is it true that the gynae need to do the ET for us. If he is away, any replacement, or can we insist him doing for us ???
Becos i saw from the thread that Dr Loh is clearing leave from 13 Dec 09. Really dunno how ?
Quite a number stated that Dr Loh have magic hands, izzit during ET? If really, i really dun wish to miss the boat.

rostrum
i did HSG also..and not painful at all. just a bit embarressing.. heheeh.. glad that was over.
ET slight more uncomfy lah.. cos prof got to use catheter to reach deep inside... but it's not something u cannot tahan lah.. maybe the full bladder a bit more distracting.. hahaa
i had to use a bed pan after the ET.. cos really cannot hold ler.. nuh keep u lying slighted head tilted down for abt 2 hrs before u can leave.

rostrum
u must be 1st timer.. dun worry.. me can tell u what u wanna know.. hahaha..
yep.. we have to maintain a slightly full bladder for ET cos nurse will need to scan for ur womb using ultrasound.. those put gel on tummy and scan one.. so the full bladder will help them distinguish ur bladder from ur womb.something like that

hi ladies, is anyone feel emotional during 2ww like crying..
Hi baby.
Glad to find someone wif dr foong on this thread
Tks for your response. Qn: If medicated ET means taking progynova, then 'natural' means no medication at all?
I've not seen dr foong since the menses after the failed cycle. only communicated wif him via email. so i din know that FET can start 2AF later, that's why i said need his green light. He says to see him in three weeks time - i.e. after next AF - to plan next steps.
If you don't mind me asking - how many embryos do u hv left? i'm keeping my fingers crossed that the frozen embryos will thaw successfully but fm the experience of some ladies, seems like the chance of them not surviving the process is rather high...

Hi Lyn
Hopefully the wheatgrass helps to lower the FSH. No I wasn't successful under Dr Loh. I was a poor responder with severe endometriosis. After 3 rounds of fresh cycle with 600/700 units of puregon each time and a painful lap surgery all in the 7 months that I was in Singapore, I decided that IVF is not the route for me and came back to US. In fact at the end, of it all, Dr Loh finally suggested that the route for me to take was donor egg or adoption. I wasn't angry with him for giving up or being so direct with me. That's just his style and he had tried his best but its just that his magic hands are not enough sometimes.
Personally, if you are a pretty challenging case with multiple failures, its hard for the doctors in Singapore to do much cos' they don't have the expertise. All they have are standard protocols -short or long. In the US, when the women have gone through alot of failures, they turn to places like Sher or CCRM which are amazing infertility clinics as a last resort. Unfortunately, such clinics are so expensive and that was a main reason why i came to Singapore instead but too bad it wasn't meant to be. On the bright side, I got to see my family in Singapore after 2 years.
Well, good luck to all the brave ladies going through the IVF.

yup im glad too to find someone with dr foong as well here... im also at dr foong thread...saw u there too...
ya if im not wrong..medicated fet is taking progynova for dr foong... natural means no medicine...just need to monitor ovulation.. but its harder to control...cos we may not ovulate every mth..and may miss the o day.. so i think dr foong prefers medicated fet... but he told me there is no injections needed...
ya that time when i failed my ivf...he told me to go see him for review in 3 weeks time...but i did not.. cos my cycle went haywire after.. i waited for my 1st normal af to ends before i go see him...
i have 8 ems frozen... but only have one grade 1... two grade 1-2...the rest are not so good ones... ya i heard some with poor thawing... so im also worried.. dr foong says he will put in 3 for me this time... but he mentioned that his fet success rate is higher than his fresh cycle... so at least makes me feel more confident...
may i know what is your grade of your embryo for your fresh cycle? how old are you? im 30 this year... u with dr f for long time? dr f is my 1st gynea...i have done 4 iuis with him but all failed... and recently one fresh ivf... now going for fet soon....

Hi, kind ladies, may i know how soon into 2ww before u guys know it's a BFN or BFP?
My last ivf cycle, I knew it was BFN on the 6th day post ET because i had my AF. And before I had my AF, I had the usual pre sign of cramps and migraine.
Now my current cycle, I am 5 days into my 2ww and am experiencing the exact pre symptoms of AF(cramps, migraine). I am so holding on the thinest string of hope. and i can't sleep.

nctgrace,
from wat i gather from the gals here... kkivf is closed in dec for washing so they are not taking any ivf cases that month... even my fren who went to see dr loh last month has been scheduled for Jan... if ur gynae is dr loh he'll be the one doing the ER and ET... anyway once ur ivf journey starts, u'll not see him until ER and ET if there's nothing of concern during stage 1 and 2....
Gimme,
it's a fine line between pre-menstrual symptoms and pregnancy symptoms so as long as no heavy bleeding... there's still hope... hang in there...

hi ladies,
my 2nd fresh cycle has been cancelled today and as i suspected i am over supressed. Though i have expected the outcome but can't help feeling sad and have a breakdown in the hospital.
Though i haven't decided what to do next but i know i won't give up.
Vi4n & Shiny, waiting for ur baby dust. Jia you.
For the rest of ladies which has been supportive and encouraging during this period, thank you so much.
