Went for ER yesterday, but was told no eggs!!!! Anybody encounter this before?

:((

As one of the sisters mentioned n doc/nurses from Kkh do tell me every time I go scan that having follicles <> eggs.
But the bigger the follicles, especially more than 16mm, the chances of egg inside is higher ...

I actually have this worry after my ER too.
As only managed to retrieve 3 follicles from me...

I would think you should call n ask to see gynae soonest.
Not to continue or what, but full report and to have a closure, before going back to CARE ba...

Janices,

Just a suggestion, please ask the doctor for a full report include lab test results, number of follicles and sizes and stimulation drugs that being used. This is for your future doctor's reference.

If they ask to pay medical report, just tell them do a favour print out lab test reports and the rest you can copy in handwriting. I am sure they won't have any objection.

Btw, if you don't mind to share what are the sizes of the follicles before eggs retrieval procedure based on last ultrasound scan?

Frankly speaking I wasn't told about the size n numbers of follicles at all.

Thanks for the suggestions, I shall do that!
 
Hello ladies.

I have been a silent reader these past month and it's encouraging how each and everyone shares their story! Kudos.

I just pass my 2ww and had my blood test taken today. Kkivf nurse said the number 56 is pretty low and I was asked to come back on Monday to do another blood test. Oh my. Both husband and I feel that if this fails, we should do another fresh icsi as I have only 2 frozen embryos.
 
Hazel, just popping in and happy to see you, I am doing my FET on next. Thursday. Just went for my D13 scan with dr Loh today.

Anyone has transferred embryos from KKIVF to TFC? I have filled all the forms at both centers but to date no one called me about transfer being done. Was totally blur when Dr Loh asked me whether my embryos are transferred to TFC
 
The weirdest part is I do not require extra progesterone support in terms of jab cause doc say my test shows ok maybe even in high range thou some say no standard readings for progesterone just an average. I just need to continue with the basic cyclogest twice daily inserts. And I do not feel tired and sleepy at all. In fact I got problem sleeping. Don't know what is wrong with me. Haiz not a good sign. Totally no signs of early pregnancy for me. Suddenly the "worries" just kick in....mbbhopeful soon you will be free of the guessing. Ur beta test is coming week right? Jklim yours also right?
 
Hi ladies..today is 8dp2dt..have been having slight cramps still accompanied by severe bad aches..have been hearing wierd rumbling sounds from tummy....yesterday felt so giddy and slightly nausea..very afraid that I have failed this round..:(
 
Santhiya your symptons looks good, I see quite a few sisters feel giddy during the tww and ended with positive. At least your cramps are still there means still got some actions within your womb. Could be embryos implanting these few days. At least better than mine doesn't look positive no symptons at all. I losing hope as the days tick by. if transfer of hatching blasts still doesn't get me a bfp I really no more confident in future already :(
 
Gan1972, how many embyro u r transferring? I only had 2 left n 1 make it after thaw.

Iwantahealthybaby, yes, next wk.
 
Hazel, I was asking dr Loh yesterday shld I transfer one coz I am afraid I wld have multiples as you know my age. But he said better try 2 since last round I put in 3 only had my little gal.

I have 6 snow babies left, but not sure how is the qualiy, if thaw ok, guess will transfer 2 as he suggested

Hi martinieliz, I think their std is 250. Did they give u extra supports? Why do another fresh cycle When u can do fet?

Iwantahealthybaby, I'm also starting to lose hope as it has been silent for me after I experienced bad cramps on 3dp5dt n 4dp5dt. No bloatedness no giddiness. boobs are still a little sore but may be due to progesterone. I wonder if my embbies have failed to implant.

Some sisters have bfp without any symptoms but I always think.having symptoms is better as least there's some activity gg on. Let's pray hard!!
 
Gan, dr goes by probability of getting multiples. I hv exactly the same concern as u. So was in fact relieved when only one made it. Anything can happen, transfer 2, can end up w 2 or 1. But the real lucky one, like my colleague has 3! One split. So she now has 4 kids, one boy fr earlier fresh cycle and a triplets where one pair identical twins.

I m quite Zen abt it during 2ww. Hv gd dun hv also fine. I was carrying belle, 15 kg yesterday night n thereafter i had sharp pain in The centre of the abdomen. :p
 
Hi martinieliz, I think their std is 250. Did they give u extra supports? Why do another fresh cycle When u can do fet?

Well, I figured since its my first ivf, might as well do another fresh. I don't have a left ovary and my right fallopian tube is damaged. Might as well take all I can out from my right ovary. Lol. FET is cheaper than a fresh and since I will be getting grants, might as well aye? :)

I was bleeding last night. Said goodbye to the embies in me . disappointed, yes definitely.

If you are bleeding better go hospital to check and to get more support. Please call kkh to let them know
 
Hi I am new to this forum. I want to know if anyone is with Raffles hospital and has a successful IVF? This is my second attempt with this hospital and I have 2 x day 2 embryos transferred. My first attempt with the same has failed. Very disappointed.
 
