I've a boy from my fresh cycle. He was a jun 2012 bb so a couple of mths younger than belle.
I just did my ET last fri w dr Sad, KKH. In my 2ww now. Days go by so slowly... Hoping to be 2nd time lucky.
Else will do another fresh a few mths down the road.

I should be in my 2 wks now if this mth cycle dun go haywire!

Did you do natural or frozen FET?
Mind sharing how many you thaw to transfer 2?

I would try anymore if i dun succeed this round. Old leow. Egg quality wun be good anyway.
 


Ya pity. Else we'll be cycle buddies.

I did medicated FET cos dr S suspect I don't ovulate regularly.
I only have 2 frozen D2 embbies left. Transferred both. I though they will not transfer the 2-cell embryo cos 2 cells died. But they said shape looks ok, so just transfer. Maybe cos they r trying to increase my chances. My 8-cell embbie look ok but not the prettiest cos hv some fragments I think.

Me old too at 38 yr (only had 4 fertilised eggs) but will continue trying. I'll regret if I don't try.
 
Hi Ladies.....just wondering have you gers gone thru this stage? As now i'm taking clomid pills for ovulation and just finish the 2nd round of medicine and took blood test result is negative.....am going for 3rd round soon....but seems like very disappointing to know there is no ovulation.....one thing is my menses is not regular I have to take pills to induce it to come (so wondering will I still have chance to have bb?) but me & hub have done all the test everything is ok.....

Thanks;)

Dun waste time e clomid if it does not work after 3 months.. I have ovulation. Good enough from BT. But was put on clomid for 6 months, stop 3 months n clomid again after another 3 months to further improve ovulation. Clomis cannot take for longer than 6 months. Need to break the cycle n rest before going back to clomid.

This clomid thing was prescribed by O&G gynae. Fr what i know, dr loh wun subject this mode to increase chance. Even IUI, he told me dun waste time as success rate too low. We have unexplained infertility

Yes this is what the doc told me also after 3 months clomid have to stop...then have to try IUI or IVF le....but no ovulation still can have IUI & IVF ma? I'm seeing random gynae from kkh...so thinking wanna change to that DR Tan ma....:)

cos for me I have PCOS.. follicles are mostly immature, cannot ovulate properly. AF cycle about 35 days onwards... the problem is i cant ovulate properly or dun ovulate so i have issue with natural conception.

and yes no ovulation can do IVF, cos IVF u need daily hormone jabs to stimulate ur ovaries to produce eggs. they are retrieved and fertilised with ur hub sperms. so by theory, they should fertilise then transferred into ur womb. doesnt matter if no ovulation cos IVF bypasses that.. but in reality not all cases are always successful due to numerous unexplained factors,
Click to expand...

oh understand.....so you have also done the IVF? So meaning I also no need to waste time to try IUI? Yea I understand not all cases are successful during IVF.....just worry will get disappointment.....
 
No one way is 100% success. At least ivf has the highest success rate compared to other methods. And i am talking abt at least double or triple the success rates compared to clomid, IUI, etc
 
I went thru 2 miscarriages, one fresh cycle of ivf, one natural FET. My 3rd pregnancy was 2nd fresh cycle and my girl was fr second fresh. she is turning 2 on Saturday. time flies
 
Tsf if you don't feel comfortable starting yet, then I would suggest you postpone, maybe let your hubby try some supplement then you start planning, take a 3 months break. The ladies here are great, we need to plan, analyze and act, and take the pain..... Hahah, jia you.
 
I've tried clomid for 3 months and it did not work for me... Doc even gave me to the highest dosage but my follicles were still growing slowly... tried 2 rounds of IUI and did not work too... then hubby and I decided to take a break from all treatments and nothing happens that's when we decided to give IVF a shot.... before IVF, all tests also showed that nothing was wrong with both of us but apparently after the IVF treatment, I only had 3 eggs retrieved, my gynea guessed that some of my follicles do not contain an egg... that could be the reason but then we were not sure too coz I did my IVF in KKH but my KKH doc did not explain why only 3 retrieved when scan shows there were about 6-7 mature follicles.... anyway, we were very lucky to get a bfp on the first try..... so if time is not on your side, maybe going straight for IVF is your best bet though no guarantee also but chances definitely much higher...
 
My o&g gynae put me on oral medicine n asked me to try. I had small polyps but he said no need to remove as womb so big, embyro may not plant where polyps r. I wasted ome yr under him. Before he referred me to dr sf loh. Hub was so mad!
 
Hazel, still hv 30% chance huh? Will try try try. Tks!
Wish u success in nx mth's fet!

Straw, is yr BT due today? Hoping to get yr bb dust!
 
It is bfn for me sisters.
In fact I expected it already.
I will prepare my body for my snow embbies.

