I am not too sure about this but don't worry and enjoy you 2WW. It may be a good sign, u never know.
Hope so, jumbo girl... Can't rem if I had that during my fresh.... Had a bit bloatedness a few days ago but has reduced today... Trying hard not to read too much.....
Dream Irene. I will be doing ET tomorrow.

Do you insert once a day or twice a day? I have started my insert since thursday. Already saw some white discharge coming out.

Did you "home bound" yourself for the first 5 days after ET?

Sunstillshines, my insertion is done twice a day but is norm for white discharge... Even when I urine.... I sort of home bound buti would still travel to n fro for acupuncture n to my mum Plc for rest... I rest better at my mum Plc n less boring...
 


Jumbo girl, Dreamirene.
did you both do med FET? What med were you given for the med FET?

Jumbo girl, how many times did you do acupuncture after your ET?

Sunstillshines, I did FET previously and was on Progynova, scan on day 10 or 11 and transfer 2 days later. Support med is utrogestan and progynova after ET. I am surprised the thawing process is on the same day as ET. Mine was thaw one day before. For my natural FET I did acu once after ET. For my recent medicated FET, I did not go for acu. Anyway both time also failed so I guess acu don't really play a big part. Embyro quality more important.
How's transfer today? Hope everything goes well and enjoy your 2WW girl.

Jumbo girl, you did a day3 transfer? Mine was a day2 frozen transfer. All the 3 embbies survived the thaw and they are all transferred.

Are you still in 2ww now?

Not many people come to this website after this website has been migrated because it does not feed the replies to our emails. :(

I do not know if it is consider day 3 transfer. Congrats on your successful ET. Your embbies survive the thaw and they are fighters.
Yes I agree that smh has been very quiet. Are you going to cook on your own in 2WW?

Jumbo girl,
I will try my best to cook for myself. But cooking every meal is really a hassel.. I need to go and do marketing.

Yesterday dinner, I eat out. This afternoon lunch, dh brought back. Tonight will cook dinner.

Do you cook every meal? How many days are you now after the transfer?
 
Hi dimolc,

I have been asking God why he's punishing me as well. Everyone else seems to be getting pregnant so easily, even Kate Middleton got pregnant in less than 1 year with the Royal Baby.

So far God has not replied and has not talked to me. There are so many of us in the same boat. I feel so left out by his blessings right now.
 
Hi dimolc and pinkbunny21, I'm new here and I'm also having the same problem as both of you but I'm still trying so don't give up. Let's jiayou together
 
Ching, jiayou! i1bb has spread lotsa bb dust on you!
happy.gif


Yes, busy but happy. Can't complain. Haha...

When are u planning your next cycle?
 
1BB congrats! I had one failed fet and one failed et and am trying again oct. really hope to get a lots of bb dust from here. Each time it failed and I' m so sad and crying like hell. I really longed to have a baby as then our life be consider in full
 
Sunstillshines, I am not in 2WW but doing my fresh cycle with KKH. I am not good at cooking but will try some simple meal for my 2WW.

Jasbran, persevere and one day you will have your baby.
 
jumbo girl thank you for the encouragement. I'm trying real hard... Ever since my last attempt last year in march and I'm seeing Chinese doctor to bu my body. I'm been seeing the famous doc Chen xuemei and in April,I have changed to ma guang xu li li till now and am trying to do another left over et in oct and if it failed and I will have to start a new cycle. Financially and mentally stressed
 
My doctor is Matthew lau in kkh and he suggest to unfreeze all 5 embryo and pick the best out from there and will do a womb stretching for me before the et but I'm so angry tat why din he suggest to do it on my second attempt and only suggested now? Anyone heard of womb stretching to let the embbies to at least had a higher chance to stick n the lining? Do brazil nuts really help and do we still eat it after the et?
 
Jasbran, how many did u retrieved in your first cycle? U have 5 frozen which is very good.
Womb scratching u mean? I guess its a new technique n seems like kkh is encouraging patient
to do it. There is no guarantee it will work but no harm trying. Brazil nuts is to help with implantation
n u can eat after your ET. When are u starting your cycle?

