I would like to thank all sisters here for the advise when i needed most yesterday especially nikomichi, LoveG, iwantahealthybaby and denmeg!

Today scan reveal my lining has increase from 3mm(yesterday) to 6-7mm today!!!! My follicle size is at 18mm now. Really hoping for it to increase to another 2mm and also ovulate by tomorrow. Its only been two days of scanning, i feel so tired. Rushing back to work somemore. Tomorrow taking half day morning for the scan. So stress taking time off from work.

Today will be gobble more red bean, more raspberry tea and brazil nuts!!! Wish me luck people for tomorrow.

Dear @babydusty , mine is a natural fet too! my d8 is 4 and d12 only 4.7. I am in a panic mode with you as well. Same like you, I ate brazil nuts and drink red bean soup yesterday. So today I will buy raspberry tea. Lol, I hope tomorrow my scan will increase in lining.

@nikomichi & @martinieliz , congrats!
 
babydusty, no problem. its a good wednesday for you too. same like mine, last few scans the lining increase 3mm to 7+ and by time ovulate the lining should be there already. remember to test for ovulation from today onwards. me more kiasu i tested twice per day, 1 in the mrn and 1 at night. better use the smiley face clear blue one. once it smile back at you means lh surge detected. this way no chance of missing lh surge.
 
Babydusty so happy for you, at least your lining is catching up, dont worry, your lining will keep growing up till nice tickness for your embryo.

@iwantahealthybaby, thanks! I am in the midst of digesting this news. Still unbelievable. Actually, I don't have much symptoms as other sisters have. So, I thought gone case and was trying to calm myself down by planning a short trip after this week. I think have to cancel now because the nurse said I still spotting better don't move around till one month later.
 
nikomichi said:
Sisters,

I have something to announce. I went for BT test this early morning because of spotting and I just gotten my result. HCG 412 @ D17. The supposed BT test is tomorrow.

Actually, I have been spotting for few days but not in dangerous mode. However, I would like to emphasize if you are "spotting", please go and do your BT immediately to check on your hcg level. You may ask for IM Pregynl and oral tablet Duphaston supports at the same time. It is very important to salvage the situation. I believe there a lot of sisters here been advising the same thing and it is true.

I have a mixture of feeling now - unbelievable and happy! *(^.^)*

Congrats!!!!! Me too. Feeling shocked too. My first child is already 11 years old.
Mine probably late implantation. Now day 21st and we both have about the same hcg. Take care!!

Hugs, iwantahealthybaby! What I did for the past two weeks - eat and sleep plus reading. I guess bed rest more after I discovered spotting. I have been spotting for four days but very little spots not in dangerous mode. I learnt some tricks from US forum. Lift up your legs a bit supported by bolster and put a pillow at your buttock and lie down about 30 mins. If stop spotting, then lie down as usual on the bed. It works for me.
 
if its line opk your test line must be darker than control line than its lh detected. thats why i say better get the smiley one cause once smiley you see means its lh at the peak. during my natural fet i use clear blue normal opk, i got two lines but the test line always seems lighter by abit so i cannot confirm when i ovulate or whether if i miss it esp my lh detected quite late i thought i miss it. so i faster go buy the smiley face and after 2 test i manage to see it smiling at me.

i see. so during this tww you dont have any symptons too? no tiredness, no bloating, no frequent urination or sore boobs? i have non. more bed rest for you till your 1st scan....praying all the best for the next 9mths ahead.

if smiley you will need to go down hospital already, the nurse no tell you to test opk? once smiley you must go hospital that morning or next day and tell them when you detected the positive opk and they will calculate the day of transfer for you. expensive nevermind most important you wouldn want to miss the lh surge. the day of surge is important for fet as they need to count the day of transfer

@iwantahealthybaby, I think only day6 and day7 mild cramping like something want to poke out from buttock on and off. My first thought was I lay down too much on the bed. It could be implantation cramp?? After that, no symptoms till four days back spotting bit by bit. I don't have tiredness, no bloating and no frequent urination and no sore boobs.

Nope im under nuh. everyday see doctor one and scan. doctor also never test LH. they just monitor thru scan till ovulate. KKH easier hor doing natural fet. no need come down frequent scan.

Congrats nikomochi and martinieliz on yr BFP!!

Would love to know what you did for this cycle as in things u ate etc. Thanks!!

Thanks @sarah2012
I did my daily routine. No changes or any complete bedrest during 2ww. I only crave for ginger beer. Slight cramps, slight sore boobs. But it all disappear just a few days before bhpt. After the first bhcg, I have sudden bubbles in my tummy.
I didn't eat or drink anything special too.

i see than you should be in safe hands, since you going scan daily there is no way they will miss your ovulation. for kkivf they scan 3-4days apart during my natural fet so i might miss my ovulation thats why they require me to test opk myself. once positive faster go down and let them scan.
like that you dont need to worry about opk to use already can save money hehe

ohhh i prefer KKH procedure!!!
 
denmeg, since you are just a day away from BT the urine test is able to detect too even without using morning urine. but if you not gan cheong then just a day away from BT can wait also. good luck and hope more positive news here :)

@iwantahealthybaby , my doctor is Dr. Mathew Lau. Previous post about another sister whose embryo was stuck at the tube while ET, it happened to me too! I find that amusing at first but after that I was worried it may not survive. I transfered 2.

I have been under Dr sadhana for four years already..actually she is a good doctor..I used to work with her wen I was werking in KKH at the obstetric ward..although she has not much patients under her,most of the patients under her are well taken care of as in lesser complications in labour..but lately,a lot of complains abt her..even wen I go and see her,she doesn't talk much..she straight tells me what is the next step..my husband got so irritated with her wen she was talking to a staff regarding another patient wen I was lying on the couch for ET with full bladder..not only that..on ET morning,I had terrible pain where I almost fainted in the toilet..and wen I told her abt it,she told me that we can proceed with ET..and now I failed the cycle(dunno if it's connected to the pain..)..
Hopeful my FET turns out well..as that is my last resort..I will not be dong any more cycles after that if I fail..
Click to expand...

Santhiya86, I was under Dr S about 4years ago for my 1st IVF and which was unsuccessful.
I totally agree with you and mbbhopeful from what I understand her success IVF rate is pretty low in KKH.
I waited for her 2hours and her consultation given to me is only 5mins as she had to rush off for delivery (if I remember correctly)
Her assisted nurse is quite rude also. Imagine after ET, Dr S can ask to go shopping. I requested for a rest, she said no need. The embreeies will not flow out.
Since you dun BFP under her hands perhaps you want to change another gynae for your FET as all your records are with KKH. Dun waste this last chance.
Actually since Dr Loh had left KKH for his private practice, I thot Dr S may take over his position... but is Dr Tan HH who is so much junior than her instead.
Heard Dr Tan HH has golden hands and he is very patient and detailed gynae. I am currently with him ;)

@iwantahealthybaby I actually got a bit paranoid testing early as it always turn out to be negative even without af coming. This time I am just keeping my fingers crossed and let God handles. I will wait patiently.
 
Dr tan has been promoted to senior consultant

Sf loh was director and head of kkivf. This role has been split now between dr S n dr tan with dr S holding the director role.

In terms of seniority, dr S is more senior. As to whose role is more senior, cannot be compared n they hold different fns
