Bliss,
natural FET, good. May I know what is the reason for natural FET or FET with injections?
Yes yes, really really hope to see you in the MTB thread this time round and share your joy!
Have been wondering how you have been doing earlier on, as well as many others in the thread that time, such as Ping, Austere, Kalki, Bakaholic, Mala.
Wish all of you sharing good news with all of us here very very soon!!
Patricia, you must jia you, take good care of yourself this period, eat well, rest well. Extend your HL if you can. Must stay positive and happy mood.

Hi Bliss,
During these 2 months, I see Dr Zou to 'tiao' my body. I did this natural FET after 3 AF, then Dr zou said can go ahead and try. Natural FET - no injections, no medications, KK will scan until the urterine lining is at least 8, own egg must be at least 18mm,ovluation test to make sure LH is detected, then they will transfer after 3 days. Dr Zou said nautral is good coz is our own body 'behaviour'. No chemical. Medication FET for those ladies cannot ovulate. Bliss, i really miss u and hope to join u. Now wondering should i extend my HL.

Patricia,
I feel so touched to hear your words...
Ask you, so without any injections, does it mean that you will also ovulate on your own this cycle beside putting 3 embryos? Will it end up to have a possibility to have too many fertilised eggs in the end?
Yes, it is good to have no other medication this FET. So are you given progesterone jabs or inserts these 2 weeks?
You see how you are feeling these days ba, if feel like resting more, then should extend HL, dont worry about work.

For those who have enough “frozen” embryos to spare, I would like to suggest that you consider this procedure called blastocyst. The procedure is similar to FET except that instead of doing the transfer at day2/3 , you let the embryos develop further (at the lab) to day 5 until it is ready for implantation.
The only problem is some/all the embryos may not survive the full 5 days and you might be left with nothing. But for those embryos who managed to survive….the chances for getting pregnant are so much higher cos the cells are more developed.
I did a google on this and some websites are saying that the success rate is almost 50%.
The cost is only slightly more expensive, if you are doing it in KK, it just cost $200 more. $1500 compared to $1300 (for FET). Pls note that even you are only allowed to implant 2 embryos, apparently some gahmen regulation.

Dear Swan,
For NUH, they froze mine at Day 6. I thought, ha? Day 5 shld be maximum. The nurses say higher chance of success. KK tend to do freezing on Day 3. So different hospital, different protocol. Dunno abt other hospitals.
Dear Patricia,
Do rest well during these 2ww. I'm also seeing Dr Zou, after reading the posts by other ladies here. She also told me to do accu for 3 mths. But I don't like being 'electrocuted' by the needles. The medicine also taste yucky! How did you endure the accu and medicine?

hi all
An update on spotting while on pill
Did a scan upon doctor's advice. All is ok, so can continue with Lucrin jabs. The scan is to rule out pregnancy (although highly unlikely) and cysts/pylops. Probably just a hormonal reaction to the contraceptive.
I'm starting my Lucrin jab on Friday. Anyone has similar timing to me? Can motivate each other!

All the best! Btw, is ER done under GA?

Hi Lina,
I see Dr Zou 2 times a week and before ET, I went everyday for 4 days. I tiao about 2 and half months, 3 cycle AF.
Hi Bliss,
I will rest and these few days but will go back work this sat. Will try not to walk too fast and not to stress myself this time. No injection or medications. I ovulated on day 12 so I can do natural FET. After ET, inserts progesterone to rectum 2 times a day. 400mg each time, higher dosage.
Hi GraceBB,
To me, Dr Zou medications is not that horrible. I can take it. AS for the electrones current, I love it. I always go after my work at 3 plus noon, always fall alseep coz my job too tired. If u r uncomfortable, u just ask her to tune lower.

Patricia,
need to observe safe sex during the cycle? If no need, still possible to have fertilisation taken place naturally beside the 3 embryos put in? Then possible to get triplets if all 3 embryos fertilised plus any natural fertilisation? Wow...
Thanks! I wonder if my frozen embryos will still in good condition after a couple of years when I like to have a second baby.
Ok, you rest well. Stress at work and mood will affect implantation during this period too. You must keep yourself free of stress as far as possible, ok?

Patricia,
ya, I understand the feeling, very complicated mixed feelings, this is stressful, must keep positive but at the same time cannot keep too high hopes to prevent any great disappointment.
You have done what you can already, now it is not up to you. Just pray hard.
I remember that time I kept telling my embryos that I want to be their good mother, to take good care of them and raise them up. Tell your embryos that too. I will pray hard for you. Let your sincere wish to be a mother touches heaven!

hi buddhist ladies - i went to pray to Fertility Goddess 助生娘娘 at Joo Chiat Guan Yin temple. You can try too. i went after someone earlier in this thread recommended to me
Hi Patricia,
oh yes, i like Dr Zou electrical current too. Do rest well now, BFP!
Hi Bliss,
I read from overseas website that many people tried FET after several years and it worked. Apparently the frozen eggs has got nothing to do with how long it is stored, the quality is still good.
Hi pleasance,
i went to try Dr Tan from Clementi. Already told him that i am trying next round of ivf, then he just went on to say the goal is to try natural, must do the charts, check ovulation, do accu etc. He explains well the details but the problem is he is really not supportive of ivf, kept insisting his way. Guess i will have to stop going to him. I will continue with Dr Zou.
Hi ponytail,
i also go to the Joo Chiat temple. It is less crowded compare to Bugis and nearer for me.

Hi Patricia,
He ask me who recommend me, i mention my friend's name and he says he can't remember as he has too many patients. Your previous consultation visit would be already on his record card, still ask you again. Sigh! But i will ask my hubby to see Dr Tan as he seems quite confident of male problem.

ponytail,
ya, you still go to the Joo chia temple regularly after I mentioned that time? I still do go there, but has not been very regularly due to on and off MS. I used to go there weekly, but now maybe once or twice a month.
Lina,
thanks for the info!
But I remember you said before that the quality of the frozen embryos will be affected during ET , right? Or what was it exactly? Thanks.

Hi Pretyy Lady,
My 6-wks scan is next Tues (9/12). Just went for a scan yesterday (5-wks), can see the baby's heartbeat
Dr Loh recommend me to go for a thorough ultrasound scan as he said the baby's position is too high for his comfort, he wants to exclude interstitial pregnancy (i dunno wat that means). So we went for the thorough scan after doc visit immediately, thanksfully it turns out to be a normal pregnancy (deduced by a gynae radiologist on the spot). But as for the details, I will need to wait for Dr. Loh to confirm next week as he has all my medical reports. I am not taking anymore BHCG BT, now only do scanning. But am taking dydrogesterone pills to support the uterine lining.
