petals,
yah, i'll be able to start when the july menses start. but my protocol is to start with puregon on day 2 of menses skipped the lucrin and the rest of the schedule for er and et will be the same as the rest of u.
weiwei,
as wat i know, there is only one sono lady at kkivf cos everytime i went for scan it's the same lady. ya, i agree tat she a bit rough and the first impression of her is quite unfriendly. but after some time, i find tat she is quite ok, she recognised me as i went almost everyday and she will strike conversations during each sessions.
happy,
thks for sharing ur story, it's very encouraging.
wish u a smooth 9 mths and healthy baby...do update us whether is a boy boy or gal gal.
seow,
Do not be despair, it's not the end yet, maybe the level is there but not detectable by hpt yet. some pple do have low reading and slowly increasing hcg and still give birth to healthy bbs. Even if u failed tis time remember tat u alredy done ur best. With all the hard work, eventually u will rewarded.

happy, i'm so overwhelmed with emotions after reading your post. related to my hubby also and he also feel for you. He wants me to tell u to relax and rest and be happy. you can do it one.. you are almost halfway thru this journey. take care of yourself and don't worry too much. btw are u still working? i know u mentioned b4 u tried to resign b4 and the co always give u such a good offer u cant resist. that means u must be good, negotiate for a lighter load or no pay leave and take a good rest for the next few months? praying for you.
Seow, you also must jia you. stay positive and talk to embies. i know its an emotonal journey with lots of ups and downs and we should not be made to go thru all this suffering just to have a baby of our own... but sometimes, we do not know what God has planned for us. Trust in your body, and rest well, eat healthy. I;m also praying for your positive news this sat.

Ya Snowball, why u no need lucrin? Can share? I thot must always suppress?
Hi JR...
I wish for u all the best, probably miracles do happen for u...I've just failed my ivf too few weeks ago and it is indeed a trauma, fortunately there is some sense in me to try again.Seen Dr Loh yesterday,he mentioned failure do happen eventhough my embryo was categorized as grade 4 and for my age of 31....he do say that we got to pray for it.Theres no explanation to the failure cos I always tot that it is my lining dat got problem.(I had mild endo).
Happy...
U do give me strengh to persevere in my treatment.For now, I took malay jamu and traditional massage first.Till oct, I will reconsider again.Wishing u all the best till your delivery

hi maplebabies and weiwei,
i dunno why also, tink i only ask dr loh whether got shorter protocol when he said injections for normal ivf is abt 30 days. I couldn't get anymore details as i felt tat he was quite rush during the consultation, and sent us to kkivf for counselling by the nurse.
will there be any difference between cycle wif suppression and one without??

Hi Snow, i think long protocol, meaning with lucrin better leh, cos if suppress properly then better for purgeon jabs later on. U want to confirm with Dr Loh again? I thot he had allowed you to be on short protocol becos your current hormones no need suppression. But then again, most of us will need suppression leh.

Hi Weiwei, ask you ha ... how many bottles of lucrin we will need before purgeon ha? Each bottle how many ML and how big sized is each bottle ha?
I have to travel for work in June, not sure how to pack lucrin into my luggage, whether small enough.
Anyone can also advise how to pack lucrin ah? Must keep it cold rite? What size ice packs and ice bag needed and where to buy?

Hi Happy,
thanks. I suspected my body is still adjusting to lucrin jab cos for the past few days of jabbing worsen my flu condition. I tot of taking yomeishu as well during this period to keep the womb warm but guess can only do so once my system adjusted to the lucrin.
Called and check with the nurse, but she said the lucrin shouldn't cause me to down with flu but well..dun know leh. usually my flu will clear within 2 days but now 4th day. The flu will clear in the afternoon but the moment I jab the next day, the flu syptoms came back. Guess I have to see another GP to clear my flu.
Hi wei wei,
glad that ur bleeding lessen... how's today?
Hi msfamily,
Is it? I'm with Dr Yu SL as well but it seems she is very busy. Have to wait for a while before can see her leh.

Wah..tis thread is moving real fast,trying to catch up!
WeiWei,Pookums,
Thks for letting me koe tat need not shave during ET/ER.
WeiWei,Snowball,
Thks for yr concern. Not sure n dun think i allergic to anything. Skin doc say is Eczema..started to have it abt a mth ago. Can feel my skin quite dry. The steroid cream given has improved the condition but sometimes can feel the itchness coming bk. Told the skin doc i TCC jus in case but din tell dr Loh yet. Will try to stop using the cream n just use normal lotion. Ya Snowball, the rashes bumpy type, at times quite unbearable.

Happy, yr posting gave me some thoughts. On one hand I'm looking forward to start my ivf, on the other hand i muz remind myself to be strong if anything happens along the way...there r alot of uncertainities. I dun koe whether how well can i cope if the same thing happened to me.
MapleBabies, have u got the actual date to start yr Lucrin? U confirmed on long protocol? Feeling excited for u cos once u started, very soon it will be my turn also.
Snowball, me also curious to know y u on short protocol. Initially i hoping to have short proto if i start but it seems like long protocol got slightly higher success rate.