Hello Ladies. I have been a silent reader on this thread. Am on my 2ww 10 post transfer on 3d embryo. A little history, DH and 1 have been TTC for 2 years and I have embarked on this IVF journey with Prof PC Wong at NUH. Am at my wits end with whats going to happen on Wed when I go for my BT. I've had lower back pain and white discharge but other than that have absolutely no symptoms. My BB were a little sore but otherwise no symptoms at all. Anyone here on the same cycle as me? What are your symptoms? :)
 
hi ladies, its been a while since my last failed fresh cycle in jul. Does anyone experience late AF subsequent to the failed ivf? my usual is 28-29 days now is already day 36 and AF not here. Tried to do a hpt using bought from those online kits but neg. Is it too early to test or its just hormonal change?
 
Hello all, I am new to the forum, I have some questions. A bit of my background, I have done fresh cycle previously and had a chemical pregnancy, Dr Sadhana, told me to rest for 1 cycle before proceeding to do FET. I done my FET last mth bt fail. I am hoping to do my fresh cycle again this mth but the nurse said must wait till Sept.
Do you all face such situation? I thought if we do back to back the chances are higher? Those that have bfp, did you have to wait for another mth before proceed to do another cycle? Is KKH always like that? have to rest for 1 mth then can do again? Hope about other hospital? I suppose private shld be back to back but I cant go private as it is too exp for me.
I also like to know for those who have bfp, how many cycles have you done? Is the gov 3 fresh and 3 FET sufficient? I have to prepare for the worst case.
And also if age is 36, can we transfer 3 Embryos? I hope to give twins then can close shop :p

Jumbo girl, can I check what is the proceed like for womb scratching? When should this be done? I have endometriosis, will there be any impact?

Love.bb, did you do a med FET? If yes, most likely your doc want to ensure that your cycle go back to normal after that failed FET. There are still med inside our system and need time to flush out first before you do a fresh cycle.

Mui, I think it it quite norm to have delayed af after a failed cycle.. I suggest you make an apptmt to see your doc or go to see tcm doc. Each of them will have a way to help you.

Jumbo girl, it seems like it is the 'In' thing to do womb scratching. I have asked my doc about this when I did my scan before my FET. She told me that womb scratching is for those who has problem for growing the lining. Also it depends on the skill of the doc. If not careful, it may leave scars on the womb and make implantation impossible.
 
jumbo girl thank you for the encouragement. I'm trying real hard... Ever since my last attempt last year in march and I'm seeing Chinese doctor to bu my body.

Thanks Jasbran! I guess your doc will know what's best for you. It may not necessarily mean what was done during your previous attempt will be the same for now. Trust your doc and pray to God that your wish will come true. Keep yourself calm and don't be stress ya... think happy thoughts... jia you!
 
Sunstillshines, yes I did med FET. So natural they will do back to back?
Love.bb, logically, naturally they will do back to back.

However, for restructured hospital, it depends on the apptmt available right?

For me, I have not done any natural FET yet.

Just my 2 cents worth, it is better to have good rest before going for the next attempt because doing ivf is mentally, emotionally, phsically and monetary draining....

Hi CMR, i thought your symptoms look pretty positive..i have heard of sis saying sore bb is a symptom..i am also currently in 2ww...today is in fact 10dpt5t but my blood test is on this Fri..i don hav much symptoms other than a bit of backache and uncomfy at the top of my ribcage..dun look out for any particular symptoms..they will only stress you...jia you and good luck for Wed...

Hi mui_yoh, i think it is a norm for AF to be delayed after failed ivf..my af came 1-2 days later after my ivf failed in Jan..however, my AF in Feb was delayed till about 59 days although my usual cycle is only 35 days.. just wait and see...i believe it will come..it is prob due to the leftover hormones in our body

ya the Doc appt very pack, only available in end Aug therefore new cycle can only start Sept.
yes it very stress but I just want to know will the chances be higher if it is done back to back? or chances are equal.
so far how many cycles have you done?

Love.bb, I have done 2 fresh cycles. First fresh cycle, I had 12 frozen embbies which translated to 2 med FET.

I had done my 2nd fresh cycle, ER in May this year. Now in 2ww for my first FET from this cycle.

I am not sure if there is any medical journal that proved that doing back to back FET can have a higher success rate. There are many factors that contribute to the success: grading of embryos is one aspect only. Another aspect is whether the embryos can stick onto the lining.

Even if you prefer to do another FET immediately, you still need to wait for af to come. I gathered from many sistas here (including myself) that af will not come on time after a failed med FET. The body is still trying to adjust to the changes because of the med used.

