Hi j03 n clb, I am the first patient tomorrow
happy.gif
I am also quite stress now. Last time cysts operation they cannot find my vein and poke the wrong area on the hand. That spot was swollen for few days. ET no sedation right. Not sure does that feel like pap smear test or not.

K both of you must be tired also. Rest well for tomorrow ET.
 


Joanne Tan,
Means cash ard 3-4k if with KKIVF?

Is this too sensitive a question to ask...
what's the success rate for IVF?

Too much short-form that i am guessing here.
ET, EW, ER, 2WW??
 
ttcx, cash should be less than 5k with KKIVF. Success rate will depend on age group. U can log on to KKIVF website and take a look. BTW, how old r u?

ET is Embyro Transfer
EW is Egg White
ER is Egg Retrival
2WW is 2 Weeks Wait

Hi melodi
Dun stress k..;) wht time is ur er tomorow?? Ya, when i remove polyp two mths ago, they try find my vein on left hand and the needle keep move here n there in my hand till so painful.. Then they take out and asks doc to poke my right hand so this time, i straight away tell the nurse to poke my right hand instead of go thru two pain again.. Hee...

Wonder hows serene scan today? Hope all go smooth for her..
 
X, so since u are so young, your chance of success should be higher, probably 40%.

Melodi. During my er, the nurse also can't find my vein at left hand so she changed to right hand for me....
 
hi melodi - no need to stress-la. u already did all the 'work' the last month, now let the doc and nurses (and DH!) do the work. wil be shun li.

hi X, you are still "young" by ivf standard

J03 - haha.. it's ok, let it all go. Normal to have balloon-belly. mine just subsided after about 1 week (and i am hoping it will come back for next 9 months!!). drink lots of water - i believe it helps to reduce the bloating but really alot of water 2-3 liters/day - basically i drink a glass of water, then i go to pee 15 min later... some sistas recommend ginger tea - slice young ginger, brew in hot water, add some honey. some "very very" light walking helps too.
 
Thanks Ladies for chatting with me.

I guess i have to think if 1 is enough for me...
All these ER,ET, 2ww can be very stressful also.

Good Luck to all of u!!!

So many of us are TTC. JIAYOU!!!
 
Moo, J03- good luck tomor.. we will all enter 2ww 2gether..buddy buddy

j03- i'm with tcm with clementi dr tan. He only did accup for me during the puregon stage,after ET, he usually wun do accup for patients, only prescribe an tai yao. For today,i have much discomfort, so wun do accup...aiiyo.. i seem to have constipation since yesterday, any sisters experience the same after ER?

melodi, you'll be fine, i'm quite timid one... even j03 saw i'm tensed up... so u can do it too..=)
 
Thanks clb, ron and other sisters who encourages me. At this stage, I think can do nothing much already. Just leave it to the doc and nurse.
happy.gif


Hope I can join you gals soon for the 2WW too

clb - can buy/take prune juice for constipation. nurse says apparently not good to "kek"
happy.gif


j03 - just a bit will do u can take abt 0.5-1cm ginger, if u like more ginger taste, can slice to thin slices.. brew with hot-water just like you would brew tea leaves for a few minutes. can add some honey. as w/ everything during IVF, take in moderation.

Good luck to your ETs tomorrow too!
 
Hi ron
Thk u.. May i know how much water n boil for how long? Big or small fire? Thk u for ur wishes..;)

Anybody take doc zou medi during 2ww? So ex ma? I pay $100 for it.. Did he calculate wrongly??
 
hi clb, jt, melodi, ron and j03
thank you and all the best for sistas whole are ER/ET tomorrow too..we are almost there...jiayou jiayou

ron and jt
what did you eat during your 2ww? when is your hcg bt?

j03 and clb
hope your embbies grow swee swee for you.

ron
what is the purpose for ginger tea?

j03
usually just add fresh ginger and boil with water, add a little of rock sugar or normal sugar for taste.
 
J03 - no need to boil. just put in a cup or tea pot, add hot water & cover is good enough. otherwise, taste like ginger juice

or if easier, can just and buy the tea bag type

Hi, I have Crinone 8% Progesterone vaginal gel, Serono. Expiry on 04 Oct 2012. Balance 26 sticks.
I was on it initially but switched to injection due to unsuitability. It has always been kept in my refrigerator. All sealed. I am willing to give it away for free. If you are interested, please drop me an email at [email protected] so we can arrange.
 
Serene- think is sat so they have to do it early in the morning.
Becos that time my er was at 12.30pm.
U k bring along th pad, I only wear a thicker panty liner, slight staining only.
Mild cramp & pain, don worry, maybe only took 11 follies, so not much impact ba.
But if u scare of pain kind, advise u to take 2 tabs panadol after yr meal. That is what I did, so I was quite comfortable. U k bring the panadol there.
 
Today suppose to take my D21 pill but hv to postpone cos hb hv to travel due month end as hb worry that I may hv side effect when he is not in town. Hv to call kkh to postpone....dnt knw why I cry when I knw I hv to start the pill today. Anyone hv the same feeling like me
 
good morning, ladies.

hi serene - there may be slight cramps but usually is like mild period cramp. first hour may feel abit of pain but u will still be resting. if pain, can try to lie on your side. you have 4 decent size follicles.
 
hi Truffle, i think you still qualify if you have 1 kid & u fit all other criteria.

you can check this out at the MOH website.

hi joycelyn,

the ivf journey is an emotional one as alot of uncertainty. Do take care of yourself & start the journey only when you & dh are ready physically & emotionally. The sistas here will be here to cheer you on
happy.gif

Morning ladies...

hi joycelyn, good to hear from you, as JT says, try to relax abt the ivf process
happy.gif


A few of us newbies are trying to find our way around ivf success, but there are also some senior sistas who graduated to mummies but still follow this site from time to time, and they provide alot of guidance & answers to our "silly" questions
happy.gif


We all just take it one day at a time. Glad u have DH supporting you on this. take care of yourself this weekend.