Hi Seow,
I'm new in this column, dont worry too much and I will pray for you that the result will be positive. Remember that whatever may be the result, that is God's plan for you. Have faith and trust in Him and he will not forsake you. I wish you all the best!!!
I'm excited and at the same time confused and worried as I will be going for my 1st IVF this month with Dr L C Foong from Gleneagle. Has been taking alot of chinese herbs to "tiao" my inbalance body and thought of going for acupunture before my IVF.

short protocol has less side effect on ohss, long protocol wil hav better outcome for stimulation part but chances of getting ohss also high. maybe ur body suits both, tat's why Dr Loh put u on short one when u ask him. if nt clear, better ask again.
maples
most of us just need 1 bottle lucrin only as it can last for 28 doses which most of us di take tat much. e bottle s quite small, shorter than lipstick. u need to bring e syringes as well unless u r veri familiar with e environment there which u can find e shop to buy. u better nt to pack it in e luggage as u need to put into a fridge as soon as there s one. r u going by air? u can hand e lucrin to e stewardess n ask her to keep in their fridge while u r in e plane. other than tat u just need a small cooler pack n container only. btw, hav u got e letter tat state u r going to bring injection n needles frm Dr already?
cancerian
ya, my bleeding has lessen since yesterday. but it never go away!!
n same time i hav some menses like feeling over my lower abd, or i should say whole body. lower abd feel tight n sometimes slight cramp, muscle pain, legs cramp, sweeting away... ai........... now just close one eye, take e unusual feelings as side effect of puregon, n just watch e bleeding. take e nurse's word, hormone changing mah, anything can happen.
btw, wat s yomeishu? is it good to warm our womb? where to buy? coz i think i spoit my womb by drinking a lot o cold drinks despite advices frm tcm. with e bleeding now, dun knw is it due to my womb too cold? haiz............
dream
think u better check with Dr Loh whether u can take e steroid cream. meanwhile, try to apply some body lotion which s nt so stimulative or u can choose those has no alcohol content.

Hi Wei Wei,
Dun fret, all will turn out well. Yomeishu is a type of Tonic alcohol drink similiar to Dome. It can help to keep the womb warm if drink consistently. Think range from 38+ - 60+ not too sure of the price cos my hb bought for me. You can buy it from any TCM stores or NTUC. Now I can't drink cos my body very very warm.
Also I really suspected that the side effect of the lucrin for me is the Flu syptoms like. I'm going to the hospital to check with another nurse. This morning, the nurse gave me that answer doesn't seems to borhter abt my condition. Now I have another weird condition, everytime I jab, my menses will flow. It stops at night but in the morning when I jab, the menses will flow. Kinda worry lor cos it is supposed to be the reverse way as told.
Hi Miracle is it the below talk u mentioned? looks interesting, hmm, think I will try to attend too

Been busy since back from trip, now then got time to read through all the past postings and post here. Today my second day of puregon but i did not feel any lower abdomen tightness and cramp leh. However on my first day of puregon i feel a little headache and do not feel well however felt much better today.
Glad that your spotting stop, do take care. Not sure if i am fortunate or not did not have much symptons since start of lucrin except for more breakouts and headache on first day of puregon.
By the way while i was waiting for the nurse on friday, i heard one of the nurse telling someone on the phone that the result is negative and she is not pregnant. Felt so sad at that point...was thinking will i be one of them to hear that from the nurse. Hence also did not feel good that whole day. After that I saw the book where they wrote the result. Out of 6 patients seem that only 2 got postive...really felt that my chance not so good...Sighz..

Snowball,
Me din get to discuss wif Dr reg short or long protocol. During the briefing, the nurse only brief on long protocol and said most people r put on long proto. Think they will confirm the protocol with dr later. Ya in a way short proto is better cos lesser jab..
MapleBabies, did they confirm wif u regarding the protocol when u called up on Day 1 of menses?

Hi Ladies,
Juz a quick questiont to anyone who knows. How long do you wait after lap. to start IVF? I have bilateral hydro. tubes. I doubt it will happen naturally for me as doc ask me to try naturally for 6 months before proceeding with IVF... I hope someone can help.. Have been TTC for 4 years.

Hi,
I'm starting my ivf this month. Does anyone know why some start Lucrin on Day 14 of your period while others start on Day 21 ?
What's the impact ? Does it mean that if one starts on Day 14, there will be more lucrin jabs ?

hee hee..... i m fine. hubby said i was too kan chiong after e bleeding incident.
be patient, once ur af comes, u still hav to wait til D21 then start lucrin. but hor, u wil find it veri fast once u start on lucrin. like me, now only 2 days away for my v/s. should be doing ER on next mon or tues.
jeny
did ur hubby do a semen analysis test? usually if u only hav prob with e tubes, after e op, u should b able to conceive naturally. tat's y ur Dr giv 1/2 yr to let u try on ur own. anyway, ivf/icsi s e last choice of getting preg.

according to e nurse in kkivf,we should hav one more time of menses after starting lucrin. however some of us wil experience spoting or slight bleeding. as long as e spoting does nt become menses like full force, should b ok. mine last for abt 4 days then stopped. there s no way we can stop it. but, while having sex, hubby should b more gentle coz vagina wil b a bit dry due to e hormone changes.
dun wori, u may b lucky n nt going t experience it. me also 1st ivf, kkh, with Dr Loh.
hee hee..... i m fine. hubby said i was too kan chiong after e bleeding incident.

did ur hubby do a semen analysis test? usually if u only hav prob with e tubes, after e op, u should b able to conceive naturally. tat's y ur Dr giv 1/2 yr to let u try on ur own. anyway, ivf/icsi s e last choice of getting preg.

Hi ttc_5yrs,
you are waiting for D21 to start your lucrin ? I'm w Dr Loh (kkh) too, but I'm starting lucrin on D16.
I wonder if it makes any difference.

WeiWei,
Ya everything seems to move quite fast at yr side..u doing ER soon. By the time i start you more or less completed the prog leow.
Btw, the safe sex that we r supposed to follow is it all the way fr D1 till we finished the ivf prog? Does it mean totally abstained or can still use condom?
Wondering how come some of us start lucrin on D14 and some D16??
