[shijiaxin]

hi it me again,

congrats to BBjourney and Cock

here to grab ur baby dust

By the way ladies, I got more questions hope u all dont mind guide me...

hi ladies

was reading other forums then got this question in my mind.

May I check How many follicles then consider normal or healthy?

And beside suprefact and gonalF, what else medicine u all take?

What is your gonalF dosage, as my is 225, my doc said my hormone is not high

anyway to increase it?

 

[bigbear12]

Anglexuan, All the best to your BT tomorrow...more good to come

 

[bbjourney]

Bigbear n Babysmurf n Shi Jia Xin n Mama Leen, thank you.

 

[mama_leen]

Jiaxin....I'm taking Puregon (150iu) and Menopur (75iu)...
abt the follicles, ii'm not too sure but I know that for eggs to mature, dr usually wait till the follicles are of 18mm at least...

 

[bigbear12]

ShiJiaxin, I think between 10 and15 of more or less the same size on day of ER is considered good no. I have been prescribed with Puregon previously. Your last quest I am not sure.

 

[luifei]

Hahaa.. BBjourney, maybe we have pump into each other but just that we didn't notice that. i am very happy that you are BFP! so happy...

 

[i1bb]

Angel, best of luck for yr BT tmr.

Hope, congrats on good results. Can start stim! Jia yo

 

[bbjourney]

hi hi

how come bbjourney and mama_leen have diff medicine.. hmmmm

i realise NUH only give 2 types of medicine to all IVF patient (I think).. for example my blood come back saying hormone low....to improve it doc just give me gonal f but increase the doasge

is this right?

Hope, i double boiled chicken essence, drink LRD tea, ginger tea for the first 4days after ET. i stopped all 3 when i developed the bad cough n high fever.

Thru'out the 2ww, i drank one bottled chicken essence and one fish essence everyday, eat 3 brazil nuts and 3 walnuts everyday, drink hot/warm/room temp water, no cold drinks (except the coke i drank 2 days ago ;p ), wear socks and slippers at home, talk to embbies,watch comedy dramas, try to bedrest as much as i can, walk like old granny, take conceive well gold, take 5-8 eggwhites per day (for my ohss) and 2-3packs of immunocal.

Diet wise, i had porridge, zhichar, bao, chicken rice, fish soup, fast food, fried bee hoon, fried rice, mee siam, western food, spagetti, soup from soupspoon, bread, biscuits, milo, milk. Some of the food were cook by my hubby or myself, some buy from outside.

 

[bbjourney]

Qing22, Booboolina n Faith, thank you.

 

[heartbeats]

BabyJourney congrats!!!

Thats a good number!

Hope you were at Dr Loh's too?

BabyJourney, Hope, what time were you gals there? I was there at 2pm too.

WY koo, Dr Loh say ok to use the patches. Can also use after BFP to maintain lining till its more stable and placenta stronger. I didnt ask for BT since its afternoon already, if do wont know results today. Still thinking whether i want do BT at KKH tomorrow.

 

[i1bb]

Heartbeats, y thinking whether u wanna do BT at kkh tmr or not leh? Tmr is yr BT apt? Go do lah

 

[marble]

hihi,

congrats to all who are successfully lately! *grab baby dust*

I've just started a fresh cycle. Failed my 1st one. Not a single embryo

today is D3. Am with Dr Sadhana at KKH. My puregon dose has gone up to 600iu this cycle..from 400iu.

can someone tell me what is egg white and immunocal for? when do i take and for how long? what else should i take? ensure milk?

 

[bbjourney]

Heartbeats, thank you. I was at TFC ard 930am and 12.30pm. I was at TMC ard 10am.

 

[koow]

Heartbeats, if you do bt at kkh tom, will u get the results the same day? If not, wait till mon, i guess

 

[Lambi]

Wah i just woke up and saw good news!!

babyJourney
CONGRATS LEH!!!!

Smooth sailing 9mths ahead!!

*Grab babydust*


Faith/All other gals in 2ww/pending BT
Seems like very many good news coming you gal's way too

hang in there, think positive!..your turn soon ok!


cockcock
Haha so cute neightbours! Im sure your parents will be thrilled!


Shi jia xin
I was just on Puregon 225iu on 1st cycle then changed to 200iu in 2nd fresh as i was slightly overstimulated on my 1st

But surprisingly, 2nd try yielded more good eggs and resulted in bfp. As for follicles, my doc told me once that not mean many is good, cos when comes ER time, the follicles might be empty with no eggs inside to retrieve! (that was what happened to me on my 1st..so many empty follicles

and no eggs enough/good enough to freeze) I suppose diff ppl diff, (factors are age/existing medical conditions etc) so doc gave diff medication to the best of his/her knowledge/experience that each person will react positively to it..don't stress on the medication yeah? Try to relax and go with the flow..see how your body responds to the prescribed doses..have some faith in your doc

Marble
Egg whites and immunocal as protein intakes..can lessen chances of OHSS (i took only egg whites only and worked for me..no OHSS) Trick to avoid OHSS is also to drink more water

 

[bbjourney]

Chrisl, thank you.
