Snuuggly, not all cysts need to be removed. There are many types of cysts, the most common is follicular/corpus luteum cysts and they are harmless de. it will go off by itself. It occurs when a follicle keeps growing beyond its normal time period and becomes an ovarian cyst.

Jessica, look at the brighter side, if really need to go ops who knows after ops you conceived naturally. Dr asked me try naturally for 3 mths but miracle din happen to me lah as my problem is male factor so chances very low. some of my friends conceive naturally after going ops.

Ceraine, cheque payable to the insurance co. Good Luck!

Mina, no I din monitor if I ovulate or not. I only take TCM and just wait for menses to report. we have the same cycle. Today is my CD21 too! Dont be too stress and chart bbt. just BD regularly if you want to try naturally. I find charting will give body some form of stress and worries. btw, how long is ur menses cycle usually?
 
Loulou, DAY, CKK --- BIG BIG Congrats to you!! So happy to know that 3 bfps in one day. Congrats and take good care for the next 8 months.

Day -- m happy to know u bfp!!! So glad for u. Must be really a panicky last few days for you after u found out about the dpt 10 level. But ur level is good for dpt 15... double and double next few days. Still need to go bt and when's scan?

Rainbow -- was reading your post on what are the dos and don'ts. I think oranges are also liang. I thought Dr Zou mentioned to me before. If u next see her, can verify. Confirm watermelon is liang. Also, those big type bananas are NO NO.. especially the big Del monte types. My mum told me that these are NO NO.. very liang!
 
Sun,
I had 60 follicles previously and had asked dr Cheng if the gonalf dosage can be reduced and he said no as the reduction may affect the growth of the biggie follicles. So the only way you can do is to ensure that you take enough proteins to curb your bloatedness and the lucrin trigger should not trigger ohss.
 
sun - mine only 225iu I already feel very high already, it was later brought down to 150iu on my D5 scan cos signs of over stimulation appear liao
 
Goofie,
Morning sister;) .. Had a huge scare last night - bled a little ;(.
Now doing complete bedrest and things are under control. I was noti yesterday ... Was up on the chair most if the time and I was out for dinner and to dr Zou place. Bb sending signals to me ya ;(. Can't help feeling jittery again. My next bt will be on next tuesday when i return for my proluton jab.Seeing dr for scan in 2weeks time... It's another 2 long weeks and I m praying hard now ...
 
Hi ceraine
oh.. That means hv to wait till 27th nov review.. Zzzzzz so long.. Hopefully i dun need high puregeon dosage.. I remember for my iui, i always did 100 puregeon dosage and only one follicle.. Sigh.. Manage to bfp but lost it twice at six wk..

Hi snuggly
ya, hope we can meet one day at doc zou or at kk..;)

hi gals,
can anyone advise to my question asks last night?
Just curious... can anyone kindly advise on how can we make Ginger drink?? how to boil?? What brand of Vit C are you gals taking?? DOes OG at Bugis sell immounical? Currently I am taking only Folic Acid, Conceive well and chinese TCM... is it sufficient? I don't dare to take COQ10 as GNC sales gal say if pregnant, cannot take COQ10 so I was abit worry so don't dare to take..
Btw, does ammun has selenium? I am drinking that now.. Any benefit? Shd i switch to ensure? Prior ivf, we shd do twice accunpuncture per wk right or alternate day?

Also, when do we start drinking immounical?

Thk u sisters...
 
Day --- Morning sista!!
happy.gif
Your spotting stopped already? Do u have sufficient support? any duphaston you taking? Yes, now is another 2ww but this time, the waiting is a joyful one. Are u going back to work soon?
 
peko,
The lead insurer is Great Eastern Life Assurance Co Ltd.
i assume to them right?

hoep4bb,
3-4 days is sufficient for the release.
 
joanne,
my last soiui of 150iu(increase from 125iu after day 8), i yielded 3/4 eggs and Dr fong commented i am resistant to the med.
the last round at 75iu, i yielded 2 i think.

Dr loh originally plan for 300iu puregon, tat was back in March. in consideration i have mild ohss even at 150iu, coupled with scanning reviews, BT,E2 levels after lucrin, he reduced to 200iu.
both him and the african lady feels i am reacting well at 200iu at 13-14 follicles, and i missed a day dose.
i been asking for increment but rejected. i even toyed with idea to self increase, since i have 200iu balance.
i retrieved 9 follicles , which are in lab now fertilizing and getting ready for Friday ET.

i am constantly worrying out of 13, how many will be harvested, and felt the numbers are quite little.
the sistas here are encouraging.been telling me quality counts,quality counts, not quantity. thats wat dr zou says too.
really relieved retrieved 9 and praying all get fertilized.
a frd of mine whom preggy at 8retrieved (7 harvested) gave me the strength and belief quality counts...
 
Hi Ceraine, my last soiui I had 75iu and I had abt 9 follicles. I was triggered on d8 which I think quite early. For my ivf now? I am on 200iu and done d5 jab last nite. Waiting for the scan tml morning...now feel both sides are heavy and strained..
 
Goofie,
Hihi sister!! This morning was clear !!! I was given proluton jab yesterday and I m on Duphaston x2 a day, crinone inserts and progynova think these supports are adequate and the only antidote now is to bedrest , talk to the bb and pray ya ! I was told rest till week6 scan before dr decides if he wants to send me to work ! Hee
 
Peko, my LMP is 28oct and average cycle is 32-34days.. The shortest cycle I ever had is 27days and longest is 37days. What abt you? How many frozen embryos you had? You intend to transfer how many this time?

Calzz, are you gg for fet too?
 
Hi Ceraine, Snuuggly, Peko,

Thank you for your support
happy.gif
Sometime it's good to pour out and chat wif friends

Thank you. Hugs. Will update more, hopefully is good news

Hi Joanne,

The way I make Ginger tea is boil the water, bought some old Ginger, smash it & throw into the water when the water is boil. For me, I didn't put any sugar... So it maybe a bit spicy but it's good for me, cos my stomach always have many wind
happy.gif
hope this help.
 
Hope4bb,
Ure reaction is well.
Yah. Will feel heavy N 酸酸的... As d follicles r growing...

Hi jessica

Hi gals, am at OG now.. Just bought one box of immouncal.. Anyone want me to help get it? Btw, usually u consume how many box of immouncal for one ivf fresh cycle? Two box enough? Thks sister..
 
<font color="0077aa">buddy
my ohss is bad.... my sides still ache. i cant sleep well. after every meal, be it small or big meal, i will vomit. even half bowl of porridge I can take more than 30 mins to finish it. Im still crouching when I walk. Tummy is hard and bloated. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!</font>
 
Peko, you are lucky to have 8 frozen. I only have 3 so will thaw all and see how many survive. Dr Loh say 60% will thaw successfully.. hopefully can transfer 2.
