ooh hahaha, okay i tot u mix ur mamil with yakult. i didnt buy immunocal. heard its expensive also. Well i guess i'll just stick to drink more water and try to gulp the Ensure milk every night. The web article only mentioned Avoc good for IVF cases but duno how exactly it helps.
wah so if everything goes well...next week also my turn for ER? i'm having slight CM liao...

Hi Santhiya, 19 is a good number. Hopefully with saizen, yr eggs will improve in quality greatly! By the way, did u opt for 2 days transfer? Does KKH do 3 days or 5 days transfer? If u have many good embryos, it's better to do a 5DT?

hi there, how was your transfer today? did you check with your doc in kkh whether your lining today is how? they dont do vaginal ultrasound today right just the normal abdominal ultrasound to guide the transfer procedure. so from now to BT day you dont have to go down for anymore testing for progesterone or e2? what medicine support were you given this round? sorry so many qns

hopefully the change of medicine during this cycle will yield better quality eggs, u started royal jelly too right since last cycle. dont know within a short time will the royal jelly take effect as i read before it actually require 90days of consumption before they can start to improve our egg quality but got start better than no start

Hi friends, today went for scanning still my eggs r very small(7 only) They increased my dosage from 150 to 175 and asked to come for scanning on Saturday. i am worried so much. Any one happened the same thing? Now wat can i do? Already i am on day 11. First they started with very low dose (100 only) i think they must be starting with 150 ul.

Same support before n after for transfer for medicated transfer
Ie oral progynova and progesterone pressie. These can only stop after first trimester.
I take aspirin too before n after n will continue to delivery
No BT till 17 days later for bhcg.
Was told lining is already good at 11.5mm last scan n will only grow further. No need to check again.

Hi friends, today went for scanning still my eggs r very small(7 only
my dosage was low to begin with when i 1st started fresh last year, in between like you they increase once and finally they introduce another injection together with my current so total i inject 2 needles daily for last 3days. i stimulate for a good 14-15days cannot remember. during scan my follicles not alot too definetly less than 20 and i remember only few are big and doc told me probably looking at 6-7 eggs that will mature. but during retrieval i got 34
eggs and 24 fertilsed. so dont worry too much sometimes our body during the last few days will work extra hard

i see. my support before et is only cyclogest (progesterone support) no oral support for me. no aspirin too (i wonder can i ask for this) why your doc prescribe you aspirin in 1st place? aspirin is to increase lining right?

This round is artificial thaw, so no ovulation. So need progyona to provide the ovulation hormones. Progesterone is to support pregnancy. 2 r different support.
Aspirin is to thin the blood. So tt more blood go to the womb and increases chance of pregnancy and miscarriages. But i understand not scientifically proven yet. I understand dr S wun give usually as she feels that no guarantee it will work.
I started asprin only at 3rd pregnancy after 2 miscarriages. This time, i asked for it. So started asprin when i started the cycle. It is not the standard medicine tt kkivf will do. I must always remind them to give me. Realised they dun give folic acid too. That's v impt, must take even before starting cycle.

I see jklim. I always thought aspirin is to make the lining thicker. Opps so actually is thin the blood. But we wouldn know if we need this aspirin anot right since they can't test our blood concentration level during the usual blood test right? Now I understand. So I guess no harm right even if one is not require to take aspirin but they took it for prevention. Since it's to make blood flow into uterus.

Repeated miscarriages
Repeated unexplained cases of failures
Some drs will prescribe aspirin to see if it will help.
Taking Aspirins have risks. It has to be stopped prior to any procedure tt can cause bleeding though the dosage is v low for us. It hinders clotting of blood so in situation where there's is bleeding, is dangerous. though dosage is v low, ia better still to stop prior to such a procedure.
Also may bruise easily when on aspirins as blood vessels burSt more easily when we bump ourselves into something.
These r the risks but v low maybe coz of the low dose.

My eggs were also not growing well even though my dosage was 375 IU gonal F. Then my Dr. changed the drug to puregon. He said the eggs grew much better after the change. I guess I responsed better to puregon. In the end got 10 eggs, of which 7 were mature.

Is there a new theory says that FET has a higher success rate than fresh one?
pink_martini
Member
Yes lately I was so bored at home during 2ww started researching. The success rate seems higher than fresh for some clinics simply because the body is at a more natural state compared to during fresh cycle when it's pumped with medicines and hormones.

hi Hazel,
congrats you went thru ET today and I hope you have 2 little ones in you now.
I know a fresh cycle is better but this time I also hope FET proves us otherwise.
Hi pumpkin_pie,
Reading your story makes me recall my exact same situation I was before.
Dr loh is indeed correct and experienced after perhaps many similar cases. He told me to prepare for the worst but still ask me to pray for the miracle.
In end, I lost twin together after BFP one week later after I found spotting turn into a constant bleeding with thick blood clots. It was sent to lab for checking and turn out all normal. It could be unhealthy growth. I cried my heart out for two weeks. It is better to let twin go than trying a number of times to make them stay alive but sick in later stages of growing. Better not, right? We only want a healthy child. FYI, it is FET.
I can see you are stronger than me and I am sure you will be blessed the next cycle try or even this time you can have 2nd. Take care ya!
Hi everyone else on this forum,
I wish you everyone will meet your dream very soon! All the best, ya!
Now I am waiting for the full menses this month and it is FET from the 2nd cycle with Dr HH Tan. I am not confident about it due to my previous case.
As it is very last FET with only one living embryo, I can't bear to dispose as it deserves a chance to live. I don't know if it can survive thawing.
If it don't success, I am truly sad. If it survives, I just leave it for God.
I really love a few more kids but a pity I have to stop because of my age risks.
It has been 5 years since I start the IVF and it was time to close the IVF journey this year.
But still, I am grateful that IVF is the alternate medical treatment and I got two beautiful kids now.
If not for this forum, I really don't know what to do. This forum is a great help and comfort. Thank you for your kind sharing and news.

Miracle_bb, i only hv 2 left. So Thawed 2, and 1 arrested. It was frozen at d2, 4 cells. Which is the right no of cells at d2. 2 cells died during thaw but existing cells multiplied and become 4. Dr tan and the embyroist told me this is a good embyro n transferred 1. We shall see.
Kkivf told me just now chances of frozen embyro surviving thaw is 80%
This is the last try for me too. I shld be one of the oldest around in this forum. Just turned 41 yrs old. Am contended with just belle, my only child if that's GOD's will.
