Hi ladies
Just a little update. I called the embryologist and she said that all 5 eggs have fertilised. Whew! What a relief! Tentatively my ET is on Friday 29 August but the embryologist wants to see whether the embryos can go up to blastocyst. If they do, the transfer will be on Sunday which is a Day 5 transfer. I will know tomorrow anyway. I doubt I will have a Day 5 transfer as by previous ivfs were all Day 3 transfers. The requirement for a Day 5 blastocyst transfer is that my tommorow all my embryos must have reached a 4 cell stage and they must be Grade 1 and 2 (In Thomson, Grade 1 and 2 are the highest and best grades).
Hi Bakaholic
Thanks for your reassurances. After my ER yesterday, the pain was very bad. I literally had to bend when I walk. Today its slightly better although I feel some tugging pains on both sides of the abdomen.
You take care too, ok? Try and eat egg whites and drink lots of water.
Hi Mel
Thank you, I feel much better today and more so when I heard that the few eggs that I had have all fertilised.
Hi Maykel
You know something? I quit my job to go through all these fertility treatments because I knew that a lot of time and commitment are needed. If by God's grace I do get pregnant, I will not go back to work because I really want to take care of myself.
This is a decision that only you can make. As RuRu has suggested, it really depends on the doctor's advice. My sister's sis-in-law quit working on her doctor's advice. Maybe you can work part-time? Whatever decision you make, I'm sure its for the best.
Hi Dimple
I'm glad that you are feeling better now. Rest well, ok!
Hi Austere
All the best for your ER tomorrow. May you be blessed with lots of good quality eggs!
Hi Fairyrose
Congratulations! I'm sure it wasn't easy to stay away from cigarettes but perseverance will help.

Hi fairyrose,
I am afraid, this is not a choice you can make, but have to make. I too am a smoker for > 10years. Did not have enough determination to quit smoking before embark on IVF program, and was actually puffing away while I was on IVF cycle. In the end, though I have 20 eggs during the retrieval, only 3 fertilised. So after tranfering all 3 empbryos, I am left with 0 embryo for FET and diagnosed to have very bad egg quality. I am sure, you wouldnt want to end up like me!
Glad you have make it a point to quit now. Stay determined for your future baby. If possible, consult TCM.
Hope above helps.

Dear Angelz07,
I did my HSG this June. An oil-based dye will be pumped into the womb and the X-rays will be taken. I experienced cramps (like severe menstral cramps) during the procedure. I had to ask for a MC after the procedure. Usually, MC will not be given, only excuse chit given. So, request for MC if you don't feel well. I went home and slept for a few hours...
Maykel,
Just bo-chap at work lah! The 4 mth maternity leave is too good to miss out. Its more that $10000 paid leave for some leh.

Hi Angelz,
Yes, I'd taken a HSG 1.5 yrs back at KKH.
It is not very painful.
During the procedure, I could feel the liquid flowing through ...
I'd a crampy feeling in my lower stomach , after the procedure.
It 's also believed that for some people, , soon after the test thy do conceive, because, the test itself, helps to clear some minor debris in the tubes.
so, all the best for you, Lady luck would smile at you soon

Hi Angelz07,
hmm..as for pain during HSG, it does depend on whether you have any blockages or any injuries in the tubes..
personally, i have gone thru HSG after my 1st ectopic, which i believe is in my right tube, and so, during the HSG, when the fluid flowed in the left tube, there was hardly any feeling.. but the right tube was a different story... indescribable pain..
But different ppl, different story... have you had any suspected problem, i.e. blockages / ectopic / twisted tubes? if not, you should breeze through the check...

hi Angelz07,
i did HSG in 2005. i felt crampy during the procedure when the dye was injected into my body. after HSG, i had to get an mc as i was having very bad cramps.
it actually differs from individual to individual, as some of my frens say they dun feel anything during and after HSG

Hi Angelz07,
Basically, your HSG will be painless if both your tubes are clear and not blocked. Painless as the dye will flow freely out from the other end of tube.
If either one or both of the tubes is blocked, the pain is something you will not want to experience again. Becos of the blockage, dye cannot flow out of the tube and hence pressure building inside which causes pain.

