thank you i wantahealthybaby. true den another factor my only one embryo expiring in april 14. But by the time i do medicated and transfer will be in early may. The nurse actually help to call the frozen dept to check will they charge me for another a year $600 just to extend for few days? Nurse Karen in NUH are the best, she checked for me and they wont charge me for the few days extended. So to me its another sign for me not to proceed with the 6mm lining.
I already did so signing up the medisave for the natural cycle but since i cancel it thats why i need to pay $530+ for the 4 days scan and blood test i did. Then today i need to collect the medicine for the medicated cycle which will start on the first day of my cycle. That one i paid cash. I also forget to ask the nurse and since im at the pharmacy, i just go ahead and pay. Hmmmmmm
Congrats to all who bfp this week and sistas testing next week, may you join the bfp club too!
I may nd to give up #2 plan cos the polyps i hv is likely to affect implantation but dr doesnt advise removing. Feel so trapped. Some more now no grant and 2nd fresh can only use $5000 medisave. Not sure if its worth the time and money for such low possibilty.
You might want to get a second opinion on that. The ivf Dr can find a good place to place the embryos even if there are some polyps.
I had polyp and just did my fresh cycle again last yr.
Hi valteen my doc removed my polyps before starting ivf, quite a simple day surgeryCongrats to all who bfp this week and sistas testing next week, may you join the bfp club too!

Ya LoveG sometimes I see sisters say they have symptoms during tww but end up in bfn during bt. Maybe sometimes we are paying too much attention to our body till every tiny sign we find it's pregnancy symptoms. I am looking very hard to find the slightest symptoms too during this tww but didn. I have not conceive before so nothing for me to compare too. I hope I belong to the stronger group, body hard to feel any changes but it's slowly changing without me knowing...u also in tww?

LoveG, i m v sensitive to the development in my body. Esp when i hv been thru 3 pregnancies. In my 2nd pregnancy, i cld detect bb fluttering movement even before 13 wks. Initially, i thought i imagined it. But dr loh assured me i m not.
When i had v light stains at 19 wks pregnant on a monday morning in first pregnancy, i felt uneasy though my gfs w kids told me i walked too much over the wkend n is common to stain abit. But i was right to feel uneasy. I lost my elder daughter. I had same spotting at 36 wks in my 3rd pregnancy, but i didn't feel uneasy.
I just did a back surgery to remove a cyst. The dr did a deep and long cut. After 1.5 months i complained tt my back felt bruised internally though no visible blue black n the wound was healing well. He commented tt i was v sensitive to feel the nerves growing back n interlocking with the inner muscles!
In those months where we bother to try naturally during that ovulation window, i know there r activities in my womb after trying. Yes i can feel the discomfort! When that is over, i know too.
some pp are just more sensitive to their body. Dunno how to explain to u.

LoveG me doing natural fet so no medicine. Just cyclogest inserts twice daily. But that inserts did not give me much discomfort and symptons compare to utrogeston during my fresh cycle. Utrogeston inserts make me boobs super full really like preg and can see veins. Other than that no other symptons. During fresh the 1st week is bloated but may be due to the many stimulation injection I got and the egg retrieval so feel bloated. This natural fet only the first three days felt abit cramp at stomach other than that no more. So here I am counting down to a good Tuesday bt. Like Ron, praying for a good result.

[I posted this in another post but maybe some sisters her can help...]
Any Sister who hv done iui, anyone did natural iui (ie no meds at all).
- Do we just monitor OPK then if positive call dr to make appointment?
- Will the iui be done on day tested positive on OPK?
- Any scans done before that? Or only scan on OPK +ve day to check lining?
- Can anyone share how much was your iui, esp if anyone did private?
Going for my 4th fresh in june/july since this round busted. Keeping my balance 2 embbies for future FET as I do hope we can hv 3 healthy babies. 38 nxt month so cannot wait any longer. We have male factor so never did iui but I want to give that a go before the 4th fresh. At least higher chance than just BD naturally while waiting (I think)
Any suggestions/thoughts most welcomed.

Ron : my thoughts are ivf give you the best chance since ET is a fertilised embie already. Why want to spent money on iui. Also why waiting till July for another cycle ? Every month is different.
LoveG. : u r the only person I know going for 4 kids via ivf, esp. If u have singletons for all. Admire your patience ! How old r your kids ?

