Another 2 more wks to hear the heart beat..
I hv another review next week. Hopefully can hear it by then aldy!
hope, thanks for the concern...i was really desperate this morn...call the helpline but onli start 830, call the appt hotline but dr S fully booked at clinic D today so i jus head down directly to ivf centre n ask if can c a doc...eventually a young lady doc saw me but she couldnt confirm if it's allergic to the utrogen or wat so she suggested changing meds to prengyl injections but i rejected cos im sick of jabs liao...den she suggested taking the meds orally instead since i took it orally b4 n had no adverse reaction but i oso rejected cos vaginal insert is more effective....in the end she gave mi some flu meds n calamine lotion n refer mi tothe dermatologist in any other hospital.
when i was at the pharmacy, the pharmacist tink tat if i taken the meds orally b4, unlikely im allergic to the meds n if the meds is inserted, allergic reaction should be localised instead of all over the body..she tinks it could b my body reacting to the embryo...cui...i tink if really so means my body is fighting the embryo w a rash instead of supporting its growth???
anyway i'l jus bear with the itch for another week and go for the blood test...
really envy all the blessed ladies who bfp fr ivf!

Hi i like to find out more on endo scratch. I realised i forgot to ask some questions just now when Dr scheduled me for one in July.
Do I need to pop in painkiller prior to the procedure? I personally had a bad experience when I did my hsg. I didn't take painkiller and i wanted to cry. And I have high pain threshold to begin with so this ordeal made me think that I'm not so hero afterall. So should I pop one before the scratch?
After the procedure, can just drive home like normal right?
Thanks.

No.. You do not need to eat pain killer. It will be like iui procedure. And yes you can drive home like normal.

Thanks Hope.
I asked many questions this round
She ran through possible reasons why my first ivf didn't work. Of course age is a huge factor (me 42) that runs into the question of quality of my eggies. So what's gonna be done differently next fresh is another additional hormone jab which may enhance my egg quality. Darn can't remember the name.
She does encourage me to go for another round as my egg reserve is considered good for my age. I've got 16 eggs retrieved back then. She shared many patients at 40s hardly have anything close to my number.
And endo scratch is recommended since medical studies says it increases the chance of implantation. So I will take that up.
I also asked about vits recommendation and chatted about other stuff.
oh ya I also asked her what's this intralipid all about. She says I'm the 2nd patient to be asking her. She thinks it's hocus pocus. Haa. (No offence to those who did this procedure. We all know different docs, different views). She knows it's from SF Loh. And she says she is going to text him and asks him why is he doing hocus pocus things. Hee that conversation was kinda funny...I know they know each other since they were colleagues before.
16 eggs are really good number.. I believe the quality jab is menopeur .. I have 3 injection everyday.. Saizen plus lucrin. Endo scratch will cause some bleeding for a few days, so do not be alarm. You are going to start in August for your next cycle.. Do take coq10 too.. I heard it improve egg quality at the same time. I have taken for 1 yr before embarking on my 3rd cycle. I hope this time my egg quality will improve.

where to buy coq10? any brand recommended? isit btr than DHEA?
I take both coq10 and dhea. If you are buying dhea from the web .. Can get coq10 at the same time. It suppose to have anti radical effect..

ok thx
Really? I thought still need to continue egg white after ET
Hi @circlecircle , is it still required to take immunocal after et? According to jklim, this is not required if doing FET

I also dunno. I have never done fet. Both my cycles are fresh. But she could be right. I take immunocal cos of the side effects of the ivf jabs from fresh cycle. Possibly fet don't need?

Hello ladies,
I would like to know if anyone got BFP from medicated FET and what's your medication like? I just got BFP today and am on Duphaston pills (twice a day), Crinone insert (once a day), progynova (3x a day) and progesterone jab (twice a week). Thank you!

Congrats! Welcome to the club!
Immunocal is a protein supplement which helps with the strengthening of our immune system too. I intend to continue taking all the way till i pop.
It is a supplement that my aunts and grandma take on daily basis as well. Not just for conception purpose.
My scan shows 15 but i retrieved 21.
yes mi oso same as scan....how come there can be more retrieved than scan? izit cos those r the smaller ones which grow after the last scan?

For both my cycles, I had more eggs retrieved than scanned. But the extra eggs all not usable ones. Usually they are the tiny ones that just caught up after the last scan.

I wun take immunocal during prgnancy unless it is cleared by the gynae. Even though Immunocal is a food, it is considered a medicinal food and is rich in whey protein.
that's on top of the protein that we r getting from natural sources. When we r pregnant, our body organs need to work harder to support our body and the foetus. Having higher than normal protein in our body may not be good as it makes our kidneys work harder. In every visit to the gynae, there's urine test.. ie pee on a strip. One of the item checked is protein in urine.
When one is pregnant, is best to clear the food, supplements, medicine taken w the gynae. I wun act on ny own accord.
Even milk, fresh milk is much healthier than ensure. For older mummies to be in their late 30s, pls watch wat u eat. U hv higher risks of getting gestational diabetic if ur body cannot cope as well. Loading your body with protein, high sugar food and fats are adding to ur risks.
Eat healthily and a balanced diet. The supplements that gynae precribed in 2nd trimester will be sufficient.

I think the bottom line is having an optimal level of protein required from both supplement and food.
For those interested to know how much protein and the protein food needed each day, u may refer to article below.

Oh ya someone commented that she has rashes. Is most likely due to hormonal changes in the body. Maybe a good sign. Apply some bb friendly moisturer to your body. Try out physiogel AI lotion. It has the cream version which is richer in texture. It can only be purchased in hospital pharmacies. Remember to get the one with the AI word on it. It shld stop the itch.
Rashes, pups are quite common in pregnant ladies. SOme cases worsen in final trimester. Is not easy being a mum, our body undergoes alot of changes... that's why Mothers r always the greatest!

@jklim4642.. i sent you a PM..
How many eggs are they expecting?
They gave me a tablet called cabergoline to prevent ohss. I also ate a lot of protein food like egg white, immunocal and salmon fish to prevent bloating and ohss. All that helped. I was not affected after retrieving 21 eggs.
