hi, my ER is on day 14. Last scan is day 11. I think the dr would usually have planned the ivf schedule with medicine such as nor-e. the dr will also target which follicles will likely to produce matured eggs for ER
Hi connie_hopeful, the hsg is to check on the tube. They inject dye through your womb and see if the dye flow through the tube. The SIS is to check the womb cavity and this they inject saline. In my opinion, hsg cramp is slightly more painful than SIS. Hope this helps!

Checking the lining of the womb is called SIS, ie Saline Infusion Sonohysterography. U can google online what's can the check detect. It does not just check adhesion, ie scarring. It also checks for polyps, emdometrosis, etc. Polyps can be so tiny tt may not appear clearly under normal transvagina scan.
Blocked tube check is HSG, ie hysterosalpingogram.

thanks hopeful13 and jklim for e information. it helps and i understand le. i think hsg is a redundant test for ladies who confirm need to undergo icsi or ivf or conception,since ivf overcome block tube issues..

Although I was scheduled for ivf, I was still fixed with HSG. It may not seem necessary for ivf but I think it's still good to do one in case you're trying natural in between the ivfs. I mean good to know what's happening in our body.
Connie_hopeful have your started your ivf?

Hi @tsf0205.. Your first scan mean you come full flow menses and go scan?
If yes, then no need to see review doc... The nurse in scanning room will tell you.. The reception will follow up to you and inform you to go take medicine for jab... If not wrong they will give ard 10days jab...

Busy weeks ahead of ya. Go go go Connie.
Oh yes next Monday is scratchy time. My hubby asks am I sure I could drive home after that. I told him what's the procedure like but he thinks it should be painful and can feel nasty. He said he can take leave to be there but I really think not necessary. But he is scaring me lol. The scratch is really ok one right?

I dissolved 1-2 pack in cold milo. You can use other beverages but don't use warm beverages.

How big is your cyst? Your doc will be able to advise whether to proceed or to remove cyst first. My cyst was almost 5cm so doc advise to remove before starting 1st cycle ivf bcos it's too big. After giving birth found another cyst but it's less than 2cm so she said no need remove. Do discuss with your doc. I think it depends on what type of cysts too.

I drink it with H20. I tried putting h20 a little by a little. Don't stir too hard. Use powder to fold into the water and squash. Fold and squash.

Hi everyone I'm new to this forum. Been ttc for 2yrs with 2 failed SO-IUI, 1 Fresh cycle & 1 FET. Will be doing my 3rd round of FET early next month. Hoping to make some new friends and get some support here as it is really difficult to find friends/ family who understand what we are going through... Most of them have no problem conceiving. Oh ya, I am with SF Loh at Thomson.

Hi Littlems, welcome!! Ivf is a very tough and lonely journey. All of us here understands and will support one another. Feel free to come and chat with us.
Are u seeing any Chinese physician to tiao body first before trying again? Did you review with Dr Loh what might be the potential problem for the failed cycle?

Hi pinkdoll
yes, I'm doing acupuncture at Thomson Chinese Medicine for about 3mths before I did my 2nd round. Unfortunately didn't work... Maybe needs more time to tiao. Dr Loh said it's probably due to implantation failure as embryos looked good before ET. My big issue is PCOS... small issues are fibroid & polyps (which have been removed) and sometimes Dr Loh say my lining "not so good" but he also didn't diagnose me with endo... confused. Haha...Hi connie_hopeful
nope... Did all my IUI & IVF with Dr Loh. The next round will probably be my last try for awhile as IVF at Thomson is really ex w/o govt funding Praying very hard that the next round is successful.

Dr TSB said sometimes Dr Loh SF will recommend patients to her... since you have not tried TCM medicine, you can try to consult her...
Not sure if you are able to secure an appointment with her...since your FET is early next month... you call them and said you are going for FET soon and would like to consult Dr TSB. Or you may want to consider postpone your FET to another month so that you can at least take the TCM for a month.

Thanks for all the info and advice ladies. Guess I will go ahead with the upcoming FET first as I just did hysteroscopy to remove polyps & endo scratching. If not, it will be kind of wasted since I have alr done the procedure to try to improve implantation.
If this round still don't work, will probably try...
Btw, anyone did intralipid infusion for IVF before?

agree that private is a money killer for failed cycles. if successful , then still not so heartpain. I have switch to restructured hospital from last failed from private cos of the private exorbident cost that will be rolling for new cycle. saving the $ instead to try TSB TCM to tiao for this new attempt. all e best to myself.Hi pinkdoll
Hi connie_hopeful
All the best to you littlems, been to sf loh once for advise and think he is quite experienced. actually, wanted to try him for 2nd try but was pulled back due to cost consideration
maybe u make some adjustment to diet. some sisters here try brazil nuts etc which seems to work for them.
