happy,
I didnt drop any tears, first time see the twinkling of the heartbeat, I was actually quite blur and 慢半拍. Hahaha! :D

Faith,
I didnt get to hear the heartbeat, only saw the beating of the heart from the screen.

Ladies,
anyone has any idea about the freezing part of the rest of our embryos I asked earlier? Need to call the hospital if want to continue to store for the next year?
 
Faith,
I did get some medication from doc for the nausea problem. But doc said as I am not vomitting, I dont need to take. However, the 24 hours nausea without vomitting alone is already a 'suffering'. So I didnt take the medication yet, coz doc said only take if I really vomit.
 
Hi Bliss,
singleton is easier for delivery and taking care...so happy for you. Private suite will be a better choice, shorter waiting time and no need to take queue number. They have free drinks machine, somewhere near the information counter. I like to drink milo from the machine.
 
bliss,
The hosp will froze the reminding embryos for a yr. The max yrs they will keep at least 5yrs. Every yr they will send you a bill to pay for the storage fees. Hope this will help.

Hi Ladies,

Anyone knows how long does an acupuncture session usually last. Seems some TCM does it for 15 mins some for 45 mins some even 1 hr. Which is better ?
 
Faith,
When do u start feeling giddy?? Only after the 2ww or before u even realise you r preggie?? I been feeling giddy since yesterday. Hoping this is not due to the medication.
 
Angel,
Mine last for 1hr. Half hr on the tummy the next half hr on the back. Do u wan me to intro an acupuncturist to u? She very nice and patience. If u don mind.
 
Ladies,
Does anyone experience spottings on her 2WW? I got a slight spotting yesterday, but it was only once.
 
Hi,

what's long/short protoccol in this aspect? My gynae is referring me to Dr LC Cheng at TMC as I've requested for IVF. I'm told that I may not be ovulating every month (from past experience on IUI attempt).

Any comments?
 
Lina,
thanks! I am also very happy.

My mum told me that she was actually worried if I am having twins. She is worried it will be very tough for me to carry the pregnancy as well as the taking care part after delivery(as I plan to take care of baby on my own for at least few years since I have quit my job and I dont plan to have maid) and it is considered high risk pregnancy. Of course she will still be very happy even if I am having twins.
All mothers are forever so caring for own children and cant help to be worried for many things in the children's life.
happy.gif

so now, she doesnt have to worry about how I take care of two babies if having twins.
 
BlesswBB,
thanks for the info. So I will not need to worry if need to call the hospital when next year frozen date is due.

Hi bliss,
so you will be a sahm (stay at home mom) in future. Yes, agree with you that all mothers are caring for their own children. I was a sahm once, very routine life but the joy of watching your little one grow up, first crawl, first step, etc is worthwhile.

Hi Ladies,
I understand that FET only given a few days mc/hospital leave. Did anyone ask for extension of leave and is it necessary to rest more days?
 
Bliss,
Is this normal? I got very paranoid that afterwards I kept on checking myself every hour, see if there were any more spottings...
 
Hi Lina
I was given 14 days HL, but since my pregnancy BT was after my HL, I asked for extension until after my BT. KK is ok with it.

Hi BlesswBB
Thanks for the assurance!
 
Dwi,
I am not sure, coz I personally didnt experience any spotting during 2WW, but heard many cases from those mummies that they did experience spotting, some even had slight bleeding during their 2WW. So i guess it is ok if the spotting just lasted for very short while. You dont worry too much as long as it is not accompanied with painful cramps.
But if you have any painful cramps, it will be better to consult your doc then.
Stay positive, ok? It is fine.

Hi Dwi,
I am also with KK, i thought fresh cycle given 14 days HL but FET only give 3 days mc. So i am wondering if FET also need to rest more than the 3 days given.
 
Hi Lina
Sorry for the wrong info. I forgot that yours is not a fresh cycle. Perhaps, you can call up KK and ask. That'll be best...
happy.gif
 
Akachan or Blesswbb - can give me the contact about the TCM doctor?

There is also an acupunture clinic @ NUH, has oneone tried it for IVF?

TIA
 
Hi happyever,

Are you intend to change gynae? From what I understand, different hospitals have different practices. Different patients have different proctocals.

Here are the procedures:

May 08 to July 08
- On BCP. Total 42 days.
- Gonal-F injection. Total 10 days.
- Lucrin injection. 2 days before egg collection.
- No ET. I was arranged for FET due to OHSS.
- All embryos frozen.

August 08 to September 08 (FET)
- On BCP again. Less than 28 days.
- Lucrin injection & progynova (tablets)
- ET. After 2 weeks Lucrin injection & progynova.
- In 2ww, i was asked to take progynova, folic acid and duphaston. Proluton jab, once a week.
- Pregnancy test. 17 days after ET.

I personally like the team a lot. They are caring and patience. May be same frequency

Lina Ang,
I'm with KK. I went thru FET and now in my 2WW. U can ask for 2weeks of HL depending on your comfort. I just took 7days HL cos i don wan to be very stress over the result so i rather work the next 7days to put my mind off.
happy.gif
 
Hi BlesswBB,

In my case, I start to feel giddy before I was tested positive. According to my record is on day 5. Untill today, I cannot sit or stand too long due to dizziness
sad.gif


Try not to think so much, take it easy

Hi bliss,

Aiya silly me
happy.gif
I thot can hear baby's heartbeat...pie sei...pie sei...

