U have to brew the medication urself after his prescription

For medisave, I'm not so sure up to how old. Maybe some sistas here can help to answer?
 
Thanks, Chrisl for your suggestion

Hi Ladies,

In stage 2,
do you encounter uncomfortable (slight pain)in tummy?
do you start to blurb?
am i normal? hee hee
 
Babyjourney, Lucrin usu jab for 14 days but if dr's Ivf scheule is v packed, KKIVF will drag the Lucrin injections. Coz no harm to that. My first cycle I jabbed for 21 days. The nurses will space out the ER session for the Ivf dr one.

I saw dr tan today since dr loh is away. He confirmed that he will cover dr once he leaves. I was patient No 4 today buy I waited 1.5 hrs to see him coz dr tan was biz covering dr loh for ER & ET. So, I can imagine how packed n biz he will be once dr loh leaves coz he will hv to run his tps n clinic d clinic in addition to his Ivf procedures n dr tan's own patients. So, wait n q will even be longer.
 
Hi Hazel, thanks for the info on the Lucrin duration. I was wondering abt that too.
Oh dear, i'm not looking forward to a long Lucrin stage though. The side effects are like menopausal symptoms right?
 
Luvnhope, not every one gets the side effects. Everyone is different. Lucrin stage I just feel tired. Gonal-f stage I also feel tired but no bloatedness. My bloatedness came only after ET. Just remember to take lots of fluid during Lucrin n gonal-f stage. The rest just relax n dun think so much. You may be the luckier ones that dun get any symptoms during injections!
 
Hazel,
I hope I don't get any bad side effects too! It's my first round so I really don't know how I'll react. But I think I usually already get tender sides near ovulation time. Can't imagine how it'll be like during stimulation period. Eeks... The lengths we go to to realise our dream...
 
Luvnhope, I hv pre menses symptoms mthly. But these symptoms did not Appear during Ivf process.. I thought like u last time before I embarked on Ivf! Hehe
 
Hazel, thanks for your reply. Strange the nurse no tell me abt the "extension" to 21 days. I did ask the nurse abt Dr Loh's departure, she said his patients wil be divided among the other doc. Or the pAtient can choose who she wans to go to.

Hows ur appt w Dr Tan? Can give ur comments? Is there any age limit for the usage of the medisave?
 
Babyjourney, is not the first time I saw dr tan. Whenever dr loh is away I will see him. He is a charming guy! Anyway, he is covering dr loh on ivf procedures this morning so he must be gd. If not dr loh wun let him do. As for medisave deduction for Ivf, dun think there is an age limit. But the govt grant will not be given once women hit 40yrs old.
 
I don't get any side effects too..just tired and feeling bloated during the few days before ER. But maybe hazel is right, everyone's response to the medication is different

Aloha, BabyJourney, Bbhopeful, Hazel, Hope_4_bb, Jocelyn, Marble, MC_007, Minnie*, Rainy, Berrybaby, Coolcool, you may update your status in the spreadsheet in the below weblink. We share our status there.

Fuyutsuki01, mine also delay but I guess this is depend on individual how your body react to the jabs.

BabyJourney, mine was put to 23 days. Maybe need to check your blood test whether you are ready for stage 2. If you are referring to the government grant for ivf, lady will need to have her 1st fresh cycle before 39 years old.

LuvNhope, I feel tired and abdominal bloatedness at stage 2. Everyone response to the jabs differently. Some don't get any side effects like you. Don't worry and react to the situation according. If you have any doubts, you can always call up KKIVF to check with the nurse.

Gals, any idea where to get Organic Royal Jelly?
 
JoynFaith, thanks for adding me in the list. I have updated my status there. Your ET is on 5th Oct? When is your BT? Did you try HPT? Good luck!
 
Fuyutsuki01, about a week and I was on Lucrin during the cycle.

