Dear Faith,
CONGRATS!!! When is your next scan and which gynae you going?

Dear i1BB,
Jiayou and keep trying cos success is there, though the journey might be longer for some, but I am sure you will have the strength to walk thru this journey with all of us with you all the way!!!

Dear newly-BFP Sisters,
It is very normal to still be very worried. I myself also went for BT 4 times and tested on the cheapo HPT strips till 20 over days despite positive BT since day 14 dpo.

I panick and went earlier for scan and Dr Loh was not hopeful cos cant see anything clearly. So I panicked even more for the next 2 weeks, till I saw heartbeat for the first time and im still panicking till now, cos of my adenomyosis. Tmr is my scan at 18 weeks and I am so worried baby is in the same position as when I saw at 16 weeks, which totally indicates no space inside.

Till now, when colleagues ask me questions like how many months? When are you due? How is baby? I give very short answers cos honestly, deep down, am very worried. Having said that, must still stay positive la. Cos as what everyone says, baby can feel our vibes. I will try to not think abt it and just look forward to next scan and count down everytime, Just hold baby's previous scan photo and smile and try to stay happy.

You all also must try hard hard k!!!

Me back from a short trip, feeling so much better and cant wait to start another cycle.
Appt with DR Tan on Tues and he just recommended to do fresh again. The earliest date available is in July! But told the nurse that my DH gog away for long biz trip in the 2nd half of the year and beg for an earlier date.
So lucky that the nurse called me later in that afternoon that I can start this month... Heng Heng, think someone gave up the slot.

gog to start eating healthily, eat conceive well, folic acid, egg whites and everything else starting from next week.

[joynfaith]

Chrisl, you will heal with the time so no worries. Keep a positive mindset and move on.

I only had the pulling feel after I went through homeopathy treatment few years back.

I felt my throat has weaken. Since CNY period, I started to have cough, thereafter I will have dry cough whenever I eat acidic, chili hot or when the cold wind blow on my throat. Then come the flu last weekend. Hope the phlegm can go off faster. Wednesday night, I'd many disturbed sleep because of the cough. Sigh... phlegm phlegm go away...

Rainy, I've sent you the information, please check.

 

[faith14]

Hi Faith chen, congrats on your BFP! I hope to get some babydust from you too. Is this your 1st fet after ur 1st pregnancy? Wow, u r very lucky, put in 1 embryo and strike! I am doing my 1st fet in apr and very anxious how many embryos shld I put in. I know doc will suggest but I thought better to think abt it now. Oh, may I also know the dr in KKH who did ur fet? Rest well now and take good care.

 

[luifei]

Good morning sisters!

 

[bbjourney]

Good morning sisters.

Good morning Hope. good luck for ur scan later.

Luv, all the best for your BT today.

 

[mama_leen]

Thank u all

can only hope for the best in the next steps to come....

Wanna ask...since after ER yesterday, whenever I pee, there's slight pain at the end of the pee. Is this normal or shld I be worried?

 

[luvnhope]

Thanks bbjourney! But I not very hopeful leh.. Did hpt this morning was neg. Not sure if it's cos not first urine since I did clear bladder at 4am after being woken up by the rain. Sigh... Maybe everything is side effect of cyclogest..

 

[ttc_rainbow]

Good morning sistas!!

Fath14, yes... It's my 1st FET aft my pregnancy which was why I was not really positive about it... Also I've got 1 embbie trf.... Confident level only 50%... Dr Sadhana was my doc in charge as Dr Marianna left... Dr Sadhana suggested that I shd go for blasto as success rate is higher...

 

[bbjourney]

Luv, dont think too much. As long as AF did not appear, still got chance. Jiayou!!!

 

[luvnhope]

Arghh... Evil hpt!

 

[ttc_rainbow]

Luvnhope, don't worry... The nurses was telling me that they will not use the hpt as cannot detect early pregnancy.... Early pregnancy has lower hcg level.... Be positive!!!

 

[luvnhope]

Thks faith! Hard to b optimistic tho.. Boo hoo... But I'll try not to think too much abt it.

 

[jonjonbear]

Congrats Faith!! Wow really lots of BFP this month!! *** grabbing babydust too***

 

[newme]

Good morning sisters!

 

[heartbeats]

Good morning ladies! Very cool and wet morning. Walk carefully!

