Don't worry too much. I use to be a patient with anxiety and depression and was seeing psy. I stopped all medicine prior to IVF & Psy was also worried.
I just completed Lucrin and Puregon and here is what I feel.
Lucrin: Headache, Migraine 2x, Feel Hot, Vomited 2X, Insomnia, tired easily
Puregon: Similar to above & quick tempered, increase in heartbeat
I felt it was better than expected. Took Immunucal and Exativa

I agree with Joanne. I think our system is different so we may not have the exact side effects. I will still say it not bad as what my psy was telling me. He was so worried that I might not be able to cope without the medicine.
Joanne: I am more worried of the pain during ER. I am a patient where Dr Loh don't even want to do pap smear for me cause I am so afraid of pain.
Did u feel anything. Heard it is just sedation not Anesthesia.

76- all the best for yr ER tomorrow
yes, me from Gleneagles...coz in my clinic, also got 1 filipino lady..hahhaha, so tot u are referring to her. So, when is ur BT? Mine is 28 Apr...scared..but hor, this time quite different, scarly after tmr, i got no eggs to fertilise..how many u expected to have? Me only 3 nia..
76: KKIVF will only brief you on the next time after each process so I am not sure when is my BT. ET on Fri. How abt yours?
Haha I am very forgetful. I lost my 2 scan results now found my 1st scan.
Here is what I see on my 1st scan on D7 after Puregon.
R: 14.5,10,9,9,11,8
L11,7,7,8,13.5,11.5,10
If I did not recall wrongly, I have 2 extra egg on Left at D9.
Aside to all Sista's. Is my egg size ok.
76: Me a bit blur so is it 15 eggs but accd to KKIVF not all will be able to use; some may damage etc.
Pardon me 76, so how are you going about tomorrow ER without Eggs. This is my 1st IVF so am really ignorant

76: That is very good size right.Heard from the nurses 16MM & abv ok liao. So you got eggs to fertilise. Why u so no leh?
Good Luck to us tomorrow. I believe your fighters will be there for you.
Is it very X to go through IVF at Glen?
KK not so many round of scan, I only did twice. 2nd round on D9 & the biggest egg size was 16.5. No idea about no which is D12

oh, so you are one of the 8 mummies doing ivf at TFC
Itjabi
baby dust to you... i hv not frozen embies. So it will be my 2nd fresh cycle

glad to see you here too. I hv called both KKIVF and TFC. Apparently, I hv to see a fertility Doc at KK first for evaluation before I could book a slot to join the IVF queue which is in Jul. I managed to get an appt with Dr Loh on 20 Apr, unlikely to go now
Last week, I called TFC and the nurse told me that the lab is still closed (will be closed for another 2-3 months) but Dr Cheng has been certified to do ER and ET at Mount E... the embyologist team will be from Mount E, cost will be higher. According to the nurse, the TFC IVF team left two familiar faces, the nurse herself and Dr Cheng. So, I guess Dr Chia and her team have resigned. btw, TFC completed its upgrading works last Dec and the IVF team size has also increased. (plus points) I am likely gg back to Dr Cheng as I dun hv to go thru any BT. I just need to call on day1 of menses in Jun for a appt in day2 or 3 of menses to start the marvelon pills. The ER,ET will then be in Jul... are u back in SIN?
Tintedsky, 7th fresh cycle... wah peifu!!!

Lamby- dun think too much. It's a simple procedure, u ll be knocked out for a while. So wun feel pain, after discharged then feel crampy when med wear off. Juz take panadol. I've low pain threshold too. Jy!. Ur eggs on d7 looks good size.
J03- me jus feel crampy on off, as if af coming. But u more crampy is good, read means uterus is expanding ?
Melodi , ren. Jy one last Jab to go.
Yck- hugs. U r right, when u r relaxed, u might juz strike when u least expect it

All the best to girls cycling these few weeks!

J03, thanks.. Felt abit disheartened with the recent crappy news.. Reali need to keep my emotions in check.. All sisters here, let's jiayou together..
Clb & Joanne: Thanks for the support and courage. I will update all sista's once done...I should be able to tolerate cramp bah...
76: Wow! That's not cheap. How about scan's etc are they seperate cost again. My friend works at Parkway she says she has seen bill for IVF amounting to 23K. Here at KK for Private Patient, Cost per cycle is between 8K to 11K. In the table it stat's: IVF Procedure $4.1K and Med & Drug is $2.1K to 5K, Surgeon Fee: $215 to $500. Summing up it looks like ER and ER will be $4.6K. Puregon & Lucrin so far I think they have billed $2plus K
Don't worry too much, your fighters will survive.
Keep our fingers cross. Gee! After knowing more & more this process isn't easy.

Hi J03
we are exactly at the same boat, hope 3 of us can be promoted. Mine is a FET so simpler process compare to fresh. I read abt implantation spot but i feel more it's the pre-menses signal, maybe my body too stress so unable to flow out. it's nightmare for me as the fear of seeing red is very high. U have strike before in IUI so yr chances are also very high, just keep encouraging yr embbies, I wished u soon have another sibling for yr son & can close shop
I still no guts to buy HPT yet..so if i really buy i will test soon. now praying is hoping don't see red.
JT, sun, Yck, failure is tough esp in this journey cos u have tried yr best & yet still depend on God gift, i hope u will master up your courage & try again for the sake of your loved ones. Have a gd rest & treat yrself better
to the rest embarking the journey, may u have all the luck u need for the entire yr to conceive a healthy bb..

j03- u r always the one more optimistic than the rest of us, cheer up.distract urself with work. Actually me at home also not much better, can't concentrate on doing anything much,cant watch tv drama or read book properly, keep thinking of the inevitable. also scared af come soon...
Actually to me 36.92 is high.. what is ur normal BBT pre-ovulation?
Goh- u r working during 2ww too?
Leith-Immunocal (can buy fr OG) and egg white (take sof boil/half boil/raw, if fully cooked, some of the protein is lost) are to be taken during puregon (stimulation stage)...they contain high protein to aid eggs growth. u can start start taking a bit during lucrin stage.. gradually up to 2-4 packs immunocal and 6-10 egg whites during puregon stage. the qty to consume is up to u to judge, depending on whether ur eggs are growing fine or not during scan..also prevent OHSS and relieve bloatedness during puregon stage.
