Dont give up... let's wait and pray. All the best
Hugs..its ok. Try again. Stay strong and positive.Got the call from KKH this afternoon, the blood test result was negative. Sigh.
Jia You. Can always try again. Stay strong.Got the call from KKH this afternoon, the blood test result was negative. Sigh.
Hi all,
I have called up KKH to check if I am to do medicated FET. So the Doctor has given me a green light to do as my last mense was 12 April 2017 (1st menses after ER) and until now I do not have any menses.
I will be collecting the medication and do my urine test tml.
The nurse told me that my 1st medication to induce the mense is called "Dyrogesteron 10mg". Anyone has been given this medication?
I read that this medication helps to induce mense and also help in preventing miscarriage.
But the side effect of this medication is quite horrible.
The nurse told me after this medication, my mense will be arriving in 5 to 7 days. Then I call KKH to arrange for FET to be done. However I'll need to take this medication called "progynova", is it in a gel form?
Hopefully everything will be fine and I'll be able to start my FET soon.
Got the call from KKH this afternoon, the blood test result was negative. Sigh.
Yup that's the right attitude!Yes... don't give up... It was crushing when i got my BFN last year after my first IVF, but I realised that there were many things I wasnt doing right and it got me on the path to be healthier. So resolve to try and prepare your body for this, both mentally and physically. Focus on yourself first, build yourself first... Don't give up. This is part of the whole process.
I think as women who have decided to embark on IVF, we consciously make up our minds to go through protocols of injections, medicine and pain but we are stronger for it. We have been through months and years of pain while we see everyone else around us having babies so easily, some without even trying. But we are strong and we'll get through this.
You aren't alone Purple!
After my egg retrieval, my menses came faster than normal. But the following menses was super long to come (I think >45 days) but it did come eventually.
I was on 3x duphaston (its the Dyrogesteron 10mg) + 3x progynova + 2x3 uterogestran inserts EVERY DAY shortly before FET and for 2 weeks after. The pills are small and easy to swallow, and I didn't have major side effects. The only time I feel side effects is if if I eat the drugs on an empty stomach or near-empty stomach e.g. biscuits only, then I would feel like I am floating and on a medicated drug high which is irritating if I need to think and be sharp at work. I felt more tired some days but its manageable.
Suggestion: (1) make sure u eat something of a moderate volume before eating those drugs and u won't feel 'floating and high'. (2) take the night dosage literally just before you sleep. (3) take the day dosage after your morning caffeine (that is IF u decide to drink caffeinated drinks), then u won't feel so groggy coz the usual caffeine jolt + adrenaline of walking around and doing what needs to be done in the early workday will distract you.
Don't even think about eating those pills on an empty stomach. I floated for more than half an hour.

Hugs purple..Jia you on your plan to become healthier before trying again. Meanwhile do things you enjoy to distract yourself and take care!
Thank you ladies! Me and DH plan to take a 6 mth break to become healthier and lose more weight before trying again. We are both on the bigger side so he's concerned also if I get preggy now, I will be too heavy and suffer from the pregnancy.
jiayou. do update us. is this ur first fresh transfer?Mine is tomorrow and I am so nervous.
Had some symptoms like twinges in my tummy and sore boobs but I took a HPT today and it was negative. I know they tell you not to do these things but I think it was the right thing to do. At least I had a day to be mentally prepared. I could spend my day crying today instead of tomorrow.
Think I'll just go grab some beer or wine tomorrow after it's done.
jiayou. do update us. is this ur first fresh transfer?
any news yet?Just went for my HCG Beta, so nervous and jittery about it. Will only know the results later in the afternoon! So nervous...
Hi everyone, i need your advise. I failed fresh on April, Fet on June. Left 1 frozen blasto only. May i know what should i do and which is the best month to do transfer? I am considering Sept/ Oct but Sept i am afraid that my boss could not accept the fact i need to take HL and go through fet again. How you went through your next transfer cycle while working?

Spotting is not normal but also not uncommon. If red spotting do go o&g clinic for scan and jab. Did yr gync gave you pio jab? I lost mine on wk 8 after red spotting. Brown spotting should be fine but i still go see my gync for support jab on week 6.Question for the ladies with ivf embryos growing:
How often does your doctor order blood test? Is it every week?
What drugs and dosage did your doctor put u on after bfp?
Anybody spotting? I've been spotting on and off, rather worriedfor my 25 day old little embryo Seems like every day could be its last day. Or maybe spotting is normal? I have no idea, can't feel anything [thus everyday I dunno whether its dead or alive] except minor cramping and spotting now and then.
Sorry for being morbid.

Any ladies diagnosed w higher natural killer cells after the autoimmune system blood tests prescribed by Dr choolani/Sheila vasoo? I'm having difficulties w implantation after 2 failed Ivf. Just spent $2k plus on full suite of blood tests w dr Sheila.
Just wondering if my problem is really due to overactive immune system (higher natural killer cells) protecting me fr falling sick (I really seldom fall sick), should I stop all supplements and intentionally make my body weaker and maybe the embryos will implant?
Been trying actively for 3.5 years now and went through 1 iui and 2 failed Ivf fresh cycle. Wanna find out the cause before I go for my next cycle and use up my last round of grant.
Only thing I haven't tried is PGD to test quality of my froZen embryos but that costs a bomb and NUH and KKH are still waiting for approval.
No other apparent issues.
umm... I don't think PGD will help with implantation. it will be more meaningful if your embryo quality is poor or need to test for chromosome issues.Any ladies diagnosed w higher natural killer cells after the autoimmune system blood tests prescribed by Dr choolani/Sheila vasoo?

