Ladybuggy - hugz.. dont give up k.. have a good rest and like jelly said, come back stronger..

Sara - Maybe u were too uptight during the scan? U are talking abt the virginal us right? Could it be u have some scratches internally thats why so pain?

 

[min81]

Ladybuggy,

Sorry to hear that.. Take a well-deserved break and come back stronger k..

Sara,

Don't worry, ER and ET not really that painful.. Take care and have a good rest..

 

[bubbub]

Lady bugger : am sorry to hear that .

...hope u are feeling better! But as u said, still have snow babies so next round should be better cos ur body dun need to go through so much stress.

What lining issue are u referring to?

 

[stunningapple]

Hello ladies,

I m presently undergoing TCM to tiao my body for the next IVF.I have a query here & i hope u can advise me.

When do i start taking the an tai herbal medication?Should it b before ET or after ER?

Kindly advise.Thanks.

 

[mushypie]

Bubbub, the first few days i read this forum was also very "challenging" for me. But i get used to it now.

I think my wife should be short protocol. It is stated "antagonist" in the document. We are at SGH. I don't have the name of the BCP at the moment. I just talked to the doc, and confirmed that my wife will start the puregon injections this Sun, regardless of AF. The doc said everything already planned swee swee.

 

[bubbub]

Mushypie : what is the name of ur gynae if u dun mind me asking ?

 

[stunningapple]

Thank u chris for yr reply.
How many days or immediately on the same day of the transfer u took the an tai yao?

 

[stunningapple]

Thank u positive for yr reminder

What do u advice

 

[reddesk]

Stunning apple: start the next day of trsf. Take for 2 days and break 1 day.

 

[stunningapple]

Hi chris,

Why is there for a break? Is it iinstructed by tcm?

 

[stunningapple]

Hi Chris,

So i have to c the tcm on the next day after transfer?

 

[reddesk]

Stunning apple: is there a Tcm that u are already seeing? I think it's better to check with your Tcm.. Different physician have different way of doing things.. Silly me.. It didnt occur for me to ask you; was just replying your questions

 

[mesara]

Thanks babysteps n min. Ya vaginal scan where they put liquid inside. Procedure was ok but the after procedure the pain killed me.

I don't knw due to internal scratch or what. Super bad cramps. After one hr then subside. Even iui not pain.

Anyway thanks ladies

 

[dreamirene]

Ladybuggy, hugz hugz...i am sorry to hear that...pls stay strong..u still hav a snowbie waiting for u..rest for a few mths and come back trying again..that's wat i am trying to do too.. Dr zou did mention before that sometimes FET hav higher chances because our body is free fr all the injections..so do stay positive!

 

[usagi_2011]

Hugs, Ladybuggy. I know how you feel, having failed 2 fresh myself. Cry it all out to release the pain then contine this tough journey. Continue your Tcm and or supplements. Who knows, you might strike naturally!

 

[dreambear]

Ladybuggy, hugs hugs! Many of us failed before and came back stronger. Jia you ya.

Pregnyl jab checked! Yeah, tmr no more injection le!!! My butt now v pain n walking like a duck.

 

[kum_yin]

Asiafighter, BNB, Min81, Chris, Jelly and Babystep - thank you so much for the well wishes for tmrw. Am really nervous.

Ladybuggy - hugs hugs. You have done your best this round. Keep yourself well and come back stronger for the next round.

 

[reddesk]

Kum Yin: understand cos I would be too since next is my turn.. But still be strong to face whatever may come JY!

 

[mushypie]

bubbub, our ivf gynae is dr hema from sgh.

 

[mesara]

Ladybuggy hugs. When the going gets tough, only the tough can get going. We r the tough ones fighting for that one miracle to be in us. Rest well and jia you gal.

Kumyin n chris, all the best for tomorrow. Pls spread Babydust.

 

[chevynox]

Ladybuggy, hugz! Give urself some time to heal okie. May u strike naturally!

 

[agar2]

mushypie, may i know why u choose this doctor from sgh?

 

[sunstillshines]

Chris, when I read your sentence about be strong to face whatever may come, I imagined that you take a cloth and tied on your head and there is a word "ren".

 

[sunstillshines]

Mushypie, there is a gap between 18 Mar to 24 Mar. Am I right that your wife's af came during this period?

