sometimes, these CS really treat you like an idiot and tell you the textbook replies. at times or MOST of the time, I will just lose it and DEMAND to do it my way. Usually, I just tell them straight in the face "Don't treat me like an idiot, do you know what you are talking about?" Hehehe...

Face colour is when you see them face to face ley...they cannot see your black face over the phone wor

Dear dawnBB
I am 41year young hahaha... but may i ask if u collected lotsa eggs to blast? They advised not to blast when i have not many embryos in case none survived will be wasted.
Still... i will heed advice from doc since they are expert in their field to blast or not. We are all in the same journey... no one can better understand us. Stay strong have faith and be positive dear! Hugzzz

My prenatal, fish oil, maca and french bark from gnc. I cant decide on Life Extension or 21st Century both doc said are good. CoQ10 and Arginine i will buy 21st century.

I just finished tcm consultation. Will start acupuncture after AF clears. Cant recall which sister mention she under Dr Seah Ai Wei cos i will stick with her. :)

Is ok I can just wait, as long as I don't see red. I haven't tried HPT, thinking of doing it tomm. My past experience, it only got detected rather late, like day 17 and it was a very very faint line. So I didn't want to test too early.

Anyway, just 5 more days for me to go, just bear and grit with it. If I see blood, then I will surely go early BT. Otherwise, will hang on..

Just wanted to hear if any sisters have such experience, that's all.

When's your BT dear?
 
Back to work yesterday. Boss saw me and gripped my arm. I texted him I failed my IVF cycle the day before yesterday. Felt so warmth to have a supportive boss at work. I have been drinking the awful chinese medicine for 4 days. Bleeding got lighter now. I am going to start my first acupuncture session tomorrow.

One more question - that's less related but still want to get advise from sisters here. Recently I realize my body has lots of 'brown spots/pigmentation' - from my tummy up to below chest area.

I had some of it during my first pregnancy( maybe 10 spots or so) but these few days I found it grew many many more, not sure if is due to hormones/injections. Is like I have 50 plus spots now!

Does anyone know of any remedy? Like any brands of cream to apply or laser or others? Laser probably not a good idea for me now..

Your Bt is soon... u tested positive yourself already?
Will it be bfp for u this time too?!?!?! I'm excited for u!!!

patn, if you have many eggs, say 10-15, it's a good idea to blast because blasting sieved the strongest embryo (also the highest chance to implant and morph into a live baby). Cos at the end of the day, you just want to carry a baby home, not to determine how many eggs left in the freezer.

BUT if you have few embryos say 2,3, then suggest that you do not blast, just take a gamble and transfer so that this cycle will not be wasted.

Thumb of rule: Blast if you have many embryos, don't blast if you have few embryos (but if you want to take a chance, also can. You never know)

True lo... only 5eggs outta 6 follicles. Then 3 make it embryos so no blast. The 2 no good ones were disposed off. I dun wanna risk plus my doc prefer go straight to natural incubator when few eggs.

I also intend to have fresh cycle to store more of my eggs then risk future no eggs.

Now my mentality is to charge forward liao.. no looking back! Ahahaha like go army..
 
DawnBB said:
The embryologist said they will usually do 5 first if there are more than 5 embies. I will ask for more details when I see doc on day 10 scan for FET. Probably will also talk to the embryologist again.

ME!! Salute Joanne Peh for able to bear the 16 hrs labour pain and it was natural birth. After watching, I comforted to myself " OMG, this is scarier than my ivf cycle!!" Wahaha...:p
Click to expand...
actually damn siong to tahan 16 hours of labour pain - you see her face cringed until like that then she still had to hold back abit cos she's on video.
Just whack the epidural till dilation of 10cm then the missy will switch off the machine and chiong for 2 hours of labour...think better for everybody :p
 
mesara said:
Well this is my personal opinion. Btw 7 to 10 dpo u shud have a bt done for e2 p4 and hcg. If e2 and p4 is acceptable range no need extra support. Hcg will be more than 5 if indeed implantation took place and if your other hormones are low it's good to get extra support at this stage. Am just speaking from my experience and after reading tonnes of forums :)

Hi sister , I am not sure my condition , if I need to request extra support leh.... Hcg is another support right ?

You may leave a note to felicia to check with dr tan and call u back or you may go kkivf where they will check with doc and give the jab. Not all sisters need it. It really depends. Since I had 2 mc before he said hcg support better than proluton. My 8dpo bt also shows hormones level are ok with given support so I just have to hold on and wait for results. At least I know I have put in my best. Rest in Gods hands.

Will also have to consider the embroyos progress and quality by Day 2/3 too. Sometimes many eggs may be retrieved but not many make it to Day 2/3. If going for blast, the wait till the 5th day is really nerve wreaking.
 
I had my ER in Sept, am waiting for my AF to come so that I can start my FET. But it's delayed for more than 1 week!

So frustrating bcos it's now more difficult to inform my company on my projected leave. And I'm worried that the endo scratch I've done will lose the effectiveness with the delay. really ironical, have been hoping to see AF each time i go to the toilet these days :(:(

I ask for support jab and doc tan said take hcg. I took e2 p4 and hcg on 8dpo

I asked my Dr abt giving me additional support for my 2ww in my coming cycle bvos I've always worried that the inserts are not enough, but Dr said my progesterone level is good, she's concerned that if it's too high will hinder implantation.

Aiyo, this IVF is really..... everything must think about too high too low, too much too little, and problem is we will never really know. Anyway I decide to listen to Dr lah...
