BabyPK, pls go to kkh n insist they do something to u. I feel sad n angry for sisters who dun get the service & care from kkh during their 2ww. Tell them they may save one or more lives lor!
Min, I did my ivf at Mt E n I dun need to fork out cash, except a deposit of 4.5K by credit card where they will refund to me after e final bill & after cpf deductions. Cos per cycle of ET & ER will cost more than $6K at Mt E. They will then deduct from the deposit lor.

Grace, precisely, safety come 1st. u take care too!
Qegg, i was jus like u after ER, mayb worse and i was lousy, i need to take painkillers to ease the pain, but the panadol prescribe to me was not effective at all, so for the whole nite, i was having on off pain, fortunately, my tiredness wear me off n i was able to sleep thru the pain.
You shd feel better by tomo morning. the blood stain shd b gone but the heavy bottom will continue especially after any intake of food.
How many follicles did doc retrieved? When is your scheduled ET?
Meanwhile take good care of yourself,k.

Good morning sisters!
Can anyone with Dr Zou @ AMK advise how much usually she charges for consultation and Med? My charges usually for Dr TSB is around $150 for both me and DH including 5 pkts of med that lasts us around 2 weeks.. Wondering if Dr Zou charges are higher or lower as I'm considering switching to her since I want to start accu with her at start of my cycle.
Thanks in advance!

Sandra, mine was a d2 transfer. 4 better ones were frozen & they monitoring if the rest were able to grow further b4 freezing or abandoning.
Blizzbless, mine was a long protocol:
First menses cycle
On D3 menses, started oral pills;
On D19, inject lucrin daily (suppression)
Second menses cycle
On D2 of upcmg menses, blood test for E2 (estrogen level)
On D6, lucrin + puregon (stimulation)- (2 diff injection daily)
On Day 6 of stimulation, 1st scan for follicles sizes
Scan again in three days time
Until ready for ER
If inject at the right position, no pain
The injections did not side effects on me during my first cycle. But this time, I experienced terrible headache towards the end of the suppression stage.
No pain during ER but perhaps mild to moderate cramps for some after the procedure. HV to take lots of fluid to flush the sys to prevent possible ohss.

anyone knows if got headache can take the white/blue tablet for muscle relax/painkiller (name: anarex) docs usually prescribe. After a few hours taking progyvona can take? Cos im feeling headache and i can't get hold of my clinic to ask and also i've run out of the usual panadol..

Qegg > You can insist on AMH test. I had read that FSH for ovarian reserve is not conclusive. I drank red dates logan every 2-3 days from stimulation stage. Good luck with your ET tomorrow. Rest well.
Wondersss > My af came on Saturday. So i called in the morning and dr asked me to go down immediately for scan and bt, so i can start my jabs on D2. I was on long protocol though. Hope the drama at your in-laws was the last episode and no part two!
Grace > Dr can tell from scan that half of the 26 follicles no good? What's the size? My dr said can't tell until ER, so don't worry. All the best for your ER tomorrow. Continue taking lots of protein as ohss may set in after ER.
Lalas > I was on gonal-f too, only towards the egg of stimulation then i felt bloated.
KL > You're such a strong lady, a good source of motivation for us! Jia you!
Min81 > I was on long protocol. Abstain from start of stimulation stage. This is to prevent the risk of multiple pregnancies which can be dangerous for bother and bb. I did mine at mt e, paid 4.5k deposit, balance they will return/bill later after ET.
BabyPK > Did you go KKH to get more support? Please do. Hope spotting is gone.
Sasha > I retrieved 25 eggs, 20 matured, 15 fertilised. 2 5d embroys transferred (bfn). Remaining 6 embroys frozen. Waiting for next year to do FET.
Dreambear > I did mine at mt E too. Did you have balance from the deposit to be refunded to you? Mine exceeded so have to top up.

Sandra, dreambear,
Thanks for the info.. Was just thinking if ivf at nuh doesn't work out, might consider 2 other doctors at gleneagles.. But i know i shouldn't be thinking too much for now.. Hoping for the best for my ivf in dec..
Joyhope,
I see.. I wasn't aware of the abstinence part.. Told my hubby and surprisingly he already expected it..
Laki_gal,
So is your ET coming up?

Min81 > Sometimes guys see things clearer as they are usually more level headed.
Sandra > Yes my af came full flow on Saturday, so went down immediately on D1 for scan. Can see roughly number of follicles though scan not so clear. D2 is Sunday and clinic closed so did D1 scan instead as dr wants me to start jabs on D2. But only about half of the fertilised made it to be used/freezed.

For my FET, i was on lucrin (20iu) for bout 11 days then reduce the dosage to 10iu for bout 14 days. Beside tat i was also given progynova. I only did 1 BT that was to determine whether to reduce my dosage for lucrin.

Joyhope, my next cycle may be in Mar, ie starting suppression in Feb cos I'm gog for my lap end Nov or beginning Dec. Haiz, I actually tot I let go on my failed cycle le. But when I saw the requested e report on e growth of my embryos n their photos ( to show Dr Zou), I nearly cried in the train. Then I knew I hv not let go yet. I'm beginning to scare of failure(s) again. Sorry for giving out negative energy on a Friday sisters....

Laki gal, in my previous cycle, after puting in embryo, dr yu asked me to rest for abt half an hour. abt 10min later, i cant hold my bladder and wake up to pee, nurse immediately cleaned up the bed and refused to let me returned to operation theater. i asked one of the nurse yesterday, she told me that normally rest for few min is enough.....

Hi KL, Dreambear, Qegg, Sandra... I went to the 24hr clinic last night.. Doc gave me a jab. Did a urine test with faint positive. So the nurse suggested to do BT.
Haven't get the results. Sun morning to go back for 2nd BT.
But my bleeding has not stopped. In fact it has gotten worse.. With bigger blood clots (Sorry TMI..) but doesnt soak up the pad. cramps getting more like AF coming..
Taking it easy now.. Esp since this is my first ivf..
Dreambear, Jia you.. It's never easy to let go.. But we can do it & come back stronger..
Lakigal, all the best for your ET..
