IVF/ICSI Support Group


Hi everyone,

I'm new here. Will be seeing Dr SF Loh in the afternoon for the first time. Can anyone advise me of what he usually do when he sees the patient for the first time??
 
Hi Chew,
welcome. The 1st visit Dr Loh will find out about your situation first. If necessary, he will ask you to do blood test or hubby sperm test.
 
Hi lianaang,

Thanks for the info. Actually, I have done IUI before in June with O&G. DH done SA test in May. So do you think Dr Loh will ask us to do it again? We even done some blood test for hormone..
 
Hi Chew
Welcome.

Bliss,
Stay positive. If need be ask your clinic for early BT so can go tomorrow. It is better to go early instead of living with the stress. you decide, just a suggestion from me.
Anyway stay positive dear
 
Hi Chew,
it's ok. Since your SA is recent, maybe not necessary to do again. Was your IUI at KK as well? Then they should have your records.
 
Hi Bliss

Previously I also called KKIVF to ask if an early BT is allowed as I was having cramps, they do allow it to be done 2 days earlier. You decide, ok?

I will be praying hard for you here.
 
Hehe Babyhopes, Lina, i too like the emoticons, sometimes so cute, just look at them cheer me up alittle plus easier for me to find my posts

Hi Chew!
 
Ping,
I am so scared...just now was worried that I cried abit... but told myself to control myself. I am so timid now that I dont even have the courage to test tomorrow...

hi bliss,

don cry... maybe u arrange for test earlier lor. so that u will not be too stressed up.

who knows you might be blessed with a surprise!

cheer up! :D
 
Bliss, oh dear. I know how you feel. Arrange for an earlier test bah. At least you have answer earlier than wait and worry? But actually dipping BBT can also mean preggy just that progesterone low? So early test also good, at least if hormone low can quickly supplement.
 
Bliss

I understand how you feel now. But why torture yourself with the "?????". For me, I did not go earlier because I am very sure it is a negative. Don't be upset, who's know it is good news and you can celebrate over the weekends. Stay positive.
 
Hi all,
thanks for all your very kind suggestion and encouragement. I will decide whether to take the test tomorrow...
Will ask the nurse later when going for my injection in the afternoon. But I predict the nurse will surely said not to worry, it is fine as long as AF has not come. And nurse will continue to say that it will also be fine if I want to take my BT earlier.

I am not crying. Thanks, ladies... thanks for listening. All I need now is to be mentally prepared, so that no matter what the result will be and when to know the result will no longer make me so affected... I cannot be so weak I know.
 
Bliss,

It's gd to hear tt you are accepting whatever the result would be.... be positive and happy and hopefully you have gd news to share .... take care
 
Welcome Chew!
I'm with Prof Ng. Did cycles of IUI but failed. Now in the midst of ICSI. Tomorrow's my ET! All the best to you! Prof Ng normally gives the report of SA right? You can bring it along to KKH this afternoon. Keep asking!

Dear bliss,
Don't read too much into the signs. Thinking about it doesn't help. Hmm.. some cartoon and magazines to help? Keep typing here! We are here to read and 'talk'!
 
babyhopes
Carefully carry home the cute little babies in you tomorrow. Be happy and as i said earlier,just keep positive and try to as cheerful as possible.
Your cute little babies will be happy to see you.
Happy ET
 
bliss
pl, pl try not to read too much into the symptoms, u hv been worried the most part of the past week, and hv made yrself so upset many times....

try to recall all the brave ladies in this forum and wat they hv been thru. "whatever will be, will be"... u hv done wat is needed, worry also won't help, jus prepare yrself for the result, whichever way it turns out k?

and i'm q confident it will turn out to be POSITIVE, u hv passed two wks and AF has not arrived!!
happy.gif


i know i'm jus rambling on and on, and it's prob easier said than done. but i dunno how else to comfort u and lift yr spirits up. i'm even thinking of offering to go pick u up and bring u to a nice pl for afternoon tea!!?!?!??
 
babyhopes,
Just thought will share with you,when i saw my embryologist i went and hugged her and thanked her for making my babies. Later asked her if i could see my babies(looked quite crazy inside OT). So my happiness started there. So just keep yourself stress free and enjoy.
 
chew
welcome! i saw dr loh earlier this yr. unlikely he will ask u to repeat tests u hv done, but rather order those needed but u've not gone thru.

for SA, think will not change much in 2-3 mths too, but diff clinics may interpret the results differently. for example - dr loh said TMC is more strict and hence men tend to get worse results if they do SA there compared to KKH.
 
kalki!!!
u r really sooo adorable and sweet lah, this is the first time i've heard anyone thanking the embryologist for making their babies!
happy.gif


really v sweet of u, most of us forget the "unsung heroes" other than our doctors.
 
Bliss darling,
I know it is hard. But just be positive. Do not go in search for symptoms. Just now my IVF center people spoke to me ask me questions like...
any mood swing?
any bloatedness?
any blood discharge?
And my answer was nothing. Then they where wondering why i am answering in a happy manner. But my next line was i want to be a happy mother.
So even i can just wonder how come i don't have any symptom. But i don't care.
I know it is hard, but still.................

Lots of love,hugs and prayers from me always there for you.
 
hi babyhopes.
i'm wif O&G too, but wif dr lc foong.
may i ask how many cycles of IUI u did? i jus did one, waiting to do second. but wondering how many i shd try b4 going to IVF.
 