Love bb, I did first fresh cycle at TMC, it was a chemical pregnancy and thereafter the doc said I can start a fresh cycle on the second normal AF. On the second AF, I did another fresh cycle, the results were bad and after discussion with the doctor, we cancelled the cycle. Then I left my job and decided to see Dr Sadhana instead and she advised to complete 2 cycles and start on the 3rd cycle. This is to let the ovaries have sufficient rest. I think no harm waiting if can get better results, I will be doing the fresh cycle in sept.

Both doctors do not advise to do back to back as it puts too much stress on the body and hence results may not be optimal.

For TMC, you cant use gov grant right? if its gov grant, will it be considered as -1 if it is cancelled? if like tt 3 times nt engf :(
I was thinking as I have low reserve, will my reserve be lesser if keep delaying?

Hi lovebb, I did my first fresh cycle in May but was cancelled for transfer due to ohss. I wanted to transfer the frozen the next mth but my Dr strongly objected. He wanted me to wait for at least 3 mths of rest. But u was very impatient and didn't want to waste time waiting. So I managed to bargain to a 2 mth rest. After my 2nd cycle, I was given the needs to priced for fet. But in d24 scan, my scan shows that the ovaries are so not settled and my bt shows rising progesterone which is not good for implantation. So Dr suggested to abort that cycle. Sigh. Add much as I was unwilling I decided to go ahead with my dr's advice. Cos in the end he was right to say that my body need at least 3 mths to settle down before proceeding to prepare for the next transfer. I think it's good to wait and be patient. You and the dr also want the best environment for the embroyos to be implanted. Just be patient and I think the dr will know best. Just sharing my experience from someone who wants to take things in my own stride :) all the best ! I'm going for my fet this sat finally!
 
For TMC, you cant use gov grant right? if its gov grant, will it be considered as -1 if it is cancelled? if like tt 3 times nt engf :(
I was thinking as I have low reserve, will my reserve be lesser if keep delaying?
TMC cannot use gov grant. I also have low reserve, but I think a month or two will not make a big difference. For my second cycle, I grew very few eggs hence it was aborted and the doc attributed it to the ovaries not rested enough. Like xxhazel, I was bit impatient and rush into it. Even for this 3rd cycle I asked Dr Sadhana if I could do it at the second month, she firmly say no. She said what is one more month if the results can be drastically different. and she said it is worth the wait.
 
Thks ladies. All your advices made me feel at ease. This thing have been in my mind for few weeks, keep thinking whether what I will be short change cz each cycle I need to wait. Mayb I am too impatient as time is ticking and I am still walking in circle.

sunstillshines, enjoy your 2ww, hope to hear good news!
babylovely, we might see each other in sept :)
xxhazel_nutxx, all the best to your FET this sat.
 
Hi dreamirene - thanks for the encouragement. Every small symptom is driving me crazy :) Fingers crossed for BFP! Jia you to you too!!
 
Hi Ladies,

i'm back from my BT... It's BFP! Yeay!! Now going to pray hard that my pregnancy goes smoothly... Can't wait for the 1st scan in 2 wks time.... *sprinkles lots of babydust to all of you*

Stay positive ya... Jiayou!

Congrats to you....!!!!!!!!! Grabbing your baby dust!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Hi Sunstillshine...

Dr Zhao fracture her hand...this week can't do any accupuncture...is your appt being affected? They said Dr Miao...anyone knows about Dr Miao of Raffles TCM?
 
hi ladies..today is my 8DP3DT. i had very bad cramps yest, and suffered cramp attack the night before, which was 6-7PD3DT, suposedly implantation day. Could implantation pain be so severe??? i thought the pain is somewhat negligible cos an embryo is so tiny. Again im not sure if it is implantation pain, or that my AF is coming. I usu get such pain before it comes.

I so hope it is not my AF symptom.. has anyone experienced this and successfully BFP?
hi baby_sparkles, af symptom and bfp symptom is the same. As the nurse said, so long no spotting we are safe. jy jy
 
hi baby_sparkles, af symptom and bfp symptom is the same. As the nurse said, so long no spotting we are safe. jy jy
oh btw, I experience af like cramps at 11dp4dt and had a bfp. The cramps is due to uterus expanding for bb. :) Good Luck... spreading bbdusts......

HI baby sparkles - tomorrow is my BT and I have been having AF like cramps the past couple of days. I was quite worried as well but I've read on so many threads that AF symptoms and pregnancy symptoms are very similar. My boobs were sore on week 1 and this week nothing much. I'm really so nervous - fingers crossed for the best. Jia you to all of you on your 2ww :)

Baby_sparkles, seems like it is a good sign. :)

I guess it is quite unlikely it is AF.
