Well I can only say diff clinic diff practice.
All the clinics I went to will affirm pregnancy through bt, hpt is not 100percent accurate n can't tell u how high ur beta is.
Are u expecting now or delivered?

I usually do hpt a day before bt. If you are pregnant, there will at least be a faint positive. But bt will tell the exact level of hcg n will be indicative of a viable pregnancy.
I on and off only have light brown spotting. Can't wait for my menses to be over.
Thats true. I did ask my doc why not blood test he just said u want can but it sometimes cause ladies unnecessary panic. I delivered in 2013. Now just gathered my courage to try again.
Me. I didn't do blood test at my docs just another urine test and the result was same. Im quite an impatient person and also wanted to be prepared in case I was disappointed. Already cried so many times in front of my doc liao.
Hihi my rd was also almost cancelled because I had many many eggs but only 3 or 4 looked ripe. My doc left it up to me whether to go ahead or not and I decided to stim a few more days and in the end was lucky enough to bfp (14 retrieved, 6 fert, only 3 survived). So I think in the end your doc may ask u to make the difficult decision whether to go ahead or not considering the situation. Hard for them to decide they can only advise.When will you be told that its over? Im on D8 scan, only my right side yield a 12, 11, 10 and some 8. the left side all below 10 (in the range of 8s)
If too little follicles will they still ask you to go for ET? Also on the day of ET they issue MC or HL?
Cos i cant get my no pay leave, informed me to exhaust my MC but we have so little mc to play with annually

Congratulations!It's a BFP
But right now I'm a bit stressed & worried because I've been cramping a lot since yesterday so trying to take it slow till my next BT next week. The waiting is agonizing & I feel like gahhh....I rather do my ultra sound asap so I can be assured im not dreaming.
After 4.5 years of trying.....I feel like I'm still dreaming because I've never ever had a BFP before
Thanks mqiu, that's what I'm worried about. No clear directions and doc asking me to make e decision. Btw how long a cycle did you stretch to?
My BT is tomorrow and I did a hpt today. I know I shouldn't but I thought I wanted to prepare myself in case no line. And well...there was a faint line. And now I'm going mad because I had a pregnyl 1,500iu shot last Friday and I'm thinking whether the faint line is the residual of the trigger.
And of cos, I never managed to put myself at ease, if not, I'm just worse off. Oops.
Look on the bright side, u have till Tmr to torment yourself and then when bt comes positive, every worry and pain will be so worth it when u are carrying your bean
Hmm ard 8 days of stim had 6 follies 18 and above. I stim for 3 more days after that

Hi @j_snow , I've gone through 2 cycles with good yield (each time 20+ retrieved but fertilization is <50%). Your status looks OK for D8. Good luck.
I went through 3-4 doctors at KKH already and they have always provided advice and a recommendation (phew) based on my condition. The final decision is up to you. I always go with my doctor's recommendation.
If I recall correctly, KKH issues HL to cover you from ER to BT (more than 2 weeks) for fresh IVF cycles. No HL for FET since there is no downtime, but I'm sure they'll provide a couple days MC if you ask.
gooiee, hi, hi. when i did my fet, before the transfer i also have this aching leg and i am on crinone insert. Almost canceled the transfer due to this aching leg, but prof changed my crinone to ultrogestan insert, and since then, i am better and proceed with et. maybe you can check with your dr why your wifey has this aching leg.
Hi, may i know the reason why you chose to stimm for another 3 more days?

Seems like a good sign. Hang in there.
wow, 18 and above, your scans looks more positive than mine. I will ask more questions on my next scan to evaluate whether im on the rite track.
there were too many pple on fri, the whole room was packed
Thanks bunnymiumiu for the info and reassurance... I shall not overthink nor think pessimisticly, just rest and let things take its course.
Its really something out of my hands. Hope they can grow more these 2 days....

Oh thanks! Did prof mention why crinone might cause that?
Oh my hubby and I decided to stim a couple more days hopefully to allow some of the smaller follies to catch up with the lead follies. But there was a risk that the lead follies would become overripe. So its really a nerve wreaking experience.
Nope, he didnt mention any reason. I think it is just my body reaction on particular substance. crinone may not be the reason for my leg ached, no one know for sure.

