I want to say a big thank you to all the ladies here. I realised I was so ill-prepared going into this IVF.
I only started reading the forum here when i started my Lucrin and I was flabbergasted!!
I did not even eat the food and vitamins that your have suggested. I started exercising abit more only that was my only preparation and the folic acid that doc gave.
Now I have to play catch-up.... *keep fingers cross again*
Feeling very stressed up...like I did not do enough like that!
AF arrived yesterday. This is my second failed fresh. It was painful, devastating. Felt totally helpless. Can only cry. I don't know how to get out of this pain now though I know I eventually will. I know I've to pull myself up and try again but I'm so exhausted mentally and physically. Seems like no matter what I do doesn't work.
My only friend who was on this ttc journey with me just found out she got preg naturally and this double my pain. When will it ever be my turn??
Sorry just venting here as I've no one to talk to, can't tell my family. I know what my friends will say if I tell them as they do not really understand what I went through. All they can say is relax, don't be stressed and try again. I cry the moment my hubby try to talk to me, I felt I've disappointed him and let him down.
I can't even pray..I felt like God is not listening to me at all. I know I should have faith in God that He has plans for me when the time is right. But when???
I'm so lost now I don't know what to do next, no energy for anything. Can sisters here please help me stand up again?
My menses just came this morning... Now waiting for full flow. Can't wait to start my fet!
Good luck to sisters who are on this month cycle!

Ladies at kkh,just curious.
e scan doctor for e simulation period is from china or are locals? Friendly ma? Or nasty?
Archie 7,thanks!! I wonder if they scan and only see 3 follicles on day 3,will they ask you to abort the cycle or they will continue with e simulations?You mean the doc on duty who will check your scan results and prescribe the stims? Dr Veronique is from France, but the rest are local. They're all okay if you don't expect too much, as in they won't be nasty to you just coz you walk into their office, but they won't be super friendly as they have many patients to see. I find that Dr Steven Teo is the worst, he's impatient and doesn't like to answer questions, he wants to be done with you asap. The rest of the docs are willing to answer questions but they may not be super gentle, i.e., they're upfront about your risks and probabilities etc.
I do agree that at peace with yrself will help you to go through e rough patches. Jiayou jmec!Extra HUGS to you. Don't compare yourself with your friends as that will only make you feel worse when they conceive before you do. Don't need to apologize for venting here; we all understand that it is difficult to tell family and friends as most of the time, they don't know what to say and will end up saying the wrong things.
God's will for us, including His timing, is perfect. After my last IVF failure, I surrendered completely to God and told Him, "Although my greatest human desire is to have a child of my own, yet not my will, but yours, O Lord, be done." It was only after this that I felt at complete peace to not be stressed over the multiple failures and to carry on trying.
Take all the time you need to rest and recover. Pray for God to give you the peace that you need. I feel that peace is most important now. Because peace will enable you to ride out all challenges/difficulties in your daily life and give you the strength to keep trying. Avoid social media like Facebook especially if you're like me, in that you have many friends posting updates/pics of their babies. If possible, go on an overseas holiday with your hubby to relax and rejuvenate. I understand your feelings about letting your hubby down. I too constantly felt guilty that I was not fulfilling my wifely duties when I could not conceive and even asked my hubby to divorce me and marry another. But I'm sure your hubby cares more about you as a person he loves rather than a baby-making machine. Comfort each other and be there for each other.
Remember, turn to God daily in prayer and surrender completely to His will and timing, and ask Him for peace in whatever His will is for you in life.

how abt the cost? i kinda worry abt the cost.. anybody can share?
Im so sorry about this jmec, can only say that u are not alone in your grief and disappointment. Not speaking on behalf of everyone but I think most of us can really understand how u feel. Give urself sometime and dun blame urself for anything u felt u did or did not do.Thank u ladies for your kind words. I will try to be strong and move on soon.
My BT is this Wed, thought of calling SGH to go down tdy instead but I can't even step out of my room. I've no strength to do anything at this point.

humbaobao,
The problem Im having is I can't pin point exact date of HL or the chance that I can go into HL stage. And if they are very strict, they will ask when will your HL be starting.
So if you plan to take no pay, take it early and plan some overlap between the stage 3/4 and HL.
I can't blame them also as they also need to plan for our absence from work
hmmm.. quite true aso.. c how it goes lor.. mayb after the doc issue HL den i whatsapp her i on HL lo.. c if she ask... if she ask den bo bian LL tell her... cos she aso may need to ans to hr aso...
Your boss will start asking when you take time off from work frequently or MC.
If your on long cycle, that means after Day 8 of stimulation, there will be frequent scans to determine time for egg retrieval. Scans will mean time off or MC?
and then egg retrieval MC again. this will happen in a short period of time. Frequency will be very high.
Anyway you still have some time ahead, can slowly think how you want to deal with it. Or someone can share how they manage to take time off so frequently?
Thank u Jo-ann. Sorry to hear abt your negative BT too. I will recover too, slowly but surely.Dear Jmec, just want to tell you that you are not alone in this.
I also just failed my 2nd fresh cycle IVF few days ago when the BT came out to be negative. I can fully understand the sadness that you are having now.
I do not have any frozen embryos from my 1st and 2nd fresh cycles, so I was very upset like you.
Just cry when you need to, after all we had gone through so much and with hope.
What makes me feel better is after I read an article that said even through naturally conceiving, many tries are needed.
So through IVF, we are just trying to make things possible. However, the implantation is still in God's hand. We had tried our best to what we can.
For me, I try to stay positive now and will review with my gyane and tcm doctor this week to see what are their advise.
I had seen many positive reviews on acuputure before, during and after ET. So I might consider exploring on this too.
Let's Jiayou together!
ya... tat time i got a referral letter to kkh to check my tummy.. cos everytime menses come i will pain..sometime walk aso pain den i take time off to go.. she aso keep asking.. >.<

Jmec, your post brought tears to my eyes. I just failed my FET one week ago and I had the exact same thoughts and feelings as you. Felt forsaken by God.... Sigh, but I know time will heal us and make us stronger and to try again... And also continue to have faith and trust in God's will...hopefully our prayers can be answered soon.

Thank u for sharing. Glad to share here too as I felt so much better talking to people who can finally understand me, giving me strength and direction. I almost wanted to give up again.Jmec, your post brought tears to my eyes. I just failed my FET one week ago and I had the exact same thoughts and feelings as you. Felt forsaken by God....

Hey mothers-to-be, I have been away from awhile. I'm back to update my status.
I stopped visiting TCM since a month ago. I have no patience to wait for result even though I visited TCM for only a month. Acupuncture is painful, Chinese herbs sucks, and expensive.
I came back from KKH today. Had my and hubby results reviewed by the doctor. Everything is fine in my side, my hubby's sperm shape is abnormal, other than that, both of us are ok. I was surprised the doctor allowed me to do IVF for first timer like me. Now is to wait for the hospital to call me to make appointment for IVF. Doctor said earliest appointment is April.
Take care jmec. Allow yourself to grieve and I am sure your hubby is not blaming you. Ivf is not an easy journey, be kind to yourself k? Know that you are not alone. There are us here who can identify with you the disappointment of a failed cycle.Thank u ladies for your kind words. I will try to be strong and move on soon.