I think the doctor is using the BCP to take control of her cycle and then after that dr can determine when to start the stimulation jabs.

 

[mushypie]

sunstillshines, my wife's AF had not come as of today.

jelly, dr hema was recommended by my wife's long-time gynae of 10 years. He used to work in sgh's ob dept and knows dr hema. So far we are happy with her.

 

[bubbub]

Hey mushy : oh dr herma and U should be in very good hands then. She came highly recommended to my fren through our gynae too.... Just place your faith in her, she knows what she needs to do

Kum yin : jia you! All the best!

DreAmbear : enjoy ur jab free days! I find my stomach bloated even more after the trigger !!! Haha

Sunstillshjnes : haha u are funny in your comment to Chris!

 

[asiafrighter]

Lady buggy, hugz hugz ....
I also think my chances are slim ....sigh.

Hopes - I also been taking L-Arginine and DHEA and many more supplement.....hahahaha.

I heard fm dr Sheila (raffles) told me that SGH is very good in doing natural ivf, maybe I will go there if I failed again. Mushypie, do u mind to share who is your wife gynae?

 

[reddesk]

Sunstillshines: if there is a "like" button to your post, I would click it!! Haha.. Made me laugh!!

hubby also ask me what I
am reading that I m laughing .. Hehee!

Mushypie: I agree w sunstillshines. BCP is to control the cycle I believe too.

Sara: my BT is next mon. Thanks in advance

 

[asiafrighter]

Mushypie, sorry didn't read your earlier post.

How is dr hema?

 

[agar2]

mushypie, previously there was a lady who went thru ivf with her.

Can u on yr pm?

 

[sunstillshines]

Chris, I also want to laugh when that imagination of tying a cloth with the word "ren" came to my mind! hahaha...

Bubbub, maybe you have to take the ginger longgan drink to relief your bloatedness or take egg white or immunocal even better.

 

[sunstillshines]

Mushypie, do you know what stimulation jabs will your wife be getting?

 

[dreamirene]

Asiafighter, aiyo...dun give up yet...which stage r u at now? y do u say that kk is good for natural ivf? isnt there nothing much to be done for natural ivf??

 

[sunstillshines]

good night!

 

[reddesk]

Sunstillshines: I show my hubby your post and he is amused also.

by the way, how do u post smilies? Maybe I use iPhone so can't see the smilies option.

 

[kintsukuroi]

Hi hi min/ vivian/ vicki/ sophia/ ferlyn and many more~

how u ladies been??

apologies that i havent been on whatspp with u all these few days cuz i left my hp in a cab few days back & is using a non smart fone now =/



btw just 2 update my previous 2 follicles have led 2 8 eggs retrieved on tues. am so thankful for the increase tho i know the no's still on the low side.
anyway i going for my embryo transfer tmrw!!
pass some bb dust 2 me min hehe

 

[mushypie]

jelly, i don't know how to on my pm. I have read the posts of some of the girls who went thru ivf with dr hema and am aware of 1 negative and 1 positive one.

Asiafighter, so far we are ok with dr hema. We both felt she put in the efforts to explain things to us. Sometimes my wife seems abit emo, dr hema thought she's crying and tried to console her.

sunstillshines, my wife will be starting on 225iu puregon jabs this sunday. I am the designated jabber and had went through the training by the nurse.

 

[asiafrighter]

Sunstillshines, is SGH .......doing natural ivf the timing must be very accurate. I don't kwn la, dr Sheila told me this matter.
9dpt2.......also no feeling no symptom mah. Better prepare myself emotionally first and plan for the next step.
Dr hema sound nice....heehee

 

[agar2]

mushypie, ok..nvr mind.

have u tried google online what is antagonist protocol? it's probably another type of ivf protocol.

When in doubt, i think best check with your doctor. i m sure yr doctor know what is best for you guys.

 

[reddesk]

Sara: I like these words u said ytr, "When the going gets tough, only the tough can get going".

Mushypie: do encourage your wife in this journey. There is a right or wrong way but good to be positive and strong for whatever may come. May your baby dream come true!

Jelly: antagonist is short protocol.