Luv, dont think anymore. Be prepared but stay positive. Maybe your HPT spoilt! Maybe HCG still low. Remember to ask for level no matter what they conclude in case got some reading just that it didnt meet clinic's ideal. Anyway you have the right to know. Jia you! *fingers and toes crossed for you!*

Sashamama, all the best for today's scan! Dont worry sure ok ya? Is your adeno very bad?

Angel, Babyjourney, hope its easy for you to just walk in and do repeat BT for HCG. If not, i have another idea. Go GP do lor. KKH wont do anymore BTs for me already, say my files no longer at KKIVF must see doc to get forms already. I think so ley chey i might as well just go GP.

 

[heartbeats]

Thanks Fou Fou for your well wishes! Ya what protocol you be on?

Ching, Eskimobaby, everything ok? Rest well ya? Rooting for you too!

Hey mamaleen, well done! Rest well so can ET under tip top condition. Which day embryos you transferring?

 

[bbjourney]

Heartbeats, i tot you are doing BT at KKH today?

 

[clairejess23]

Morning Mommies and M to-bes,

Just got off the phone with my mom and found out that my cousin is preggo again..back to back.. I can't help it but I feeling so sad..

I also can't resist the temptation, already tested again today, just 6DPO and of course nothing strange with the result.. Anyone tested today and got a BFP? when is the proper time to test? Lots of Baby dusts to us

 

[angelxuan]

Bbjourney, I have called TFC just now but they were having meeting. Waiting for nurse to return my call.

 

[faith14]

Faith Chen, I see. Tks for sharing. my 1st ivf pregnancy I very blur, dunno what is blasto. I just follow instructions when to come in to do ET, when to do BT, like that. Dr Loh (my dr then) also never suggested blasto to me. May I know what are the neg aspects of doing a blasto, since higher chance of success?

 

[angelxuan]

Mamaleen, 11 is great! Have a good rest

When is your ER? After ET, I didn't feel pain after peeing.. the pain doesn't sound ok to me. Do call your dr/nurse to check.

Sashamama, all the best to your scan today. Don't worry, your bb will be alright!

Ching, Eskimobaby, so far so good?

Luv, don't trust the hpt, might be too early. Wait for BT result.

Hope, hope you see more follicles today!

 

[angelxuan]

Hope, is your next scan today or tomorrow? Sorry I am getting forgetful..

 

[newme]

Angelxuan,
I m fine here.... How much we need to walk to promote blood circulation ah?

Eh, u & Bbjourney dun think too much about the bhcg doubling la... Ur 1st reading was 900+ while bbjourney's was 600+, that's oredi very nice number liao... Normally repeat BT is only for those with low or borderline reading la... 不要自己吓自己, ok?

 

[newme]

Mamaleen,
After ER, I did feel pain when peeing, but only when start peeing and not end of peeing. However, the pain went away on the 2nd day.

 

[newme]

Angelxuan,
Hope's scan is today. U remembered it correctly

 

[bbjourney]

Angel, Thank you. hugz.

Ching, worry coz next appt is next week, wonder how is our baby.

Claire, you did IUI or IVF? If IUI, I think you can test hpt at least 14days after your tranfer. Day6 is too early to test. Dont stress yourself. Keep the EVIL hpt out of sight and stay positive.

 

[mama_leen]

Heartbeat, Angelxuan....I still don't know when is my ET...waiting for the embryologist to call me to update me how many eggs manage to be fertilized. But, I have an appointment with my doctor tmrw. She said ET either tmrw, Sunday or Monday.

I've called the clinic regarding the pain when my pee is ending. The nurse said no need to worry and tt it'll go away soon. I hope so.

 

[jonjonbear]

Morning sisters!! Sigh.... My follicles still tiny! Only 9mm today! Doc say must grow till 17mm then is ideal leh...

sad lah... Now increase puregon to 300!!!

Mamaleen, I can't be ur cycle buddy liao, I'm way behind dy.. U Jia you k...

 

[mama_leen]

Ching....yea, I have a feeling it may be a little infection to the urinary tract cos the equipments may have 'touched' it a bit...hopefully it'll go away soon for me too...

 

[newme]

Jonjonbear,
How many days are you on stimulation now? What is ur initial dosage?

 

[mama_leen]

Jonjonbear...it's ok, girl. Slow and steady as long as everything is ok. I guess after the increase in the Puregon dosage, ur follicles will catch up. No worries ya. Eat more protein food.
