Lin: I think v insert will have different outcome.. For the mayo, I am not sure if TCM doc based for ok but for western doc, it's because of the bacteria, u can check this out http://whatscookingamerica.net/Q-A/EggPasturization.htm.
Leor: heee... He sometimes read this forum also
Wondersss: blastocyst is 5days old embryo. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blastocyst

Lin: usually it's long protocol as "standard" and if one do well, doc usually stick to it else it will usually be short, I reckon that its probably becase there isn't a need to suppress so much as they will use your own cycle to help in the egg stimulation. I might be wrong.
Lin > Am on long protocol. Did dr explain to you why he chose short protocol for you? Usually long for first timer, that's what I was told since they've better control. Yes I know that tuna has mercury content, but canned tuna is considerably lower... but again, all take in moderation.
Chris > Store or supermart shelves bought mayo is ok as it has gone through processes. But not restaurant or home made mayo sauce as it uses raw egg yolks.

winniepooh> if only my hubby is so motivating.. haiz.. i asked him to be prepared for a v severe PMS just in case my hormones is haywire after injections he said he shld just keep quiet
chris> did he also tell u on short and high dose? is it weird to ask him why he decide on certain things for us?? u know he seldom say unless we ask.. he ask me if i want long or short, i dunno, so he said short for me.

lin: Dr sadhana put me in short protocol with higher dosage as my AMH is low. she ever mentioned, eve at size 16 my eggs were not matured so 2nd fresh they will leave the eggs grow further before ER.
If now i change to TFC or NUH, do you think they will give me different protocol?
one side think KK had all my record, dr.sadhana knows what to do! another side think NUH and TFC provided better support(can see doc more often). any advise?

Lin: he asked me that the first time when I asked abt short when he said long.. That time I ask abt short cos I just want as less jabs as possible.. But I guai guai follow him to do long. Who knows I will go a second time and short... Bo pian. I am guessing the dose won't change much for me cos that's how it is already?

prosepina> (i always had diff remembering hw to spell yr name, must copy paste!) i think u been to tfc right? i think if u want change u need all kkh previous records, so tt the next dr knows what u did previously, then can rec wat's next. u can also go see nuh and see of all the 3 dr, nurse, envir, wic u are more comfortable with... u have to highlight the problems u had during ur first cycle...

Prosepina: I would not worry about record cos usually they can get record. I guess it's really what you want and you can see a few gynae before you decide. Usually with past record, it helps to give gynae info about your body and response to meds. Probably another thing is skill of doc too.
Leor, no, only 6 were frozen. So out of my 14 fertilised embryos, only 8 made it to blastocyst stage.
Wondersss, thanks! if im not wrong. There are 2 schools of thought when it comes to ET. Some doctors prefer Day 2-3 transfers because they feel that the best place for the embryos is back in the womb. Whereas some doctors prefer Day 5 transfers so that thea embryos are matured to the blastocysts stage (the stage just before hatching) so that they can ensure only the strongest survive.
To prepare for ivf, I just tried to be healthy and relax. Exercise regularly and ate more salmon and vegetables. I have already stopped drinking caffeine since Jan! Also gave up cold drinks but wasn't super strict with that.
One month before my first blood test, I started weekly accupunture at Raffles TCM. Took 2 of their ivf package. I also started drinking immunocal and eating brazil nuts, almonds and dried longan daily. I just keep a jar of these mixed nuts on my desk at the office. During injections, my DH and I also started drinking Ensure milk for protein and Selenium.
On the day of ET, I went for accupunture in the morning before going to the hospital for ET. Since that was on Saturday, I went in again on Monday for accupunture.
JoyHope, no problem
My AMH level is 26.9. You'll be fine. don't worry!! My doctor says 'oh 38 is still young!!' ha ha!
