Big congrats to sisiters who bfp.... grabbing baby dust from you
Just did my ET today. Today KK super crowded. Got 10 ETs today and I waited almost 2 over hours for my turn! Only transfered 1 Grade 3 and 1 Grade 4 for my FET this time. But as what Dr Loh always said, grading does not mean anything. I had a Grade 5 and 4 last round also failed... so i think most important is to take good care of ourselves during these 2 weeks....

Ritzc,
We are officially 5 weeks preggers today.. We count from ovulation day(ovum pick up) to today is 3 weeks and then add 2 weeks to that to complete a cycle..
Our due date will be 23 Jan 2012 for singleton and for twins, it will be 1 Jan 2012.. But the correct EDD will only be given after they have done the scan and age our sacs.. That is all I know for now.. We will be having our first scan around 7 weeks of our pregnancy..

bluenosebear - thanks for your advice ^_^ I did my ET on 18th last Wed, so today is the last day of 1ww?? Lol 
what about after 2ww, do we still need to do?
tanny - the stimulation stage passes very fast
since its shorter than suppression usually.. depending on your reaction to the stimulation... i finished mine in 10 days
what about after 2ww, do we still need to do? tanny - the stimulation stage passes very fast
Hi all I'm new here. My hubby and I have decided to go through IVF if his hormone test and chromosome test pass. Still cannot make up my mind if we should go ahead with the govt or private suite? Read alot of negative remarks abt the govt of their unprofessionism. So now considering Dr SF Loh. Anyone has done your IVF with Dr Loh, and how's his charges?
Bb nn, ur reading is taken quite early so should be quite high by now, and u conceive before, should have higher chance, all the best
my reading is average but got rashes, backache, zits outbreak after bfp. really hope all these annoying symptoms are worthwhile. Just venting la
Mabel, about a day or two before BT I'm already less bloated, though still puffy. I also look like two months preggy now. Think this could be side effect of the pregynel jabs coz I initially lost the bloated feeling after ET but got it all back after the additional pregynel jabs.

Hey Sweet Angel, I did mine at SGH with Dr. Yu. She was highly recommended by my gynae (she's in private practice). Because public hospital is cheaper and there's govt subsidy, I did it at public hospital instead.
I think a lot of the sisters here are with Dr. Loh at KKH.

Bingo, after each pregynel jab I tend to get very bad stomach pain at night, nurse later tell me that it is most prob gastric pain. Think not everyone gets such side effects but it is quite terrible pain. Wouldn't mind getting inserts if the side effects are lesser. Anyway hope u have a smooth 2ww
Thank you - daintree!
Hmm I keep seeing this aroun " I'm a poor responder ". What does it mean huh? Is it means can't respond to the stimulation drugs? Then means follicle not growing well? So dr need to switch hormone drugs?
I'm can't relax easily n feel very uptight with work n this ivf treatment to come. Tell myself to relax relax especially when coming to it but my heart is heavy n like a load weighing on it evenwhere I'm trying to sleep now.. What shld I do ..... How to make me more relaxed...... Is it my work or is it me....Sorry just venting ... My topic a bit off here....
I love to hear u all getting Bfp! Everyday im glued to this forum , listening to yr updates. Really pei fu u ladies being so brave throughout this emotional journey... Can feel the ups and downs through out..... Everyone jia you!!! Including me!

Me and my crazy thoughts again... How will the suppression stage be impacted if we can't relax to the best? Maybe the eggs quality is lousy? Pls share with me... As my work place is terribly shorthanded, I having a dilemna whether to apply 2 wks to 1 month (paid n unpaid) leave prior to stimulation/ injection or sanyonara totally.... I'm must admit I'm a bad handler at stress... I get uptied easily...
Btw, is stimulation n suppression the same or different stages?

Tanny- stimulation was alright. It is after ER which gets uncomfortable. And also after ET, it is best to rest a few days. For me, I took off after ER till first wk into 2ww. 2nd wk of 2ww, I took half day off everyday. If luxury permits, take whole stretch off is good for u to relax .
Tanny, if u r w kkh and doing a fresh cycle, u will be given 2 weeks hospitalization leave from ur ER til ur bhcg (pregnancy) bloodtest. That would be paid for by ur company.
It is good to keep a job for financial freedom and meaningful thing to get through the days. My job poses occupational hazard so I took a year off, but just wondering yesterday how I'm going to pass my time. I do online trading occasionally but not the adventurous type. Maybe I will do home tuition. If u have a job, dun have to think so much.

Tanny - dont stress dont stress... sometimes i realized, its the stress that we tell ourselves not to be stressed that causes us unduly stresses
...
whitetiger and ritz is right.... u can either rest throughout if u have the luxury of time, otherwise taking this rest during 2ww is ok too ^_^

Koiric, after bhcg BT u have to wait 2 more weeks for scan to know whether u get singleton or twins.
Daintreez, I get backaches thru out 2ww and even after I bfp, but the rest of the ladies who did ER with me dun seems to have. Everybody responses differently to the meds.

Hi RitzC >> I hope so too, tomorrow have to see DR at noon time, cross fingers and hope everything will be fine, i will update when i am back to the office after the scan.
For me also the same, my face skin started to get dry and is peeling, i see my face like that i also scared lor, this morning has gone to my nose also.
Hi Sophia >> Dr just told me to continue with the 8% inserts till he sees me tomorrow, aside to that just folic acid that is all. My ET day on the 1st May - Labour Day hehehe.
