Although I'm not with Dr Zhao from Raffles, but I did both Ba Guan and Acupuncture on the same day. Not really a painful process but perhaps just discomfort for me because of the suction. After that, you will feel your body light and relaxing.


I think that for acupuncture is more on balancing one's Qi in the body, hence enhancing the blood circulation, while for Ba Guan, is to dispel the coldness ("Qu Feng") and stagnant blood. With both combination, personally I feel more warm and lighter especially the uterus area.

Sometime, I would added on with 'Guan Sha' to detox my body :D

I thought they have to do guan sha b4 they start ba guan?

Yes, accu the front then ba guan the back on same visit. When the glass is placed over ur skin, it creates a vacuum & sucks ur skin in, there ll b a few seconds of discomfort. Other than tat, no pain. Quite relaxing after the glasses r removed.

I hv done ba guan many times before for my other injuries.. There is nothing worrying & scary abt ba guan. & Dr Zhao is an experienced doc, so don't worry yah.. Juz close ur eyes & zz, which I always do, coz too tired after work :)

I read tt ba guan is good for clearing stagnant blood & promoting blood circulation for our Qi to flow..

Only at 2dp2dt... Time seems to be crawling.....

Bb pony, some sisters get AF with inserts. So I believe it doesn't stop AF. But some sisters here have AF reported later because of the inserts. Different ppl, diff reaction.

They told me E2 below 200 then can start stimulation. I am getting disheartened. 3 weeks into my injection. Wonder if I can progress further.

Hi some ppl take longer to downregulate... I took nearly a month. E2 will eventually drop. U can check with ur doctor if he wants u to continue the lucrin. My doctor told me to abandon cycle in the end and use short cycle the next time (my E2 did drop to below 200 but period didn't come).

30th March..... Long way.....
It's very boring at home... Dunno wat to do. Any suggestions??
Click to expand...
I watched TV, read books, surf net... For me time passes very fast as I hardly have time to do all these at home. And I enjoyed the days off from work. It's a luxury for me. Haha! But then on the 2nd week I did go out for meals... Like I'll go breakfast with my parents then go dinner with my hubby and sometimes go supermarket to do grocery shopping... So not that difficult to pass time.

Jiayou & have a good rest. Whether to take TCM herbs depends on individual. I do take an tai Yao in my last cycle. But there are some who don't take at all. Taking LRDT & chicken essence is fine as long as your body can take it. Some pple can't take it as too heaty. & if u are taking TCM actually no need to take other tonic.

Hi, i think i am gone case. I saw red today. Now e bleeding stop. I am at day11 past transfer
Click to expand...
I ALWAYS start spotting 5 days before AF (be it iui/ivf/natural cycle). So I never believed in implantation bleeding...
So when I started spotting ard the same time for my recent FET, I cried like anything...then bam! Bfp during BT!
So now I BELIEVE!!

My first cycle was short protocol gonal f for 7 eggs and second puregon and menopur got 16 eggs. Now i scared used pergovoris. Shall discuss with doc and decide. Its the quality and not the quantity i know but still number low is worrying.some sisters used pergovoris with menopur. All depends on response. Diff people different. Its all luck man.

Try to stay postive... I also every fresh cycle only 1 or 2 embryos. Unforunately just means we have to do more fresh cycles but doesn't mean we cannot succeed. Just use the 2ww to rest, eat, watch tv etc ok! :)

Sisters, I had my first appt with TCM Dr TSB few days back and just started her med yesterday.

Today I'm feeling unwell including - reduced appetite, nausea (feel like vomiting but didn't ), little diarrhoea. like a milder version of what i went thru after my last ER.

My 2nd fresh in jan/feb was unsuccessful. TSB advised me not to rush into fet as theres a lot of 'chemicals ' in my body now. I wonder if this is some reaction to flushing of ivf meds from my body by the TCM meds.

Is there any sister who feel unwell after starting on TCM meds?

thanks.
 
When i went for my Pregnyl tonight, has another scare as nurse told me i didn't take blood test in the morning. For a moment i thought my cycle will be aborted Then the nurse said is ok, she can do it for me

@HappyPeanuts, did u take the meds on empty stomach? Try to take immediately after food. I don't see TSB but the TCM I see always advise to eat after food as those stomach no gd pple, may get gastric discomfort if take on empty stomach.
 
Hi girls is a natural FET better than a medicated one if I m ovulating regularly n lining is ok? My periods got messed up by the fresh ivf for several cycles and I can't track ovulation now. I m sure I ovulate every cycle but it has become 37 days instead of my usual 31 days. The doc suggests medicated but I think I m jumping into it without waiting for my cycle to b normal.

Eeeeee.. I m on 2 vials of pergoveris now too.. 2nd scan is on thurs.. Now I m starting to tink if I should had insisted on gonal f (I used gonal f during fresh #1 4 years back)..

May I know how many days apart was ur 2nd & 3rd scan to see the improved results?
 
Good morning, ladies.
I'm on my day 6 of menapur. Tomorrow going for second U/S. I was prepared to feel bloated and heavy, but nothing happens. Literally nothing.
I only feel more tired than average, very sleepy, but maybe that's because I've got low blood pressure, it happened before stimulation too. Did anyone felt like this during stimulation?

So now I'm worried that my body is immune to stimulation since nothing happens. Hopefully will hear some good news tomorrow.

I also had ZERO feeling during treatment (bloating after ER that's all) & thought my body was not responding.
Guess we are one of the lucky ones with no side effects.
