am on short protocol . Gosh kkh is soooo crowded today.
 
Love all around: over 20eggs is good! What medical regime were you on? Hopefully DHEA help for you. When will you be starting on it? Was your DH's SA ok?

Asiafighter: What was Dr Loh's proposal? I don't have frozen so I have to restart everything and if I need to take DHEA for 4months then my guess is the next cycle would be next year. I hope is really to have better or improved outcome compared to 1st cycle then decide from there.

Tahope: guess it isn't easy. Looking back, I also dont know what i did during 2ww too but think i was stressed with all the unusual stuff going on in my body, short walk to smell the flowers might be good

Do you work?
 
Chris> I'm not working. Got HL fm hospital. Maybe due to the insert, my tear juz drop when I juz watch tv program. It's a happy scene whereby the lead actress manage to survive fm liver transplant. Ha ha. So emo Hor. Tink muz watch more comedy better.

Babysmurf > txs for the infor. U given me hope again. Ha ha. Btw do u still go ur fren there for healing? How do u feel after the healing? Does ur fren tell u any 'message' after each healing?
 
Chris: I'm waiting for my sister to send the DHEA to me from USA, as you know DHEA is not sold in SIN now. It should arrive around 12-15Oct and I will start once I receive it.

20 eggs doesn't mean anything coz I have none frozen in both failed IVF, maybe that's why Dr. Loh thinks that the egg quality is the problem. He asked to take it for 4 months too.

I have 3 spare bottles of DHEA 25mg from GNC because my sister sent me 6 bottles.
 
Hi Chris

Sorry to hear about your last cycle...but I am glad to see you're holding on strong and moving on.

For DHEA, if you search the literature, 75mg daily is needed. If your capsule is 25mg each, then you may want to see if you need 3 caps. Speak to your dr. FYI, I am also on DHEA for at least 4 mths till next IVF cycle.

Hi Asiafighter - thanks for reply me on the TMC TCM accu. What's your feedback on it? Did you feel it made a difference? Thanks.
 
Hi Chris,

I contemplated Royal jelly too. But it supposedly mimics estrogen..and because I have endo which is a result of too much estrogen, I decided to hold off. Not sure if my decision has strong science basis, but I feel more comfortable not to put myself on it.
 
Tahope: I guess you are a sentimental person

blame on the hormones for now .. Hehe.

Love all around: ok.. I certainly hope you will get around it with DHEA and since you hv no problem with egg number. I was on a relatively high dose of stimming drugs but my egg numbers retrieved isnt high, considering my age. Many factors can play a part, we could just try out what we know and then let go knowing we did all possible. Jia you ok.

Hey Marble, thank you! Ya, tell myself to pick up and move on.. It would not do both me and Dh good so just focus on what needs to be done first. yes, I did read that 75mg is usually recommended but I was just following doc's order. They do recommended at least 50mg so I thought it would be fine. I will email him again. I actually ordered enough for 4months le.. So have to order again if he says ok to 75mg. What is your experience on DHEA? For royal jelly, do what you are comfortable with. I still need to read on it but hv ordered for DH.
 
Hi Chris,

Been on DHEA for a mth plus now. I think it makes me perspire more at the armpit, so I needed more deodorant! On the postivie side, it seems to increase libido, esp during O time..so I have no compliants haha
 
Tahope: I still doing healing. But not every session got massage. Since u in 2ww, u may want to try laoshi one. She got more time slots available.
 
Bigbear > nothing much for the review. He juz lightly press my lower tummy twice, hold me up & tell me that all. He juz wan to make sure I'm not suffering fm ohss ba...ha ha...1 embryo how to suffer ohss leh ...

Txs babysmurf ... Yes will go laoshi there on thur. Btw, may I know y u didn't continue healing with laoshi??
 
tahope, OHSS depends on ur number of eggs retrieved, not the resultant number of embryos.

Also everyone's body is different and may have different tolerance levels for OHSS.

Rest well and stay stress free!
 
marble, reli for the libido? today my Cd14, found lots of discharged..soaking pantyliner. but ovulation was detected on CD9.

talking abt bbt,my bbt really makes me worry. before O, my bbt is 35.9-36, after O, 36.2-36.3 reli reli low. before my ivf, i used to have 36.5-36.6 post O bbt. will check with TSB when i see her next mon..

actually i dont like to take bbt, i find it is stressful..
 