Thank you for sharing with me about the medication for MS. Today I have learnt something from you again
happy.gif
 
Hi BlesswBB,
Thanks for the info. Then i shall take 7 days too. Don't want to have a whole stack of work when i return from HL and also constant worry. All the best for your BT.
 
Dear ladies,

I am back from mt ET. I only got 5 out of 8 fetilised and 4 usable emybro. I transfered 2 today and left 2 to be frozen. Hopefully they will implant well. I m using the pregnyl (self inject abt 4 days interval till BT). Can i ask after ET do u feel tight at the abdominal area?

And also i cant do urine test earlier since i m on pregnyl so it will mean false positive.

Mystyy, how is ur status?

Thanks ladies for all of your well wishes! I hope i can share good news with u all very soon.

Sue,

Thanks for updating the list and for ur encouragement. I just hope the little 2 are doing good inside and will implant successfully.

Hope you will be smooth in ur cycle too. Jia you Sue!
happy.gif
 
Lina,
Still u better not over work even after 7days ya
happy.gif

We still need to relax at least till we hear our little babies heartbeat. Good luck!!
 
Hi Hopfully,
rest well for the 2WW.

Hi BlesswBB,
thanks for the reminder, definitely will take time to do work after the 7 days. I think my 1st fresh cycle failure was due to no proper rest, will not want to repeat the same mistake.
 
hi sue
i also bought many classes of bikram yoga. i got a written memo from the doctor to excuse me from the hot yoga from the start of my ivf until pregnancy test. This way, the classes wont get wasted and you dont have to go for the yoga when you are in doubt. You can freeze it further with another memo stating you are pregnant after your bfp!
 
Hopefully,
Thank you so much!! I hope for smooth cycle too
happy.gif



tintedsky,
Thank you!oh... you stopped when starting IVF...ummmmm I guess I should tell them then...


Akachan,
the TMC dr you intro to me, can you tell me how to get there? can you walk from the station????
 
Hi,

Thanks everybody for the concern. Feeling so much better.

Went for abdominal scanning this morning and only 9mm. Is it quite thin? The nurse said minimum is 8mm. Meaning mine is only 1mm more. Have anyone tried TCM to thicken lining during 2ww?

Hopefully,
Do drink more water so as to flush out the hormones left in your body.

Hi Faith,
Your previous OHSS last you for how many days? Mine lasted me for about 5 days. Feeling so much better now. But also worrying as heard that having OHSS stands a high chance of pregnancy. Is it true?
 
Sue and for benefit of Angel & Zaza too, can walk from AMK MRT to the TCM dr. Hope i can guide clearly. See below pic blue lines hor?
1773986.jpg

From MRT, exit to main road facing AMK hub then walk towards right under covered walkway till you see a underpass on your right. Walk into the underpass and turn left at the end. Walk up a flight of stairs and come to another covered walkway. Follow the walkway straight. You will pass by Cheng San CC on you right. Walk on straight till you see blk 504. Walk along deck of blk 504 till reach end of blk, cross a mini road and you are at blk 505 liao. The med hall is just 2 shops away. Walk is about 8-10mins.

If dont want to walk can take bus from AMK interchange but i am not sure what number. FYI, i think i said ave 5 in my email cos when we drive will come down ave 5 but the street dir register as ave 8 instead so note hor. Its also along St 53 so bear in mind esp if you wanna take cab. But i think most cabbies know where. Nearby got 2 schools Anderson Sec and Nanyang Poly. HTH.

Tintedsky, i ET last Thurs so today is 6dpET i think. U think i can do HPT yet? Shd be too early hor? I read your blog and seen your dd video. So cute
happy.gif


Comfort, glad you are much better now. Are you given Utrogestan to insert? Ok ma? I am kinda stressed by it dont know whether i m doing correctly or not. 9mm is ok, according to my TCM dr, its ok. Too thick also no good. I am on TCM for this 2ww to hope can aid implantation.

akachan
thanks for viewing my blog at http://ivfsingapore.blogspot.com ! i put it up to remind myself of the reason that i am putting myself through this agonising 2 weeks wait... its like dangling a carrot in front to push through the last mile

you did a day 2 or 3 transfer? USually it should be accurate 14 days after embryo retreival, provided you dont need pregnyl booster shots. I had false positives due to the pregnyl booster shots during my last BFN cycle when i test at day 12
 
Hi Sue, Angel and zara,

Further to akachan direction, in case you want to know wat bus to take...Bus no. 265. Take infront of the bus stop at Jubliee. Think is about 2/3 bus stop away. Cant remember but Once u see Nanyang Poly press the bell the bus will turn right and that's the stop. Cross the road and that's the block.
 
Hi BlesswBB,

Can I know how you ask for 2 weeks HL. During my previous FET I ask for HL but the nurse say cannot issue HL, only max 5 days outpatient MC.
 


dear all,

for ladies who are pregnant, can I ask? Do you experience menses-cramp-like pain during early 2ww 7? I had my FET on the 2 Oct. Thanks.
