Babydream - I called up kkivf when I got my spotting.. They asked me to do a blood test which turned out negative so they gave me pills after consulting with dr s. Next round, dr s told me if I can take the shots but must go back to kk to do it.. She'll discuss with me once my cycle officially starts.. Because I had some problems during my first cycle and I'm high risk for PCOS she will be personally reviewing my medication during the scans..

If u think that u will be badly affected by the test then dun test... anyway ur bt shld be 1 more wk right? have u went for bt to test ur progesterone level? Try go n have a walk. Find things which can make u happy. Just do it!

yeah loh babydream, but read some other clinic does BT here for preggy but it's a pte clinic far away, mine is gov hospital clinic. I think best is to hv inserts or cream to boost progesterone level eating food think not effective enough. You currently on how many times and dosage of inserts?
babydream23
Member
i'm already doing my inserts leh.. Utrogestan 2 inserts 3 times a day. Dr Loh also prescribed me progynova. Then now have to jab. twice a wk for 2 wks. Funny thing is i was asked to jab on tt day when i take my bt too. Hmmmmm.... Leaving a big question mark..

Sara - Hello! We are likely to cycle together then! =) How have you been? Is this your first cycle? Sorry I haven been coming to the forum so not sure what are the updates.. I see many new nicks which is a good think! I hope the other familiar ones like Chris have all graduated!
Babysteps, i have been a silent reader here too after my failed iui. This will be my first fresh if all is ok. Do u have any snow babies? Have been actively compiling all the success stories and food sisters took in 2ww for bfps. This thread is certainly motivating.

Sara - Nope, no frozen.. My egg quality was very bad for my first cycle.. Took out 22 only 4 can be used.. The others "exploded" was what we overheard the embroylogist say to Dr S. And out of 4, only 2 fertilized.. So no snowbabies.. Back to fresh this time round.. Hopefully got better results with some changes in stimulation.. All the best to all of us!

Magical: I am feeling a lot better physically. No more bloatedness. Appetite back to being a cow. No more gastric. But I do have cramps for the last 4 days, getting more intense too, as if AF coming. Bust a little tender too. Tcm doc says not too good. Gave me medicine to an tai and reduce cramps but not working.
Supposed to rest in bed more. But my mind keep thinking what if bfn. So I decided to go out of the house instead of resting. Went to visit famiky, friends, supermarkets etc. Hahaha!
You dont get too discouraged with the hpt. I also keep telling myself, as long as AF not here, means we still have hope!
Babydream: you are in safe hands. Good that dr loh is following up closely.

Ladies, does anyone know what time kkivf closes? Can't seem to find their opening hours one the site.. TIA!
Magical, I'm with KK too. BT is next Tue but not gg to take HPT. Whatever it is still hv to go for BT right so might as well save the $ on buying HPT. I'm more coward ba and anyway my Hub don't encourage me to test. I'm without any sympthons just like my last few cycles but I still trust in my God that I will be fruitful so not gg to think about it.
Back to work today was hectic and mth end for me.
sit till backache and rush back home for inserts. Aiyo, y all my life so ke lian, I wonder.
Bb steps, KKIVF close at 5pm everyday.