Thanks. What is pio jab pls? Progesterone?
Suspect I might have UTI coz felt a burning sensation this morning. Still spotting brown but less spotting them yesterday. I NEVER get UTI in the past. Think I will visit the doc.
Uggghh pregnancy is tough - getting pregnant is not easy (and bloody expensive for us IVF ladies), carrying the embryo is difficult even though its just prob 3mm-5mm now. After BFP also dunno whether it will survive 9 mths. So much uncertainty.
How did my mother and embryo-me survive its a miracle I am walking the earth today
If medicated Fet its much easier..just take the tablet daily morning till lining thick den Et den Hl till Bt..i went ahead working.sort of working keepin ur mind preocupied and not thinkin too much.After Et i took 6days leave stay home only a day and rest of leave i go out window shopping.and then proceed working till bt.thus no time to google for symptom.after working keep watching running man funny episodes.laugh laugh laugh.diet din reali control.sometimes indulge in fast food restaurant.Hi everyone, i need your advise.

Question for the ladies with ivf embryos growing:
How often does your doctor order blood test? Is it every week?
What drugs and dosage did your doctor put u on after bfp?
Anybody spotting? I've been spotting on and off, rather worriedfor my 25 day old little embryo Seems like every day could be its last day. Or maybe spotting is normal? I have no idea, can't feel anything [thus everyday I dunno whether its dead or alive] except minor cramping and spotting now and then.

Try think positive.
I was having bright red bleeding with clots in week 6. Scan turned out ok.
Subsequently weeks 7 & 8 on off spotting. Scans were also ok.
Doc said it's quite common for ivf cases to bleed unexplainably. Asked me to observe for unusual cramps tho.
And no more blood tests, only the first one to determine beta level.
i was on both gonal f and menopur. its normal to worry about number of follicles like i did, but the quality of the eggs is what matters. good luck!Hi Ladies,
I've just started my 2nd fresh cycle. This time round, Dr THH put me on Gonal-F and Menopur. Has anyone tried using both injections before? The last round I only used Gonal-F and I have 9 follicles in my 1st scan, but this cycle after using both Gonal-F and Menopur, I only have 4 follicles in my 1st scan. Hope the quality is good since there's no quantity for this cycle.
wow 11354 sounds like a lot on day 27. i was 861.4 on day 18. how often do they test?Thanks for sharing. Glad to know I am not alone in the spotting and its not necessarily a nightmare scenario
After the megadose of progesterone yesterday (200mg injection) I became inexplicably more 'teary'. And my butt hurts where they jabbed. But the progesterone worked to reduce the spotting. Cramping a lot today but very little spotting except for one single bright red clot.
I went for Yet Another Blood Test today, and HCG levels were okay at 11354 on Day 27 (so the embryo is still alive phew). Progesterone level was 197 and the clinic said.... I have to keep on injecting progesterone until my scan on Tuesday. Then they jabbed my other butt with 100mg progesterone So its going to be injection right butt left butt right butt etc until Tuesday. Sighhhhh.
Anyway ladies who are gg thru FET cycle, pls note general info: There is NO 'corpus luteum' present due to the FET process, hence the stability of the uterus lining is sustained by all those manmade progesterone pills and inserts. Therefore, must faithfully take the progesterone pills and inserts especially if u BFP
(Corpus Luteum is a gland in the ovary that secretes progesterone in early pregnancy. In a naturally conceived pregnancy the corpus luteum is present to secrete progesterone)
I suspect that in my case my system expells the inserts super fast (I see them clump on the pantiliner!) and maybe I metabolise the oral progesterone fast so... low progesterone levels. Then no choice got to inject and inject, which is damn disruptive to my work, and my butt

congrats to your positive bfp. its a milestone to achieve.This is my 4th blood test:
- blood test before tww was over, coz i tested positive via hpt but was spotting
-blood test at tww
- blood test coz spotting
- blood test again coz spotting
Basically I kept running to the doc coz of spotting and so he keeps testing blood to check HCG and progesterone levels
HCG doubles every 48h or so, I think your HCG would reach similar levels soon
oh dear. i havent gone to doctor at all when i have spottingThis is my 4th blood test:
- blood test before tww was over, coz i tested positive via hpt but was spotting
-blood test at tww
- blood test coz spotting
- blood test again coz spotting

can share what happens as in what happens after bfp at doctors side. types of medicine,jabs to expect,frequency..just wanted to know and keep for reference in case 1 day i can be as lucky as to hit a bfp and know what to expect. is jabbing progerstorone and inserting progesterone need to be done everyday?

greenleaf and all who have replied,thank you very much. so its not always need to injection. i thought from e post need to inject to 3 months,very glad to hear its not. hopefully i can ever see this bfp stage 1 day.. all e best to you all n smooth full term to each of uNah, the progesterone jab is only if the progesterone blood levels are not to the Doc's satisfaction.
In my case, the meds after bfp were initially exactly the same as what doc prescribed during tww: progynova, duphaston, folic, utrogestuan inserts. Unfortunately I kept spotting so I did recurrent blood tests, the doc said prog level in blood is low, so I got to inject prog and cannot rely on the utrogestuan inserts anymore.
So now these are my daily meds now: progynova, duphaston, folic, progesterone injection. The injection is to the butt, cannot self inject
