Thinking of stopping this wk cos today is CD32 for me.. AF normally at this time but not here yet.. Could just be late but play safe don't do first.. Hehe..

Lin,

Ya i know what you mean! I really can't put my finger in that deep.. Dunno how.. I don't think the med i inserted for hsg worked at all cos i don't think it was anywhere near my cervix.. The tablet just looked slightly smaller than when i inserted it..
 
joyhope: i haven bfp leh, just had lap 2wks ago..

sade, thks for the list and video. did u stay in the position for 20min or u did other pose for 20min? the pillow under the legs is optional? can we do it before bed time?
 
min81: did u have spotting for that tab for hsg? the nurse told me if got spotting is ok already.. i wonder is it my v is nt elastic enuf? ev time they put the ring (or what is that call) to open the cervix during pap smear, or iui or hsg, its is so painful i want to scream. am i adnormal?
 
Sade,

Just to clarify, those are the foods to avoid only during 2ww right? During injections still can take?
 
Ya joy hope, during 2 ww, no carrying of heavy stuffs, no squatting, no strenuous exercise, don't climb stairs if possible n try to avoid using abdominal muscle.
 
lin> ya!! the ring they put in for the SIS scan for my ovaries...super duper pain....i dun care...i scream loudly ..(i tink outside can hear my howls)...but is really pain!!
 
Lin,

I didn't have spotting leh.. Even after the procedure also.no spotting.. Only the fluid flow out.. Ya it's uncomfortable when they put the speculum to open the cervix.. The doc put in and take out nearly 8-10 times cos they say my cervix tilted, hard to get the correct position.. I felt pain at times though.. Lucky was female doc and nurse and they were very nice..
 
joyhope: its ok, cos too many sisters here, i also sometimes concused!

girl: what is SIS? that time i did my hsg, worse cos the doc was trying so hard to put in, and its so painful, he still like dun dare to put and the time lengthened and more pain right?! aiyo..

serene, when ur blood test? how u feeling?
 
Min81, ya to avoid during 2ww.

Lin, I think u shouldn't do the yoga now sin u r still recovering fr your Lapo.

Girl girl for milk, I put in a hot bath so that the milk is warm. Good to keep womb warm.

There are dif types of yoga n I act do more on restorative yoga. Cos I learnt thru YouTube and practice at home. Read that it's better to do in the morning but if u don't have time then do at night. At least 4hrs after meal.

Restorative yoga is using more props such as pillows and blocks. It's more relaxing because I m not that flexible.

Act there are some poses that I did for 3months before my ivf. Pm me if you wan more.

Esther in the video said its good for fertility and I did it with props under my legs for at least 10min per day. N I turn on relaxing music while doing it. Try it and you will like it too.
 
Girl girl,

Me too!! And i wish i can just scream and let it out.. I dunno why i always just instinctively clench my teeth and tahan.. And end up sweating so much.. The nurse can feel my palms all sweaty when she held my hand..
 
min81: oh, hmm.. i did have some spotting aft the procedure.. and also the fluid flow out along my legs when i go toilet to change..

girl: why need to put a ring when scan ovaries?
 
lin> the SIS is the saline sonography..to check on ovary reserve... damn *&&^ pain... the dr HH Tan still say not pain!! Wah piang lor... *face palm*.... lucky that time Dr Mawar (she is from Bahrain) do the procedure for me, and a lot of nurses cheer for me (machiam like giving birth)... after that, she gave me MC, and i took cab home to zzzzzz....

i cannot stand the HSG lor...i feedback to Dr, i told him, u might as well put me on LA, then i think better (coz last time i on wisdom tooth extraction also on LA niah_.... ..faint lor...
 
girl: oh i din know can check thru another procedure? not just take blood test for amh level ah? i think u mean GA (totally unconscious?), but also got side effects like giddy and nauseous. so maybe doc try to avoid GA..
 
girl> got take blood test as well... got GA (sleep totally)... LA (cannot sleep but numb) i can take it...

haiz..everytime go KKH, is blood test here and there...poke till nurse say i think u more familiar liao....
 
girl> stay strong! i feel the same. this mon, one wk aft lap, dr asked me take bt to test for the amh. i so sianz liao.. dr saw my face he said he shld have done it on my lap day..but too late loh.. then aft bt i get emo n cried haaa. so silly! cos i so scared of bt, tt time i did at sgh, my hand bruised for a wk..

then again if we do those procedure, i dunno where they can numb us leh...

anyway, i want to chk if any sis out there, dh has low sperm binding? low sperm binding means try naturally is very very tough (like our low ovarian reserve)? and supplements can improve?
 