Coolcool, tomorrow. Yes on Tue but was negative. Still wondering how to calculate DPO for Medicated FET. Still have soreness at breasts and a bit of bloatedness at abdominal. BBT is still as high but could be due to still having cyclogest insert. I don't have any more HPT at home and don't wish to test any more. Will just do the BT tomorrow to get the exact result.
 
BabyJourney, maybe I had thick lining on my first scan that yet to shed as menses and BT stated I was not ready for stage 2. I was asked to go down a week later and from BT result, I was able to proceed to stage 2. If yours is 14-16 days, you should feel happy since don't need to wait so long for ER and ET.
 
Hi Joyfaith

Try take capsules type or fresh type. At least not so much chemical is add to it. Organic royal jelly is very difficult to get.

Just my 2cents worth of comments.
 
Hopeful & Dollygal, thanks for the info on Ban Choon Chan TCM. For the 1st visit, will she ask to see any test result done? As I do not have all the test report.
 
For raspberry tea, i read that we should only drink till ovulation, similar to Primerose oil as it had some sort of contraction effect to Uterus.. not sure true or not..
 
ya.. EPO till ovulation.. after that need switch to Flaxseed till AF come..(hopefully she won't come lah...=p)..cannot take everyday de...that's what I read
 
Piglet and Chrisl, thanks for your advice. Any idea when to take Royal Jelly as in before menses /before ovulation? Or when to stop taking? And if for fresh cycle, when to stop taking?

mc_007, I take grinded flaxseed (1 tablespoon) everyday. Is it fine?
 
Hi Joyfaith

I also just started take royal jelly.
Got the following from babydustshop: It's help to balance our hormones. When hormones are balanced, that will indirectly help you to ovulate better. Royal jelly also helps to improve egg’s health. For ladies who plan to embark on IVF, it is ideal to take royal jelly 2-3 months before your IVF to improve your eggs’ quality. Royal jelly helps to slow down aging and boost immune system.
 
Hi whitetiger

Those capsules and fresh royal jelly is super x. I waiting for my friend to get from KL fresh royal jelly made is NZ.

In the meanwhile, I taking nature's essence soft gels type with 10-HDA from unity pharmacy. Currently got promo, is the cheap I can get..
 
Hi ladies

Currently unit pharmacy got promo for almost all these types of minerals or vitamins like conceive well, royal jelly. Even no promo, the conceive well single pack is abt $37. Cheaper than guardian pharmacy or watson selling at abt $45. 

Trying to save some $ for my next cycle.

Babyme, i hv received the rasphberry tea leaf. Smells good to me. Maybe i will hv a small cup later. Hehehehe....
 
Chrisl

I also 1st time taking RJ. Can feel a different. Sleeping very early and ease my poo. Do you have these symptoms?

Btwn actually is my male friend recommend RJ to me. To take capsules or fresh one is more easily absorb by our body.
 
My hmmm dunno what to call her, maybe LS. She told me she saw twins for her customer.. She ask the lady to go for
doc scan and I will wait to see if it's true.... So exciting......Lol..

Btw when is dr Loh returning? My menses like not coming, I guess I need to email him for medication to induce menses. Do I need to see him for this? Or he can prescribe m I just go n pick up the medicine. Don't wish to see cos sure hard to get apptm n or long hrs..
 
Chris : omega 3 is good. My hubby says he feel more engerized n not easily breathless when jogging. I think it reduces cholesterol too.

Omg Im on the bus sitting next to an old man who is reeking of alcohol. Makes me giddy...
 

Ching, yes for tomorrow. Suddenly I recall someone ever told me before that if you are first time taking Royal Jelly, eat the minimum amount first since is your first time taking. This will help your body to adapt to it. I guess Dec means Lao Si for LS.

Piglet02, is it due to tiredness after taking RJ or work that you need to sleep early? You can also buy folic acid from NTUC Unity but recently the price has gone up from $2.50 to $3.15 for 100 tablets. It's a big increase.

Baby, did Dr Zou say why cannot take any tea for the time being? Is it because of the caffeine or cooling not good for blood flow and coldness at womb respectively?

Dec, is the method you are going through Reiki?
