Tried TCM? My husband took one year of medicine and changed diet to improve. He took supplements like acidophilus, milk thistles, vit C, vit B2 and those that promote prostate health.

I didn't get the blood test reports or any test reports. They would be so useful for 2nd opinion.

Somewhat concurrently. TCM medicine in am, supplements in pm. We asked the TCM doc. He told us to space out.Trying since july,hopefully it helps. Now we both on tcm.

Diet-wise, we only take fish at most once a week. Eat a lot of fruits and vege everyday and cut down on meat, esp red meat. Also cut down on yong tau foo and soya bean. This was advised by our TCM doc.
Do ask abt what u need to take more or less. I believe a diet change helps a lot.

God & baby have heard you!
Janices, did yr HCG falls when u bleeding due to the m/c of 1 of the twins?
Connie, when i was looking online on tcm... i come across another popular tcm in clementi which i read he is more specialise in male infertility.... Dr Tan Kian Sing. U can try google to find out more
Ur little beanie is a late bloomer... he/she will catch up! Dun worry!
No leh... Dr Tan says no point. He said once transfer 2 embryos then the trend will go haywire as it could be twins n 1 didn't make it which might cause a fall so ask me dun monitor hcg anymore.

Hi all mummies. I had my et on 1 sept n was told to go bloodtest on the 15th to see if I'm pregnant. So far, not sure what's happening inside with the embryo.. no symptoms except bloatedness n do get tired. I hope it's normal. Really hoping for a positive test.

Thanks eezynl, hubby also have consulted dr tan before le. He is more comfortable with current tcm. So we shall stick to that
Yunxi88, reading your comment is as if you are writing my story. I've a very similar situation as you except that I'm worse in the AMH reading. Mine is only 0.5.Hi ladies, i'm new on the forum here. Could anyone share which brand of c0q10 supplement do you take?
I've tried IVF thrice at KKH over the past one year and didn't conceive. Have also done IUI twice before at a private specialist.
37 this year and egg reserve is very low (0.7).
1st IVF cycle only 1 embryo grade 3, 2nd was better with 2 embryos grade 4 and 3rd was the worst, all embryos were abnormal and didn't do transfer.
None of my cycles had any embryos to freeze.
I've done acupuncture regularly, took blacksmore conceivewell, ate egg whites, red bean soup, ensure milk, almonds/brazil nuts, chinese medicine...saw several TCMs before IVF and during (Eu Yan Sang TCM Paragon, Marine Parade Dr Ban Choon Chan, AMK Zou Yu Min, Thomson TCM Centre)... haiz think i've done my best.
Went to see Dr. Loh at TMC for alternative advice for IVF, he didn't seem to encourage me to do IVF (even recommended me possible options like egg donors from Thailand). He prescribed me a Migrate brand Qo10 to improve my egg quality but this is not available online so i'm wondering which brand most ladies are taking that is available online/retail.
I don't know when/if I will go back and try another IVF, didn't sound very promising from Dr. Loh's comments.
I also went to see TCM Dr Tan Siew Buoy, she even comment I might be going to menopause
I'm hoping herbal TCM (instead of the powder form maybe more effective). Still keeping some hope
Likewise I've cancelled 2 cycles before due to no follicles stimulated and poor grade embryos.
I'm doing my 5th Fresh cycle now... Only 1 follicle despite high dose of stimming drugs...
I'll be doing one more scan on Mon and verdict will be out if I can go ahead to extract this one and only one out. Stress!

Hi redvel,hugs. I am getting tired n stressed out. Maybi i pretty useless,just try 1 fresh failed nia with no frosties n feeling like that.
I need to decide to go for e hysteroscopy d&c or not to confirm e maybi polyp or maybi scarring seen from sis scan. Next week going for 2nd opinion then decide to proceed with e d&c or not. Kkh doc allow me to do ivf unless i do this hysteroscopy d&c to confirm e maybi diagnosis.

Connie hugs back. I've had enough of ivf really. I mean coming one is the last that's it, whatever the outcome is. I know many nice ladies here tell me don't give up...try more ivf...They also succeed only after 8th try etc. But we are really not keen anymore. I know me and hubby can be happy either way. Just find a lifestyle that we both can feel fulfilling if coming attempt is not positive again.
For you I know you have a few things coming up...and yes they may be stressful. But i feel ultimately you and hubby don't give yourself too much of a timeline stress. Do one thing at time. If must seek 2nd opinion, then fix one to set your mind at ease. If must remove polpys, then do it and don't read too much about the procedure (you went to Google and scare yourself about d&c right? Hee. I refused to read too much into d&c nor hsg etc. I mean if that's the way to get myself better, I will set peace with myself and let the dr takes care of the rest).
Clear one hurdle at a time without telling ourselves must bfp must succeed by this time by that age. i feel the less we stress about it, and the more we pace ourselves comfortably, the rest will fall in place nicely eventually.

Yup, im ok, but still upset when see newborn. Nevermind, i believes mine will come soon and this time round i will really handle it with care...
Hope u and bb are doing good!
I'm also trying for 1st. Also feel very sad when hear of friends and family having baby. Half my friends have 2 already and we still trying. Hubby is 7 years older than me but he has never given me stress on this, only myself.

@michng,sad hor. I try ttc for 5 yrs. Married at age 32. Age 35 went further check n found the reason. Gynae told ivf is e only way out n natural not possible. Even ivf chances r slim n risk of miscarriage high even if sucessful bfp. Finally decide to embark 1st ivf at age 37 n failed first fresh with 7 frosties unable to make it to freeze.

I also trying for first bb. Ya especially sad when friends who are married after me r all mummies le. Especially when younger bil and sil who got married 6 mths only, announced their pregnancy and the same month we found out we needed ivf. Cried buckets and still need to act normal and happy.CNY especially sucks,especially tt year,sil was 9 months pregnant. Second cny I just failed my ivf on cny eve. Again cried buckets but must look normal during reunion dinner and cny. (As I type this,I m tearing)
I failed 2 fresh and 1 FET le. It gets easier but still sucks a ton. Oh well. Just see how lo.
We have to jiayou ok... Add oil everyone! We will make it one day

they never say anything about the faint HPT. just say see the bt result. actually should have given me something to maintain the 'possibility' of slight +ve hor.. regret I never insist.. but it's all over now.