Ron I did 6 rounds of iui with dr Eunice Chua before going KKIVF. That is like 6 years ago. Remembered checking for ovulation, and she will scan for eggs, dun remember she scanned for lining thickness as I only knew lining is impt when I did ivf.
The cost that time is around $100 plus. But I think chances the same as natural bd
Ron checked my bills, cost is about $208. Given clomid, pregnyl injection, porgy nova, utrogeston and scan
And then on iui day, $160 for the process and another $160 for semen preparation. And saw hand written note, once LH detected iui next day.
Hmm not cheap....add together $500

Bubbly: I guess for me... I hv put in 9 embbies over the last 3 years. Only 1 took.. hehehe so my embbies and body didnt really get the memo on completing the journey. Just wanted to see how else I can try in these next few months since waiting anyway. I am getting desperate and wondering if any doctor will do this for me knowing the chances r practically close to zero & throwing money. But if not too expensive, I tot why not? In the end the money I can earn back if I work hard, time I can never get back.
As for waiting,I did a medicated fet this round with stim meds. Taking a few months to let the meds clear off the body and reset itself before going for nxt fresh.

Bubbybear my elder already in p5, still have few frozen embryos left, Singapore don't allowed to donate and heart pain if discard, so they are now in my tummy, hopefully can stick well this time.
Ron my iui with clomid cost me nearly 2k at glenaegle, kinda expensive iui. We are quite similar case, husband problem, quite low chance to success in iui. During my first iui, I have 6 folicies size between 20 to 22mm with good lining, doctor didn't suggest to convert to ivf because he don't do ivf, yet still failed. So-iui also failed.

LoveG your number 1 is through ivf too? Do you bed rest for your 2ww?
I am back to daily routine since day 1 except not carrying my gal standing.
Student felt very ill prepared for this FET...
Ron : even if u do iui, also need to stim, no diff from ivf. Try to be zen, I know easier said than done. But who knows u might have good news these few months.
LoveG : u have good embies, so many successful cycle. Your hard work will be rewarded !
Hazel : u go USS with your gal ? Can't take her on many rides. Have fun !

Hi
I did iui last year in mount e - only clomid And duphaston - no injections - no scan to Check lining only OPK ans once OPK positive they inseminate the day after Cost around 600$ if i remember correctky
But i would not consider it this is so useless no scanning no proper monitoring of follicule numbers for me it was a waste of Time money energy

Yes bubbly leaving it to nature! But when I compared this cycle and the previous FET... Really different. Last FET go accu, eat Brazil nuts, keep warm no cold drinks for 3 months etc...Gan : u are doing well. No need to prepare, there is nothing to be done, leave it to nature.

Bubbybear thanks, are you cycling now?
Gan, 1st and 2nd conceived naturally, Before that one MC at 8weeks, me too didn't really control my diet for this FET, I even went for sashimi every alternate day until one day before ET, now hope I will ban for sashimi for the next 9mths...haha! Did you put heat pad on tummy during 2ww? Any symptom for you this round?

Bubbybear, belle has been to USS a few times since oct last yr. For the rides, min height requirement is 85cm. Actully, other than mummy, transformer and the water ride, the rest she can play now. She is tall for her age. Today, she passed the next height requirement of 92cm and ride canopy flyer for the first time.. i was wondering if she will freak out when up there n start to cry... i overheard a lady asking her companion how come such a small toddler can take the ride. Anyway, she didn't cry! AFter the ride, a young lady told me she was scared up in the sky.. how come belle didn't even cry! Ha! Actually, my heart was in my mouth during the ride! Must admit that i am old already...
All the performance, she watches too. The light and sound effects do not scare her at all.
SHe has also been to Osaka USS and thoroughly enjoyed it! I bet she will love disneyland even more. Maybe coz since very young, we bring her together on all our trips, so she is more daring n exposed. Not just rides, she survived bitter cold London last yr at 14 months old too.

LovrG u really love children, I don't think I will go through ivf if I have 2 kids naturally. No symptoms now. But for my first I also dun have any symptoms.
LoveG dr Loh prescribes utrogstan for me, but I dun have such effects. Only have headache last 2 days but likely due to lack of sleep
What symptoms do you have?
Hazel is it crowded on a Sunday in USS? Need to wait long for the rides? I bought discounted tickets for USS , thinking of bringing grace there. Not sure how is the waiting time like during weekend.

Gan, today is a good day. Not the packed w pp USS. But still Popular rides still need to q 45 mins coz the kids love these rides.. eg the 4 wheel drive, dino soaring n canopy flyer. I cant take the q in SG hot weather. So, we always get the express passes. On a crowded wkend, such as school holidays, express passes may still need to wait for 15mins. For non sch holidays like today, no need to q. We reached there at 1230pm. Including, lunch n walking around, we were done w the rides by 330pm. Ie, abt 7 rides n one performance. Didnt watch donkey live n water show. If not, wld hv completed all the stufd belle can enjoy.
Btw, we hv annual pass w express.
