I dunno if your ET is beginning of March or end March. So maybe you can speak to your doc now to arrange a scratch cos it also depends on his schedule.

Likely mid march. Depends on my jan menses. Was it done by your fertility dr himself? At clinic or OT?

Hi ladies,
I am 10dp2dt (hope I got terminology right. 10days post transfer of 2d embryo). I have some light spotting today. Praying hard embbies stick. Really worried and trying to bed rest now. Anything else I can do? Anyone else like this and BFP?? Called Kkh and nurse just said to monitor...

Hi @littlejas, if it's brown or pink stain, it can be implantation spottting As long as you are not gushing out heavy bright red blood, it should be okay.
When is your blood test scheduled?

Hi Lufie, thanks for responding..
My blood test is next Fri, 8th Jan. I really do hope it is implantation bleeding.. I thought implantation is usually about 7dp2dt.. So my day 10 worries me. It's light red.. And you know the progesterone inserts making it a mess down under doesn't help! Keep freaking out when I feel any dampness down under!Hello. We are cycle buddies. My BT is on the 7th. Keeping finger crossed for both of us.Hi Lufie, thanks for responding..
Hi babysoon, great to know a cycle buddy!
where are you doing your ivf? How is your 2ww? Jiayou for us!!My spotting hasn't stopped, but not full flow so i'm still trying to be positive
Did you insert progesterone vaginally after ET? It's normal to get white discharge because of the pills
I didnt..but i think doctor inserted crinone during surgery..pretty worried coz i have to climb stairs (overhead bridge) yesterday..dunno if it will affect
Hi folks I went to see doc after my 1st ivf fresh cycle was bfn. Doc said I need to work on losing weight n plus he said he spotted a polyp while doing transfer. He has prescribed some contraceptive pills n I Wil be going for a hysteroscopy to remove polyp.
Also I've asked whether consuming coq10 dhea n omega fish oil can help with egg quality. His response was that there is no proven medical records for this.
But I'm going to start some healthy diet plus light exercise. N also gona buy coq10 to improve health. Dhea has side effects so no to tat. Any recommendation to which coq10 I shd buy? I chked n they are various.

Hi everyone ..
I'm on my first iui (at kkh) and I think it is going to fail. . Temp started to dip today.. planning to go of ivf..
Both me and DH are PR, there won't be any funding.. and not much of CPF too..
May I know which doc or hospital is the preferred ?
Or it will be better to stick with kkh since they have all of my records.
Thanks alot...

Personally I feel if u aren't subsidized or using govt grant, it will be better to go private clinic/hospital coz the environment is better eg staff attitude, and it will be less crowded.

Nope...i didnt go private coz i went kkh previously as subsidized patient...super long queue..
There are quite alot of doctors being recommend here before eg Dr Roland Chieng, Dr SF loh etc..i feel it depends on who you feel most comfortable or "fated" with, coz every doctor has his success or failure cases..
HI Anneneo78,
Dr SF Loh was previously from KKH which is now at TMC ?
Any idea the charges ? Or maybe later i will call the clinic
thanks alot ...

Hi Doraemon, for endo scratch, you have to do it before your menses and are awake throughout. The procedure is very fast, about 5 min. For me, it's abit painful, really depends on your pain tolerance. It's like pap smear.hello Dawn, Doraemon is my favourite character too

Thanks @SueAnna18. Dear, I totally emphathise the torturous ordeal of every 2ww. No matter how I psyched myself not to, I did symptom spot. The thing is there is really no standard to tell if your embies have implanted successfully. Only the BT is the final call. I have been through cycles where I felt all the positive early preggy symptoms yet gotten bfn BT. The cycle I got bfp had the least symptoms that I really thought it hasn't work. You can feel toyed really. Even if spotting happens *touchwood*, try not to panic and straight away contact your clinic for advice on additional support or BT. Still you have to hang in there with the PUPO (pregnant till proven otherwise) mentality. For me, I also make back up plans to hold myself together while hoping for the best.
Rem you may not be where you want to be yet, neither are you where you used to be. However things progress, always believe you will get to where you need to be. All the best!

Ladies, i have started my stim today. But a bit weird is i started off with orgalutran(hope i spell correctly) from cd3-cd5, cd6 onwards Gonal-F then cd10 onwards both Gonal F & orgalutran. Why start off with orgalutran? Previously my so-iui, i started off with puregon then later part with orgalutran.

Hi Melody, from what I understand this is to suppress your LH at an earlier stage (but still later than a Long protocol) so that the stimulation is mostly by the FSH meds (gonal f in your case). Our body LH also influences the growth of follicles such that in some individuals it can result in uneven growth during stims, hence some eggs grow faster than others. By suppressing LH along with FSH stimulation, it is hoped to better control the stimulation and achieve more even follicles & egg growth so that by the timed hcg trigger, hopefully most if not all the eggs are almost equally large and able to mature for retrieval.

Yup, he was in kkh many years ago, now with tmc.
No idea on charges...but as private patients shouldn't differ too much i guess

@DawnBB and others who are more knowledgeable.. I have had light bleeding from sat morning till now (10 to 12d post 2day transfer) It's like 1 panty liner every few hours.. Sigh. Still got chance of implantation? Usually my periods come 1 day after spotting. But am wondering if it is because progesterone is helping to block AF? Anyone like this before and still BFP? Anything else I can do? Feeling really like I am on roller coaster

Dearie, sorry that you are going thru this worrisome ordeal. When I had spotting during 2ww (if any, it happened usually in fresh cycles for me), I would call TFC immediately and they would give me a Proluton jab and ask me to continue with my support meds. There was once I was worried that I would be too afraid to continue with the Utrogestan progesterone inserts, the nurse advised that I can take orally instead if really could not insert. However TFC would not do BT earlier than 14dp2dt (equivalent to 16 day post ER) as they would want to see a certain hcg level (3-digit) to confirm pregnancy. If earlier, any hcg level will still be low and can't confirm if implantation progressed to potentially viable pregnancy. I also didn't have the courage to take hpt and my nurse also advised that taking hpt this early and in such situation is pointless as it would cause more stress since they have already given me the Proluton jab and won't be able to do more. I know kkh or others may have different practice so the best is to call them and explain your situation and follow their advice.
I would hope for the best while prepared for otherwise. Rem you still have to keep the pregnant till proven otherwise mentality - continue to eat well, hydrate and rest adequately while minimise active movements. What will be will be. Will be keeping you in prayers. All the best.

Thank you @DawnBB.. Yes mine is a fresh cycle. I called Kkh on sat morning and the only advice was just to monitor and call if there is full flow. But the nurse said they don't do progesterone jabs
yeah so I bed rested whole of sat and sun but went back to work today after I poas and it was negative (buay tahan, had to cheat) But oh well, if blood test can only detect 14dp2dt, then maybe I still have hope!
Hi Happy0341, we are cycle buddies. The medicine u mentioned I had it on Sunday noon, ER is scheduled on Tuesday.
I jus had my trigger shot.. Checked with nurse there n said to be taken today. So i popped all. All the best for ur ER tom..
Yup, I had it on the same day w my trigger shot. Good luck to u too! May all of us get bfp!

Dear sisters...
I would like to vent some of my own unhappiness at work... Sorry abit long. This was an issue related to the HL I took for IVF in 2015...
It all started when I applied for leave on a day where an audit takes place (Yes, I'm involved in audits). The audit date (in Jan) was only confirmed on 30th December but I have informed my boss on my intention of leave on that Jan period (for a short holiday) on 7th December... She was not happy.
After explaining to her, suddenly she brought out my issue on absence from work... ( I had 2 fresh cycles and 1 D&C which I took the full HL leave) The reason I took full HL was because of the nature of my work, need to walk around, sometimes carry heavy things or climbing stairs...
She tells me no one takes so many HL, and when I'm away, projects happen and I cannot be around to handle them... She needs someone who can standby for work... She further explained that because she can't hand me much projects to do and thus she can't evaluate my job performance and cannot promote me... I feel so unappreciated... It feels like what I've done daily is nothing to her...
But the thing is before I start planning doing IVF, I will always ask her in advance if there are any upcoming projects which she needs me to me involved. She had no idea too. Well, I can't be sitting there waiting for the project to come and be completed then start my IVF right?
I tried to let her understand how IVF works and y it is stressful. She didn't want to listen. I'm not asking her to accommodate to my personal issue, jus wan her to understand what I'm Gg through...
But who would like to choose the IVF route? It's not by choice... It's not something we want. Each and everyone of us here have our own issues and thus embark on IVF journeys. Now I'm paying cash for my cycles and I can't quit my job...
I decided to compromise by shortening my HL. Do u all know at least how many days of HL I should take after ET?
By the way, my boss is single...
