Maggie mee,
Congrats on seeing the heartbeat!!!
Rest well and have a safe and smooth pregnancy! Have added you on msn. Do add me too.
Leo_baby, Sorry to hear the news. Take care...
You have any frozen embies?
Linda,

For Dr. Zou there, usually she recommend accu for a consecutive of 5 days before ER/ET. Are you with her?

hi dec,
still need to wait for the next BT to confirm, stay positive. Suggest that you get the digital HPT, no need to guess on the faint line.
Hi leobaby,
Hugs! so sorry about it. Do rest and try again. Never give up.
hi maggiemee,
if kk is convenient for you, then no need to change doctor. Dr Marianne queue should be quite fast if you are under TPS. I changed from Dr Loh to my previous gynae (also from TPS) due to shorter waiting time.

December, thanks. Just read back the past posts, good luck to your next BT, hope its a distinct BFP!
Lina, which Dr did you switch to? During my 1st pregnancy I stayed with Dr Loh but switched from clinic D to TPS. Depending on the day of consultation, the queue was still quite long especially if its on a Sat. Now with Dr Loh getting more patients, I'm thinking whether I should switch to another gynae too.

is it ok to change within the same hospital? my 1st gynae also dr loh but later change to pte.
hi ickle,
i switch to Dr Han, senior consultant at TPS who also has night clinic at TPS and he goes to kk ang mo kio clinic on certain days as well. This is much more flexible as i don't need to take leave from work for normal check up, can go after work. The charges is the same as Dr Loh and shorter waiting time.

ickle/angel/lina,
i also switch gynae to dr benjamin tham... he's with tps too and also goes to the amk clinic on certain days and sat... i prefer to get a gynae within the same hosp as my records are all there.... if switch to other hosp, they wouldn't have my past records as well as my ivf records..

Don't give up ok. Try again when u are ready.

Hop u resolve your BT with good results. Meanwhile rest well until your next BT.
Ladies
Saw the discussion on sleeping position find it quite interesting. Dr here don't believe sleeping position has anything to do with implantation. Straight-away after ET, they release us, didn't even ask us to lie down for 5 or 10 mins etc, just told us to resume normal activities. Maybe this is the western way.

angel,
he didn't ask me... i think most gynae won't ask... nope... he's not an ivf doc but he's the vice head of O&G department... for me, i'm having a singleton so after the initial stage/1st trimester, my pregnancy is like other normal pregnancy... but he seems to be well informed of ivf procedures... cos when i saw him in wk 15... he told me to continue with duphaston as he said most ivf pregnancies will take it till wk 16...

hi angel,
similar to eskimobaby, my gynae didn't ask why i change doctor. But he told me to stop duphaston at around 3 months as it will be just like normal pregnancy with singleton.
hi sunflower,
my FET was medicated as my menses is irregular. But i didn't do any preparation last time, didn't take herbs nor chicken essence. But i rested very well for 2ww, though only given 7 days mc but i ask for extension till BT.

Hi Angel,
My puregon dosage was 400IU then adjusted to 500IU.
Didnt really responded well cos only 2 big follicles was stimulated. And oni 1 made it to the transfer. But then i was very happy already at least one can make it to ET. I was very prepared that I wont get a lot of eggs due to my high FSH level. Mayb that's y I wasnt disappointed with the few no. of eggs stimulated and was actually very grateful that 1 can be good enuff to be transfered.
So dun be discourage abt your high FSH. Be prepared and go with the treatment thinking that all you need is just ONE egg to make your wish comes true!
Hi Linda,
Good luck for your ET next tue! So u gonna have your pregnyl jab on Sun night??? Wow! like taking express train and you are going to reach your destination real soon!

dr zou say must do accup consecutive 5 days ah before er/et?
im doing fet next mth... dr zou asked me to do accup twice a week... is it nearing to the day of et...must do accup for 5 days??
those planning to do fet
my gynea ask me to do a medicated fet... no injections needed... just take prognvona 3 times a day from d2... this is to suppress hormones to prevent ovulation... then go for a scan on d14 to see when can do et... my gynea say why he prefer natural fet to medicated one is that it is better to control the cycle... if based on natural...have to scan more frequently and harder to control the ovulation esp for those who has irregular cycle who may not ovulate every mth...
for those who has done fet and succeed..
care to share us the success tips? eg.. what to do or eat during the weeks to fet...

linda,
During my 2ww, I had my D8 blood test to see how is my progesterone level & I was prescribed Duphaston the next day as they say my progesterone level is a bit low. So, taking Duphaston before BFP is possible but not sure whether can u request for it though...
