Fresh,
thx for sharing your ivf journeys. Whenever I read about ladies here like you who have tried so many times to get BFP, I really salute all of you for having the courge to carry on. It really takes more than being brave to tell yourself to go thru it again and again just so you can have a baby of your own.
I am still in the midst of thinking and discussing with my hubby as we still have 1 mth to decide whether to do it or not. SO meanwhile I will go for short holiday 1st, and think abt it during the break.
Boon Boon,
I agree with you that both husband and wife nd to be supportive of this idea if I am going thru it cos whether it is a success or not, there is always someone close to celebrate or mourn abt.
dreamababy,
I see. R u seeing any TCM for accu? I think accu does help a lot with success rate of IVF too. Although I had a bfn during the last ivf, thru'out the whole journey, somehow I feel I hv more confidence in tcm than western med. maybe bcoz Dr Zou talks to me during consultation and share what happens during each stage.
I dun agree wif ur doc that just bccos u r young, u gotta keep trying cos at the end of the day we juz want to have a healthy baby. Maybe that is the only thing they know how to say after u failed to console u. But I feel shouldn't they try to analyze what's wrong during the last cycle to increase chances of conception the next round?
Sometimes people around us simply dun understand all we want is a BFP, you cannot tell someone to keep trying after a failed attempt. You shd try to understand at that moment we nd some time to grieve, get it out of our system and then decide whether we want to try again or not.
I felt so after my failed attempt when the 1st thing my sis asked was "r u gonna try again?" I know she meant well but here I am feeling sad and drained both ohysically and mentally abt the whole episode and she thinks I am ready to go for it again. She thinks I commando meh! I know she cares but she dun understand.
Anyway,
Dr Sadhana has share wif me both artificial and natural FET for the following month. But I dunno which 1 shd i do cos I was telling her maybe we nd to do an artificial one cos my hubby and I will be shfting to Surabaya in Sep/Oct for gd for his business. And Dr Sadhana actually told me natural has 20% chance of success rate whereas artificial has 19%.
However, when I discuss wif hubb last nite, he feels I shd do natural cos wif that I dun hv to take any med. He tot my body can't take the side effects of med so well (experience from last cycle). So he is more for natural. However, Dr Sadhana also says that for natural we may hv to cancel FET if they find linning no gd or no ovulation cos currently i also dunno whether I ovulate every mth or not. Maybe I'll chk wif Dr Zou when I see her on Mon for accu.
Ladies, any advise?
