baby,
thanks..
yes puregon, but dosage is super low, only 50iu..my left ovary not responding at all.. so evetually only 1 follicle.. the doctor say i cant even dosage becos stimulation is already completed, and furthermore the others are too small, even if they grow, they cant compete with the biggest one..so the rest will not ovulate..
thanks..

libby, it took a lot of courages to resign and concentrate on baby making..
Since exercise will help to reduce FSH, I will start a more healthy lifestyle after my AF, to prepare for my future IVF.
Hope my FSH will reduce so that I will not be given 500iu of puregon again! @_@

Serene,
Don't be sad. Talk to Dr Loh about it and see what he suggests. I found a website about natural ways to help decrease FSH.
http://www.thelaboroflove.com/articles/natural-ways-to-help-your-fsh-levels-decrease/
They mention about consuming blue-green algae which is also Spirulina. I'm taking Spirulina as a daily supplements and I think it really helps alot in balancing hormones. Try not to take coffee, refined sugars and don't smoke. They indicates these will cause FSH to increase.
Think to be safe, try to take some supplements that can help with balancing of female hormones.
I know Primrose Evening pills and Royal jelly are also useful.

Baby, you are so strong and not cry a single drop of tear. Hang in there! I'm sure your frozen embryos will bring you luck and you'll strike with FET. Yes, I definitely recommend that you let your body rest and strengthen thru' seeing TCM before re-starting on FET. Think FET should be less exhaustive thou'.
Hugs & kisses,

Hi Dreamy r One
THink we are roughly at the same stage. 3 Apr is my 12th day of Gonal-F injection @ 225. Tomorrow, saturday, going for my 3rd scan, so will know my ER date then. Am trying not to think too much about ER. Tomolo going to have a nice meal to celebrate ER for next week, becos once in 2ww, have to be housebound quite a bit.
Cheers

Hi Serene,
Dun worry go see Dr Loh 1st and see wat he says. I ever borrowed a book from bedok library that mentioned true cases whereby a woman in US has very high FSH level close to 16 and is over 40yrs old and she still managed to conceive thro tcm + acupuncture while going for her 2nd try in ivf. I've read somewhere tat diet, exercise,and maintaining a healthy weight, tcm and acupuncture can also help to decrease our FSH levels. Do stay positive.

Sunflower,
You're currently doing IUI, not ivf? If you don't mind, can share what's your hubby's count? Dind't know there's like a "minimum" standard to meet for IUI (or IVF)??
Think i mentioned before ... my hubby also seeing Dr Tan. 1.5yrs ago, his count was 8-9mill (SA done at Raffles). But he never do TCM regularly. Then ... last mth Dr Tan forced him to do anthr SA (but at CARE) his count was 4mill only!!!! And morphology was 50%
Since last mth, he goes for TCM once a week now lah ...
Orangey,
If like that, then best both of you go visit Dr Zou regularly for treatment. Bo bian bah ... really need to make sure body is ready for ivf if you're really gonna do it ya. I always tell my hubby, if we ever conceive through ivf, this will be one heck of an expensive baby!!! Haha!

Hi tnt,
I went was admitted straight away cos they found internal bleeding when they did a vagina scan for me, and during the subsequent scans they couldm't find any sac at all, doc on duty suspects ectopic... They then did a HCG blood test for me over 2 days and confirmed to proceed ops on me after they found my HCG level dropping.
Oh my part, i only have dark prune like discharge....scary ordeal..

i am still ok, only little nausea in the morning.
hi bee,
i don't get bloated feeling. I use maternity belly belt for office pants, so no need to buy maternity wear yet. This can help you fit into the existing pants that you have.
hi baby,
Hugs, don't give up, glad that you are very strong. Try again FET. Dr Loh will allow you to start after 2 menses cycle. Meanwhile continue to eat well.
hi tnt,
sorry to hear another bad news. Tio your body before trying again. I also been through this, very happy with good news then crash to the ground with the loss. I took 3 days to cry and get over it. Do move on and jia you!
hi orangey,
i paid about $800 per month at Dr Zou for both hb and mine treatment. No choice, just hope that this will help.
hi chris,
rest well before the BT. By taking the BT, you can see the HCG level. Not sure if you can request to do a scan as well to check where is the egg. You have no more discharge right? so don't need the herbs.

Hi lina,
me still got dark brown-like discharge accompany by menstrual cramp on-off. Have not been eating well the whole week cos of my gastric and no appetite to eat, keep puking. it gets worse during the nite. currently taking my regular gastric medicine given by my family doc from gleaneagles.
Have to tahan till monday for my HCG blood test, if result is negative then no need scan, if positive i'll request them to give me a earlier slot for the scan. If they are not able to, then i'll go back to my existing gynae at gleneagles liao...

baby, 3 cheers to you! that's the spirit, keep that spirit and dun lose hope! u never know until ur BT tomorrow.. so i still want to wish u best of luck!
sunflower, dun feel demoralise, it is impt to stay positive thruout the ivf journey.. think of the good side of it, ya
those in 2ww.. these 2 two weeks is thousand times worse than waiting for exam results.. negative thoughts will appear at times, can't help it one. most impt of all is dun let the negative thoughts stay for too long in ur head, so do something, anything to distract ur mind. BFP to all!

libby, my team of colleagues + my boss are aware of my IVF / bb plan, so i dun have to explain too much. they all understand
i think some other colleagues may have suspected but i guess they didn dare to ask. My hb said if they really ask just say put on weight lor... haha. most of my colleagues are quite nice to me la
Chris, u at 2ww right? i experienced some gastric pain recently too, i never hv this problem. the nurse told me it is normal, cos the body produces more gestric juice when one gets pregnant... seemed like there is no cure leh... what i did was i eat something every 2 hours and it works for me...

hi,
Can i join in this forum? Just completed my embryo replacement today, given 2 weeks of hospitalisation leave. I feel very bloated all the time, can anyone share how to relief the bloatedness? Nurses keep asking me to eat 6-8 eggs per day and drink 2 cups of Ensure milk. Does that really help? I hated eggs and milk since young. It is such a torture. Anyone can advise?
