IVF/ICSI Support Group

ladies: just had a call from Angela, she mentioned actually there were 7 eggs retrieved out of 9 follicles and out of which 4 fertilised. Before she released the results she asked abt my well being and I was so frightened she is going to say none fertilised...hahaha see i am pretty good at scaring myself.

she made a comment that maybe i can go for ET tomorrow.

mel: not stylo lah...just that i am picky with what i eat so breakfast is the only meal i pack with nutrients lo..hehe
 


suyana,
hot flushes during lucrin is one of the side effects. the purpose of suppression is to bring all yr hormone levels down, so in fact u are like going into menopause and hot flushes during menopause is normal.

it's a good sign u're reacting well to the lucrin!
 
I bought my COQ10 from GNC. Bottle label says it's for cardiovascular. It's upon reading from here that the CARE ladies take it and I read from a few websites that COQ10 is gd to take during IVF that I started buying and taking it too.
 
suyana/pink: i think feeling warmer is normal.

nm: great news! Angela is nice huh? Are you happy with the results? Wont be none fertilized one! U gg for ET tmr? Aiyo I have so many qns huh?
I am excited for you!
 
pink, suyana - higher body temp is a good sign.. for woman, low body temp is a very rough indication of 'not that great'..

nm - good good!! hmm,, you will be going for ET, confirmed? mabbe i can see you there?? haha.. am going for BT tomorrow.. if there, remember to holler at me..
 
pink/mel: not sure if its tomorrow cos angela will call back to confirm.

i am def pleased with the results..

initially with 9 follicles, the chances of having mature eggs are limited but they manage to retrieve 7 out 9 which is very good in my opinion.

and with 4 fertilised ...thats a milestone for me... hahah but then if transfer 3 ...freeze 1? so odd right?
 
wow nm....et tomorrow! all the best
happy.gif


can i ask if i should be taking all these vit and drinking ensure now bef embarking on my ivf? it seems that i am lacking in vits compared to the sistas here....i don take any vits nor drink milk.... i jus started to take folic acid and the obimin vitamin since last week aft my menses came
sad.gif
 
i started drinking ensure many years back then i stopped cos i felt i gained wt ard the waist and hips...but recently i realised i am getting not so young so better up my vits/mineral intake... so the easiest way for me was to drink ensure milk ..
happy.gif


i usually eat wholemeal stuff to increase fibre...i hardly eat meat ..if i do its chicken or beef most of the time.
 
thanks nm...will ask angela tomorrow then.

obimin is a tablet form of vitamin- an all in one vitamin that is meant to be taken one a day..supposed to be for pre and post natal
 
ya mel going over at 4pm...u be there at wat time?

nm: ya but looks like everyone else here eating more than me
happy.gif
think i will ask angela more details tomorrow.
 
hoping - obimin is a good woman's multivits.. but i think if you are embarking on IVF, you will need to take a bit more of those ivf-related vits.. e.g. high selerium, high folic blah blah.. anyway, i will be there early early.. before 9 and before my boys fuss my mum crazy..
happy.gif
i sent my maid back.. so now, my mum is taking care of two active ones by herself.. tiring!!
 
Lubna,

2 egg whites is not alot. I dun have lucrin stage. During my stimulation days, i have up to 10 egg whites per day. Somemore buy those expensive eggs. Like $3 to $4 a tray kind. Cause I was super-bloated. Like 2 months preggy then. LOL.

Gan,

Power Nasi Lemak is at Blk 21x Boon Lay Drive. It's at a hawker centre. Only open from 8pm to 2am. I am so addicted to spicy food now this week.

BTW, i feel very emotional leh.. feel like crying anytime. Just now, I asked my DH whether he wants to see me cry.. before I reply him, my tears are already rolling down. I seemed to be crying for no reasons. Cant control my hormones.

My nx visit to Dr Loh is 8th June. I last saw him on 18th May leh.. I tried to change from Clinic D to TPS, but was given later appt date. So when I see him on 8th June, I will change to TPS. Clinic D is too crowded.
 
Syrah,
I'm a first timer with TFC and i don't think i'm on the long protocol. Doc started me on one month birth control pills. Then from the 2nd day of my cycle, starting injecting Gonal F to stimulate ovulation, and later inject Cetrotide to stop the eggs from ripening. I believe different doctors have different methods.