Mei2: thanks
Positive/Sunstillshines/dreambear/Sara: I took more antioxidants this cycle; adding pcygenol and green food capsules. I stop taking conceive well cos green food has high levels of Vit A so to prevent overdose
In place, I took Vit E, omega 3 while continuing folic acid, CoQ, L-Arg & Vit C. I stop all TCM herbs and went on accupucture only with Dr Zhu (you can refer to the document) twice weekly and has accup right before and after ET. During stimulation, I did 30mins walk w my dog but not really everyday but was quite active moving around. I took immunocal w almond powder (cos it tasted so good!). After ET, I only took omega, folic acid, Vit C, immunocal and ensure. I took Brazil nuts from ET (and now, just to finish up the pack.. hehe) but I missed the crucial period of day 6-9! So the key is not to get stressed out. I also try to sleep early during stimulation onwards. Lots of praying and moral support from church friends too. For me, it's a realization that life comes from God and only He can give it. I try to be at peace w God and myself and giving thanks to Him for every difficult times. It gives me the strength to move forward and hope in Him.
I did almost a total bedrest almost throughout the 2ww. I have not much symptoms but did feel bloated towards end of 2ww and feeling giddy. When I feel anxious (yes I do!), I practice deep breathing to calm down
One thing I note is that follicles growing well is more important than having a lot of follicles. I did broken down when the sizes are different but realizing that this cycle is committed to God in prayers help. He is in charge. He open my eyes to see that the follicles that is growing well is more valuable and thanksgiving wells in my heart. Indeed, out of 6 retrieved, 5 matured and 4 fertilized. 2 were good and they are the most beautiful ones we had. We have 2 snow babies in this cycle too. This is our best cycle! God is faithful! Of cos, I am thankful to Prof for his professionalism and the dedication of the CHR staff, I am amazed too. Kudos to them! Also I am blessed by a lady in this forum with a real baby dusts too! Ya I can't believe myself too but something different I did. Haha.
Lin: my support is same this time as per 2nd cycle. Its 3dt. I have 3 snow babies.
Babybaby: I try my best and the rest is in God's hand.
Babydream: dr Loh prefer to have progestrone level abit higher hence the jabs, don't worry too much ya.
Babysteps: hey buddy, good to hear from you again.. I thought about you during this cycle, I wish all the very best in your July cycle. Chill ok.
Twinstars: pouring lots of ***baby dusts*** on you!! JY!
dreambear: I hope you get your BFP this cycle!!
ChrisL: Thank you!!
Indeed it has not been easy. We all trying for a chance to be mummy. God bless you with BFP this cycle ya! Rest well, it will be worth it
magical: don't give up the fight yet! I only tested at 11dp3dt cos I don't want to test early and discouraged myself. JY!
Sara: This is one place I have learnt a lot too!! Important is to follow what works for you (trial n error) because everyone is different so do what suit you best.
It's also important to keep up your faith because its really God's miracle when it comes to a new creation. Very grateful to God for sharing w us a new life and giving us the privilege to be parent.

Hi Chris, a big congrats!!
Enjoy the next 9 months ya.
Hi magical, don't be disheartened. I think it's too early to test. Just relax and take it easy till BT next week. Jia you
As for the progesterone test, KKH doesnt have a protocol to do the test, but if you are concern with your progesterone level, you can request for the test. I requested for the progesterone test after my BT. They were quite reluctant but i insisted and they relent in the end. It cost abt S$40ish.
Good luck, everyone

Positive: I really hope my sharing helps everyone to ease some of the anxiety that comes with IVF and be strong. There is really something we can do and some we have to admit that He knows better.
Hazelsarah: God deserves the credit.. I see His fingerprints everywhere and it is not right to keep this to/for myself. I believe you will have your BFP, pray and He will guide you. I am trusting Him for the rest of the journey and I can be rest assured He can be trusted ya
He knows how much each of us can bear

Hi ladies, it's such a familiar feeling to be back here. This is indeed a great place to find support and people-alike.
Congrats to Chris who had BFP. Looking forward to more BFPs here.
I did my first fresh cycle in 2010 and gave birth to my girl in 2011. Right now, I am undergoing FET. In fact, transferred two Day 5 embryos yesterday. I do not have a good vibe this time as I'm quite engaged with my girl and at times, tend to move quite a bit. Trying my best to let in laws help. Nevertheless, still hoping for the best. *fingers crossed*

Maomi: I am ok.. Giddy comes on and off.. NUH do not practice progestrone blood test during 2ww. This practice started in KKH and hence TFC but I think KKH has since stopped too unless requested. Info on assisted hatching here:
