Dream, I did all the scans, blood tests and hsg but found nothing negative... except for a fibroid during scan... so dr suggest doing lap to see clearer as hsg cannot 100% confirm fallopian tubes are clear... and at the same time removed fibroid. Lap found nothing wrong, so just fibroid removal. I had read that some fibroids do hinder pregnancy. I remembered dr said also cleared my uterus at the same time, not sure if its the same as scraping of the lining, that time still blur about all these. But lap went smoothly and I bfp, only sad that I lost it.

dreambear,sashamunna,Jelly,Qegg,Joyhope,Godislove,Sandra,Lin & min81,
Thanks all gals above giving me a moral supports and comments to made me going on my dreams.
I'll listen and move on trying to conceive by naturally instead of doing ivf.
Meanwhile, I was also consulting TCM to boost up my immune system stronger in order to conceive naturally but this had spent me & DH 1K for one month medicines. Very expensive! If goes on for few months we cannot afford at all.
DH & I giving ourselves 3 mths time to trying up.
If unsuccessful we'll give up, not thinking it again coz it stressful.

LS: Sorry to hear that. You take care of yourself ok.
I have failed cycle in June too. Had a fresh IVF and on Day 10, my AF came. BT on Day 14 and show positive. HCG level at 29 but doctor says is a bad pregnancy and was asked to stop all inserts and medications. I was very upset at that time cos i felt that by stopping the supports, i am killing my baby. But i have left with no other alternative.
Keep crying for 2 weeks. Hide myself in the toilet so that my DH wouldnt see me. Finally, did my FET in Oct. Now BFP.
Stay positive and you will success. This is not an easy journey but we have to persist and miracle will definitely happen.

Hi, read some mentioned about E2 results. I had > 4900 before my ER. Read on some websites that E2 above 4000 is not good to proceed with ivf. My doctor didn't say much except to proceed with ER which ended up with miscarriage.
Anyone has any idea on E2? I also have low AMH and AMH result came out when I was half way with the jab (few days before ER). Thus I did not have a chance to find ways to improve it.

Babysmurf > Oh dear what happened? Staining... and dr allows you to be discharged? Better stay in hospital until everything is stabilised even if your dh is home, cos at home we've the tendency to walk here walk there, and do this do that. Bed rest as much as you can.
Sujong > You mean the ET cycle miscarried? How was your E2 levels during ET and after ET? I understand that some dr will not proceed with ET if E2 level remains high after ER.
Wondersss > I know the frustration of being asked to come and go, but no choice once we start on the cycle. Cool it lady, at least your blood test is ok and you can now proceed as planned. You sound really stressed out.

Hi PSP.......yes I can understand how bad u felt....for me I felt the same like u....like I never done my best to save the baby and just let the blood continue to flow.....my BT shows 474 after a 3rd BT which is increasing but there's nothing we can do to stop the bleeding .....it was sad.....anyhow....i try to put it behind.......
Congrats on ur BFP.....did u do anything to tiao ur body before the FET? U taking royal jelly and q10 until BT of the cycle? Or until ET only ?
I am thinking to rest till Feb then try.......

Sandra..... Cos this is my 3rd try already .....and coming try would be 4th try .....was thinking to have a bb before I turn 35 to avoid those extra tests during pregnancy.....felt is after 35 pregnant would be stressful cos I am afraid of those hormone tests........
babysmurf, now 9dp3dt. Ya, my siblings tell me dun kan cheong also but how not to?
Glad u getting better and making all the right decision, keep talkin and sayang your baobeis,k.
faithbb, i m glad u come back n try again..dun giv up so easily unless no choice ,ok? We all know how expensive ivf treatments are, one ivf could easily cost $20k if u include the supplements, tpt, tests, tcm etc. of cos the older u r, the higher the costs.

LS: Took Royal Jelly and Blackmores Conceive Well immediately after the failed IVF. (about 2 months)
After ET, i stopped the royal jelly and took Brazil nuts (3 pcs daily), chicken essence (3x a wk), Immunocal (daily), Red dates + Wolfberry drink (daily), golden kiwi, apple and 2L of water. I was also taking TCM from Dr Zou. I stopped doing house work and get a part time maid. Wore long pants and socks at home everyday until now.
I went back to work immediately on Day 3 after FET. After insert, i will sit at my chair for at least 30 mins.
I have 8 frozen embryos and my Doctor suggested to thaw 4 and transfer 2 on Day 5. During my 2 ww, i was experiencing red spotting and brown discharge. Like what i mentioned previously, i have to visit O&G at KKH, 2 to 3 times for 2 weeks cos of my heavy discharge. It was really very tough at that time. I keep going to toilet every half an hour to check if the discharge has reduced and whether any spotting.
Im still in my 1st trimester and i am struggling everyday, praying that nothing goes wrong. Every week i am experiencing different changes. Nausea, morning sickness, bloated, cramp and etc.
I have 3 failed IUIs and 1 IVF. I can understand how you feel, i want to have a bb before 35 too.

Finally I have made up my mine not to go thru the d&c. Called to cancel the d&c appt for tomorrow. Initially I was worried that they might be unhappy for my last minute cancellation, but too my surprise, they sound very understanding. Phew! What a relief after the decision.
Next I will go to see my tcm to get some med to flush out my bad lining. Hopefully everything will be swee swee next month la
