Wendy, don't think too much of your symptom though you don't feel good about it.
When i did my first IVF cycle, i did have af like cramps and that time i too thought that it was all over for me. However, i got pregnant though it did not last after 7 weeks. So that might be a good sign ok... cheer up

think everyone has different symptoms hence hard to compare & confirm which is correct ...
That's why 2ww should occupy yrself ... if not yr imagination will run wild ... easy to say .. hard to do ...

Thanks jeinthiangel - but i doubt i got the energy to squeeze from IT fair to body shop there..
 
Ladies, it is recommended to avoid crowded places if you are going through stimulation jabs.. just in case catch any flu bug/virus. The drugs lowers our immunity. This was what my doc advised in my last cycle.
 
Ladies I need to check with you on those who have done ER before.. how is the procedure like?
and after ER how many days later was the ET?

How did you inform your boss? I just informed my boss that I going surgery soon and he keep asking what surgery.. and the date etc..

I can't guage the exact date.
 
Jeinthiangel,
Its best if you can share what you are doing with your boss. That way, if he/she is understanding, you dont hv to worry about work. If not, you can tell him its woman's problem, and you are waiting for the doc to confirm the date. You will inform him once its confirmed.
 
jeinthiangel,
usu ET occurs the 2nd day after ER day.
let ur boss noe its woman problem & waiting for doc to confirm date. jus in case ur boss not so pro-family...
 
jienthiangel,
i agreed with what Pandawife said. for me, i said it's woman's problem (fullstop). no more questions, ha. The only tough part for me was the long MC. Nasty colleagues of mine were very KPO why i was on MC. so i have to learn how to deal with them.
 
Oh okie yeah just i told him i having some uterine stuff so woman problem.

yeah I am wondering hw to deal the long MC... even if end up preggy aso not good to tell in early stage...

how did you all deal with it after coming back to work from your MC as well.
 
moon sky,

I dont have any symptoms during 2WW. I was so worried tt time. Coz I tot will feel bloated, sore boobs, etc. When I tested positive, I was so shocked but I did not have any BT only urine test.

During d 2WW, juz take it as you are pregnant. Don carry heavy stuff. Rest when you are tired. No raw/ spicy/ any food that might cause stomach upset. Try not to take cold/ cooling food. Some of ladies here said tt eating durians will help in implantation.
 
For me I only shared with my boss that I am going for ivf. The rest of the dept don't know. They were only told that I have woman's problem, hv to go for a surgery and away for 2 weeks of HL. When I return to work, of coz pple will be very curious what happened. I just brush them off by saying that I am fully recovered, thank you for the concern.
 
in fact for me, to deal with all these "why on MC, what happened" are added stress (on top what we are going thro). Most important, stay relax and stop thinking about work, and you will be fine. The only tricky part will be 'how many times can i take long MC due to women's prob in a year!', ha. I do have thoughts of stop working.
 
holidaygal,
same here, have also thought about stop working, partly due to stress at work and also becoz of the difficulty to explain long absences. I discussed with my doc and she says its good to continue working becoz it will keep my mind away from the ttc problems... which makes sense for me..coz if i m at home everyday, i will probably keep thinking and thinking of ivf and ttc problems.
 
Hi vivi ... not sure .. but have you googled ? gotten adv from doctors ??

Cos currently in spore sperm bank is dried up ... so I don't think donor eggs will have also ...
 
im currently in my 2ww of my 2nd round of ivf, and the quality of the eggs are still not v good... was thinking of going for other optionson donor eggs... anyone can help?
 
ET, no need to be complete bed rest. Will get backache if lie on bed for 2 weeks..hehe...
most important is relax, don't carry heavy things or walk too much. (again, easier said than done).. i tink i cried dunno how many times the last cycle during 2ww coz couldnt take the mental stress..esp during the last few days..which is probably very bad..
 
ya from the article i read, seems like Spore don't allow & if allow its thru patient's own resources ..

Think the doc hv to advise u where to get donor eggs from (likely overseas) ...

Cos the donor sperm recommendation (which website to go) was also provided by doc for my case la ... then hv to purchase ourselves...
 
JJ,

Oic, mayb will check with Dr loh if this cycle is not successfull and his opinions on donor eggs....

So u started on yr cycle already?
 
Hi Lady,

I didn't read your post yesterday, sorry.
I will be seeing Dr Loh next Fri. Hope to be able to go IVF. My first pregnancy I waited 7 years. Now age is catching up. I had been trying for many months post delivery but still no news yet. I think I am not fertile. cannot wait for another 7 years, too old already. Hope to have twins, so I can close shop.
 
Hi Fiona - KKIVF's price is set at 9 to 10K price will vary depending on the amt of injects u getting.

Then u can get a 6K (1st cycle) govt grant + use 3k medisave (1st cycle) ... so in total juz fork out 1K if total cost is 9K.
 
JJ,

whoa... it seems difficult to get donor egg...haiz
so u going for IUI first? sorie thought u trying for IVF... all the best to you!!!
 
Oops ... then my advise corrected to juju's posting ...

Sorry for the mis-comm...
But must note that govt grant applicable to govt hospital only (kkh, sgh, nuh)
 
i revise:
Based on 1st cycle & if total cost is 9K
6K (medisave)
3K (govt grant)
1K (own cash)

Whether can use both spouse's medisave hv to ask hospital ... cos I nvr read abt this before...

thanks juju for the correction.
 
JJ,
no probs.
only 1 person's medisave can be used. if touch wood go 2nd cycle, & wanna change medisave acct holder, gotta tell them to re-sign forms
 
For my so-iui at kkivf I was quoted 1.7K

Dr Loh advise don't use medisave / govt grant. save this for ivf instead .. cos wasted to use the govt grant on so-iui (considered cheaper then ivf).
 
Pandawife,
Like u say, i am also struggling with the thought of not working for quite a while oredi. my hubby encouraged me to keep working, it will be worse to not do anything but keep thinking of TTC. my plan for now is to save my annual leave so tat it comes handy during the long mc period.
 
Ya ... so-iui/ iui is like trying naturally ...
But I want to go for the simplest procedure 1st ... sort of a practise with the injections ...

cos ivf will hv many more injections .. Don't know if i mentally able to take it if I go straight into IVF....

Pls i will be using donor sperm (suppose to be gd quality) hence I hope 1st time able to strike already...
 
Hi ladies ,

can use both husband and wife medisave for the medisave part.

For me - 3k govt grant, 3k my own medisave 3K hubby medisave.. others all is cash abt 1-2k all is cash payment from day 1 testing etc etc./
 

can i go try normal clinic first, if cannot den maybe think for ivf.. cuz like that will be cheaper right? i have 1 girl already.. trying very hard for second one.. but no news..