Pooh
When i saw her first i was actually on the bed...just got down and said everybody wait for me until i hug her. My doc also was wondering why am i behaving childish....aiya!!! i don't care.
 
Pooh,
thanks for your support and encouragement. Today is my 14 dpET, so these few days are kind of critical period.
From my past experience, my AF will usually turn up few days late or on the same day of BT if under progesterone supplements. So I also cant depend on the fact that AF is not here yet and so must be BFP.
Anyway, I know I am easily stressed up this whole week. I felt bad too.
I am going KK for injection now.
Thanks again for the wishes.
Good luck to you too.
 
Bliss baby,
How are you? Did you have your lunch what are you planning to eat? and where and when??????
heeee.......try change topic....
Anything else to share with mummy...come i am here for you...
Love
 
HI bliss ,

Not to worry so much ok , sit back and think be it whether is good or bad new still you have to face it rite ? tell yourself if is a BFN and feel like crying.....go ahead and do it cry out loud once for all then tell yourself NEVERMIND i will still try again.If is a BFP ( all of us here hope you can get it ) then you can be more careful in your early test especially once if you are pregy is not so good that everyday yopu feel sad , moodly ,stress etc ....
My koligs lost her 30week daughter due to she always have feeling that the baby is not with her , moody , stress ........

Dear bliss you did your best already and you did very well thur your IVF jorney there is nothing you can do about the result. (((HUG)))
 
Thanks Bliss!
May I ask, who's your dr? Hahahaa... Let me thank him here on your behalf! Can't be as expressive as Kalki to give him a hug though...

Thanks Kalki!
See your babies? U mean we can ask to see it b4 it goes into us!?! I'd love to! Like I mention, guess I'm still shy to hug my nurse/doctor but I'm definitely ready to express my deepest thanks with hand-made cards! I'll carry my baby home carefully! Will make my hubby pamper me a few more days b4 he goes back to work! Hahhahahaaa..

Dear pooh2,
I'm with Prof. Did 1 IUI at SGH b4 my polyp removal then twice with Prof after my polyp removal. Prof wanted to try for more than once so I tried. I wanted to make sure I make adjustments to increase my chance each time I tried it. Hence, 2nd try I had my polyp remove, 3rd try my hubby had accupuncture done. So think of ways to improve your chances! I mean, it's not cheap to do it in pte clinics! I did it govt hospi then pte clinic, I sense the difference in svc and of coz $$$ Hahahhaaa...
 
hi ladies,

can i check something with you gals?

ever since my laproscopy, my last 2 cycles, i have been passing many big blood clots and heavier flow from previous cycles. wondering whether is this normal?

sort of scary to see so many big blood clots being passed out. previously was only small ones and not so heavy flow.

can advise?
 
Hi comfort, sorry for the slow reply, the thread is going so fast, haha....but think bliss had replied you on the charges already

Hi kalki,
think most of us forgot to thank the embryologist. Actually they are more important than our doctors in this initial stage.
 
Hi Babyhopes,
The ET is done in the OT as in your ER. No hubby allowed. Someone will come and wheel you into the OT.
I think you have to make payment at the O&G clinic for the freezing.
You have to lie in bed for 4hrs before you can be discharged. Not even allowed to go toilet. Have to ask for bedpan.
I thought the payment for the ivf procedure is done prior the ER? How come you are only paying before the ET?
 
Hi all,
thanks for all the comforting!
I just came back from KK, had my daily injection.
I asked the nurse, she said I could take my BT tomorrow or even today. I may probably take my BT tomorrow morning then.
I told her about my drop in BBT over these 4 days. The nurse thought it is unusual and should not be like this since I am taking progesterone injections everyday. She suggested I could take hpt first if I want to know the result. Coz by now, hpt should be able to detect hcg in the urine. I am feeling rather tired and rather loss of hope actually. Coz the drop in BBT really does not seem good.

Well, just allow me to feel down today. I will need to accept the truth tomorrow.

Thanks again for all the care and concern, ladies!!
 
HeY ladies , exspecially those in stage 2 and gg for ER.

Found this in another thread just wanna share with u .

Regarding egg-white eating method, the method that Dr Yap taught me is to place the raw egg white in a cup, put a few scoops of milo/horlick/cocoa/ensure on top and pour boiling water on the mixture and stir then quickly drink. Cooking the eggs even for a short while over the stove destroys the albumin protein which we need. U must eat betw 4-8 egg whites after your ER op as the onset of OHSS is most severe after ER op.
 
Hi Bliss and Ping,
I also met the embryologist. She pass me the photo. I was staring at the photo so never ask her questions. But i am not sure if she is the only one in charge or it's a department handling the embroyo.
 
Hi Bliss,
If you are very curious, you can test urine to see the result. I think the urine test should be accurate now.
Anyway, your BT is tml. so keep us update oh ^_^
 


Hi everyone, I did my ER today. A total of 22 eggs were extracted. I had abumin infusion immediately after the procedure as my dr wanted me to have less of the OHSS symptoms.

The procedure was alright, I slept thru it actually! Now I have cramps in my lower abs, the nurse also ask me to eat more protein and drink more water. I shall know how many eggs get fertilised tomorrow.

My dr doesn't want to transfer the embryos next week as he say the risk of me losing the pregnancy at my OHSS state is high. So I gotta wait for 2 months.
