hi ladies, my colleague recommend me go see Dr Tan @ JE 3yrs back but we find her diagnoise to all female patients are the same. Even though we have all the fertility scan/tests result, she still want us go Gleneagles re-do. Then we heard that Dr Chris Chen is actually Dr Tan's DH. Anyway, we stop seeing her because she told us tat if after 3mths with her no result then dun need waste time see her liao.. I find this remark very rude!
 


Sticky: Mine is at Raffles Hospital. Today is my first scan after 5 days of jabs.. Hope is growing well cause i have not been taking egg white nor immunocal daily.. i only got to know that yesterday evening

hi piggy,

Piggy,
Your body is prob just adjusting well to the drugs. Don't worry. Most symptoms, if any, hit on the last few days. My bloat was the worst only after ET. Some do start taking 2-3 brazil nuts now so if u wish to u can too. But it's more impt aft ET for implantation.

U can numb the area with an ice cube first before jabbing. Even can place the alcohol wipes in the fridge too. These can help relief pain when jabbing.
 
Piggy,
i'm with raffles hospital too. i didn't take immunocal or brazil nuts or do accupunture. only the folic acid prescribed by dr. i did take egg whites after ER cos i was getting very bloated and dr told me to up my protein intake. i'm now 8mths preggy.
just relax, stress is no good too.
 
Syrah

Thanks for the info.. Will need to start my shopping later on for all these stuff and will remember to place the alcohol wipes at the freezer section to make it even cooler

For Sistas in care doing FET, do u utilize medisave or pay cash?

Thx for ure advises.. Keke

Jok..
I hv no concrete plans yet...review with dr Loh mid Jan for d failed cycle.
Actually does Gynae scan womb after failure??
 
ceraine..
aiyo better be careful.. they no good ppl.
I'm w KK Dr Loh too... he got order scan for you? for me cos I BFP but MC at wk5 so Dr request for scan cos he say womb must be clean b4 the next cycle.
tat day confirm w dr to do FET in Feb.2011 so went back to KKIVF ctr and the nurse told us tat the cost will be abt $1600-$1800 and she advise not to use CPF cos CPF only allows 3 times and each time $5k (consider used even not even $2k for medical). Heard a sister here say pte cost abt $4-5k...
was told of procedure and given medicine for FET (abt $65) so far.. other than this was not advise or given any medicine to prepare for FET...heehee so got to seek advise from all sisters here lor...
 
ceraine, i juz came back from office gym... heh... i'm not with kkh so dunno the costs ya... i dunno whether medicated or not... i must see my gynae this week first...
 
Hi dearies, I'm new here and kind of lost with the abbriviations. What is bfp? =)

Will be doing my ER and ET this week. Can someone offer some tips during the 2WW to increase chances of implantation and pregnancy?
 
happybb: Just back from the checkup.. hmmm seems okay doctor didnt say much.. 2 follicles at size 12 and 4 to 5 are at 10 plus and the rest doesn't seem growing.. she also say she worries that i grow too many follicles then will affect my ET.. maybe i will need to ER this round and wait for next cycle then can do ET same as one of the girls here...
 
<font color="119911">Dear sistas,
sorry for missing from forum for so long. need to take time off to heal the broken heart, the stressful uterus and ovaries. Sorry to let sistas here worried for me..... I guess I'm not that strong after all. Lucky I have a strong hubby who stood there firm like a pillar to let me fall back on.

I will move on. Over the days, I reflected what could have gone wrong, well, even doctors can't tell what went wrong, so I just have to make guesses lor.

My New Year resoultion will be to lose some weight and stay healthy. Seek a 2nd opinion and was told that, looking through my records, I should have bfp. One possible reason could be my BMI. Unhealthy cholestrol and fats hinder the chance of getting pregnant as they more or less affects the hormones and also prevents blood circulation. However, close monitoring will still be needed if I start to cycle again, be it fresh or frozen.

Subconsciously I know that my blood circulation not that great, tcm say I 'qi xu' but since gynae never pinpoint out, I just close me eyes lor.

A healthy diet and losing weight will improve my chance of conceiving. Even my hubby say he will support me by making sure I get healthy breakfast and dinner. Cos lunch I'm on my own le.

Hope 2011 will be a better year for me, and to ladies who fell but picking up again. Jiayou Jiayou!</font>
 
Hi all, just had my ET this morning, am now in my 2ww.

hi piggy,
nice eggs... =) i dun think will ohss lorz... sounds like growing well prob can do et this cycle... next cycle must freeze then thaw then quality affected again... but got time to make decision... =)
 


Miracle, stay strong! My GP oftens says I am overweight also and prescribed me metformin. I have been eating for a couple of months and did lose about couple of kgs.
Perhaps you can check with the dr to see if they will recommend that. I am also trying to keep a heathy diet but very hard ah coz I love food. What i would recommend is try to eat more wholemeal stuffs. Dinner cut back on carbo. I try to jog at times but also very seldom.
Year 2011 will definitely be a better year for all. Take care now.
