hi 12bmom
yah duphaston can be used to treat irregular menses...
and as i suspected, my menses is here since tuesday brown staining and wednesday fresh blood. So i called the clinic to ask and was asked to stop the duphaston (the last cycle i took for 10 days and my menses came 4 days later). This time i only took for 7 days and menses come liao.
and also start my Gonal F injections straightaway. and my first scan wld be on 13th july. normally i shd start the injections on 3rd day of menses but coz last cycle i ovaluated fast, so my cycle was abandoned.
hope this time i wld even have the chance to reach ET!
can't help but feel really lost for FET compared to fresh cycle. seems like fresh cycle is more monitored and under control.

Minako, are you still on tcm medication or just accupuncture after your ET? What is the ideal size of folicle that KKH (are you with KKH?) will harvest?
Or any ladies from KKH can advise?

Sunstillshines,
For fresh cycle, once your follicles are above 16mm they will arrange for trigger and ER.

Grace, I did my fresh from TMC and somehow I find that KKH procedure are quite different. May I know why did you have a bt? Are you in your 2ww? what kind of bt this is for?
Does it means that when you did your ER, you are not aware of the number of folicles collected until ET and from this report?

Sunstillshines,
Grace collected more than 15 eggs, so the bloodtest to check for OHSS. Less than 15 no BT at KKH.
At end of ER you will know how many eggs collected but won't know number fertilized until ET.

Flowers, does KKH harvest all the folicles or just only the matured ones and leave the rest of the them inside the womb?
grace & flowers thanks.
To all ladies, jiayou. Never give up. My journey is still long way to go but I fight all the way. As I write b4, I was sick 4days after ET, bleeding few days after BFP and warded but I do my best for the precious one. I know my journey is still long way to go but keep the spirit to do the best. Yes we cant change what destine for us but we can do our best, and after all we will never regret! Have faith. I pray for all of u!
Babydust to all!

sunstillshines: BT is to test the level of progestrone, to see if additional support is required.
i'm in my 2ww. from the blood test form, it was specified as day 8 today (counted from day of ER).
bt for preg on day 18.
during ER, already know 18 retrieved.
during ET, they informed confirm got 6 embroyo, but may have more as some still under cultivation.
so now confirmed 7. i guess my case is a little special cos normally by ET the no. of embroyo should be known.
then i kapo ask them how many cells the embroys are... 4 x 4 cells, 3 x 3 cells, transfered 2 with 4 cells.
i find kkh staff are quite nice...
i dont know what is their criteria for harvest, but need sufficient >= 16mm before trigger release.
flowers&fruits: OHSS test was done on ER day. as OHSS test was ok, then proceed with ET.
not too sure what will the scenario be if OHSS test not ok.
su: so long no OHSS side effects, should be ok one.

Grace, please don't read too much on the number of cells, ok? Don't compare with others too. From my last failed FET, I realised that it is more than meet the eyes. Just rest and relax during the 2ww.
I am just curious if KKH just leave the rest of the folicles inside the body and only retreive the matured ones.... ...
If OHSS is detected, normally it will be ET not fresh transfer.
Are you still taking Immunocal?

Shainie, singleton is great.. Congrats!!!!
miracle_baby, as long the embbies able to survive thaw, they are super strong! 1 more step towards bfp
Serene, always drink warm water & use heatpad on your womb to improve circulation. After et, no warm compress hor. Avoid cold drinks/food as much as possible.
sunstillshines, I'm on fet but still on tcm & acu all the way. Prior et, i went for intensive acu (3days). After et, no more acu but continue take Dr Zou's 2ww tcm.
During er, most of the growing follicles will be retrieved but only the mature ones will fertilized. Mature size is usually >15mm.
away, today is 8dp3dt for me! It means 8days passed a 3day transfer. Hope it helps!
Grace/Blessing, I'm also having cramps plus constipation. Sianzzz

Grace: Hope the extra medication u collected can help push up the progesterone support it needed. Actually i also not very knowledgable on this support thingy. Jus go with the flow. Cramps return for me since last night. But my constipation is ok liao. gotta a medication from kk nurse when i mentioned to her my problem when i went for same the blood test as u. U Hang on yah.
Minako: If ur constipation is not v serious, can try eating prunes. Mine was quite bad with hard stool (sorry for mentioning this) afterall i was constipated for a week. but after taking the medication, i can pass out smoothly but must wait for 2 days to take effect. Pl take care.

Kimmy, How is your scan today?

Hi Su & Minako,
Scan today shows biggest follicle at 15.5mm. Doc (different one today, Dr Veronique I think) mentioned to come in tomorrow for another scan and most likely ER will only be Tues/Wed. Hah, so far off from my initial. I guess cuz while the biggest is at 15.5mm, the rest are an avg. of 12mm so need a bit more time...
Hi Tanny, yup for me on short protocol once af reported, I called kkh to report day 1, then they will ask me to come in on day 2 for a scan to ensure no cysts before they prescribe you with stim.
Hi miracle baby, happy 2ww! I can't wait to be in that stage. haha.
Happy weekend everyone!

Grace, how was your visit today? So meaning you took BT for progesterone reading and KKH has prescribe you oral medications? Will you need to go back for more BTs to check on progesterone level? Don't worry I'm sure with the support that kkh is giving you, its going to help!
Hi Su,
Congrats! Your scan sounds like its good! Wow, your lining is thick. Must be all that nutrition you're taking! I should have done it too!
my scan went well. My lining only 8 mm though.. boohoo. Had I think 7 eggs on the left, 9-10 on the left. Biggest was 17.5 mm, followed by two 16.6 and 15.5 mm. The rest were 12-13 mm, about another 5-6 of them. The rest were v small (between 7-10 mm). Doctor said most looking good, so will er on Tuesday morning. How about you? When are you going to do er?
Kimmy, I'm sure you'll get there! Jia you!
Blessings: ya, lactulose is recommended to children with constipation, even those that are a few months old. So it should be safe
Grace: all the best!
Shaine, congrats! Enjoy the next 9 months!