Mel, i know!!!! I really used to attack eggs whenever i see them. But i really have a phobia for them now. Hope the phobia will go away soon! Haha
 
Pink,
I got my packet Ensure milk from Guardian / Cold Storage. I got the packet type because this particular line is high in protein. Couldn't find the powder type.

Anyone else knows which type is better?
 
Hi Mel, I did my 1st (fresh cycle) and 2nd(fet) at care in 2008-2009.Had a miscarriage in 2006 at 6mths and since then was unsuccessful. Decided to switch to dr loh upon reading good reviews abt him. 1st ivf failed due to lining,2nd was unsure. This 3rd gotta ask doc when meet him in 2 weekss. At care they said everything was ok buy prob embbies not sticking. The one tt I did at kkivf, produced quite a lot and still have 9 frozen. No problem producing eggs, problem is the sticking I think.
Was thinking of doing fet eoy, need to rest the body first. Was thinking of acu. Doing massages also so tot by dec body should be in tune. Read here EYS not bad.... Hmm
any suggestions for body preparation...

Baby79, Gan, Pandawife - do you remember when you had your first scan? how many weeks and days were you? and could you see bb's heartbeat already? My scan is this Sat (at 6 wks 2 days). Really nervous and excited at the same time. I pray everything is ok!
 
nm: Indeed its gd milestones! keep it up!

Lychee: I just bought a tin of one litre of ensure... but I never like full cream milk as I am afraid of putting on weight...O no... i wonder if I would get fat drinking the milk :x

I have got my period earlier. Angela calculated it might be on 5th...is it ok? I wonder if this would affect any blood tests etc...
 
pink: you can call her and let her know that yr period is earlier. see what she says. For me it came on the dot as her prediction.

ensure milk is quite filling so for me its a snack substitute or in replacement of breakfast. if so wont gain alot of unnecessary wt
happy.gif
 
hoping: I think the ladies here generally take some vitamins like Folic acid, CoQ10 and general vitamins.
Nowadays I am so busy eating all these things I have to write them down.
Just to share: Morning breakfast:
One egg white, slice of bread, cuppa milk, one Omega, 2 CoQ10, Folic acid and alternate chicken essence. I used to eat whatever I want...but now everything feels so regulated...dunnno gd or bad
 
Ensure got those ready mixed tin-can type ... but i lazy to open the tin can ... so i bought the big can one ...

How come they don't want to do 1 small pckt like anlene type ... so much easier
 
nm - good luck!! mabbe i get to see you there!! so excited for you!!

aiko - my heart goes out to you... yah, thinking positive is winning half the big battle.. in your next fet, do take more selerium.. supposed to help in implantation... when will you be trying again?

karen - transfered liao lor..
happy.gif
but thanks for the wishes anyway...
happy.gif
i eagerly lap up any good will that comes my way.. hahah...

balroggal - heh.. no maple for me.. i thought you'll be a hardcore gamer.. with a name like balrog.. haha.. that's like an orge in many of my funny games..
happy.gif
other than the JRR Tolkien's books.. hmm.. a fan of JRR Tolkien? pls rest well... your body is very impt now.. any pain.. run to kkh... kiasu/kiasi, never mind.. better safe than sorry..

workingwife - you should be able to see the heartbeat ... cross fingers for you.. so excited for you!!
 
mel, does doing FET involve any medication and stimulation?

ladies: Do you know else I can get nuts from those nut bars other than Parkway? Thanks!
 
nm..lotsa babies dust tmr! good luck!

working wife..i did scan at exactly 6 weeks...go w full bladder..can see the babies better 4 tummy scan...
 
pink - stimulation, no.. medication, yes.. the normal lor.. progynova and suprefact... stop suprefact at ET, then, loads and loads of estrogen(progynova) and progesterone (crinone and utro)...

for the nuts, you should be able to get in the organic sections of most supermarkets.. preferably cold storage..
 
jj i think ensure got packet form, like anlene, saw it at kk pharmacy coz i bot 1 packet and bring to office to drink, cost $2 plus, find it abit ex so just bot once. Other times drink the powder form.

Working wife, 6w2d shld be fine to see bb heartbeat. I did et on 20 apr, scan on 21 may. I think that time nurse put on form i am 6w3d then. During that scan can see bb heartbeat and my precious was already 6mm.

Just faith tps i think dr loh only there on wed and fri. I choose sat appt this time so that hubby can go too, so has to be at clinic d but do agree clinic d very crowded!!