Hi any sis under Kkh dr tan Heng hao? Any comments on him? I thinking of switching to him for my ivf procedure.did he do any scan during the normal appointment? My dr sadhana did not scan me at all on her own.. I remembered last time dr sf loh will do a scan everytime I see him at kkh
 
lin> my hubby has low sperm mobility...optimal is 4%, his is only 1%...so cannot swim fast like Michael Phelps lar... similar to your case????
 
hope4baby> i am under Dr Tan Heng Hao at KKIVF.

I saw him at clinic D prior embarking on my 1st cycle (now)... quite a nice chap.

During normal appt, BT & scan is done by the nurses. I think KKH nurses quite OK. Some aunties will encourage me to go on, dun be scared...

before embarking on IVF, he even sat down with us to explain to us etc, and gave us 3 weeks to consider. Sometimes he can be quite busy doing ET or ER, so sometimes his colleagues attend to us.
 
Girl > Is SIS similar to HSG? I did HSG, very painful, nearly wanted to call it off, but paid no refund, so no choice but to go through it, never will I want to go through it a second time!

Lin > I read that ginseng and cordyceps are good for DH.
 
girl> my hubby has high % of abnormal sperm morphology, low % of motility, low sperm binding. in medical terms its Asthenozoospermia. both of us got problems, so cham hor. but doc said i am cleared aft lap, just wait for amh results see how...
 
joyhope: oh ya my hubby taking tcm for 8 mths, the motility % improved. but still below the normal %. but then the sperm binding % is so low, i wonder if sperm binding is like our ovarian reserve, as in it is what we are born with?
 
Sisters who did lap, how long u all rest after u hv failed ur ivf b4 doing e lap? And after e lap, how long u all rest b4 embark onto ur next ivf cycle?

I'm doing acupuncture with Dr Zou too & I also feel pain when she poke e needles on my lower back

JoyHope, think the long Delmonte banana is liang. The shorter ones are okay.

For papaya, think if we make sure it's ripe it's okay. Unripe papaya cannot cos of some compound in it.

Did my 2nd fresh with CARE n BFP. First round with them, yes.
 
Girl, is his mentor dr loh sf? Both my hubby and I find that dr sadhana too bo chap. She don't know who I m even I saw her for abt 4-5 times since jun 2012. Last Tuesday I went to see her after failed fet she still talked abt the last last round bt result... And forgotten I have done my fet. She scheduled me for oct ivf not sure if I change to see dr tan hh now still can continue oct ivf?
 
Sis is not like hSg. Sis is insert water to ur womb. This is better then hSg. Not so painful. Will give a clear picture on ur womb.

Hope4baby: in Kkh all the scan is done by sonographer. I prefer Karen to do the scan she very experience in IVF scan. Dr tan HH is dr Loh understudy. He has gd bedside manner.
 
hope4baby, this is just my tot. I Tik kkh just has too many patients till it is really tough for e gynaes to rem the cases. I didnt do ivf at kkh, but i was with Tan HH b4 I switched to private. During my visits with him, he dun even read my case b4 I enter his rm. He has even asked me to de BT b4 when it was already done during my previous visit to him....
sad.gif
 
ya i think public hospitals have too many patients, esp kkh. so govt shld really also allow grant at private too!

but then my dr at private sometimes also forget what we said during previous consultations.. doc are busy persons lah.. most importantly is feel comfortable with the environment, and dr and nurses...
 
babysmurf> ya... Karen is nice
happy.gif


so dt tan shifu is dr loh lar....hhahaha
happy.gif


last time i check my ovaries, and BT all cleared...

DH is low sperm mobility
sad.gif
wonder wat causes it
sad.gif
...somemore dr tan say a lot of men have such problem
sad.gif
 
asiafrighter> my belly wound sometimes still pain. i dunno why it looks like mosquito bite since ytd.. did dr loh gave yr dh any supplements? we forgot to ask abt hubby low sperm binding..
 
My blood test is due on 13 Sep... still many many days....
For those whom have sperm problems... dun be despair... ivf is the solution... my best friend hubby has low count low motility n low morphology... yet she has 7 blastocyst from her 1st ivf... n her daughter already 3 month lor...
 
asia> u pm me or did u reply my email? :p cos that PM is under my dh email acc haha.. anyway, will dr loh reply email? i email him once but nv reply. but the swell is nt v big lah, just a bit different from hw it looks on wed..

serene> doc will say give dh supplements first n test again...