Happy weekend everyone
 
Hi everyone, I just past 1 week after ET and the bloating is getting so bad my stomach looked like when I was 5 months pregnant with my first child last time. Is this normal? Worried. Otherwise am thinking of seeing doc tomorrow.

U may have ohss. Go see a dr to be safe. Bloated on second week is a good sign.
 
Bloated? Drink lots of fluid. Yes, drink as much as u can. If u can drink 2~3 litres a day, i can assure u, bloatedness will not be as bad.
 
Hope2bb cycle buddy, I'm 1 wk past ET too. So far, had slight bloat n occasional burps. I didn't have any such symptoms for my fresh cycle, not even bloatness. See if drinking H2O n lots of water as suggested by other sisters will help. If not, best to see dr.
 
Those with kids, how do u cope with 2ww? My mum help me full time on first 2 days. After that, it's back to normal. I will get my boy to walk more often but still hv to carry him sometimes.
 
Just carry on w normal life. Dun think so much. Embyros r protected fr harm. Women who r pregnant naturally dunno they r pregnant until 6 wks usually
 
Help. Anyone experience this before? I am on FET. Still taking mercilon. But seems that My menses coming. Not sure is it bleeding cause by hysteroscopy and the endo scratching. Call CHR but they asked me to continue with mercilon. Supposedly start another drug, progynova after full flow.

U did natural? Do medicated next round. I too aborted this attempt as i hv not tested positive LH surge on d24. Dr loh said may not be a good cycle esp when this month was not the norm for me. I hv regular 28 days cycle. After i aborted, LH surge on d25! ANyhow, am doing medicated next cycle.
 
Hazel, yes "natural" but added saizen. Nxt round will be medicated cannot wait and wait liao.

Did you do a scan after LH surge to confirm ovulated? My lead follicle didnt even grow further after day11.

Well, at least we will hv a gong xi gong xi new year and can eat anything we want. Are you trying again nxt month?

Pumpkinpie - good luck for your fet.

Little things in life - congrats! What a relieve to seen the HB. Have a smooth and uneventful pregnancy.
 
Ron, this month is a weird cycle for me. I started w 11.5 and 8.5 mm on d10. 8.5mm grew to 10.5mm after 3 days but 11.5 mm follicle nv grow. Another 3 days wait and this time, 11.5 mm follicle started to grow slowly at 1mm a day. Average shld be 2mm a day. Lining was 8mm, triple layer on d12. All ready. But no LH surge. 8mm lining grew slowly to 10mm n triple layer disappeared!. The 11.5mm finally hit 20.5mm on d24 and lining was 10.5mm tripled! Triple layer lining s the best and usu once gone wun come bk again. The review dr cant explain too. Was told 20.5 mm follicle usu have an egg inside as is huge. Most likely will ovulate.. but dunno when since follicle can hit as big as 27.5mm before it will ovulate. I Aborted cycle on d24 n stopped scanning. On d25, i tested positive of LH surge.

Was told i csn do a d2 scan when menses come to confirm tt all the follicles r gone, in case that big one didn't rupture and form a cyst. But most likely i wun go down do d2 scan since i detected LH surge. Ie in most instances, follicle will rupture n bring in ovulation.
 
Natural fet seems so difficult, so many factors to look into. My ovulation consider regular according to opk. Always manage to detect double line in opk at d15-17 but worry now as need to consider lining and then follicle size. Even if LH detected for my case I don't know if my lining and follicle is according to doc requirements for fet to take places *pray* everything will be smooth the coming month...
 
Congrats, those with bfp.
And dear those with trying for baby or no.2, please continue with confidence.
May God watch over you and bless you all with dreams coming true.

Now I am back again after 1.5 yr absence from this forum.
I am looking among those of you who faced the same problem as me for advise.
I always have very irregular menses either haywire or missing periods.
I am going to try one last frozen precious next month.
Can I process for FET the coming month if I miss this whole month? I wonder..
I must try the next month this expiry frozen storage. I see no point paying another 300 bucks plus to extend another year, just for only one frozen embryo.
Either give up or continue? This question put me in such a difficult decision.

Hope to receive your opinion.

Hi hazel. How are you and your belle? I didn't expect to see you here again.
 
Little things, happy for u! Can finally set yr heart at ease now.
Ron, Tks for the well wishes.
Ron, hazel, natural FET does seem to need lots n lots of monitoring. Medicated seems much easier in comparison cos just need to pop 2-3 tiny pills+Folic daily till scan day. Wish u gals good luck for nx mth's FET!
Miraclebaby, I suggest u go ahead n try medicated FET. This frozen embbie might be yr nx BFP. Little things also strike with her last embbie. So don't give up!
