BlesswBB,
Tell u wat...I hv tried all kinds of means to treat my endometriosis. i have met a TCM @ Jurong, the one opp IMM where I have to queue very early in the morning. It does not help at all instead my cyst grew even bigger & had to undergone a cystectomy & fallopian removal. I dun blame the TCM but I guess Malay diet is different coz we take spicy stuff, and I tink it plays a part too when taking TCM med.

hi miss hae, nicole,
congrats on your twins!!! hehe.. such good news. must throw confetti already all over! hehe..
hi yck,
can i congrats you in advance? hehe.. i hope the positive is a good sign.
hi blesswbb,
yeah i totally understand what you mean. you'd expect some sympathy after what you've gone through right? hmm.. i guess, if you give him the benefit of the doubt, he's handling a lot of patients.. perhaps that day he's just lapse in the PR part.
hi all,
its my first puregon jab today. did it at kkivf in front of the nurse. yeah, she coached me thru every step of the way. the injection itself wasn't that bad. in fact, i don't really feel the same pain during insertion like that of lucrin. but the effect after that.. woah, had to hold my tummy for about 10 minutes to sort of ease the pain but of course to no effect. had to just let the ache ease itself. i hope tomorrow it won't be so bad.

My endometrisis is not control by Dr Zou but instead control by her cousin Dr Xia. I went to Yu ren Sheng....the only trouble is that the medicine hv to be boiled. U can check with Dr Zou she can help u.
Catzeye
I know which TCM @ Jurong you referring to. Although she is famous but most of us here think she can't help much. I went there too 2yrs ago. Yes you are rite the cyst actually grow even with the medicine she prescribe. But then after i went to Yu Ren Sheng my endo is controlled. I like spicy food too but that's not 1 of the reason your endo still there. Most of the time is due to stress that cause it. Just don give up on TCM. U just haven find the right person to cure u. U know what? I went to Dr Zou today and is happy to know that my womb improve. She said if this maintain the next few mth i will be ready for my FET.

Merlenna,
Maybe you are right. Anyway i hope this FET will make miracle and will see things in him differently.
Try not to hold to your tummy after the jab. After u hv push in the puregon let go yr tummy then pull the needle out it will feel less pain. Oh btw, after a few more puregon u will find it more painful cos u cant find anymore fats around for the jab. Good Luck!!!

hey!!! that's scaring me!! hehe.. the part that is painful is not the injection part.. its the ache after that! that's why i was holding the my tummy after the jab hehe.. i'm disliking the lucrin more now coz of the syringe. can't purchase any other coz that's all they have in kk.
gosh, i never thought i never say this, but where's all the fats when i needed it! hehe..

BlesswBB,
Yeah u r quite rite perhaps I hv not found the match to my cure. Even tried supplements & oso traditional Malay massage. Anyway where is tis Dr Zou? Is it accupunture or medication. I can't stand the smell of the medication & I hate brewing them. When I have sum stomach pain I always picture that my Endo returns...but rite now I try to keep myself very occupied in order nt to tink abt it at all.

hi all,
today is my 12th day past transfer. tested yesterday and this morning, its still positive. not sure whether is it too early. i really hope that it is true positive.
ms hae,
my actual test is 17th day from transfer, that is on friday. but if were to follow other centre waiting of 14 days, it will be on tuesday.

anyway im not taking it that im pregnant at this moment. dont want to make myself disappointed later on. actually all along me not pinning much hope on 1st try. i have even started to read on FET during my this 2WW.
initally was thinking to take the test to see whether the hcg shot is out from my system (since i read that it should be out by 10 to 14 days) so that when it turn positive i know it is true positive. but now stuck.

blesswBB,
i agree with you totally. the nurse told me that my hcg level on that day is 200mg, which is good. for me, the only thing i want to hear is i'm pregnant. all the other readings, i'm not keen to know because like last year, i got stressed unnecessarily comparing all the levels and whatnots.it really killed me!
yck,
i think u should just remain positive and just wait for the day that you are supposed to have the test. only then you will be clear that you are really pregnant or not. all these stress and assumptions is not good for you. relax!
to all,
i'm going with my husband tomorrow to have my scan and see how many i am pregnant with. i hope to have twins so i can close shop! today is my birthday and the best birthday gift would be the scan itself tomorrow so wish me luck ladies!
baby dust to all of you and i'm supporting all of you in this journey!

hi blesswbb,
haha.. Yeah tdy my jabs not so bad. I really followed some of the ladies' advices in order to jab with least amt of pain. Hehe.. But not too worry, I'll just endure for 5 more days.
Hi yck,
relax, don't think too much now. Jus wait for ur test day and hope for the best. All these thinking is actually unnecessary stress. Not good at all!
Hi miss hae,
happy birthday!! The best present ever is simply knowing u're pregnant. Double joy, as u're with twins.

