muffin,
i do have cramps when i my mense first started... but it was always bearable and i dun have to take any medication until abt 1 to 2 yrs ago then i started having unbearable cramps... my whole body would ache before my af reports.. and then the 1st 2-3 days will have very bad cramps.... i dun have endo but i was diagnosed to be slight PCOS by dr loh... that's why i also end up with ohss for my ivf....
i think those on the long protocol all have similar stages... i dun remember when was my lucrin but i remember was a few days before my microgynon ended.
sofia,
if it's not causing u any pain maybe can try drinking cranberry juice first... but do let the doc or nurses know on wed... u dun wan this to drag on esp if u are pregnant..

As long as there is a line even a faint one means positive rite?!!! Believe in it, take care now. All the best to your BT. Stay positive
Aris,
Forget abt the class jus give it a miss. Baby more ipt for now. If mc is required and kk doesnt pick up, jus get any mc fr the GP nearby. You need all the rest u can get and be stress-free during this crucial period. Almost there now, all the best!! Remember to eat well and rest well.
I was pregnant naturally 4 times before but miscarried every time and now still no baby. And during that difficult period despite having spotting I was still working and attending part-time Diploma course. Commitments Commitments. If only I had prioritized would things turn out differently? So now I quit my job at home cuz of IVF and focus 100 percent to see if it works.

i quit my job too while i was doing my first ivf and i conceive a boy..

now quit job but have classes and my 2nd fet put in 3 embies hope it sticks..
really praying hard..
its not easy for us..
unless they have been there, gg thru injections, scans, blood test, ER, ET..then i think maybe they can relate
like we all here are gg thru the same things, so lets use each other as pillar of support..
i had a lovely son from ivf and i am sure all of us here wil have one too..BFP!BFP!
babydust from my IVF son to all of you.. Phew..

Thanks Aris Catch catch all the dust bcuz I wish for a boy.
How old is your son now? If u not working and jus have classes should be ok. Just give yourself a break if u need it and I think now u really should rest. When is your BT?
I hope I can succeed 1st IVF with boy jus like u. But if pregnant, I will self-impose home rest and partial bedrest because of my recurrent miscarriage history. So this year is my downtime. Even unsuccessful, also need abt a year to try and try again. I will continue to try until goverment subsidy is exhausted.

I am an example. I also never beyond 37, always 35 to 36 plus. During my first BFP, around AF report time, i have a fever, 38 plus. Of course i didnt know why but now i know, maybe fever is one symptom. Good luck! When you due for testing? Plan to hpt first? Maybe you preggy already!

I only have slight pain when peeing.. When not peeing also will feel some pain down there.. Only see blood during peeing and when i wipe...Dont feel bladder always full le.. I knw this is symptom of uti.. But i dont have le.. So i scare its not uti but something more serious.. Cos urine test cant test for bacteria. Can only test for white and red blood cells.. White blood cells
indicative of infection.. But seldom has red blood cells.. So i dont know why i have red blood cells le... That time yr urine test got test white and red blood cells?

Die,
no problem. Next time than. Good that ur hubby is going with u
My hubby in reservist day 1 on thur.
My menses still not here. Hopefully can come this few days. Otherwise, cannot start Puregon this thur....
Ya, i think infertility treatment really helps to bring couple together. My hubby have been very nice and understanding eversince the start of of my SO-IUI. And lately, with all the side effects that i am experiencing, he always crack jokes to cheer me up. So i was just telling my hubby yesterday, be it this ivf is successful or not, i have no regrets to go through it, because it bring our relationship closer.
Ya, let's jiayou together!!! Wish us and all ladies who are trying all BFP!!!

Eskimobaby,
I have PCOS too, so high chance getting OHSS. Infact, i have very very slight shortness of breath and swollen ovary during my SO-IUI. Therefore i am quite sure i will get it this time with the higher dosage of Puregon. I was only on 75 last time and this time (if i am not wrong) 200.
How much Puregon were u on? Did u drink 2 litre of water everyday from the stimulation stage to after ET?

Hi all,
My goodness the thread is so fast moving... i reallly wish i had time to follow. Iam always at work or else sitting like a lazy goose and dreaming abt baby... All the best for all of you.. Wish you all lots of baby dusts.
Here is my update
I was injected Lucurin 11.25 mg in May in KKH . they said i have endometriosis.
Then i went in after 2.5 mths for Scan & Blood test. They started me on puregon with 400 Units for 7 days. on 8th Day they increased my dosage to 500 units, continued for 3 days. Today after Scan they said the follicle had not reached the correct Size 16mm . 5 - 6 Follicle between 11- 14 mm. Hence again injecting for 2 days- 500 units. Iam not sure whether this is common. Might be they are giving overdosage in KKH bcos i had 6 Failed IUI in India. iam really worried now.. .
is there any home remedy that i can follow so that all the follicle reaches the right size?
Am i heading in the rite direction??

Aris,
I was working at childcare centre for more than ten years so u will understand thats why I quit. Its not a good job when u r trying for a baby. Too physically and emotionally demanding.
Ladies, I been taking at least one egg daily now Lucrin stage but I cant help myself even though I know I shouldnt but keep eating the egg yolk! Cuz the yolk is the best part of the egg!!

Fancy,
dun worry. The increase dosage will help to grow your follicles. If your body is not heaty, u might want to take essence of chicken one bottle per day to help. U sounds very worried, but if u are going to take Essence of chicken, do not attempt to take more than one, because it's heaty. Hope this helps.

u can get Ensure milk from supermarket like Fairprice, Coldstorage or pharmacies like Guardian. In terms of flavour, i guess it depends on individual.

In that case, just try to relax. Because the increase dosage will really helps. Alot of ladies here were like you, but after given the increase dosage, most of their follicles grew to the ideal size. So stop worrying and have faith in the doctor
All the best.

eskimobaby, I am on insert. What do you mean by hpt?
Hi Chen/Zaza/Fairyrose,
Thanks! ER went smooth today. Still feeling a little painful at the lower abdomen area, something like massive cramps
It's hard to walk without having my hands supporting my lower abdomen, looks like I'm pregnant! Kekee...
The Anesthesiologist said my veins toooo small and she poked twice on my right hand still cant get the entire needle in. Quite painful leh,.. so finally she managed to poke it in on my left hand and now I have 3 plasters! LOL! I retrieved 26 eggs in total and was prescribed with some medicine to prevent OHSS.

hi eskimobaby,
oh, if feel good and normal, means something is wrong. I thought just a symptom to console ourselves, so even Dr Loh says that. You will continue delivery with him?
hi adam mum,
i am sure BFP will be the best birthday present for Adam.
Try not to carry him during 2ww.
hi green muffin,
hope you can proceed to puregon stage soon. You can start thinking of english names for twins or even triplets.
baby dust to you. I haven't start thinking of an english name yet.
