I got this qns in mind cos I see other TCM don't prescribe herbs during tww unless necessary. My acu told me usually an tai herbs prescribe if detected low hcg. I am taking TSB herbs and seeing another acu occasionally.

im juz wondering, since ivf eliminate male infertility problem, do the husbands still need to go tcm if we have already decided for ivf??
I was told not to take dang gui in first tri by Dr Zou if i get BFP...
Well, everyone hope to succeed naturally before ivf and even after ivf for a 2nd kid. If there is a chance for male infertility to br resolve so that the wife need not go through the pain again, then i see it is good for husband to go for treatment too.

I think iamababydreamer meant they have already decided on ivf (for whichever reasons that are valid for them).
IAABD, If you trust that your sinseh can help your hubby to improve sperm quality,then of course you may continue. A booster for the army is surely good as good soldiers are picked during ivf. Tcm may improve the sperm quality either way. Or I may also suggest multivits and zinc and CoQ10 and L-carnitine for your hubby if he's not into tcm.
For me, I stopped tcm once I embarked ivf because I don't want to run up and down to my tcm anymore and just focus on my ivf. I'm glad I did because i feel so much relaxed without having to overload my mind too much on ttc.

Hi, I saw him for 2 cycles and paused for lap. Cos dr Loh discourages it. Tan ks treatment for Ivf is daily acupunture during stimming. I will go back to him once stimming startsgood to hear that, how abt urself? i m the one to see him, my hubby so far went twice nia, he does not like the needles n med hehhee

Hello All,
It has been a very long while since I last posted.
Been trying since 2010 and only succeeded in my 3rd fresh cycle under Dr Foong of Gleneagles last year. Delivered my baby girl who will be turning one month tomorrow.
Will be returning 100 eggs at the temple at Sengkang (beside the Buddhist temple and another Hindu temple) tomorrow morning. Took 2 red eggs from this temple from a couple who returned Zhu Sheng Niang Niang's blessings.
Good luck and baby dust to all.

Thanks mesara. Oh is your bloat due to the ET or still from the ER?
I think at some points I was going nuts when yesterday I went to toilet when home to do big and small business. Kept thinking if will push embies out or not. I better get out of the house for a little walk else will go crazy.

I used to buy from this http://bbshop01.blogspot.sg/, she is very responsive and her delivery very fast like within 3 days... Q0010 suppliers may be overseas, please make sure when you can rec'd the strips with the seller first before you buy from them..
but I just went in to her site, she is closed from Wed 30th Apr to Tues 13th May. I still have a handful of strips, you want i can send to you at no cost...

Not for me... but even with clear blue I also see the smiley face once ... i think i can gauge better with my EW mucus
i have a fellow mummy who swear by the strips and she keeps the strip daily to see the pattern...
Suspect Bloat due to er. But it's getting better. Will u be going for progesterone bt??
My last cycle was a short one n I had super sore boobs n tummy gassy n pain. This long cycle feel v different. Other than tunmy bloat no symptoms. No aore boobs kindof worries me. Dont knw if due to long suppression progesterone low thus like this....
Santhiya I used the test strips before n it did detect ovulation. All the best to u.

Hey everyone!
@mesara and @portia3 - So glad to hear everything went well with your ER & ET. Hope all goes well for your 2ww!
My 2ww is coming to an end! My blood test is finally tomorrow!
So far here's what i had during the 2ww.
1st - 3rd Day after Transfer:
Cramps and twiinges at my abdomen area. I still go out for dinner and to my mum place. But i make sure i don't walk too much. No shopping trips for the 1st week.
Most of the time i rest at home but i don't lie down all the time. Had really long vivid dreams. Must be all the medications.
4th - 7th day After transfer:
I start to have heavy discharge. Very creamy lotiony type of discharge. Very little cramps. I was starting to wonder if it is even gonna be successful but i kept my hopes high.
8th - 10th Day After Transfer:
Cramps started again. But other than that it's quite uneventful. I've not had any implantation bleeding so far.
i also had one night where i had a bad indigestion and could only sleep at 5.00am.
9th - 11th Day of Transfer:
Craving for oily & grubby food. Got quite bloated and gassy. Kept burping and passing wind. It was quite embarassing actually.
But they said bloating & being gassy is normal cos of all the progesterone inserts. Got very tired easily. In the morning, i'll have this slight headache which will eventually go away.
Today is my Day 12 of transfer and i hope we get a good beta for tomorrow's blood test!

deardyan update on your BT result tomorrow. Did you poas before that? All the best and hope it's a bfp!
For me, my BT is on a day when hubby is away on biz trip. So we can't get through this result day together. Therefore, I plan to poas on 11dp5dt which is the day when he's flying. We want to do this test together.

@Hlixian , @portia3 Yes im thinking of going back to Dr Loh, must prepare in terms of $$.
@janices , my 1st & 2nd ivf was under Dr Roland Cheng SGH, but he left to open his own at Eastshore. SGH nvr informed us of the changes. When i failed my 2nd ivf, they said Dr Yu will talk to me. She cant figure out why i failed so i changed to Dr Loh. However, halfway Dr Loh shifted to Thomson. I did follow up but when i decided to do the 3rd ivf, my GP persuade me to go to Prof. A decision which i regret.
@holidaygal & @mesara, thks for the encouraging words
@ron8129 i was wif Profesor PC Wong from NUH. He does not help people with low reserve.
Thank you all for the encouraging words and experience. Hoping one day i will have my own kid. Its not an easy journey for us. . I will tiao my body before proceed anything else cos frankly im tired of all the drugs injected in my body making it go haywire. Certain times i still have dizzy spells and my womb feel uncomfortable. But that is the price we have to pay.
Jia you to all still trying and congrats to those who BFP.
