Sunnie Gal, dont worry, i think our doctors know best. KK has been using utrogestran for years so it must be ok. Maybe its the dosage that must change once pregnant or something which otherwise is ok to use.

Hi Linda, my boy's 2yrs, 27 mths to be exact. I resisted carrying him for the last 2 wks, I feel so bad... Luckily he's really close to daddy... I told him to stroke my bloated tummy too, he likes it!
Earlier during the jabbing at home, he'd help me with tissue, clean my blood fr e jabs, gets worried when he sees the blood and screams for daddy to help!! Daddy's so afraid of blood, daddy has never seen me jab! My little boy has grown up... Very sweet... I wish I'd be able to tell him there's a bb in the tummy!
He's been asking for me to carry but I told him let's do sth 'new' & he'll forget all abt asking to be carried.. Yah, it's for him tt hubby & I r working so hard for a little. I hope gd news will come soon!

Jane- All the best.
Girls: This is wat i did during my 2ww.
* Complete bedrest for 3 days, jst woke up for food and loo.
* Drank around 3 ltrs of water per day. 2 to 4 servings of fruits. eating dal, two veg &rice for lunch and two dal,veg& roti for dinner and pulses(dal). Iam a vegetarian, so i had to tk dal for protien. Was taking greens (spinach) during lunch.
* Was taking brazil nuts, peacans and walnuts throughout the 2ww. Ard 2 of each.
* Took chicken essences. One bottle in the first week and another in the 2nd week.
* Took Cereal and milk for breakfast, sometimes took milk in the night before sleep also.
* Took medicines on time. And rested as much as possible.
* Be on positive thoughts, i know its bit difficult as worry keeps comg, but still try to overcome as much as possible, i ws remindg myself that as long as af does'nt come, i still got chances. if this helps u to stay positive, u can do it.
* Did hpt from day 9, jst with an attitude that if i can see postv soon, i can stay relaxed until bt. however i ws not able to see postv until day 13. so for this few days, i sometimes used to become sad. So jst mk sure, u make up an attitude if u wnt to do hpt.
* Staying stress free is very important, always talk to people who can motivate you and give u confidence. If something or someone is going to upset u, jst avoid them immedtly.
*Last but not least, as soon as you bfp, u take equal care as in 2ww. This might help in hvg a healthy pregnancy.

All the best for fri!

Hi there,
I just failed my 1st ivf cycle with KKH...in the process, i discovered i have many other problems i wasn't aware...
- rt ovary not working. not sure when it shut down but suspected it was damaged when i did a lapro to remove endo cysts 6 yrs ago.
- fallopian tubes loculated...meaning probably a lot of adhesions around the fallopian tubes, that y so hard to conceive naturally.
- add to above 2, i have egg factor problem. IVF cycle with 400iu puregon, only 6 embryos picked up from left ovary. 3 matured, 3 not. Not a single one fertilised...sigh..(happy went for ET but got told no ET will be done
)
- Dr suggested endo may be back. Gave option to try another cycle after 3 mths rest, or go for another lapro to clear inside up.
Am planning to get a TCM to boost egg quality while I wait it out and consider next steps...any recommendation for TCM good with treating poor egg quality associated with Endometriosis?

Hi Marble, sorry to hear that but hey this is just the begining and with the preparation work to boost yourself up, the next journey will be a successful one! I personally think that TCM can help thicken the womb lining and improving egg quality especially acupuncture for it also relaxes you. I have done my regime with EYS at Paragon with Dr Zhong. A lot of sisters her also consult Dr Zhou @ AMK. My sis in law has severe endo but she ended up with 2 beautiful kids thru IVF and her embryos were not very good grade but she succeeded too. She advised me to do acupuncture. Hope this will help...
siblinghopes, your son is soooo sweet!!! Warms my heart
My hubby is very afraid of injections too but I made him help me with the preparation and cleaning up after injection. He must know the pain we girls go through! hehe..
Marble - You may want to try Dr Zou or Dr Xia. Both of them are from the same clinic. Dr Xia was featured on Channel 8 infertility show last week. She is from Eu Yan Sang but goes to Dr Zou's clinic once a month. I was recommended to her by my mum's friend whose daughter did manage to conceive naturally after taking medication.
Any girls has Dr Zou's contact? My medicine pack is at home.. Don't have her contact and address now.

Hi ladies, great to know that I'm not the only one working hard for sibling... Was reluctant to mention coz I was worried tt sistas may think that I'm greedy, asking for 2 kids...
Let's all work hard & rest well this period!

Hi JoynFaith,

Can I check, is resting 3 mths the norm between fresh cycles?

Hi all, me too failed my first fresh ivf. AF reported this morning when my BT is next Monday. Just called kkivf, was told to go down for BT tmr. I have only 2 frozen embryos, not sure whether they will survive the thaw for FET or not. Enigmaysl, how many frozen u have?
Marble, there's another TCM at Ying Chuan Chinese Medical Hall at Blk 202, Jurong East St.21, #01-111 Singapore 600202. Tel: 6897 5655. Ms Dr Huang does not do acupuncture except TCM Medicine in small black balls form. But her clinic need to get queue no. as early as 5am and later wait to see her from 7am onwards.
It's advisable to rest 3 months before starting another fresh cycle to let your ovary regain back to its normal menses cycle period. And also getting rid of the previous fresh cycle medication in the body. And also to let your body strengthen as well.
You will find your body a bit weak now so better to strengthen your body now before starting anything.
Enigmaysl and Vyvy, sorry about the news. Make an appointment with your Dr and discuss further.

Vyvy, I am sure they will survive the thawing as these days the technology is as such that they have better comdition to succeed. My gf tried blasro transfer for fresh and failed but did FET and got a son. I have 6 more frozen blasto and I hope they will survive the thaw well.... Meanwhile, have a good cry if u need to and we will pick ourself up again! It was not an easy process and I dread the idea of going thru another fresh but let's pray we'll do well for our FET.... hugs....

Marble, sorry to know that ur 1st IVF cycle didn't go smoothly for u. Hopefully, since they can identify problems, u can then solve them before trying again the next round. A fren of mine got triplets after endo and 2nd ivf.
Enigma & VyVy,
Sorry to hear about the early end to ur 2ww. Cry and be strong again. You have gained precious experience for your next attempt. Jia You!
