Hi Tickles,
Glad I have forum sis here seeing Dr Ann.
I was looking at Care website and see that Dr Ann is one of their specialist. Do you visit Dr Ann at her clinic or at Care? And did you do your ivf counselling at Mt E fertility centre or Care? I'm asked to do the counsellin at Mt E. I'm abit confused as if Dr Ann is working with Care then shouldnt I do the counselling at Care?
And you mentioned that your Dr ask you to eat 12 egg whites a day, was it Dr Ann and is it during 2ww and is it to prevent
OHSS?
Pai seh so many questions.
Thank you in advance!

The other 2 embryos which was being fertilized one growing very slowly, the other not growing

But thank God for the two healthy ones
Thank u sisters for all the support! Yeay! I'm one step closer to experiencing Motherhood! hahaha

Hi all, just had my menopur 2nd jab. Took me like 1/2 hr to get the med ready. Faint..in the process might waste 1-2drops. Haiz....Hopefully it gets faster. Since i got 10 more has to go.

Hi... Just started on my puregon injections.. The pen is a little difficult to press... And took longer due to the quantity I think.. Was supposed to inject 200 every day.
Btw, I saw a air bubble in the bottle.. Supposed to b there or must I try to hit it out? Keep moving it up and down but the bubble remains! Both bottles also have...

Hey Tickles,
I did not know that the egg whites should be raw or half cooked... Hmm... I have been eating cooked egg whites. I thought the reason was for "extra protein".
Hi Cas,
Thinking of you... Have you started your puregon yet?
Hi Usagi, I'm also in the process of egg stimulation. I get my hubby to help me prepare the med but i inject it myself. Maybe you can ask your hubby to help you, so it will be faster?
It's my 5th day of injecting Gonal F, and so far the main side effect i get is feeling hot/ sweating. Not sure if it is due to the lucrin or the Gonal F though.
Also I start to notice transparent discharge... wonder if it is normal...

Hi Jeanne... U are injecting gonal f? Is that the same as puregon?
I started puregon... Need to inject for 9 or 10 days I think. then scan... Then see if can do Er... Not too sure about the flow of things though... A little confused.
But I got a small problem.. The puregon is injected using a pen like thing, is that what u are using too? It's harder than the normal lucrin one. And I got air bubble in both the puregon bottle... Don't know how to get rid of it or whether need to get rid of it??
I just started so no side effects... Only after injecting there is a burning weird sensation at the puregon area. But nurse was saying its normal.

Gonal F and puregon are both to stimulate the growth of eggs.
Last time i did SO-IUI, i used puregon. I think air bubbles should be removed before injection, in case it affects the amount delivered.
Did you get the instruction manual? I don't know where i put my instruction manual already. But to get rid of bubble, what i do is: holding the pen vertically (needle point upwards) and tapping the bottle with the fingers on the other hand.
I am going back to see the Dr on Friday for scan, and think they will determine whether to stay on the same dose or not. I was told I have to go back on 26th and 28th also. ER may be on 28th or 30th depending on the growth.

Hi Cas,
I found the puregon manual online:
http://hcp.organon.com/Authfiles/MMF/data/downloads/Puregon%20Pen%20Instructions%20for%20Use.pdf
Pg 9 says that small amount of air bubble will not affect, so don't worry if your air bubble is small.

Thanks Jeanne for the manual... I try to hit the bottle but can't get rid of it... But how do u hit the bottle when needle is input? Because its encased in the pen so it's kind of hard to get at it... Wil try tomorrow see if can get rid or minimize the bubble..
Thanks!
I'm going next week to scan. Keep updated again... Think you maybe earlier than me by a day or 2.... To do ER.

TCM Dr has refrained me from eating many stuff to help my cough to recover. One of those is my favourite bread but I still have it for my breakfast. Can't believe to eat porridge for breakfast again because I have forbear since young. My cough has lessen but felt the phlegm stuck in the throat for the passed 4 days and tough to spit it out sometimes. Yesterday the stickiness has lessen. At least now when wind blow on my throat, I won't cough. Hope can have that too when air-conditional blowing at me. Can see improvement now. Hope to recover as soon as possible before next cycle.
Been catching up on the posts... Lots of new sisters n happenings!
i1bb, how are u? Hope u r taking good care of urself!
Cock cock & heartbeats, hope both of u are having enough rest!
Saw quite a few sisters on 2ww... Like Mamaleen... All the best!
Me supposed to start my 2nd fresh this month, still waiting for my AF. Late for 1 week already. This is my 2nd AF after my failed cycle. Does the IVF affects our normal cycle days? Shall I just continue waiting? Any advice? Getting a bit worried...Thanks...

Any ladies experience ovaries pull 7-10 days before ovulation? Is it normal?
Fou Fou, some ladies' AF came in early and some delayed due to the injection and medicine taken. You might want to wait a while. Will you be on short/ long in your next fresh cycle?
Mama Leen, thanks. Later will need to brew some Luo Han Guo to speed up the recovery. Sigh... didn't manage to do it for the passed 2 days.

Hello wenwen,
I feeling much better now, had fried bee hong for breakfast, my appetite has slowly back to normal liao.
Woke up at 430am, cannot sleep and drank milo and watch TV until 630am then return to bed sleep until 8pm.
Giddy still abit, but managable i guess my body is adopting the medication slowly and slowly
About the crampy feeling, i get it alot during my D4 & D5, pulling sensation travelling from lower right cervix to left cervix.... But not so much after D6 ( maybe very very mild only) some sisters said the crampy is from ER...

Que Sera,
Yes, I'm with Dr Ann Tan and she uses CARE. I did my counselling with Angela too. But that time CARE is at paragon. Now that they have shifted, I'm not sure if its still the same procedures. But cuz last time I was under the care of DR Tan and Angela so its will be the same situtation when I do my FET now.
Dr Tan instruct me to take the egg whites de. I took it during the stimulation stage. I was told to take 10-12 egg whites daily. And cannot be fully cooked. I rem dr Tan told me that once fully cooked, it doesnt work as well already. So I always take it the soft boil method. I feel it helps to prevent OHSS cuz I had 32 eggs during ER but I was ok. You are also with Dr Tan and she refer you to Mt E fertility centre for counselling? I think maybe cuz CARE shifted so they changed the centre.

Fast hand fast leg right? Haha!

Wenwen,

Wenwen....after ET, I had a lil pro with bowel movement. Within a week, I only passed motion twice, each time very little. Told my doc and she said some progesterone support may cause constipation and she gave me medicine to 'soften' my bowels but I haven't taken any of the medicine yet cos shortly after, i could pass motion as usual (once in 2 days and quite a lot each time). If u are seeing ur doc, u may just want to alert ur doc.
