Drink lots of water, it helps with the bloatedness.
I experienced that also but not unbearable. So i drink lots of water.Today is D10PET and i don't feel that bloated anymore. Only after meals, i feel bloated (hope it is not because i ate too much) hee...
But my breasts still feels tender. When i tried to press softly, it hurts abit, like muscle ache. Other that that, no symptoms.
Your bloodtest is pretty fast, i had my ET last Monday but bloodtest on the 15th Nov. At least u dun have to wait this long like me...

pupi,
I did my ops under Dolly Wee from Mount E. Actually come to think of it, maybe i shouldnt have gone thru the ops and jump on IVF that time. At least it can spare me the scar on my tummy.
Stardiva,
That is good. As least you wont feel so bad.
Some ladies also take egg white and ensure milk when feel bloatness.

today is only my D4 of ET but the doc says can go for blood test on 15th. i wonder if test so early can detect or not.
although my tummy is bloated but strangely my weight has been going down and it has gone down like 1.5kg since last friday.
i only feel a bit like menses cramp when i get up to walk, other than that no feeling at all.no tenderness of breasts etc

I don't even dare to go near the scale. Cause i've been eating quite alot since the start of the treatment and also cut down of outdoor activities (i like jogging and jog abt 5 times a week), so i definitely put on some weight. But as long as the results positive, it is all worth it.
Maybe u are too stress up...Try to stay positive. I also have cramps (like premenses symptoms), hope it is nothing serious.
Do u have to go back for HCG jabs?

your follicle should be catching up soon... yes.. sounds like u are going to have ER soon..
Don't be upset about the few numbers of follicle, they could be very good quality ones.. Ximi managed to conceive even with very few harvested..
Me! suffering right now... both ovaries feels like wan to rupture already... got that burning sensation on both sides... Hope it's not early signs of OHSS... Scanned on Wednesday and follicles are ranging between 10 mm to 14mm, only one at 15mm...
I think Little Twin Star still sleeping.. she didn't sleep well last nite.. She also went for her scan today..

Pupi, Dont worry. They will be good eggs and some more might be seen on next scan. Be positive. Ximi was lucky, so will you.
Tigger,
HI. I remember my ovaries were quite sore from the stimulation too. OHSS usually happens only a few days after ER, so its too early for that.
Some swelling and discomfort now is normal...
All the best.

Thanks for the info.. Now I'm feeling so uncomfortable ... can't imagine what it's going to be like when it's Post- ER and Post-ET...
Pupi
I can't recall how many follicles, I was struggling with the pain during the scan.... think it was something close to 19 ( big and small)... I did not ask the nurse the number.. just happened to glance at my record and saw it..

12DPET and i decide to test on HPT. As expected. it is a negative. Although i say "expected", but i was still hoping for something. Not even a faint line detected. One thing for sure is that the HCG jab is out of my system.
Really disappointed. Going to be a terrible weekend.

stardiva,
u can quickly write to Dr Loh via email, cos he shld have clinic at TPS this morning n will have email access. If not, then call TPS to check with his nurses (either Sarah or Angelyne), but I'm not sure if he entertains phone calls. You can try both. All the best!
As for the pregnyl jab, don't worry. i did mine at the 24-hr women's clinic n one of the young nurses did for me on the thigh...not painful, unlike some other stories I heard. So I was relieved.
Viviself,
I think at D12 maybe only blood test can detect, but still a little early to use HPT. Try HPT again in 2 days, and use a more sensitive one (maybe clearblue?).

Twin stars,
Did the doc on duty tell u that yr follicles are growing well? If yes, I think shd'nt be too worrying, yr follicle shd grow to the right size by then.
That time, i got 2 scan...the last scan on a Fri and my 15 follicles only between 6mm to 12mm. I was told to continue Puregon and my ER was on Tue. Tat time i also thinking whether my follicles will be too small or not...but..ended up doc retrieved 24 eggs and i got 17 fertilized. So, i think sometimes the scan may not be tat accurate.

Now not so aching liao.. but there's still a little chest pain..
Pupi,

oh. This is long overdue but I thought i'd share my earlier ER experience.
Everything went well, except for the anaesthetist... forgot her name. anyway, while i was lying down waiting for the doc to arrive. The nurses started chatting about someone - that the person said dun call her, just sms her. But they had done so and she had not responded. So when she arrived, she scolded them for not calling her. Then one of the nurses commented "Aiya, ask her to get her own secretary. we are not her secretary." Little did i know they were talking about the anaesthetist.
When she finally arrived, she sounded quite professional. But it took her 3 tries (ouch!) to get the intravenous into my hand. After the second try, she asked me curtly " what did you put on your hand?" With the oxygen mask over my face, I tried my best to reply that i had only applied some hand cream in the morning cos I have eczema. She looked irritated and started very harshly to wipe my already bruised hand with alcohol swab. Shouldn't she have done that to begin with?
Anyway, after i awoke, i asked one of the nurses and she said "She's like that. The only doctor here who is very difficult."
Sorry i forgot her name, but if you ask the nurses they will know.

12DPET and you can't detect anything. i am really wondering if they can detect anything on me this thursday as it will only be my 11th day.
sigh
joanna
that sounds bad. i had same experience at NUH last time when i did my colonoscopy. the anaesthetist poke 2 times on my left hand and once on my right and they even start the procedure before i fell asleep.
thats one of the reason i went to a pte hospital this time round. the nurses and anaethetist are very nice and helpful.

Anyone knows if KK issues just 5 days of MC for the ET? Or do they give 2 weeks like other private hospitals?
Helpme, consistent high temperature above 37 degrees is a good sign.
Apart from a little bloating I dun have any major reaction to the Puregon yet. Not sure if this is a good sign or not?

Have a gd rest today after ur ERs. You might feel a little cramping this afternoon when the sedative wears off. Can take panadol if it gets too painful. But tmrw shld be back to normal. Did they tell u how many eggs were retrieved?

hi all,
hope you all dont mind i join this thread. I was just converted from so-iui to ivf. My body was over react, too many follicles with only 50iu puregon.
am now very worry, half way only jump into ivf, not sure whether the eggs are all right for ivf, anyone can share with the experience ?
anyone with kk ? i m under dr loh, but have no chance to talk to him since i started so-iui, is this a usual case ? they will only let the young dr explain to us ?

Petals, the other things about the anaesthetist which I thought was rather 'bad bedside manners' was - when I asked if everything was ok when she failed to put the IV in twice - her reply was "No! everything is not ok" Imagine... I am lying there with oxygen mask on and feeling a bit tense... no way to treat a patient.
I wish that none of the other sis get her.

kbc,
I'm not sure abt IUI protocol. Anyway, u can call up the kkivf nurses to ask them or email Dr loh if u have any questions. If too many eggs, they can't do IUI cos risk of multiple pregnancy (imagine if u have > 3 eggs for IUI!), so they will need to do ER to extract ur eggs.
Jo,
Sounds like she was having a bad day. For me, it was also a lady n she seemed ok and i knocked out pretty quickly, so didn't talk much.
