Heartbeat, what is a Lutual phase defect?

Throll, did you have any sign during 2ww?

Babysmurf, (I still cannot get used to addressing you babysmurf! Hahaha)

Do you intend to do your next fresh cycle in TMC?
This month, surprisingly, my temp is still elevated 8 days after O! I am so tempted to be hopefully that I got a positive this time!! I am going crazy....

Nurul, chicken essence helps to keep our body warm. have to drink a lot of water if you are planning to dring chicken essence everyday. It is very heaty!

Mc-007, Congrates!

can you share if you have been taking conceive well, coq10, chicken essence, LRD drink and tcm before you enbark on your fresh cycle?
 


Sisters, I think many of us here are encountering a lot of emotions roller-coaster. Everthing seems so hard now but we need to fight through, please jia you till the end k.

ABBaby, will it be for implantation if it is brown spotting?

Hi tahope, I agree that those disappointments are killing us but since you have succeeded in getting preggie before, it may mean that implantation is not an issue and hopefully, very soon, the healthy one will develop nicely in you. We jia you together k?
 
shainie, they takes around 5-7 days for them to process and reply to your queries.

Please insists that they should re-look at their processes and procedures, they the person-in-charged, we already suffering so much from jabs, medicine, hormone changed, emotional. Please do not add burden.

niko, i ever asked a pharmacists, he said the folic acid dorsage in conceive well is very little only, so it is ok to take both! only conceive well alone is not enough.

I seem to read in another forum somewhere that Dr Marianne seems to be preggie. Ladies who go to Dr Loh's clinic, just curious, is that true?
 
Dear Shainie, do you think emailing to the MOH will help? Perhaps they will push KKH for investigations and you will have a 3rd party to help you monitor too?
 
GivemeHope, it is already d12 past my egg retrieval , I doubt it is implantation bleeding. did not have any spotting prior to this...sigh
 
Aiyo, how come I so blur de? Who is Dr Marianne? I always go to Dr Loh's clinic without noticing other doctors de. If Dr Loh is on leave, we will see other doctors? Even for ET?
 
Dear sistas, yes I won't stop the support even thou I find no point even thou till now it is still light bleeding.

Dear heartbeats, no doc didn't not increase the support saying what I'm given is > enuf. He even check my progesterone BT on 30Apr saying the lvl is ok.

Ivf is really painstaking process.
 
Givemehope, there r a few doctors who are doing ivf at TFC. I think if dr loh is on leave, he will make sure to hand over properly. Dont worry.
 
Sunstillshines: still can address me as piglet02. Hahaha

My third and last fresh is still with kkh. Change from april to aug.talk to my boss, he want me to change to sept. argh. Cos aug is my company audit. And he said not nice as he will be promoting me in July. Hai hai. In dilemma.

Currently see tcm Tan siew buoy. Just start with her for about a month. This cycle let didn't O. Faints.. Still hoping can cancel my third cycle. Hahaha

Gd to hear that your bbt stay high. Today what day Liao. Can test or wait till your next visit with TCM Dr to ba mai for you. Your visit is tmr right. Jia you.
 
Shainie...actually one way of getting response is to write to the papers..be it ST, TODAY or even the ba gua Chinese papers like Wan Bao..

I once wrote to Today and complaint abt National Dental Center..and who knows the PR called me to find out more abt the situation and provide me with an explaination after that.

sunstillshines...woohoo..high bbt is a gd sign..you can try test abt Dpo 12 if bbt continue to stay high high..

well, i m super ks type...i took conceive well, coq10, vit b complex, vit d3, folic, EPO (pior O) and flaxseed (after O).

took dhea due to my low amh, go acupuncture and tcm, drink LRD.

start taking immunocal 2 wks prior stim and ensure milk when start stim. actually wanted take brazil nuts but forget to buy..

i didn't take chicken essence cos i can't stand them...lol..
 
Babyjourney... so the other doctors' clinics are also in TFC? I was really into my own world lo, never realised that at all :p

Yo yo mc, that's a good idea too! But not easy to write Shainie's encounter ba? Needs to be brief yet detailed.

ABBaby, do update us ya? Things may not be as bad as you think. Late implanters? I did not even see a blood drop during my 2ww, yet still not fated to be a mum. Guess I had too much supports, my menses got delayed then few days after my menses,bleed until cannot stop. Hope yours will be another blessing in disguise, stay zen~
 
Shanie,
Spotting with cramp is actually a sign of miscarriage, somemore u feeling terrible cramp, how can the MO let u off like that. Still 50-50 half hearted to give u jab. She is widow or spinister that doesn't understand a preg woman's fear! Gosh! I felt so sad for u.. Usually if it's a gynae, straight away give jab or anything to protect. I hope they are looking into the matter that's why reply late. Else the suggestion from MC seems gd to use.

Tahope
Actually I'm opposite of the rest. For a result of <1 for hcg at day11, it's obvious that u r not preg. If ur embbies are late implanters, there would at least 1-20hcg. Not that I want to pour cold water, but I think u shouldn't continue to hope that u will be preg in another few days time bcos the disappointment will be even higher cos u are still looking forward to something. Let ur mind think clear ahead and plan for next step. I actually think alot if I Shld post this cos I Noe some ladies will not be happy with this comment. But my intention is help u up to move forward and not pinning hope for something that it won't happen.

but I still hope u not give up and go for one more ivf.
 
Ladies,

Still waiting to see doc. Spotting turned light red from brown.

Tahope, my blood test is on 11 May 2012.

Actually got feeling that if this cycle fails, bleeding is going to start early as my progesterone level is low, only 35nmol.
 
Shanie... Just read the post... I am so sorry to hear on your loss... Be strong dear.. I hope KK 24 hrs will change their procedure... All IVF pregnancies r crucial.. It takes sp hard for us to conceive... They hv to understand...

Just a suggestion... If u r meeting Dr Tan anytime to arrange for ur next cycle.. Request for daily prog jab instead of inserts.. Thats wat I did during my last year FET.. Insisted for daily jab as durung my 1st fresh I had red spot on d13... So thinking my body doesnt produce enuff prog at later stage.. I insisted on prog jab daily... It was gd my dr agreed to it...Do insist...

I do hope all sistas will succeed in their journey... We learn alot along the way... We r brave n tough to go tru all these to hv our lil ones... But once bfp it doesnt mean all k... Not everyone has smooth stages.. Thats one thing Dr need to realise... All pregnancies esp IVF is very important.. More care n concern needed...

U sistas Jia You.... Take care...
 
Just seen doc. Tested negative using the hpt at the clinic on day 10 post 2 day transfer.

Doc initially refused to give me more supports till I insisted.

He even had to consult his senior before relenting!

Now just ve to hope that bleeding will stop

Hi m using last time doc prescribe lotion to wash private area to decrease bacteria isit still safe to use it? M having light brown spotting fr many days..
 
Tahope they gave me dydrogesterone for consumption three times a day.

Has your bleeding stopped?

Are you also taking utrogestan inserts?

If u don't mind me asking, what was your original progesterone level?
 
Abbaby, still bleeding. I don't know the lvl. Forgotten to ask. Yes, I'm still doing the inserts.

How abt u? How's the bleeding? Managed to reduce?
 
Shainie, I just read about your post on your mc day. Thanks for sharing in details. I know it is very hard to pen down the whole incident and it keep remind you about your loss.

Sometimes, I also keep wondering why spotting happen and why the fetus didn't grow well even it is already implanted and confirm pregnant. I have been asking Dr. Tan about this but he can't give me a definite answer. At last, he said it is about luck too. sighs...so, am i down with luck? If yes, then why i pregnant? If pregnant, then why i mc? Is this a joke from the god?

Now, I understand why chinese custom said don't tell anyone when you are pregnant in your first trimester. There could be a lot of things unforeseen which may or may not happen. The destiny to be a mum is actually start from second trimester onward and the whole roller coaster process won't be ended till the mummy deliver the baby alive. It is one whole year project to be exact.
 
Givemehope, i think the other doctors will go to TFC when their patients are there for consultation or ER/ET. I think most of the patients are there to see Dr Loh.
 
Heartbeats Im ok. My AF start to flow heavily today. Do hpt this morning there is still a faint line. Need to wait another day and start my mini confinement.

I will be here to motivate others to support others. This is the way I heal my pain.
 
Hello.. I just joined this forum, apologies if it is not the right place to the post question,..Doc has advised me to go for IVF, can you suggest me which doc is the best for IVF... Thank you!
 
Shainie, when is your next review with Dr Tan? Do ask him to check thoroughly so that your womb can fully recover. Like i shared in my PM, my miscarriage wasnt complete and got clot left inside, Dr Loh had to give abortion pill to get it out, if not will risk infection and scarring that can affect future pregnancies.

Hugs Shainie, you are such a nice gal, you have such a big heart even for others when you are at your lowest point. Dr Zou always tell me, 'heavens will be moved and we will have our desires one day'. I believe in that for you too. JY!
 
Thank you Babysmurf, Bubli and Heartbeats.

Heartbeats Noted. Will do check up throughly. Yes I think need to see if all the clots are gone. Today the AF really painfull. Will pm u the update after I meet him.
 
Dear ladies,
Anyone can advice me if we can fly to KL during stimulation or after ER/ ET how soon can we start flying?
My grandma is very ill and is in the hospital currently. And, her condition doesn't look good. I feel like flying there to see her.
And, my parents do not know I am doing ivf. I didn't tell them as I do not want them to worry.
All I can do now is she pray hard that she get well soon.
Sob, sob.....I feel so sad now.
 
tahope,
I was spotting since day 11 during my last fet. I tested on hpt n it was negative so more or less I knew gone case but I continued with my inserts. However, the irony is i was more able to handle my BT results as I more or less prepared for it as compared to my first fet where I was quite affected as I had a chemical pregnancy.

Blur xuan,
If u using a douching tool to wash ur pte area u should stop immediately. Don't wait till later... Suggest u go straight to a kkh 24 hours clinic to get more support.
 
Heather, there are alot of good doctors for ivf but it depends on where you want to do your ivf? At a public govt hospital or a private hospital? For Govt hospital you will get an additional 3k grant on top of the medisave deduction and the cost of the ivf is cheaper than private hospital.
 
Hi morning everyone....

Shainie, u r a nice and strong gal. Jiayou!

Kiki, cyclogest will not affect the hpt as it does not contain hcg. Good luck!
 
Thanks Sarah,

I'm suppose to have my BT on 10 May and I did a hpt today and the result is a very faint +ve, should i go down to KK to bring forward my BT?
