Hi Joanne
I'm in 2WW with BT scheduled on this coming Sat, 3 days earlier than Vann and Weaky.

Dunno what 9dp3dt means but I did a HPT this morning, 11 days after ET cos I cld not stand the suspense. The result was a BFN. I still have 3 more days to pray for a miracle to happen...
 
J03
Yes scan suppose on friday, but since i am there tomorrow, so change to tomorrow instead of going down again on friday, what time are you going kk tomorrow? Can we take 4 x immunocal? Today gastric very badly, cant really eat it and feel vomit also, my womb is so painful these 2 days even walking...
 
Hi gals fr kkivf
I understand that we need to bring puregeon to kk n inject at kk but how abt lucrin? We shd take it at home right?
 
Rainbow
Thks for your info. Im with tfc. Today d11 scan lining only 7. Follicle size 10. Doc looking at 8 to 10mm lining and 18mm follicle. My menses range 29 to 31 days. m i behind?

So was yours successful?
 
Hi J03,

Yes I think we should take lucrin at home. But my lucrin is so little now. They did not ask me to buy another bottle last week. Actually when must we stop injectin lucrin? This friday would be day 26 of me injecting lucrin. 7 days for puregon not including friday. Friday I be going for the first scan. (nervous) :p

I am drinking red dates water these few days. Not much appetite with slight bloatedness only. Not much bloatedness was it because I have eaten 8 eggs whites and 1 packet of immunocal per day?

Is that ok?
 
Hi moomoo
I think is ok to take 4pkt but not sure whether it will help.. U snd terrible.. Must try rest early k.. Why u going care tomorow? Btw, u got take bt on tuesday scan? I dun hv any clear discharge yet but i think it means ur egg maybe growing big n may ovalute soon.. Think u will do ur er early next wk..;)
 
Hi sistas
How to difference between bloatness and discomfort of gastric? I am confused myself, thats why dare not to take gastric madicine, need your advice. Thanks!
 
Hi melodi
I still hv enough lucrin as had jab 20days of lucrin till date.. Think u hv to inform nurse on friday n purchase another lucrin.. It has to be inject till one or two day before ur er which is next wk..
Yes, ur red date n egg white dosage is ok.. I also very nervous tomorow..
 
J03 thanks

Good morning gals..;) scan done.. Now waiting for miss africa...

Hi clb

Fatefully -
AF - "aunt flow" = menses

Fet - frozen embryo transfer
Ohss - ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. You can google a lot of good articles on ohss on the internet by practitioners

it's good if you start to <bu> your body now, ie a few months before ivf if you have chance to do so. Eat right, start your proteins &amp; folic acid and cut down caffiene if you take if, and if you want to do TCM, good time to start seeing tcm now.

Weakydog/vann/piggy - babydust until your beta BT. Keep positive, nothing is over until the BT. I hope all of you get your bfp
 
Hi clamby - welcome!

Hi J03 - wow! You finished scan v early. What time did you arrive at kk? Did you see the scans or must wait for dr?

I am ok, not much bloating, but now must walk slowly like <lau-poh-poh> coz ovaries feel v heavy! ET shld be Sat but hoping we can make it to blast transfer. just need one baby to go all the way this round happy liao. 2 then bonus
happy.gif
am w private clinic so my ER at MtE - zzz for 2 hours.
 
Hi morning gals,

What is TCM? What can they help me to "bu" my body?

I dnt drink coffees but I drink teas. Is it consider caffeine too ?

Now I am preparing to make red dates drink to help me "warm" my body. Is it ok? But I am nt drinking everyday.
 
Good morning ladies

Ron
Wow 19 is a good quantity, what is your lining size during ER? Is it consider D4 transfer if ET on saturday? Can we choose either D3 / 4 / 5? Or must decide by dr? When can you know the fertilized result? Have a good rest and all the best for your coming ET.

J03
How is your scan?

hi ladies - embryologist called liao. We have 8 of 19 fertilised but she said a few probably abit slow. sigh - same problem as last time.

I just want to say for those doing ivf#1, please do not get alarmed by my fertilisation rate. Everyone couple's egg/sperm/age combi is different. Some sistas have very high fertilisation rate, so don't take our fertilisaton rate as normal, ok?

We are happy with the results, as same as first round. I was already worried this round won't get enough embryos. We are aiming the same # of eggs this round, but hoping for a BFP of course
happy.gif
Doc asked to continue the eggwhites... arggggh!!!!!

<jia-you> everyone.
 
Hi ron
8 is good enough as we only need one to bfp...if all protein supply from immunocal instead of eggs white? These 2 days went out from home super early, no time for eggs white + uncomfortable on gastric, hard to swollen so much of white also.
 
Hi Moo.

Did ivf#1 in Jan, got my bfn during CNY. We <cheong> &amp; decided to start IVF#2 after 1 menstrual cycle. 1st month after bfn signals all ok (af came on time, ovulation came on time, cycle back to 28 day and i felt ok, so we decided to go ahead).

But after we start everyone start to question why didn't wait few more months for body to recuperate: TCM lady eyes basically dropped out when she found out i only waited one month.. hahaa.. nurses also kinda sceptical, plus eggs didn't grow properly, so i tot this round gone case liao
happy.gif


Am 35 in April and have male factor issue. i tested ok for all the hormonal levels, but i guess age also plays a factor on the egg quality. yes, we only need one !
happy.gif


Are you all set for ER on Monday? any more scans in between?
 
yck, u still hv time for e follicles to grow, dun worry too much... U need to stay relaxed... ;) I bfp-ed on that natural fet. I only hv 3 precious frozen embies left... Dunno if I'll b lucky e nxt round... I hope so... Gd luck to u!! Hope everything will go smoothly for u!
happy.gif
 


Ron
Do you still have frozen embbies? Is this time a short or long protocol for you? You are very brave. We are almost same age and also male factor, dr said women from 35 and above, egg quality start dropping, thats why i am quite worry also, but there are many peoples gave birth around age 40, their child also smart like those who has young parents, i am now waiting to see dr and scan.