hi bebecraze08,
its painful on the 1st day, last Sat. i dunno why coz the way i inject is the same. i think maybe its the hormone being introduced into the body. so i guess, a bit shock. hehe.. now day 2 and day 3 so far so good. no pain. in fact the puregon injection is so much smoother than lucrin. the pen is definitely mightier! no pun intended! hehe..
anyway i dunno honestly when to do ER. coz it all really depends on the scan this sat morning. if the follicles are sizeable enough i guess, it'd be monday. which is a school holiday because of youth day.. hehe, no need mc. but if i still need to continue further with puregon it'll be awhile more..
one question! after ER day, do you go on mc before ET? or do you begin you HL from the ER day? or do you begin HL from ET day? hehe.. confuse? hope someone can enlightened me so i can inform my HOD early on..

Hi Miss Hae
Happy Birthday to you! You've truly been blessed. How are you feeling now? Let us know about your scan, okay? All the best, best to you.
Hi Lfb
Have you seen Dr Cheng yet? What was his advice? Take care. You're in my thoughts.
Hi yck
Keep your fingers crossed and don't be unduly stressed! Have confidence. I'm sure its definitely a positive.
Hi Merlenna
My husband's cousin who has done ivf and who is a teacher took leave on the day of ER and the day after. She then took leave again on ET day and for 1 week after that. She went back to school on the second week as her principal wanted her back. It'll be good if you can take the whole 2 weeks off. All the best.
Hi Nicole
Congratulations! Take care of yourself and rest well.

Anyone has any problem while taking the lowest dosage of puregon/Gonalf and still hv high hormone level?
Am disappointed that despite the lowest dosage but was told that I can't do ET due to hormone level that's too high, body is very sensitive to GonalF...
. Now got to wait 3 mths later to fo FET. Anyone has same/similiar situation as mine?
Do we neeed to jab any thing else b4 FET? Would be great if someone could share with me. Txs.

cuteangel,
I will prob do my FET in Oct, since I needed the time to rest and relax. Will start my acu next week. My menses is longer than usual, started last monday and I am still having it now, just spotting.
Mala,
Dr Cheng on holiday this week. I will see him next week. Hubby cannot take leave, so we have to settle with Sat.
Ladies, thanks for keeping me in your thoughts. Will fight on.

thank you all!
yes, i agree, getting to know i'm pregnant is the best birthday gift that i could have ever asked for.
went for the scan just now. pc wong is still on leave so i went to see dr mary rauff instead.
guess what, i am expecting TRIPLETS!!!
all 3 of them are growing just fine. 1 of them also has a heartbeat. i shed a tear and held my husband's hand when i saw the flickering light (heartbeat). that was the only thing i was waiting for! the other two are catching up and most probably by next week, i can see the other 2 heartbeats.
i was so stunned. my husband was stunned too but i am very, very, very, thankful.my gynae is going to be shocked when i see him next week.
so far, i am doing quite ok. no vomitting or bad MS. just can't stand some smells and often cannot finish my food.
for my birthday yesterday, i had durian over a cake and managed to have some good seafood but still cannot finish.

merlenna,
from what i know, they will give u HL on the day you do your ER. i was given 19 days.
bebecraze08,
i didn't go for any acupunture. i did think of doing it b4 i started on the IVF journey but because i was working, i couldn't find the right time and place to do it so i went ahead without it.

yes, this is my first scan and i am about 5-6wks pregnant.will be meeting my gynae again next week cos he don't know yet! haha!
i am trying to be positive about this pregnancy though i know there are so many other factors to consider since it's triplets. the risks, health, financial and all but i think i should be able to trudge on and persevere for the sake of them. i don't want to worry on the unnessary and shall take each day as it comes. at this moment, i am just thankful and thrilled!
now i can spread as much babydust to all!

Hi Hi,
Can I check how many of you exercise regularly before IVF? Miss Hae did u exercise?
The nurse ask me to keep a healthy lifestyle and to exercise. But I am very lazy to exercise. Wonder if it would affect my chance of success.

Wow!! Triplets!! That's really the best birthday present you ever had.
Hi Emma and Chua Family,
Thanks..I'm doing fine..I was very nervous while waiting for my turn to the operating room. The process went on smoothly and when i woke up, I'm already in the recovery room. I can still feel some pains and bloatedness and hopefully tmr I will feel much better. Altogether there are 11 embryos being extracted and my ET will be this Wed.