Hi Dimple,
glad that you are feeling better now. Are you still bleeding? Maybe should eat food with high iron to replace the huge loss of blood yesterday.
Hi Mel,
so what is your date for ER? I have not gone for my US after starting of puregon injections. Will be this Sat.
Hi Cale,
Thanks for telling me about your puregon dosage. Hope that there will be enough well grown eggs during my US this Sat.
HiAngelz07,
I have gone throught HSG last year. I did it at Glenegales. The whole procedure was abit uncomfortable for me, especially when the doc inserted the tiny tube into the vagina to put in the dye before taking the Xray.
Anyway, I did a laparoscopy this year, as my KK doc suggested to make sure I have no endomentriosis before I start my iui. HSG is not able to check clearly on that, whereas laparoscopy can check and treat any problems of fallopian tubes, uterus, ovaries at the same time.

Angelz07 - will you be trying again after HSG? as Sri has said, there is a study that shows 30%-50% improvement in fertility after HSG. the success rate drops after 6 months... but nontheless still higher then normal success rate.. fingers crossed, all the best!!
bliss - no idea abt my ER date.. like you, i have yet to go for my U/S after starting stimulation.. it is also scheduled this sat!!
hope we both grow good number of eggs..

Hi fairyrose,
must persist further and soon you will be feeling better about not smoking! Jia you! It is not only better for trying to conceive, it is for the best of your health. Don't give up, you are having a good start now.
hi Maykel,
I quit my job partly becoz of the ivf treatment, wanted to go through the whole process without any stress from work. But for you, since you can tahan through the ivf journey while working, and you are almost to the end now, maybe can still hold on to it first. However, like what rurucat said, different women have different experience of 1st trimester, so will have to see how you will be feeling during the period. Meanwhile, just hang on and work at your own pace, don't get stressed by work. If really can cope with it, just talk to your boss first to seek understanding. Don't think too much now, as the chinese sayings, "chuan2 dao4 qiao2 tou2 zi4 ran2 zhi2".
All the best to ladies who are going for ER and ET soon! Have confidence in yourselves and your doc. Everything will go smoothly.

Hi Mala,
so happy that all your eggs are fertilised! Don't have to worry too much. So did you actually opt for day 5 transfer? Or they will decide for you after checking the quality of the embroyos? It will be good to have day 5 transfer if possible, but kind of risky hor.

Hi Maykel,
I agreed to what ruru's said. Depending on your condition, if permitted, try to dong until bonus, if can, dong until maternity leave even better. Can enjoy the maternity benefit. I think you can seek doctor's opinion as and when things goes. Doctor will know best. If needed, i think he may give you long MC to rest one.
Hi Fairyrose,
I am sure you can do it. Think of your baby, and you will have the determination to continue. Dun give up! You have been doing great so far.
Hi Angelz07,
I have done HSG before before trying for the IUI. It's pretty uncomfortable as you are not under any sedation. The cramps is quite bad during the procedure especially when the the tube was inserted.
Hi Mala,
Congrats on your good number of embryos, feel happy for you. Did you ask for a 5 days transfer? The standard practise here looks like transfer either day 2 or day 3. Which hospital you did your IVF?
Hi Bliss,
No problem on that. You are still young right. Should have good response. Keep the finger cross

Hi Maykel,
On your job, depends on how stressful it is dear.
As for me, job is not very stressful, still the journey to office & have to sit for long hours
And also , I need to cook for both of us.
I basically, want to eat well & take gud rest during the precious time of the treatment.
And complete no stress
So, I've taken a loss of pay from here starting from stage2.
Anything for the sake of the little ones
May be , I suggest you to go to office , but don't worry on the leave that you might take ,
when you are tired or so...
Also, to all ladies,
Do we have to take a complete bed rest during the 2ww?
I'm little worried on that since , we are just 2 of us at home here....
Hi Mala,
All the best for your ET & 2 ww
Please keep saying that your are preggy to yourself...
Definetly , you'll succeed...

Dear Maykel,
Now, I work as if I don't need the job. That'll take loads of stress off. Since you are thinking of quitting, you can also have the no-work-also-can kind of attitude.
Of course do what you need to at work, but take care of yourself. Family is still more important. Your boss won't be there for you when you need him.

