Sandra : This is my 3rd try. When was your last IVF?
Joyhope : Thanks for your encouragement, my last 2 cycle there was no fertilisation deeply disappointed. I really hope i can make it this round.
Dreambear : Rest well tonight to prepare for tomorrow lap, no worries you are in good hands.
There are so many dietary supplements eg immunocal & royal jelly honey etc...that are best to consume with empty stomach in the morning, sometimes I really don't know which one to take first.

<min81>, actually I only started seeing marine parade tcm in oct, after e failed fresh ivf.
I went to this tcm after reading gd reviews in e forum. So far, only 2 visits. DH also taking e herbs. While waiting, we saw like 3 or 4 couples, preg ladies seeing him as well. I believe he must have aided in these successful pregancies, that was y these ladies are coming back for herbs to an tai.
The waiting time is super super long. We reached abt 7+ in e morning before e 8.30am opening hrs & left only @ 1+ pm.

Tsuki,
Thanks for ur reply
I was actually seeing that tcm for 6 mths after which i went for iui and conceived but unfortunately m/c.. But i felt his med really helped me a lot.. Now that my ivf is pushed to feb, my hubby suggests we go back to see him to tiao before ivf.. But i'm not sure if he's familiar with ivf stuff.. Does he understand the terms and procedures?
Thanks for ur reply
Hi girls
My first time posting on the IVF board, I usually hang out on the SO/IUI board. I recently started a Facebook support group for TTC and some of you sisters are on it already
I am in touch with Straits Times' health reporter, after she wrote a piece on egg freezing. She is writing a follow up story and wanted to hear more views. If you care to share, please contact me?
Her story is due Thursday and I am thinking of meeting this evening around 7pm in the town area. Please come if you can spare the time? PM me your number and I'll call you.
Thanks

Nov rain, Brchow, Thanks for encouraging.
Mayleng, how's the cramps? are u feeling better. could it be symptoms of implantation, rest more and monitor ur condition. take care!
Wondersss, if size of the cyst is small, i think shouldn't be a problem to proceed with ET ba. if the cyst may cause postpone on et, dr should hv told u early rather than wait till last minute. btw, when will be ur next scan? u may check with dr on this.

min > I went to Marine Parade TCM b4. But my DH condition he can't cure, and he was frank abt it & told us even b4 we did our tests. He is quite accurate I shd say. But I really can't stand the looongggg waiting hrs. Patients hv to q up n move along the way like sitting in a row of musical chairs. He know abt ivf procedures as I also heard him advising couples what to do n eat during the procedures. Bear in mind there is no rm for consultation so other patients will hear your conversations with him. And hor, must brew his medicine de...

lin,
i only took raspberry tea the cycle before my fet. better don't take since u are already starting ur ivf next week. it helps tone the uterus walls so will cause contractions so not advisable to take.
sue-ann,
day 5 is the blastocyst stage where the embryo is ready or has already broken out of its egg shell. usually it's a day 2 or 3 transfer or day 5 transfer. if it's a day 4 transfer, most likely the embryologist or ivf doc thinks that can't wait for day 5 transfer or embryo may not survive to day 5 already so best to transfer asap.

Wondersss> Dr Khoo is under Private Suite... So his consultation is more expensive. 1st time $100, 2nd time /subseq is $70. But i dun need to repeat my story likewise under Specialist clinic coz doctor can change each time =X
The normal maternity package will start from 16 weeks onwards....i am thinking of opting to stay at A ward as DH can stay over and company me.... and have some 2/3 days of peace....hahaha
Dr Khoo waiting hours can be quite long...the last time i saw him, i waited for 2 hours coz he went for delivery at 1am and 6am....

Blizzbless> hi to you...
i am also scared of jabs...i see the needles, i scream first...
probably have to make a decision of going or not going...though it is hard, but i tink it boils down to family and friends support
. Some of the sistas here went for religious or reiki help as a form of support. No harm i think...
for me, i am with KKH under HH Tan. Though there is govt hospital, but service is ok. Waiting time can be quite long sometimes if doctor is away for ER or ET. So it is really up to individual preference. No right or wrong answer choosing which hospital/clinic.

thanks Sandra
it is not an easy journey i must say...
i had my first BT on 1 oct...the HCG level was very high - 2457.9! I got a shock when the clinic called me while i was about to have my lunch with DH... nurses have said that there could be a possibility of little twin stars, but after all, it was just a singleton which i am happy also
MS was no joke - fainting spells, vomitting, nausea, loss of appetite. I went to see doctor twice as i was about to faint (bp was at a low of 90/60 and doctor keep asking me to go warded but i dun want...)...
Praying hard for all sistas to get BFP!!

tsuki> nope...i did not take acu or herbs after ET/2ww. What i did was i ask my dearest mummy to come by and help me with cooking and some housework. I still do very light stuff like arranging newspapers, filing of bills...most of the time will be resting as i was on progesterone inserts 3x per day....(ouch).... after the inserts, really feel super sleepy....