Hi gooie,
Sounds like good signs but for sake of caution, best if any numbness or pain to call clinic and ask them if it's anything to worry abt? No meds shld cause any pain or ache as a side effect.. sometimes a change in dosage or type or meds can help alleviate any aches/pain. When is yr wife's beta? Good luck!
Sometimes it may be better to wait for next cycle so that the amount of stim drugs can be adjusted for a better yield. Its tough to decide to hold off and sometimes I wished the doctor would make the decision instead of leaving it up to me. A bitter pill to swallow when we spend so much time and effort to go through ivf then have to cancel at the last minute. But thats what I learned from my experience. One day everything going well then boom doc say maybe better to cancel. So I guess im saying need to be mentally prepared. Having said that, wish u all the best!!wow, 18 and above, your scans looks more positive than mine. I will ask more questions on my next scan to evaluate whether im on the rite track.

Thanks. Perhaps will ask kkh on Monday. Her beta is on 2 feb 17dp2dt

Hi...
Not been posting much Curz im worrying myself silly & hoping to stabilize as soon as possible. Last night I went back after work & cooked. Ended up with a terrible back ache & shoulder ache. So I got traumatized & sat down & freaked out.
Sigh...even get a BFP also, the trying part is now when I'm trying to wait to stabilize the pregnancy. It's more stressful than the 2ww I realise!
Oh and my Hcg was 2,000+. I haven't got my BT report so I've forgotten the exact number as my nurse told me over the phone & I was in too much of a surprise to record it! Sheesh.....
Actually I want to share this good news with so many many ppl around me who have been hoping I get pregnant but faced with this fear of stabilizing the pregnancy, I'm just keeping to myself. Anyone else in same boat as me or am I just over thinking & over-feeling all this??

). Try the 2015 IVF mummies thread. Every week is a worry week till the next appmt until baby in hand. Stay positive and try to relax (but the 2 wks btwn beta and 1st scan is really nerve wrecking so hang in there & believe). Take care dear.

When I knw I hv BFPed, I didnt feel happy immediately cos I knw first trimster is very critical and anything can happen.

I am in my 25weeks now. Act I intend to post thanks after I gv birth but juz cant wait anymore.
Wanna thanks esp redvel,ron and mosburger. Thanks all.

I was such a worry wart during my pregnancy that my gynae advised me to see a psychiatrist. I somewhat survived and didn't go to that.
It is inevitable to worry and for me I went the extent of telling my dad and in laws only when I'm 5 months pregnant, after the 20 weeks detailed scan. My belly wasn't very big. It was just too daunting to deal with expectations.
I think it's important to stabilise the pregnancy, good news to others can always wait, you know can already.

Oh my!! Thts bad...I wonder if I'm becoming like tht too?! I might be because im analyzing every single symptom & every cramp & every twinge. But I guess because unlike ppl who get pregnant normally, I've yet to see my blood test results & I've not tested on home pregnancy test kit so without a tangible evidence of the BFP, I'm in limbo now. Waiting for another 2 weeks to pass asap.

Just in case later in your pregnancy, you need reassurance, u can consider getting a doppler to check on baby heartbeat. You can hear it without having to go to the gynae. $138 I paid if I'm not wrong.
Oh thats normal. I only told my parents and two very close friends then kept so quiet about it not many ppl knew until they saw my tummy ard 5 months. Some friends were shocked when I delivered haha.Hi...

Reading too much can mk u go crazy. My gynae Dr tan HH said it was fine to use. I trust him.
All the time I managed to hear bb heartbeat, sometimes taking a longer time to locate.
At least 12 weeks on then can use. For me, I needed it to keep my sanity.

Just wanted to share, for those on 2ww or going for 2ww, try to avoid the following food (and also follow tht list I put up 2 weeks ago):
- NO coffee, tea, green tea (I don't drink it but I know it's pretty popular), milo, horlicks.
- Keep ur milk intake low. Opt for soya bean drink but not everyday. Once in every 2-3 days is ok.
- veggie juice is preferable.
- no chocolates! No sugary drinks. If want to drink like Ribena either dilute it or drink the low-sugar one & drink it sparingly.
- avoid wheat products but if need to consume can do so once in every 2-3 days.
- Take soup & rice more.
Most of these I trial & error during my first cycle & also when I started my second cycle, my doctor advised some of these dietary changes. He suggested I change my diet as im not really a fruits & veggie person. I'm a very fast food & junk food junkie.

Hi idazahs, may I know why milk intake should be low? I'm used to drinking one packet of anlene high calcium - I thought calcium is important?
Thanks for enlightening!

According to my doctor, he said dairy consumption isn't that good, and he said research has showed its not very supportive when we are ttc. However he never elaborate! My next visit I'll be asking him because my body has low calcium so I need him to give me other options to build up calcium.
I'll share here once I get the info