Hi Bliss,
Thank you so much for your advise, ok, shall see how it goes bah
But how do you cope at home, not bored meh? Cos can't even do housework etc right....?
Hello Cale,
heehee...i oso hope that doc would give me long mc if needed to tahan this few mths. But i think most of all, hope that i will have good health thoughout then all will be well. Anyway, now still gotta wait for beta to confirm, sekali talk so much but its not a positive *touchwood*
Hi Sri,
Thanks for your reply, yup, i agree that any sacrifice for a healthy little baby is always worth it
I didn't go out alot during the 2ww, oni went bk kkh or temple. Rest of the time rest at home. But i think if you feel ok, dun really have to complete rest in bed. I'm very restless, so i will walk around in the house hehe....
There are oso oni 2 of us at home, but the first few days i did not go out at all, cos want to minimise walking and had to depend on my hubby to get all my meals for me. Lucky he is able to take leave for that period of time.

Hi Maykel,
I am doing some part time job at home actually. Can't sit at home and do nothing, still need to earn some pocket money. But I am very free most of the time and so definitely is bored. But I quite enjoy my own company, so still ok for me. In fact, I had taken 1 year no pay leave last year, so quite used to this kind of lifestyle already. Hehe!

Hi Maykel,
haha! ya, I understand, also enjoy earning own income, don't like to depend solely on husband. But now, after quiting my job, I don't really go shopping anymore, must try to save up.
I am planning to be a full time mother all along, at least for the first few years of my kids. Don't know why, I have been forward to looking after my own kids even though I have seen my sisters going nearly crazy with taking care of their children. They are working mothers and have maids and mother in laws to help still.

Hi Maykel,
That is the point I am making, most gynae won't advise anything unless they feel your pregnancy is considered high risk (touch wood 100 times!). So if really gynae advise must take care and rest more, then don't need to think already, straight away throw letter and sit at home and grow mushroom on head.
I met this lady on the motherhood forum, she is on bed rest for the 1st trimester as the baby very unstable and she bleed a few times (signs of miscarriage). But now her daughter is 26mths old already! I think we women are so brave and sacrifical leh, anything we endure to have kids. PM Lee should talk to us man !
Hi Mala,
Great to heard u now have 5 honey bunnies waiting for u! I am sure ur darlings will split up very well and all grow to blastocyst stage, then u have to decide which darlings to follow u and which darlings to sleep in freezer 1st. I wonder Thomsom chief embrylogist can give hint anot. Or u hint u prefer a Jane and a John in ur womb? Ha..ha..

Hi Maykel,
I agree with you. I also don't want to be huang lian po. I keep telling myself cannot become an 'auntie' while being a full time mother. Will definitely go and work after kids have grown older. I want to play the role of mother well, and I am afraid I can't manage well if to work at the same time, so I choose to be with my kids for some years first.

Hi Bliss,
Tats why pple say mothers are the most 'wei da' cos got a lot of sacrifices to make. Cos now we have to choose career and babies. If we chose babies, then by the time we go out to work again, we are not in our prime already and may get unpreferential treatment....but i oso want the best for my kids next time.

Hi Maykel,
actually I thought it is not sacrifice. In fact, I want to have my own kids so much becoz I want to learn alot more from my own kids and from experiencing motherhood.
I really look forward to becoming a more complete person and to be able to love someone so much. Always feel the love of a parent for very own child is the greatest love in the world, and I really wish will be able to give this kind of love to my children.
So Maykel, don't think it as sacrifice, in fact I am sure we will gain more than we expect from being a full time mother. It surely will be the most enriching and meaningful experience in life.
Haha, this is what I feel lah, perhaps I am never a career minded woman, I like to be a good wife and mother since young. Hahaha!

Maykel,
Aiyoh.... No one will remember what we did for our company years later. But what we do for our family and children is eternal. That's why I 'kan kai' see open liao! So I just do my part at work. I'll not fight for any position and recognition like I used to.

Hi all
missed you all for sometime. Just today my 1st day af and had to go down to the clinic for blood test+scan. Starting puregon tomorrow
Bliss,
don't worry i have lower than yours 100iu.
We where discussing that lower is better because we can extend the days for er but higher then there is higher potential for OHSS for PCOS ladies.(This is something that i read in a lot of articles and doc also say the same).
Anyway so stepping into next stage.
