IVF/ICSI Support Group


The week of 24 is also an exciting week. Kitkats, Lynn candy and me having scans and meiling having blood test.

Meiling, don't worry too much (though it is hard). My last week of the tww felt the longest!!!!!
 
faithfullyours, hope the bt is doubling today and spotting stop.

meiling, you can do it. have faith in your blasts.

iloveshoes, you are indeed a shoes lover :) dont worry about the shoe sales, everything is worth when you get your bfp later on.
 
Dear sisters, here to seek some advice. If cyst detected, do u all opt to remove it immediately or wait and see? Last sat was my 1st day of my AF when the cyst is found. It's at left ovary. Loh suspects it's Hemorrhagic cyst, most likely endometriotic.
 
hi ladies..sumthing wierd juz happened..i had juz failed my IVF cycle on 4th march and had full flow of AF for 5 days..My HCG was 3.6... then on friday, i had spotting(brownish..)..I was so worried as it was only one week since AF ended...So today went to repeat HCG test although i know it was a negative previously..the result came out Positive...my HCG level is 158...How is that possible????What should i do now???Doesn't look viable as the level is low...Now m so worried..

it could be your 2nd embryo just implanted. shock but its true.
 
Santhiya, what did the nurse say? Did they give extra support and ask you to come back for bt again. If egg quality is good, hcg will continue to go up, then it should be ok!

If it stays constant or drops, then might be chemical pregnancy. But it means there is no problem with implantation.
 
Santhiya: one little embbie wants a fighting chance. Stay positive, eat well, wait for 2 days and go retest and pray very hard. Still in the game babe
 
Hooray!!!!! So happy for you!!! And yah, do late still don't call!!! You must be so anxious!!! That is a very big jump! From 250 to 1k!!! I think it is quite ok. No spotting is good!!!!

Walk less if you can!!!! So so happy for you!

i hope so...the level is so low...is it possible for embryo to implant after so long???
Click to expand...

can anything is possible. my 2nd embryo implanted when im suppose at 4th week coz could see sac only at 4th week but i was bleeding during 1st and 2nd week but with low beta but no sac was seen. When my 2nd embryo implanted my beta was 2300. But my sac stop growing but there is some fetal found. A week after i miscarried naturally.

Just take care of yourself during this time. You never know it could survive in ur womb.

Gigi3: re santhiya. good point. Santhiya, you had BD recently?

But it's still a BFP santhiya. Hang in there. And we are all hoping your hcg will double and all will be ok for a normal pregnancy.

I did BD last week on Tuesday..but it's too fast to say anything right..juz came back from KKH 24 hrs..nothing done..was told to come back tomorrow morning for a scan..even doctor finds it weird that my HCG can change from a neg to a positive..
 
Have Faith, I m with SGH Care with Dr Yu doing my first IVF. Actually I don't see Dr Yu often. So far only 2 times, the 1st time where she see us and 2nd time is for consent to do IVF. But I feel good in the nurses hands. I self inject Lurcin for 4 days already, taught by nurse Rachel. Usually I will ask the nurses if I have any questions, they are usually very friendly.
 
My 3rd & final IVF cycle .. I had ER 24 eggs today. Praying for good results from fertilisation. I requested ICSI for all 24 this time round. I had 21 the last cycle, they put 9 under ivf (natural fertilisation) and only 3 survived after blastocyst .. im thinking of transferring 3 this time. ?.

Sherryl, thanks.... I do agreed that the nurses at sgh is really great..... :)

Btw, did you ask Dr Yu what's ur success rate? Coz when I ask her, she say should be quite high as my tests results are fine. Even the Lurcin that I inject is quite little. So u should check with them.
 
I did ask her, she told me that my success rate is good as my results are fine too.... But just can't stop worrying.....
As I guess this is the last resorts to conceive....... But the nurses told me usually the success rate for the 1st time is not very high.....

So u will be on long protocol?
 
Have faith/ sherryl,

IVF assists up to the point of fertilisation, one step further than iui. The embryo then needs to continue to grow and implant into tjr womb lining and grow further. All these are out of doctor's hands. No point worrying. There is a cliche saying that is quite true - hope for the best, prepare for the worst. stay positive and good luck. Hoping that both of you will strike first try..but if it doesn't dont give up. Sometimes it just takes another few tries.

ron8129, I told myself to relax n be stress free for this IVF. After trying naturally n disappointed so many times, already got used to it. Hubby say I very brave can self inject n not complaint about pain. I always believe my turn will be here soon. :)
 

Hi ladies,

Just wanted to share my 1st IVF journey with Dr Stephen Chew from NUH. Went for my first beta today and it was a BFP at 508 (12dp5dt). My next appointment with him will be my 6th week scan and hopefully I can hear a healthy heartbeat. Spreading baby dust to all ladies who are trying and I urge you not to give up!!!! Stay positive. :):):)

A little background: I'm 33 and DH is 36. Both of us started trying since 2008 and have gone through countless tests with no issues. I do however have a 3cm cyst in my ovary. I had a failed IUI back in 2009. In 2011, I approached Dr Chew to enquire about IVF but figured I wasn't quite ready to take the disappointment if it fails so we held off again. In 2012, I went for a laproscopy with Dr Chan Kong Hon from Gleneagles to remove my cyst. We tried again to conceive naturally after that but still nothing. That was when I decided to revisit Dr Chew.

Embbies: 14 eggs were retrieved, 7 matured, 7 fertilised. By day 3, doc froze 3 "good" embryos. The remaining 4 were cultured further to blastocysts. On day 5 of ET, 2 were below average, 2 were satisfactory. Doc transferred 1 satisfactory into me on ET.

During the course of jabs, I was on a gluten free, dairy free diet. That means no white rice, no potatoes, no milk, yoghurt, cheese, etc. I am able to have brown rice, wholemeal bread with low GI, lots of vegetables and both red and white meat for protein, baby oat. Fruit wise, I had raspberries, blueberries, strawberries which I have been eating all along anyways. I also snack occasionally with corn chips dipped in avocado.

Since the IVF journey started, I have also been feeling bloated everyday and I feel so gassy. I belch and fart like a man....:eek:
