yum yum,
I think Dr Zou never say cannot take herbs during ivf. She would encourage those to take herbs during purgeon and 2ww if you dare to take it just that you have to space 2 hours apart from the 2 different kinds of medications.In fact she recommends a lot of patients to buy the fish essence with wild ginseng as it is good especially during 2ww... do discuss with her directly if you have doubts.

Hi Meow, Was the one you went recent? the one I want was at one about 1 yr ago, I think that was at the civilisation museum. I brought a friend who was having infer issues. it raised awareness for both of us, she ended up in SGH and I decided to do it at KKH cos of the distance. she was rushed into a short cycle due to her age so that she can be entitled to the govt grant, but after max dose, she had only 1 egg, and it didnt work out, so she was very sad..
anyway, i had a false alarm, my menses was slightly late, and for a brief moment, i thought i was preg... today AF repored... oh well...
and because of the uncertainties in the past few days, i felt really tired about this. Last week i was doing fine, yet today, i am in the mood of going ahead or not going ahead with ivf... my doc's appt is in 9 days time... and here i am still hesitating.
I really admire ladies here who never relent.. I hv not even started, and I am already thinking thrice...

HI meow
oh my gosh, we were at the same place!!! Yea, I remb the very reputable and famous prof...
in 9 days time, will be my appt to sign consent on the ivf. i guess will also get the result of my FSH BT and saline sonogram and see if I hv a go... i dun no what to think...
HI Lyn, yes, if doc say I get a go, this would be my first. My friend was rushed to do her first cycle cos she was already 39 and hitting 40 in Jan 09. so they rushed her into a short cycle in Nov or dec 08. Govt grant is for those below 40. you hit 40 then not eligible le..
Hi Die, I will be seeing Dr Kelly Loi too, heard so much about her, will be meeting her soon =)

HI Die... All the Best!!! Rest well, and stay positive dearie!
Ladies... addding to Aris & Fancy.. when i got BFP, i chose not to talk about it too much to my friends/family. it is not a natural pregnancy and risks of miscarriage are higher, so i wd rather take all precautions and not get my hopes too high. i can only pray to God everyday to give me a chance for His blessings.
cut story short... 3 gfs told me how i shd learn to be thankful to God instead of not wanting to talk about it. my refusal to talk about it 'upset' them. they think i'm being paranoid... i'm not. they are the kind that can easily conceive any time they want. in fact, they are on the opposite side of the game. they all had gone thru abortions.. coz they can't afford another baby!! i feel like telling them... they should instead learn to be thankful for God's blessings.. coz women like me & all of us here... go thru physical & emotional pain which they will never need to go thru.
though i am no longer in Stage 1 & 2, i feel so at home here.

hi hope_bb, for clomid there's no ER/ET. you take it on day 2 to day 6 of your period. clomid is to help stimulate more than 1 egg release during ovulation, thus increasing your chances of conception when you & hubby have sex during those few days of your ovulation.
i experience weight gain after 1 cycle of clomid (which failed). a friend's wife conceived twin girls from clomid. all the best to you.

Yes I opted to go straight to do IVF after my fertility test infact..
The reason was : after my HSG screening I found out that one side of my ovaries was having a cyst and one of my fallopian tubes was almost blocked. To add on to that my hubby was having slow moving sperm.
So after knowing the results I ask the doc what are the chances if I chose to do IUI or on CLOMID. I was then given a brief explanation on the pros and cons.
Not wanting to waste time and end up having false hopes, I chose to do IVF straight.. thus the explanatory began from the there and all the tests followed up..

I am doing mine in KKH. In fact I have a friend in NUH working as a nurse and even she did IVF there, What she told me was in NUH, there will only let you do IVF as the last resort.
As for my I have been seeing KKH for the past 3 yrs for my cyst problem etc thus I decided to do my fertility test under them. My first consultant was the African lady gynae, whom encouraged me alot to do the IVF straight in fact.

hi sofia
yes its true what u said..
though u are pregnant now, there is a voice at the back of ur mind saying that something may happen, may happen that makes u feel like oh something bad is gg to happen..
for me when i was pregnant with my boy i told my parents and family and my mum goes ard telling "everybody"..
haha
guess she was just over excited as this is her first grandchild..
dont bother abt ppl that will only bring you down..my sister got married dec 2008 and now pregnant due date 4 nov..
fast rite but her journey during pregnancy wasnt easy..severe morning sickness. unpaid leave. mine was relatively fine and glad to say that even labour was all right..
maybe we go thru difficult part first then when BFP we enjoy the happy and hoefully easier part..
but do and tell only when u feel like it not because they forced u too..
ok? congrats on ur pregnancy and good luck in the heartbeat scan soon..

hi humbug, sorry if i wrote anything wrong. if i dun remember wrongly, Dr Zou did say do not eat dang gui (huo xue, enliven the blood) and bao ji wan specifically once you et. i asked her that cos i ate duck with dang gui before my er and was worried then. to be careful, we will still need to check. cheers!

Cherie and Greenie,
your AF come so early? so meaning u all ovulate on the lucrin cycle..
Minnie,
i asked the nurse b4, if AF reported later than the scan day, may delayed Puregon slightly. but i also understand that some ladies here started puregon even b4 AF reports. I dont know if its weird becos follicles only start to grow from CD1.

One thing I nt sure is we are suppose to report on the first day the menses arrives.. but the lucrin starts from day 21? which means towards the Sept menses?

Hope_4_bb, I done IVF without going thru IUI becoz my DH has low sperm count and if I go thru IUI, the chances is not high.
Fat babe, your HL will start from the ER day. You can get Hl from kkh from the start of ER and the last day of HL to be the day of your pregnancy BT. When you have ER, it does not means there will be ET. Reason is that there may not be any eggs fertilize or the eggs quality is not up to standard. You will only know whether the ET is going as per plan on the ET day.

Hi Hope for bb..i did not do IUI at all..mine was straight to IVF..this was the doc's decision..i and hubby asked the doc tht we wanna try IUI first ..she (DR MARIANNAE) sasy its pointless..cos my left tune is blocked..even after laproscopy she said is badly scarred..and my right tube is also slight scarred..so no way IUI..even Dr Sadhana says the same thing..
Aris..yes im still here..heheh..just been busy..and also alot of emotions going thru me..i wanna keep thinking positively..but at the back of my mine..the fear or the opposite always lingers..and having no symptoms..eg sore bbs..aint helping at all..i keep feeling the menses like cramps..and when it happens..i just wanna cry..worrying the worst.
Last yr when i was actually preg..i was happy..but i was so paranoid..i was like in disbelief that im actually preg..at the back of my mind i always hav the thgough of me losing the pregnancy..i was so paranoid that i make sure the food that i eat are good..like i keep googling on the net..and th eworst was i was looking for sypmtoms on of MC on the net..i was so so paranoid..i was like telling myself that i cant believe im really blessed to be preg..i forgot..to enjoy the journey..when they was a slight spotting i wil always rush to clinic to scan..and make sure baby was alright..and yes..heartbeat was strong..but sadly enuf..at 10weeks..heartbeat jus stopped..no idea why....now i learnt that i shldnt be too paranoid..nowadays i hardly go to the internet to look for anything..besides coming to this thread..i just wanna relax..but then the fear still lingers....
