Hey ladies,
Hvn't been in here for quite a while already...
Ellsa,
how's everything going? Hope u're getting lots of rest and thinking only +ve thoughts! Your BT's cmg up soon rite?
Greenie
I thk the only reason your doc would "refuse" you ivf is cos he/she wants you to try naturally again. But considering your age, I think Dr Loh wouldn't stop you bah. Good luck for your 1st consultation with him.
Ladies,

Zaza,

Hi, something to share on spotting.
I recall a lady had spotting whenever she stands or walk. Dr Zou advises her to take lotus root with glutinous rice like porridge. Her spotting stopped on that very night.
For those having spotting, you might like to try. Can't remember if she is having spotting during her early stage of pregnancy or 2ww.
Here's the recipe:
5 thin slices of lotus root. Cook with glutinous rice in a pot ...till it’s like porridge and eat it. You may throw in some red dates. Dr Zou says twice a week

My FSH level is 6.9 and E2 is 65. I read before if FSH level is not more than 10, and E2 100 is still consider ok.
Piggy09
Was told before if period is brown discharge, it's not considered D1 (it's remnants of previous period), only regular full flow then consider D1.
Koow
You are fortunate your mum is able to help you at overseas, we'll continue to update our progress
Baby
I always request for copy of BT, for my record. I'm starting my lucrin jab only on 19Mar. My previous IVF jab, will also cause me bloated etc, like pregnant feeling, think that's normal.
TNT
All the best to you for your ET.
Meowmeow
Good luck to you, hope to hear good news!
Dosb
Congrats to you, and thanks for supporting us. May I know who is your gynae at KKH? Are you suppose to rest for 30mins after ET? Private clinic always practice that, they do not want you to walk immediately after ET, they will even help you release your urine. Did you go for any accupunture?
Chris
I also sent Dr Loh an email since last wed, he hasn't reply yet, not sure if he's on leave or busy..
Miracle Baby
I hope Dr Loh will be able to help you, and you can go for IVF soon.
Humbug
How come I read that hubby need to take antibiotic? What is that for? On what basis do they give? Good luck to you!
Ellsa
All the best to you, hope it's only false alarm, and you will get BFP.
Krisz
Welcome, and good luck to you.

You got your BT result yet?

okie. I did my first try at KKH for FET. A bit diff from CARE. They performed the FET on an inclining chair instead of a bed and only allows u to rest for 15 to 20 mins.
At CARE, they make the ET looks so serious, like your hubby and yourself got to dress in operating suit but in KKH, we just went in there in our own clothes.
I heard that KKH do not allow hubby to be with you during ER. He got to wait outside.

Libby,
Thanks for your reply. Last sat I went to see Dr Loh and was told that I need to remote polyps prior to IVF (inside my uterus). So I may not be able to do IVF in May. Most likely in June. So now pray hard to have a successful operation in April.
Dosb
Congratulation!

Hi Kritz,
I felt very thirsty and warm after my 1st jab of puregon and have been feeling quite restless lately.. heehe maybe cos of the rainy weather.
Btw anyone knows if you are awake during ER of fully sedated at KK??? How about ET, is it painful??? Is the hb allowed to go in during ET?

Lina, thanks.. hope I can promote to the next stage asap!!!! Hee..
Boon Boon, don't worry about the operation. It is a small operation. You will be given 1 week HL for the operation. I did that before I started my IVF too. If your operation is in early April, you should be able to start in May after your AF
Ellsa, don't give up hope yet!!!
Chris, feeling warm is normal
Fresh, so we will be fully awake during ET?

baby, chris,
you will be fully awake during ET. Have to hold very full bladder during ET, it feels quite bloated throughout and can be crampy once embryos are put in. In KK, you can go pee about 10mins after ET, no need to hold bladder for too long.
However, my experience is that it was very painful when urinating straight after ET, the crampy feeling was very painful.
Chris,
as for ER, you will be given sedation, not GA in KKIVF. Should be in total sleep during ER, hubby will not be present, coz he will have to do his job at the same time which is to get ready his fresh sperms.
I am not sure of the dosage of the sedation given during ER. Mine was given very light, so not in total sleep, can still feel and hear. Anyway, it should be painless during the ER, but will be crampy and painful after ER, especially urinating. Just bear with it anyway, and look forward to 2ww and good news to BFP!

Give yourself a break 1st and plan your next step.
Humbug & tnt, can I check with both of you if your hubby feel uncomfortable after taking the antibiotics? My hubby say he feel very weak. Is it normal?
Lina, you are still on purgeon injection after seeing the doc today? How many days of purgeon are you in now?
bliss, thanks for the info

Hi Libby,
hahaha I gave up on Dr Loh, he hasn't reply my emails or return my calls.
Guess the only time I get to talk to him is hopefully this coming thurs hiaz...
Hi Fresh,
Thank gdness to hear that ET is like paps smear phew....
Hi baby,
Me injecting 400 puregon.
Hmm.. me and hubby not given any antibiotics to take last thurs visit, the nurse in charge says that cos KKIVF has only doxycycline and we are both allergic to it. Now just keeping fingers crossed that me and hubby don't fall sick prior to ER cos now on off having running nose liao :'(
Think I better try to call KKIVF again cos Dr Zou also advise me to check with KKIVF again as it is quite important to take antibiotics during this period. Hiaz if not for govt subsidy I don't think i will go to KK as I've previous bad experience at KK during my 1st ops there.

Hi Ladies, saw some of you mentioned about HSG that determine the dosage for purgeon. I looked through my BT result previously from TMC. Can't find HSG. Are you all referring to FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)?
Because I understand that HSG refer to X-ray test that examines the inside of uterus and fallopian tubes and the surrounding area leh.

Hi baby,
I was thinking that if KK still doesn't give me any antibiotics, at most I may call my gynae Dr Seng (used to be fr KKIVF)at gleneagles for a 2nd opinion to see if he can prescribe me and hb some.
Me and hubby have also decided that if I really get BFP, I'll go back to my existing gynae for future consultations as at least pte gynae is more personal and "contactable"...

Hi baby,
I understand from the nurses that the dosage for puregon depends on your FSH, and age etc.
The higher the FSH and age the higher the dosage.
