Tink can apply makeup and perfume after et?
Nuh is $50 plus help u inject. So getting the vial then still hv to go Pte clinic to Jab will also cost.Oh.. How much did u get the proluton for? I think Govt hosp is much cheaper if I rem correctly..
Are u after first tri already?

Nuh each vial ie 250ml cost $18.20, each time need 500ml so it's $36.40. I used to get hubby to jab for me so will save the cost of getting the nurse of jabbing for me

Dear sisters,
There were some brownish spotting yesterday (3dp5dt) and turned pinkish today (4dp5dt) when I wipe after peeing. Would like to ask if you can share your experiences on this? Is that common? Thanks...
*** BEST OF LUCK! for cycle buddies either in TWW now or soon. Keep fighting... ***

3 days past 5 days transfer, the day of transfer considered as 0 days. As mine is blastocyst, so 5 days transfer.

I have just checked... $36 is for 500ml (not 250ml) at NUH cos that the dose of another gf of mine so yeah $18.50 per dose of 250ml. Over at glenE my gf paid $28.50/vial so if there are any interested parties, just let me know and I am sure she won't have a problem meeting Nuh prices and lower. Most private patients will buy the vial to avoid the trouble of going back to IVF clinic for the jab so we usually do it at GP.

Morning! Can I check if ER will affect the menses cycle? had done ER on sat and mine is FET. Menses is usually ard 20th of the mth but it is alr reporting now... If so, it will be hard to determine my next cycle for my FET, right?
Could be implantation spotting cos for 5days blastocyst, implantation will take place 3 days after transfer while 3 days embryo will implant around 5-6 days later.
Yup menses will come a few days after ER. I had mine 5 days later after ER. My next menses was pretty late and not my usual cycle so I had to jumpstart for my menses to come and prepare for FET.
I went home right after ET and stayed home for 7 days before my hub let me venture out to the nearest mall for a quick shopping trip lol! Just walk at a slower pace if u decide to go out.

Thanks andreanie!! how to jumpstart the cycle? And for FET, when will the ET be? How many days after menses?
Hi all, can I check if it's better to transfer one or two? I have 2 embies but Dr Sadhana is advising to just transfer one due to higher risks of twins and my history of gestational diabetes when my mum carried me. So she suggests waiting till D5 to transfer a singleton. I am so confused.
My gynae gave me Duphaston to standby if I need to jumpstart my menses. Even for this July fresh cycle, he already told me to wait for 3 weeks from my last cycle of latest 4 weeks and then if no menses yet, can start taking Duphaston to jumpstart my menses. Menses will come a few days after I finish eating the pill. I've to take the pill for 14 days twice a day.
For FET, the ET will be around 2-3 weeks after last menses if I remember correctly. Quite fast. Need to eat some meds to make the lining thick and ready for ET. When your lining hits 7mm, you are ready for the transfer.
Hmm I would say it's really up to u. All docs will say if put two higher risks of twins. I've put two embies in 2011 but only resulted in singleton. This year I put one but BFN. So it doesn't really mean putting two in would get twins but the chance is there if you're lucky. One of my friend also put in two but also singleton. Whereas one of my friend put 3 (in 2008) and she got triplets. So the decision is really yours to make and decide.
And for gestational diabetes, even if singleton if it's genetic then some people will get it and some people don't. So it's a 50-50 chance, not definitely u will get it.

For me, I will always put 2 embryos cos the probability of a BFN is much higher than BFP of 2 embryos. Why waste the cycle?Hmm I would say it's really up to u.

It's ok. Just stay positive. I think passing out a lot of gas is good. Even after pregnant you will keep passing out lots of gas...Thanks for sharing gal....was bloated till last Fri but sat onwards able to pass gas (tmi)..and bloat gone for good. That's actually bothering me alot tho should not symptoms spot. And long way for BT.

It would not be necessary. But there are ppl who do that, got special shampoo and body wash also. It is how far you want to go. if you BFP this time then you will continue throughout your pregnancy and breast feeding?

My baby's heartbeat stopped. I have opted for the medication route to flush out the embryo instead of D&C to remove. Has anyone done this medication route? How is it like?
Sorry to hear. Stay strong n look forward to next cycle.
Dr inserted two meds at around 6pm and I only felt cramps around 10 plus but no bleeding. 4plus am I wokeup from sleep with my pad heavily soak and I sat at the toilet bowl to let the clots pass out. U can don't do that but I feel easier than keep changing pad. U will also feel cramp too. Bleeding n clots subsided morning around 11am so I supposed all is cleared. I went back to clinic the next day to check whether I have cleared the sac and no remains inside.
Just be mentally prepared that if u choose this medicated route n the sac wasn't flushed out properly u still need to do d&c. My dr suggest medication because it's less invasive than a surgery but he did warn me that if not purge out I may need to do d&c. It really depends on your pain tolerance level. Take care.

Oh dear.. You're at how many weeks? Basically the meds will induce cramps followed by bleeding. However there's a risk that it will not clear out clean and may need d&c
For me at Nuh, I had to insert the pills every 3 hrs x 4 times. By the second pills already started bleeding

Update FET#1
Jun 09 (Thu), 5dp5dt
- Spotting on and off since 3dp5dt, from brownish to pinkish
- Got the Proluton Depot 250 mg jab to support.
- Countdown to BT : 7 days
my dear lovetohavekids, stay strong. This is such a tough journey sometimes I tell myself that only those who are capable of being strong are put through the test. Have a good cry, rest and start again when you are ready. *hugs*

After such a Long journey, we eventually managed to BFP, but end up its such a short lived joy.. Sometimes when my mood is down, I really wonder whether it's worth going through all these..
Nonetheless, let's continue to support one another until we BFP again!
Sorry to hear that. In ivf sustaining pregnancy is such a challenge. This journey from stim till delivery is a daily labor pain for us. This journey is definitely not for the faint hearted ones and no outsider can understand our emotional roller coaster ride.
Cry it out rest well tiao body and come back stronger gal.
