Thank U for your well wishes.
About u saying u are 'calm' and 'distracted' this cycle. I think u have reach the ultimate realm of ivf...hahaha. I believe u will succeed very soon. I think yoga helps to maintain inner peace and mind. ivf is not meant to be too difficult. After my 1st cycle, I take things more easily too, don't really think about it, everyday just jab, go scan, go BT, when time to ER/ET just proceed with it. Afterall, life have to carry on no matter what, don't let it rule your life. Just keep an open mind and be positive. Otherwise, how to battle on to get the end results we want.
Best of luck to you this cycle and babydust on you !

Hi Lyn,
Not sure why...he did not asked me to retake my BT during my preious IVF try in May. No test for DHEA too. In any case, for me, I intend to go ahead as advised by him. I did not response well to puregon for my last two tries so willing to try anything to have better quality eggs. With my age, also not advisable to wait....me turning 37 soon.
Can't remember which sister asked...I am also with Dr Zou, now seeing her twice a week.

do take care of yourselves and rest well. m sure things will turn out fine eventually for both of u...

try not to be too stressed. the jump in your fsh seems too drastic, it may be a one-off freak reading. do your BT again 1-2 mths later and see how it goes...
ladies
i read that there's natural and medicated FET. can anyone enlighten what's the difference? which is better and can we choose?

hi lyn, 30 min before the FSH blood test, try to sit down relax, don't talk or think anything, don't be active or do anything. just relax in sofa. from there the result will be accurate. I only knew from lab people also. hope it help!

Rostrum,
To em Dr zou is very far but I will rest for a month or two before I go back to her after a failed cycle.. want to give my tummy a rest from any more needle jabs
Serene,
I think you should skip the party and lie down as much as you can as per the doc instruction. Let your hubby and relative handle the party. Your son will understand
. You can turn from side to side if your back really ache badly. Try to minimise sitting or standing. The Gynae must have a valid reason to ask you really lie flat totally. Baby is more important, don't worry about your job if your boss is not understanding. I will pray for you and the baby
Both of you will be fine and God will bless both of you
Meow,
Where is your office? how come got tremour???

FYI, I have read many women taking wheatgrass to reduce the FSH level. The wheatgrass juice from the organic stores are more effective than the pills. But the juice is expensive here in the US, not sure how it is in Singapore. FSH does fluctuate from month to month, so it is possible that you caught it at a bad month.
Btw, I am not a regular on the forum but I just stop by from time to time cos' I used to read on this forum when I was doing my multiple rounds of IVF under SF Loh in Singapore.

lyn,
i wanted to retake my fsh level but was told that 9.6 is not a cause for concern. when asked y i wanted to retake my fsh, i said my frens said this figure means my ovarian reserve is depleting and the figures reads thats for women going thru menopause. but was told that menopausal is like around 40 - 50.
not sure abt your fsh. is it a cause for concern? did u ask prof?
btw, prof recommended long protocol for me, with higher dosage.

Su,
gonalf is the most ex for our cycle. your 11 days of stage 2 is shorter then the average of 14 days. that could be the reason for the $8.5k cost. is your dosage 225 only?

Lyn, check that out with prof and update me, ok. can drop me a message in my FB coz i dun follow the thread much. thanks.
Gloria, wat would u like to know from prof?
Meow, juz sharing with u and no offence to those ladies having treatment in sgh. I find the centre has no privacy coz when i saw there i can hear abt nurses teaching pts abt the treatment procedure etc coz the centre is small and nurses speak quite loud.. Environment well i prefer nuh.. Juz my personal point of view

im also with dr lc foong... u are not alone here..
I failed my 1st ivf with him in june... going to do fet next mth...now waiting for my af to come then can start liao... mine will be a medicated fet... no injections needed... only take progynova from d2 till d14 for scan... i guess dr foong will most likely do medicated fet than natural... cos i asked him before...he say easier to control...
may i ask when u going to do fet? cos for dr foong.. he say the 2nd normal af can do fet liao... not counting the af which came immediately after negative bt for ivf... so im wondering how come u need to wait for a few mths and need dr to give u the green light...
lyn
read abt your high fsh... hope you are feeling better now.. i can understand how shocked and worried you are when you got the results... but dont worry too much.. probably becos of all the injections from the cancelled cycle... i think you should go see your dr to understand more... u did your bt at nuh with prof wong rite? maybe u can make an appt to see him for a review... meanwhile relax and enjoy life... since u will only plan to do a fresh cycle next yr...

9.6 consider high? range of menopausal?
9.6 consider high? range of menopausal?
Gloria, when i had my prev taking of 9.5 dr zou told me its bordeline but still ok. Dun worry u r not considered high then how abt me? 21.3...
Meow, ya its ard there. But i went to some ang mo forum there r ppl who have 75 fsh reading still able to concieve so i guess to confirm menopausal stage have to take E2 to confirm... I guess for young high fsh does not mean menopause but rather the ovaries function is poor...
