Deardyan/ miaoling/ fluffy Chili,

I can't rem if you are on fresh cycle. Can you share if you have been given progynova or other support for E2 after u bfp.

Mesara, i know u r on fresh and given progynova by dr tan hh.

Please share.

happy_mtb said:

This chart is just a guide. In early stage of pregnancy, bhcg should double or triple every 2~3 days consistently. After that, scanning is more impt

Hello Connie! Yet to see him. But read online that dr will not be able to tell wat goes wrong. Failure in implantation is mostly due to bad quality egg. Mine is day 4 trsf.. Day 3 is a Sunday. Retrieved 17 eggs, only 8 matured and 3 fertilized and became embryo... Transferred 2 and the 3rd din make it. Yup with prof wong. Sad. How abt u?

I think some hv tried DHEA to improve quality. But if fail at implantation, it may not necessary be egg quality. There is the lining, egg quantity and sperm quality to consider too.

Mine also Dr cannot tell why fail. Feel quite helpless. I get shivers thinking what if it happen again.

Your egg retrieval is really high.. Are you on short protocol? Implantation problem might be many different reasons but I feel that maybe you and your hubby take supplement and exercise to improve the quality. When you exercise there is more oxygen in your blood and I heard it improve both egg and sperm quality.

When I consult dr Loh, he is telling me that nuh like to do short.. I am with nuh for the first 2 rounds, 1st bfp but miscarry and 2nd not successful. Dr Loh does not encourage short as there might be immature follicles. That is why I am doing the long protocol now.

Think blood work and scan starts upon day 1 stimulation. And will get as frequent as alternate to 2 days apart. Eh wonder y D5 for your next scan. Purpose of scan is to monitor progression of stimulation so prof can adjust medications. I retrieved 17 eggs but only 8 matured.. MC starts from Day of OR for 16 days...

Ah I C! I duno y nuh discourage long protocol... Tink nurse mention before but I forgot. So wat is your update now for your third cycle?
 
Still on stimulation, 5th day. I do not know how many follicles that I have had, but base on the first 2 rounds, it is always around 11 ... so I guess time should be ... or lower.. which I hope not... Dr Jerry is also the one who told me to inject medication for egg growth and quality. I am just hoping that my hubby sperm is ok..

I am with Kkh now. My husband has already done the sa in nuh so we save our time on those procedure. Menopeur for quality and saizen for growth. And my Tcm mention that I start my 2nd cycle too soon after d&c, that is why my result is lousy on the 2nd try. Better wait for a few cycles before starting on the journey again.