Hazel better be careful , try not carry belle standing too long. Waaa belle is good weight! My gal only 13.8kg and she is 1 year older!!

This time round my lining was much better than the last FET.... Still quite undeceived about one or two..my Pap smear also show some as adnormalty cells with undefined nature but dr Loh said should not be a concern since Pap smear last to is ok, said proceed with transfer
 
Gan, Belle just turn 2 end Jan. Her height n weight r on 98%. She is tall at 92cm, towering toddlers her age even her elder god bro is half a head shorter. Her god mum said she looks more than 3~4 yrs old which is true. The USS rides n shows, she loves them! Not scared at all.

So ur ET will be in march, better call n confirm embyros hv been transferred over.

Mbbhopeful let's hope we can be the lucky ones with no symptons but to a BfP. Your bt is coming Thursday right?
yeah gd luck to both of us!! my bt is on Friday haha. Hope I dun see AF before that! I still rem in my first cycle when I used utrogestran, AF still turned up punctually. so ur bt is next next Monday?
 
Mbbhopeful, recap me. Which hospital r u from?

My BT also on fri but is d16 for me post d2 embyro. I will test prior to tt to prepare myself.
 
Jklim I'm from kkivf. Oh our bt r on the same day! U have bloatedness right, which is good! I wish I was bloated lol
 
Hazel TFC called this morning, embryo transferred there. My ET 1030am in Thursday.

Is e a picky eater? She is growing very well
 
No mbbhopeful my bt is on next next tue lol, damn freaking far away...I also hope my af don't report. In fact I lost count which day should come since this cycle I ovulate late which is not like my usual month. If it's a 30days cycle then af will report anytime tdy onwards to early next week. Hopefully you and jklim can spread positive news over this forum on coming Friday. I be waiting to catch you girls bb dust.

Hi Santhiya86 don't worry. I have the same symptoms like you and worst I am having bad headaches too. Just stay relax and 2ww will pass by soon.

I hope AF wun turn up like the last time..I have abt 8 - 9 days to go for the BT...the last cycle,AF reported on 11dp2dt..now got phobia already..can't sleep well also..hopefully all this symptoms are for a good reason..All the best to u too :)
 
Ladies, just a thought. Some say progesterone inserts delay af and once stopped af will report if not pregnant. But why some ladies af still report despite the daily inserts? And some no report but bt negative. Is it true that progesterone inserts really delay af?
 
Well, belle eats well. As long as the food tastes good. Before she share food w us, her carbo was brown rice. N she still drinks more than 500ml of milk daily. Milk addict. Also, she seldom falls sick... cant even remember when she was last sick.
 
Not true progesterone will delay menses. Depends on each own body. Just like some, pregnant nausea, some dun even feel a thing!

Like progesterone slows down my bowels motion... not all will experience tt
 
Jklim I think this cycolgest slows down my bowels too. Just yesterday I wake up feeling constipated. Keep wanting to release but cannot. All the way till night then finally manage to BOMB! other than that not much effect. Thanks for your info.
 
Iwantahealthybaby, af shld usually report 14d after ovulation. So mine is abt next Mon. Ah hope she don't come. I'll be waiting to catch niko and denmeg 's bb dust since their bt is on Thu haha.
Today I'm having flu, keep feeling sleepy. I shall go take a nap after inserts.
 
Hi ladies, can we take antacid or 100 plus for our bloatedness? Will it effected our chance to BFP? I am so so bloated and today only second day of ultrogestan.
 
Mbhopeful at least your sleepiness kicks in. Still a sign. I am feeling energetic whole day. Haiz. Oh ya for me my af usually comes 11-12days after ovulation detected on opk. Which makes my LH phase shorter since after positive opk ovulation usually happens a day later which makes LH phase 10-11days only. Maybe that's one of the reason why I cannot get preg naturally. Short LH phase ;(
 
Love g, I think 100 plus not a problem. You are in tww now? Maybe drink at room temperature instead of cold. In moderation should be fine. After er there are advise to drink isotonic drinks too so I guess shouldn be much problem.
 
Iwanthealthybady, thanks, not in 2ww yet, ET keep postpone due to poor lining. Hoping for next week. How are you feeling so far? Waiting to receive by your bbdust next week. ;)
 
Love g, if you haven't in tww then isotonic drinks is ok. Heard egg whites also helps. Jiayou. My lining is also terrible to begin with make me sweat till the very last few days before I need to cancel the fet. Me also hope to be the one dusting the bb dust into here...but so far no symptons just like my 1st fresh cycle. So demoralising but this time round I just wait for bt I won't do hpt.
 


Your embryos look good, high hope for you, don't worry so much, just relax and enjoy your 2ww, don't bed rest too much, have a slow walk is good also. Jiayou
