hi lina,
ya, that's what my DH tells me, he said the priority now is to make sure the baby/babies grow well and develop healthily in my womb and not bother about weight gain...when will my ms come? I am so scared of the ms! Actually, i am more scared of the coming scan....whether can see heartbeats or not.....fingers crossed and pray hard lor! Do we still continue with the brazil nuts, chicken essence, ensure milk after BFP?
hi maggie mee,
mine is 15 sept, maybe yours will be on the same day as Dr Marianne is on duty in Clinic D on that day. Nurse explained that i will see Dr on 15 sept then will decide whether to continue seeing her or see a team of docs in Clinic C.
Hi ladies who have BFP, do all of you stick to your ivf gynea after your BFP? I don't know what are the options....need some advice on this, can anybody help?
can we start using our medisave for our doc visits and medication purchase after we have BFP? I ask those ladies at the kk pharmacy when i collect my support medication after the BT, they say cannot use, but i thought can....i am so confused now....

hi dec,
Thanks! I am sure you will get the luck too!
Are you on inserts only? I was only given inserts and folic initially but was given oral medication after my Progesterone BT as they say my Progesterone level a bit low. So far, how you feel?
Thanks! I am sure you will get the luck too!

congrats to bubbybear, maggie & ickle! have a smooth and safe pregnancy! Ickle, I am especially happy to hear of a positive from FET. Starting to feel very pessimistic about my upcoming FET.
Just to share positive stories of inspiration, I have a colleague who went through 3 unsuccessful cycles of IVF, and eventually went on to conceive 2 kids naturally after she gave up on IVF.
Likewise for me, when I started my TTC journey a couple of years back, the doctor looked at my hubby's results and told us we are almost certain to need to go through IVF. But he will just attempt 1-2 rounds of IUI first since it is cheaper. Surprisingly, I got pregnant on my 1st round of IUI. My doctor then calls it a miracle :> So ladies, do not give up hope.
I just saw Dr Loh today for a review on when to do FET - he did not discuss whether to go for D2 or D5 blast with me. Although during ER, he did mutter that he will probably attempt some D5 since I have many embryos. So should I contact him to ask or will he review with me again on D2?
My FET is scheduled for end Sept/early Oct depending on when my menses report...

Did not know that Dr Sadhana will suggest blast for 2nd fresh cycle. Just to check did you success on this 2nd cycle with blast?
If thats the case i mind consider switching to Dr Sadhana as really cannot afford private rates.
Before my 2nd fresh cycle, I have spoken to Dr Loh but he's not open to either AH or D5 transfer even though i have quite a number of follicles. Actually nothing was suggested to me...i asked and was rejected

Dun worry the protein powder dun taste like cough mixture. Its more like mild mixed berries taste not very strong strawberry taste. Should be rather acceptable for most ppl.
I just met fandz to pass her a bottle maybe she can give some feedback after she try it.
We meet up next week if you really hate the taste ...and dun mind having 1/2 berries and 1/2 normal type i can do exchange for you.
Fandz
Nice meeting you today ... a little rush else we could have shared more stuff. All the best for your ER..dun think too much you will have good embies this time round. Do feedback to humbug once you have tried the protein powder.

ttc no2,
sori you on FET so better chk with him what day your transfer. For me was fresh cycle so D2 will review with me.
Sunflower,
That msg was for ttc no2. If you have agreed to do D5 ET for you then D2 there will be a review to see how your embries are doing and whether D5 ET is ok or not. Nurse did tell me that it can be D2, D3, D4 or D5 depending on how the Embries are doing.

Thanks for the advice. Will check closer to date.
FYI for ladies in KK
You can actually request to speak with the embryologist to ask more about the quality of your eggs etc. I did not know that until this was shared earlier in the forum. So just ask the nurse if you want to know more.

fond..what is body alkaline??? hehe Yes, I will try natural first so have to build up my health. The Dr at KKH did not tell me what went wrong.. they never mention if it is cause of the sperm or the egg..I thought the embroyist should tell the patients if the cycle fail.. sigh.....I will meet you next week. This week crazy schedules at work...
Wow I watch this test tube baby show on ch 70.. the lady tried 12 times, before she is successful after the age of 40. I am so impressed. Maybe IVF in States is not that expensive....The funny thing is that they inject themselves on the thigh.. the ladies in the show are all above 40. And the mother gave birth in a huge Bath tub!!! I am so inspired by her peservance not the giving birth in the bathtub hor..

more successful stories....congrats maggie and ickle...
tomorrow will be fandz, leobaby and my ER....
pray that we go through this and ET on monday smoothly.
OHSS happens after ER or ET? so i should start to up my egg white and water intake after ER? these are the only 2 main criteria to prevent OHSS?

Ivftwins
for ohss, while u r at puregon, esp towards the end, some may already have symptoms such as bloatedness n nausea. With the last Jab before er, it may be worsened. During my last cycle when I was assessed to be prone to ohss, I was advised to take up to 4 egg whites per day during stage 2. Was also given med to prevent ohss. But end up still kena. ;p could only say that my intake of protein was still not enough.
So that's why from stage u, u shd load up on protein intake to prevent ohss. The water intake is to ensure good passing of excess medication from your body.
Hope it's clear to u.

ttc_no2, I'm also with Dr Loh. I did not get to see him before my ET so did not have a chance to do a review and decide if it's going to be a D3 or D5 thaw. Mine was a D3. Like you I was skeptical about the chances of success from a thaw cycle but the results have proven otherwise so I guess anything is possible. I wish you all the best!
Serene, thanks for coming back and dropping your kind words. How are you doing? You must be in your 2nd trimester already right?
fandz, leobaby and ivftwins, good luck to your ER tomorrow.
Maggie, were you at KKH this morning to collect the medication? I saw another lady who also tested positive and wonder if it was you. I was wearing a black floral dress.

The inserts very messy leh. Keep on having discharge. Arrghh...
Hi Fandz, Thanks. We will try our best. haha....

Fresh,
So fast 10 weeks already ! 3 more weeks and u are out of 1st tri. I'm about 6plus weeks only. Will go for 1st scan next week to see how things go and I'm nervous.
MaggieMee,
Congrats on the BFP ! Take good care for the next few months, yah.
ickle,
Congrats to you too ! No matter the number, the grade or how long eggs are frozen it doesn't really matter, what matters is, it has the right genetic material and envt neccessary to survive ! The same thing with fresh cycles.
ttc_no2,
think positive ! Believe in miracles.
LYn,
U are very right ! Just keep chasing the dream, try all avenues and it will happen !
Only when u fail, u truely know what success really means !
May,
Don't sleep so much, try to do some light walking and only eat quality food. Otherwise, how to be yummy mummy ?
In AU, ivf Dr only do ivf. Once heartbeat detected, that's the end of our patient/Dr relationship.
humbug,
Actually, its no that uncommon. In AU, patients handle everything too except the scans, ER/ET.
Maybe the nurses here lazy. Also Spore has the luxury to employ alot of cheap foreign talent nurses to do all these. I wish we can have that luxury too. Just go clinic to inject, don't have to worry about screwing up the meds.

i am also having white discharge even after I have stopped the inserts. Did you tell your office about your BFP?

maggie mee, so it was you! I was only a few seats away from you at Clinic D
re. discharge, I'm also having it though not very much.
May, I stucked to Dr Loh throughout my first pregnancy but I know of a couple of ladies who changed to the regular gynae after tested positive after IVF. I was told that actually once you are pregnant, your pregnancy should be no different from the normal pregnancy unless you are expecting multiples.