 

[babystepsrainbow]

Asiafighter - Don't give up, a lot of people got zero symptoms and had their bfp.. By right, 6 weeks onwards is the normal period where u start getting symptoms... Jiayou.. I always remember nitro bro who always say his wife has no symptoms and his wife don't feel pregnant but on bt day, they sprinkled baby dust on us! Stay positive! Although I also getting abit kan cheong as OTD nears..

I was wondering.. During trigger, we were injected high dose ofhcg and if at that point of time, those hcg did not give me any reaction (aka no nauseousness etc), does that mean my body not so affected my hcg at that dosage ie during this 2ww if my babies are producing hcg le, I wont get any symptoms yet cos this period still not very high? Random thought... does it make sense?

 

[lainelaine]

Kum yin, gd luck! baby dust baby dust!

 

[bubbub]

Asiafighter : dun give up yet!!! You may be trying to manage your expectation here after the BT results but its too early to conclude. For those who did hpt and found negative before BT is probably going through what u been through so we know... It's not easy but let's all try ok?

Btw I have no symptons too ( the last round i can listerally checked agst all the symptons of a preggy woman) and I also thot this time maybe gone case ....but outcome ain't going to change no matter how I think so 平常心 and see where this takes us ok?

Later I am going Mac to reward myself for a big breakfast breakfast haha .... Just happy thots

 

[reddesk]

Baby steps: yes it make sense

another thing to note since u mention this.. Hcg injected efficiency decreases over time but hcg made by placenta increases with time hence I guess that's what causes the sustained associated "pregnancy symptoms" gradually as weeks progresses. But different individual have different sensitivity levels reactions to that, especially during initial phrase so you are right- make sense

Bubbub: yummy!

 

[dreambear]

Kum Yin, good luck for ur BT. Waiting for ur bb dust.

Hanahuiyi, me got lesser than u wor. My scan shows 7 beautiful follicles. My ER is tmr.

Thank u positive first ur early well wishes. I had a very good night sleep after e hcg trigger last night. Yawn.....

Bubbub, Big breakfast sounds nice! I hv craving for fish ball noodles. Later I go n eat.

 

[bubbub]

Dreambear : I got cravings for a lot of food...Kekeke I mean here is our chance to get our hubby to be our 'slave' and listen obediently to what we want right....??

Are u feeling better?

 

[elaine77]

Kum Yin, Good luck for your BT

Hey sisters.. too many nicks for me to trace back... pai seh.
Thank you all for your kind words, it's a tough journey for me after TTC for at least 6-8yrs. Its not easy for myself esp my parents gave me pressures thats why i didnt tell my parents this time round. Im glad that i did the right decision to tell them. I only told my sis and 2 of my gfs that im doing this FET cycle. So this channel is the only place that i can share my thoughts and worries. Oh yah..yest i called kkivf to check on my lining, its 11mm before ET and its triple lining, supposedly to be ok for implantation. Comparing to my fresh cycle, it actually improved alot, well i guess no fate with my babies yet. My hubby says.. our babies are still lining up, very kind hearted and allow pple to cut q.

Asiafighter, too early to conclude anything though, keep the good vibes there.

 

[asiafrighter]

Dream (dreamirene)- , is SGH .......doing natural ivf the timing must be very accurate.
9dpt2.....

Baby' steps and hubbub, thanks you for the kind words.
I will try not to think too much but I think it will be tough. the mind is always the greatest enemy. just wanna get over it but the D day is only next week. Seem a long way to go

.

Ladybuggy, thanks, u jia you wor - your snow baby is waiting fr u.

 

[bubbub]

Hey ladybuggy: I was just missing u man and u popped out

Your hub is so funny and understanding, I bet u laugh when he said that.... ! I am same as u, this time round not many people know cos it's just unnec stress when things don't work out in our favor. I TTC for 10 years and a lot of docs said 你真能忍then I told them cos I am a 忍者... Haha. Your lining looks great too... My fren always tell me when the baby wants to come, no mattr how u tried to prevent it, it will come.i was conceived when my mum has that contraceptive coil in here and she was contemplating to abort me... Haha but I was still born! Think she is grateful now cos I was always talk cock sing song with her and my hubby is very filial towards her too... Haha! Jia you !

When are u going for your next cycle....?

 

[bubbub]

We need some baby dust here Lah!