Big bear : hope yr ET went smoothly. The nurse din say much abt my scan , I started with puregon and sai zen today.
Babysmurf: I rem u had the same jabs as me? What's yr dosage? Felt like I haf headache after the jabs.
 
SunnieHope, I am done with ET now resting in the room.
happy.gif
Usually, D2 scan u will know how many follicles u have but after injection u may have more. JY
 
Tahope, I feel taking bbt very stress! Got to wake up early on weekend too so as to match my weekday timing. I did it for 3 months and decided to stop. My bbt fluctuate a lot be it before or after O.
 
Marble: I guess it makes your DH happy
happy.gif
Do you take bbt? Does it affect bbt? I hope my cycle will get to normal, this AF is a bit screw up now cos only red for a day. I think I should expect another AF soon.

Prosepina: ya, bbt takes some effort. Usually TCM would ask for bbt, TSB do not ask it from you? Drinking LRD seems to help? My friend who does massage mentioned my body is now "warmer" compared to before. I didnt take anything herbal stuff other than LRD so I think it does help.

SunnieHope: Hope you have great quality eggs!

Bigbear: All the best!

Babysmurf: what is this healing thing? prayer?
 
bigbear> good luck for yr 2ww!! how many embryo u have?

chris> dr loh also told me to take twice 25mg daily. but he did not say must take 4mths.. sometimes he also try and error..

preciousbaby> good luck tmr!

actually for natural ivf, i find its useful for pple with low ovarian reserve, cos since aft stimulating, the eggs wont be alot, why take the pain for the injections..
 
Hi Ladies, I had my ET 9 days ago but developed mild OHSS 5 days after the ET. OHSS is no fun at all. My tummy has bloated so much that it looks 5 months pregnant, I'm in pain, nauseous, diarrhoea. Doctor has instructed me to drink sports drinks like H2O, Gatorade and eat lots of protein.

I wanted to ask if any ladies here have experienced this and how long it lasts. Every night, I wake up with sharp pain to the point of tears, I don't know how much longer I can take this. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
 
LuvNhope, Chris, 1BB, done with ET! Thank!

Tahope & lin, thank! Transferred 2. Not sure any frozen yet must wait till tomorrow as the other 3 still under observation.
 
Lin yup but of course ppl r ks, surely wan more eggs to be retrieved. Initially natural ivf was not my option but no choice sin Dr loh suggested it n he's so confident so I had to give it a try.

But no matter conventional or natural ivf, the egg quality is of most important.
Hence I recommend this royal jelly with bee pollen n propolis. Been searching lately n find that can help endo too. But seems like a lot still reject this. It's really up to individual whether to do more Googling to find out more. What I can do is recommend. The rest is up to individual.
 
Lil ponyo eat more egg whites. Hard boiled for your case as u r having diarrhoea. No raw or half boiled. N also eat 5 small portion meals per day instead of 3large meals.
Monitor your situation if It's get really bad, better see ur gynae.
 
sade, how is yr dh SA? if low sperm count can still do natural ivf?

btw, i order the royal jelly thru ur recommendation, been taking it diligently since its arrival 2 weeks ago,,,i find it actually improves the complexion...hehehe

but how it improves my reproductive system i cant see ...hehehe
 
Lil, please eats at least 6 or more hard boiled egg whites if u can stomach it. I took around 3 days and feel so much better.
 
Jelly dh sa low n form not good. We did natural with icsi. Cos only 2eggs so sure icsi. Don't want to take any chances. Dh also can take royal jelly. Helps to improve sperm too.

Good that your complexion has improved. For reproduction system has to take 3months to see improvement.

Post back if u find that good. So can share with more ladies.
 
Chris: healing is actually something to do with spiritual healing. No prayers. Prayers is usually the healer will do normally at the end of the session. During healing, I normally fall asleep. After session, the healer will share what they "see" abt us during the session.
 
sade> the royal jelly is in liquid form, when they deliver, does it spills or will the bottle breaks or something? each time u take how much? and how long does a bottle last?
 


sade, i think if it improves the complexion externally within 2 weeks, internally shd b ok ba?

wah, i need to google what is natural ivf lei?

or can u share what is natural ivf?
