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!

Usually, for her herbs tsken after ET is done, u will need to drink 2 days rest 1 day.

I did a fresh cycle this time and started this schedule since 2ww. After i bfp and starting spotting/ bleeding, i drank continuously gof 6 days without rest and she increase the dosage of thr herbs too.

Wah santhiya,

Yr hcg must be very much higher at 12dp2dt! It is showing 2-3 weeks pregnant instead of 1- 2 weeks pregnant!

* clearblue digital indicates prrgnancy from conception. Not counting from LMP.

how many eggs u managed to retrieve if ur AMH 2.7?
Click to expand...
I retrieved 21 this cycle. Last cycle i retrieved 13.

Other than your amh, the number of follicles growing will also depend on the dosage of stimulating hormones thst yr dr gives. Amt of gonal for puregon used plus how long u stimulate will determine how many u get.

Not all embbies will make it after icsi. Some times its the egg issue and other times it may be the sperm. They pick and judge the eggs and sperm by appearance and so you dunno if they have issues.

Did u tell them u are already ill before they did the transfer?

Second,

Just take good care of yrself and hope for the best. Lots of vitamin c and water.

If you are heaty, better skip the durains and chx essence. In any case, durian is eaten during 2ww because they are fruits containing nutritions and lots of vitamins. Switch to other food/ fruits instead.

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...

Wa! V lucky and experience dr too!! And strong body ^^ sounds like my IUI experience. But once I stand up, liquid droop Down. I feel like non of the sperms attached inside ;(

Tt y I think xiao liao for our case, could be quality issue, contemplating on going to tiao e bodies with tcm..but now still adjusting my emotions as I am still getting over e negative result heard 4 days ago

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..

Do lots of googles, homework. Boost both of Ur health. There are ways to increase sperm counts. But takes time. Steady steady!!

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.→_→

I did my best before the egg retrieval. After tat, try to relax and dun think and dun google around. We do our best. And no regrets. I dun even dare to kill an ant. Did charity, and try all kinds of methods, like temples, ovarian massage, eat healthy food. Haha super kiasu

Another 4 days of injections to scan for my number of follicles. I have not much appetite after all this injections.

Hope,

Try yr best to eat. Follicles and lining need food to grow too even though the jabs are suppose to do the job.

Try and take in more liquid and protein.

Hi portia, just came back from guardian and bought a single stick....sale price at $19.90..haha...

I'm now2-3 weeks... Which means hopefully my hcg went up?

I'm kinda confused on when should i start counting? How do i calculate which wk i m at? Use online due date calculator?

My ER is 5/5, ET on 7/5.... So i start from ET onwards?

Any advice?

Hi fluffychilli,

Do read the clearblue leaflet for better understanding. Clearblue starts counting from conception and hence indicate that u r 2-3 weeks pregnant. Doc will tell u that you are at 4 to 5 weeks now.

If my calculation is correct, you shld be 5 weeks pregnant today.

@portia3, is not count from our ET?

Conception ( or fertilization) is count from ER to present day.

Dr will start counting from last menstrual period. For IVF patients, it is generally counted as 2 weeks pregnant from 1st day of menses to ER date.

No. Of wks u r pregnant = 2weeks + conception till date.

I chcked and confirmed the above w dr s.

Thanks portia....

If that's the case, my hcg is really low considered that i took it on friday n level is 146.8... Sigh...

Thanks anyway......
 
How I wish clearblue invents a digital kit to measure the hcg n progesterone numbers. First it was the tww in anxiety and now its the tww to heart beat scan anxiety. Esp when you feel symptomless. Sometimes its just unneccessary woŕry n stress and all cud be well. But wat the mind understands the heart does not.... counting down the long draggy days.....to see n hear little ones
 
Ladies, I had so much to ask...paiseh do bear w me k.

For those that seek out tcm, Dr zou etc, what's her charges like? Consults, herbs n acu etc. Is there like a package to sign up. Make appt or walk in?

E actual IVF starts from stim onwards, then ER and ET?

Can those successful mtb share what u did right this cycle or what u think may attribute to ur bfp?
 
Congrats to all BFP sisters..so nice to see so many BFPs..it encourages me..

Would like to check once BFP, will u gals feel that there is something attach to the womb area? And are we allow to stretch when waking up from bed,like shen lan yao ?
 

Did my BT today.. 14dp2dt... My result was 228.. Is it consider good or low??? Staff at kkivf said 'congratulations,u r pregnant' but nvr said anything abt repeating BT..I am so worried.. Hopefully it rises in two days..
