Just went for my IVF briefing at KKH and they mentioned an injection which we need to take in the thigh... Is it painful? Cause they mentioned it's painful... I just want to get myself mentally prepared.

Cannot be no eggs la. But the question is more of whether did the egg ovulate out or not. Also, our bodies sometimes behave abit differently after each cycle. My cycles are also also abit wonky after my last ivf my ov is like really late and I'm also not sure if I've ovulated. U can check your Amh levels during the cd21 blood test as well. Just to be sure ... Don't stress first. And you just took dhea right? Won't be so fast for the effect I guess, if any.

I have low Amh and my cycles hardly yield much embryos. Just 1 or 2. I checked my Amh last October. I took DHEA since May...

ya so i doubt its the DHEA acting so fast, i think your hormones needs some time to settle down. i realized as we age cycles after cycles our bodies reacts differently after post IVF..... quite sad but true. This time i recovered alot slower than my past cycles. sighs....... :( DOnt be stress or depress! I suggest monitoring for another cycle.

I continued my supplements including prenatal multivitamins which included folic acid during stims and only stopped Dhea after ER and CoQ10 only after bfp as per doc advice. No tcm herbs during stim and throughout cycle.

Don't bother to go to KKH. They won't do anything at all. I had spotting and went there twice.

First visit the doc said no need bed rest or medication. Just go home and observe. That cost me $131!

Then second visit 3 days later cos heavier spotting. Doc did urine test and showed I got UTI. Did a swap test to see if got infection. She reluctantly up my duphaston dosage to 3 times a day. That visit costs me $280! No jab or HL. The doc even said if the bleeding is not very heavy and cramps is not v bad then nothing to think of. The doc even said there is nothing they can do if it's a miscarriage!!!

I went to see Dr. Loh the following wk. he scanned and gave me a jab and HL. It only costs me $171.

See a private. Don't bother to go to KKH 24 hour clinic. To them, unless you have heavy red bleeding accompanied by bad cramps, they won't do anything about it...

It's strange. I had bleeding with a bit of clots in first trimester the MO check that there is still heartbeat and gave me a jab plus medication. But he did told me there is nothing more they can do to prevent miscarriages. Maybe your MO on duty bo Chup.

My doc is Dr Loh SF at TFC. TFC standard order is for patient to stop tcm meds during cycle and tww. My tcm doc also wouldn't prescribe tcm herb meds during the Ivf cycle itself but will do accupuncture. She will only prescribe tcm herbs if needed in between cycles.
 
Hi ladies,

Just started my first cycle stim jab last Sat. With NUH. Hope to get some encouragement from this thread.

Things at home hasn't been going well...stressed up, dunno whether this cycle will fail. Sigh...

Thanks for sharing. Seems like diff docs and tcm have diff practice and beliefs. My doc and tcm both say ok to take tcm meds during stims, and its up to me. I also heard other doctors say to stop. Still thinking...

I agree it's ultimately your comfort level if given the green light by both docs.
