Hi ladies,
I've been a silent reader all these while. This is my 3rd try with kkh (thh), doing 2nd fresh cycle. Just had my bt on wed (86.8) n did another one this morning (146.8)...
The nurse said its still very low and wants mi to go back on monday for another bt... Very worried now... Is it normal? Anyone in similiar situation before?
Did my ER on 5/5, ET on 7/5 and today is 16dp2dt... Sigh...

Yes. Both are PR. But can use medisave to pay up to 6k for first time.
Congrats, fluffychilli.
I started with low hcg too.
9dp3dt - 23
10dp3dt - 45
11dp3dt - 64
13dp3dt -104
14dp3dt - 116
16dp3dt - 314
19dp3dt - 1550
If you look at my number on 14dp3dt ( 1 day behind yr 16dp2d), it is lower than your 146!
Just retake again in 3 days and see if it increases.
Miaoling,
There is no way to increase hcg by food, drink or supplement. It is produced by our body naturally when we fall pregnant.
If there is any food, drink and supplement that can help increase, we dun hsve to be so stressed up already.

Hi Portia,
Thanks for your assurance! I'm now scrolling google trying to find out more if anyone else has similiar situation...
Coz the nurse told me i may get ectopic pregnancy which scared mi to death!

@ivy_tan_mf who is your gynae now?
@ivy_tan_mf who is your gynae now?
@FluffyChilli : I had an ectopic recently, but my reading was much lower than yours. stay positive and hope your next Beta doubles or at least increases.
Oh.. Let's sleep well, rest well, eat well.
Hope the next Tuesday pregnancy test will be get a good hcg result.
At least you do not have any bleeding or spotting. I had it from 9dp3dt. Ectopic pregnancy symptoms include low hcg, bleeding and bad cramps. I had 2 symptoms out of 3.
Am still trying to be positive since my hcg has gone up and bleeding tapered off already. Now lookinv fwd to my scan next week and hoping to see the sac and if possible, the heartbeats!
don't worry abt the BT, it will include checking if you're vaccinated against rubella and fastest results within 2 hrs if required.
myself was vaccinated as a child but ended up still hv to take a refresher jab. No choice.

Thanks, am so glad to be here. Very much a newbie here n nice that e more experienced ones are here to share n clears our doubts .
I read abt taking egg whites, red beans and some nuts during e 2ww? Actually what was the rationale behind these?
If I wanna seek tcm help, shd I do it before my ivf consult or concurrently

Hi Portia and MitchNg,
Thanks again... Guess the nurses kept saying my numbers are very low so it got me worried. I was spotting on off, with today the heaviest, and have been having pulls and cramps....
Like you, Portia, have been trying to keep positive too guess the road to motherhood will never be easy

If possible, start tcm immediately since you intend to go for ivf in the next few months.
Try to take more protein food (fish and white meat) rather than carbo. Green veg such as broccoli, kailan, spinach will be good. If possible, incorporate avocados and kiwi into yr diet. Cut down on sweet stuff and desserts. A good diet will help improve yr health.
My AMH of 2.7 is considered good for my age group (35-38?). It depends on yr age. 3.7 sounds good enuf.

I can only think that it is only bad to hv amh 3.7 when you actually suffer from PCOS.

Dear? I was sincere patient too. Do talk to prof if u have any issues. My work doctor recommended me to prof ng. She had a successful Ivf many years back. She advised me to take no pay leave 4 months to rest. I did. I inserted 2 embryos but was left with 1 singleton. Better than none. Jiayou Jiayou!! Dun give up

Anyway that prof can improve on Ur hubby sperm? He under stress? Nv rest enough? Diet problem? Obese? Smoke? Drink? All these will factor in. Besides age gal. Maybe he can try exercise, rest and take lots of water? i read tat need at least 90 days of hard work to have solid eggs and sperms.U did 1 time n strike? Congrats! Happy for u !

It doesn't matter which side u turn to... as I mentioned before my trsf is usually not easy as my path are not straight forward type. Usually gynae takes 45mins but tat day he took less than 15mins. Dr liow still laugh at me tat I time my gynae skills..
Gal, I sneak out on my 3rd day after et for a short shopping to grab some stuffs. I just minimise my walking, lie on sofa most of the time during first week.

Actually I think it doesn't matter. At kkh, we only sit on a chair like dentist chair to do et. Lie for 5 mins then nurse will say we can go home liaoz. I straight go toilet to pee cos really buay tahan then we headed home liaoz. Walked to car park, sit car then go home liaoz...

I day 4 also go downstairs buy things liao after et..minimise walking , lie on sofa.
Shireen, hubby not stressed, dun smoke, dun drink, eat healthy but sadly born with few sperms. I can only pray hard that buddha heard my prayers and grant us a miracle. .but he hasn't hear me yet..

Some ladies are lucky to strike w 1-2 ivf attempts but it's really a trial n error thing end day. I can only say it takes lots of patience to go thru the roller coaster. Sometimes just dun tik too much, dun read forum too much makes u more relax n stop Google on internet.. I know it's hard but usually I refrain from all these during 1st week 2ww.→_→

For my case, I did not bed rest after et. Went bk to work after 4th day..... On and off work from hm.....
This is to divert my attention Ito occupied myself during the 2ww.
I think that it's better to be busy than to keep having negative thoughts and also I m very gan cheong type.
So that I won't have the time to google as well.
Nurses also advise me not to bed rest the ful day as the blood need circulation.....
It's a very tough journey..... Never have a peaceful mind since I embarked on this journey......

Hi, has anyone here taken the Chinese medicine from Dr. Tan SB (NTU) for FET cycle?
Can you please advise me how many times do we take, how often and will it be right after the period on the FET month?
Will it be the same as her usual medicine (drink 2 days, rest 2 days)?
Would appreciate your help! Thank you so much!
