Sarah, I didn't do anything particular. I guess we know our body best. I dun take tea generally. All types. Because I hv lots of watery discharge after taking. I interpret that it is too cooling for me. I dun take dangui also as after my menses wun come after taking! So, too heaty for me. During cycling KKIVF nurse told me her patients swear by chicken essence to increase follicle count n quality. So I took daily. My body can take it coz it was not too heaty for me. Follicle count did increase but not the no of eggs retrieved. As for quality, I dunno coz no one analyses the mix of each embyro. They are graded based on appearance. If u go by grading then is no. Cox my embyros are all grade 3 this round except for one grade 4.
Dr loh keeps saying is luck. Some sisters may think he is just giving excuses. But I hv came across a number of sisters who succeeded here with poorer quality embyro. I dun wan to name the sisters here. But Gan who had just shared her experience attested to that.
The whole process of getting pregnant and proceed to a healthy live birth is something complicated & difficult to analyse for increased success. Just on getting pregnant itself, is already so complicated. Egg quality, womb lining, hormones level many more.
I can't help but believe in dr Loh that is really luck. Also fate. That makes us helpless right? But dr Loh told me this is life. I agree with him. Is nv smooth sailing. He shared with other stuff that we are helpless to during one of the consultation. He is a doctor, he sees lives n death everyday. But he is not god.
End of the day, we just do wat we can & hope for the best. At least when We look back next time we dun regret. During the process, the bonding b/w us and our spouse will increase. We didn't lose everything even if we dun succeed.
Alot of sisters here congratulated me in this forum, including long time sisters like Gan & just faith. Thanks for all your well wishes. I m not announcing yet except in this forum link. I didn't even go to MTb link where my sisters friends are though I know they will be happy for me. long time sisters will know that is too early to rejoice n the mths ahead is full of obstacles which I hv to clear. Just take one step at a time. Have faith!
