Sandra: I don't want to be too quick to "categorize" for me but it helps to know what to expect.

Dreambear: Doing scan helps the doc to know how many AFC you have possible for the cycle (varies cycle to cycle depending on how many follicles has been recruited grow) but only AMH, FSH, estradiol helps to know your ovarian reserve. However eventually it's until a IVF cycle is done (going thr superovulation then ER and insemintaing eggs) then you know the quality of eggs.

Blizzbless: Indeed Dr Loh's style. not to worry.

For those wanting to do bloodwork to check your hormonal levels (FSH, AMH, etc), please know that only D2-3 readings would be useful.
 


Emily,

You should be able to get it at parkway ntuc, the section with all the organic foodstuff.. Vacuum packed, 150g at $5.90.. If not, can try those stand-alone stalls at shopping malls selling fresh nuts..

Good luck, and hope it works for you.
 
Hi Sandra,

I did my 1st attempt in Scotland n subsequently in sg. I'm with Dr loh. Ang mohs r pro blastocyst but not in sg.

Hiaz I read in other forum if we do experience cramps too near our AF is not a gd sign as well as the mucus thingy....anyone heard of it?
 
Joyfully I bot mine at city sq too. Haaa 100g not tat much. I feel when I eat, I get sore throat. Feels Heaty to me. Btw wat is it gd for when ladies take it?
 
Good morning ladies!

Emily, if you stay in the east, you can also buy it from cold storage Tampines 1. It's $4.9 for a 100 g pack. I bought 2 to last me from 3dp2dt to the completion of implantation.

Lynx_sea, it's high in selenium, good for implantation. I also find it v 'pu zhua' but I drank lotsa water to quell the onset of a sore throat :)

Yvejen, don't read too much into the symptoms or the lack thereof. All the best for the upcoming BT!
 
Hi bynnie,

I'll really try....

Thk u ladies...hope i'll b able to embrace today n then the subsequent days leading to BT.
 
Joyfully it tastes nice like macademia nut. Milky nuts. I read tat not to buy too much in quantity as the oil will smell n advised to buy smaller qty.
Usu how many pcs u eat? I can't stop when start eating. Haaaa
 
Sandra, retrieved 12, 2 transferred as fresh cycle during my 2nd attempt. Froze 2 n during thawing process, 1 din mk it. Initially, I din think that the only 1 will survive as is only at 4 cell stage. Amazingly, this last 1 cleave on the day of transfer.
So this is my 1 n only 1 left.

Dreambear, thks loads.

U ladies r such a hun!
 
Hi, anyone can share the procedure between medicated FET n normal FET huh? How many days of rest do we need huh? I failed a cycle of IVF n conceived naturally to a healthy gal ..now thinking whether should do FET cos still have two n I m not young anymore. Reaching 40 soon..

Anyone k share when do we know whether the thawing of embryos will survive thru the thawing stage huh?
 
Sandra, oh I meant the embryo actually grows. It grew fr a 4 cells stage to a 6 cells. I tot the transfer will not proceed coz the day b4, my only hope wasn't growing. So hoping that it will really work out...my BT is on this Fri...counting down though each day seems like eternity...fingers cross n pray for god's blessing!
Hiaz...to mk things worst, I've gt cyst in each ovary. That's y my quantity is no fantastic.
 
Sandra, nope Dr prefers not to remove as it will affect the egg reserves apparently...err what's a medicated FET to begin with?
 
Sandra, yes! Finally received it.. sorry something wrong with my messaging I think. \

Lynx_sea, shd only eat about 2-3 nuts a day coz quite heaty...so not good to eat too many.

Yvejen, I know that the 2ww is absolute torture... but don't read too much off the internet.. info-overload plus makes us worried for nothing.. just rest well!

Any sisters have recommendation and advice on acupuncture before ivf? How many months/weeks before ivf should I start? If I want to try naturally, is the type of acupuncture for myself and dh the same?
 
Hi Sandra , yah.... My Af juz report this evening but dunno y tummy feeling bloated and crampy.. Hopefully will be better when the full flow happens.. Going to call O&G tmr morning... Or should I wait till only when my full flow is here?
 
Hey Sandra, just saw somewhere that I'm taking progynova means I'm on medicated FET?
If this is so, then on medicated FET.
 
Yvejen/Sandra. Medicated fet is more straightforward. Just take progynove on either day2 or day4 of AF, go for few scannings then start taking progesterone support when lining is ideal and u are ready for transfer. Less stressful than fresh. :)
 
Sandra. Scanning normally starts on d11 or d13 of AF, depending on the length of ur cycle. Need to take progynova to build up lining first.
 
Btw does any sistas when is the earliest we can use hpt post medicated fet? I just cheated on d9pt and it was +. Not sure whether its the effect from the progesterone.
 
Godislove:I have been going for accupuncture for a few months and am now starting on ivf. depending on each individual, i think a min of 2-3 mths accupuncture is req to tiao the body..u can drop by TCM and see what he/she say based on ur conditions..
not sure abt if the accupuncture is the same for u and dh. my dh went for accupucnture with me too..but i diddnt ask where did the tcm poke..i wld think is at different locations?

Sandra: i am going to call now and make appt either for today or tmr..cos my flow last night is already a bit normal, no longer spotting..

hahaha...is like going for exam...now i suddenly realise what i duunno wat i need to prepare
 
good morning ladies!!!

trying to catch up the posts.. abit hard..

Lynx, dr sadhana say will up the dosage since im not reacting well with the medication..

lin, 450 is not high... im 350 puregon + menopur which containing 150 dosage of puregon .. so total 500 lo... lols that explain y my bills soooo high!!

Sandra, havent decide yet.. i thinking issit good to start the next cycle right after 3 months.. haiz..
Any sisters to advise..?
 
ok..i just called O&G...so seeing Dr Loh today at 430...looks like going to be a long wait today..

Who are my cycle buddies huh?? going to start today...feel nervous & excited man
 
Hi Sandra, yes will need to go for a scan on day 2 of AF n then start to take progynova. Will hv to go back for a scan on day 10 or 13 to re-check the lining. As well as 1 more scan a few days b4 transfer. Progynova will continue even after the transfer along with zee progesterone as well. That's abt it.
 
Leapgirl, as what Sandra Progestrone inserts will not affect result unless u on hcg jabs. So definately is a BFP yayy! Congrats :D

Wondersss, 3 mths is okie to start
happy.gif
Jia you!
 
Hope_4_bb, not quite sure what's the definition of fresh..but yah..am starting my first ivf today..af just arrived yesterday..

Leapgal: congrats! but do continue to rest well too...

by the way, wat shd i expect today other than collecting med for my ivf?? is there going to be any scan and what is it for??
 
Sandra: is it the same as puregon pen? if so, i can take it...although i hope my tummy fats isnt too much n prevent med fr going in...

does it matter if i jab at night or in the morning? how does the doc prescribe based on scan? wat can he see in the scan??

Blizzbless: hihi...hav u started ur ivf already and in 2ww?? maybe nausea is a good symptom?? actually, i also blur blur..
