Hi Mel,
Will you be delivering the twins normally? Any advice in order to avoid c-section or it would simply be inevitable? Glad you like the poem =)

Hi mino,
Welcome to the thread. You can loss confident in ur gynea but please dun loss confident in yourself. Personally, I gone through 1 ivf and 3 fet. None give me a baby and I will be trying for my 2nd ivf in June at kkivf.
If you are not comfy or loss confident with ur present gynea, ever thought of changing gynea?
You can do an embbies transfer to KKivf and do FET in KKivf. The cost at KKivf is less than $2K as compared to private hospital. What is your embbies grade?

Hi Sierra,
Firstly, I don't blame him for the failure. We are just angry over his attitude. I think my problem is that my body is unable to produce sufficent Progesterone. That's y implantation was unsucessful. The frustrating thing is I don't understand y he is sugguesting me to try another cycle so soon instead of explaining the failure caused and any solution to solve prior to go for the next cycle. Is he trying to takes us for a ride ??? Anyway is over now.

Hi Libby,
All the best to your ER tomorrow. Hope our decision to switch from CARE to KKivf is a wise choice and kkivf will bring us bb charm. Hee Hee....
Hope your embbies are all grade 4 and above! Remember, it's the quality and not quantity that is important wor....
Dun think I can join you for the 2WW but will definitely join you during 1st trimester.
Sleep early tonight and jia you jia you and JIA YOU!!!!!

bee,
it's normal for ivf-successful ladies to feel very preggie. it should subside by wk 8 or around there.
pau le,
u mean test kits wif hcg levels? dun think it's sold outside at all.
clinics & hospitals can give u levels cos they do the blood tests in labs.

Hi Bee,
Haha, just as I suspected, it could be the scent that will turn you off. I understand how sensitive the pregnant sense of smell can get. Perhaps I will also try to check that Clarins tonic oil. Thank you too!

hello everybody,
i'm new to this forum, and is happy to be directed to this active forum where all of us can share our experience. thanks to a Lady28 and Venusmaria.
i'm currently into my 1st IVF attempt, now taking GonalF injections every evening.
D6 scan only show 5 follicles, which (i gathered) is not optimistic. nevertheless, was told to continue with my 225IU GonalF.
understand that some of us here went for acupunture to enhance the IVF success rates.
my question is : is it too late to start acupunture now (D9 of Stage 2 injections)?

Hi mino, Grade 1 is very good leh. At the meantime, do tiao your body first. I believe ur decision to tiao ur body first is a wise choice. Maybe give urself 3-6 months.
Have u tried accu b4? Since your embbies are of good grade, you may strike naturally after seeing tcm. Hee Hee..

hmm... grade 1 embryos and still failed... maybe ur womb not conducive for implantation or maybe the eggshells are too thick for implantation.
u may want to seriously concult another IVF doc since the current one is not "helpful"... ya, i also think u shd tiao your body first before you start FET. Please dun lose hope yet. all of us here will give u the support u need!
have a good cry and rest well thereafter

Mino,
Don't lose hope okay? Maybe u can go to TCM to tiao your body first and then try another time. I am also preparing myself for my first IVF.
Sunflower/Mel,
Just went to see Dr Zou and she says she has never seen anyone's temperature as low as mine
Low BBT temperature according to Dr Zou - embryos might not stick well to the uterus lining *sigh*
I am going to start charting my BBT and then Dr Zou will give me other herbs to increase my BBT temperature. Hopefully it works and my embryos can stick tight!

Hi bee, congrats to you......so envy o
Don't think I'm going back to Prof Chen, tot of change gynae, donno hv to start all test over again. If yes, very time cosuming & addition cost. I feel sad for my balance 12 fzn embryos, cause they are still my babies. Tot of transfer to KKIVF but not sure Prof Chen will allow, anyway I'll check it out once decided.

Good to hear the OSCAR test went well
Orangey
Hopefully Dr Zou's herbs will work well to increase your BBT, since her other herbs can regulate your AF.
Mino
Don't lose faith. I have also failed my 1st fresh cycle and 1 FET. Am currently on my new cycle, ER is tom, and not giving up as long as not being classified as infertile or no hope.
Fresh
Yes! Am sure our decision to switch from CARE to KKH is the right choice. We will both succeed and be mommy very soon! Who knows, next time gathering all are preggy and subject change to MTB, smooth pregnancy journey
Joline
During my FET, only need to jab buselin (not sure how to spell), think it's similar to lucrin to suppress my hormones, you do not need to jab for FSH. It is definitely less stress, and cheaper. HCG jab is still required before my ET.
Cher
I believe Dr Loh should be able to help you.. and believe there's still chances for you.. just waiting for the right time to arrive. Don't give up yet. Meantime, it's good to tiao your body. Would recommend Dr Zou from AMK, do give it a try.

Libby,
Hows ur ER today? How many eggs retrieved? Hope you have all of them fertilized and in good grade. Remember to drink lots of water to prepare for ur ET.
Cher,
Welcome!
Mind if I ask your age? 8 yrs to try natural after ivf is very long! Did you seek other help during these 8 yrs besides Dr Sheila Loh? I used to be with her too, but then I switch to Dr Loh. Dr Loh is someone who get straight to the point, doesn’t give crap in his explanations. And he is well-known for his magic hands. Most of us here are with him. I’m sure you will have good news very soon.
Joline and Glora
Welcome!
Mino,
Hi! Finally you posted
Sorry to hear about the bad experiences with Dr Chen. Already heard many ladies talking about him. You have 12 frozen grade 1 eggs, really optimistic. But 3 tranferred, 5 discarded, what happened to the other 4? And why the 5 discarded? Guess now you need to adjust your emotions and brace up for the next cycle. I know this is easier said than done. But there is always an end and always a new start. You need to pick up again to prepare for the next step. I agreed with the rest, start to tiao your body, maybe you strike naturally, or even with FET, your uterus will be able to implant your embryos.
