IVF/ICSI Support Group

thanks @iewezs , how was your amh?? cos mine is quite low too.

im telling myself don't worry cos there is absolutely nothing i can do about it! but 2 seems really few! and dr lim (substituting prof) also said it's rather low and we won't be expecting even 10 follicles by the end of stims, which sucks for me, cos i need to do pgd somemore.

praying the gonal f and menopur will wake my sleeping beauties up!

Mine's quite high but i learnt to take those numbers with a pinch of salt after my first failed ivf. Just remain positive and do your best... eat more protein like egg whites! You just need 1 good embryo, think quality not quantity.
 


Hey gal, dont give up. Keep trying. i feel you. I failed my second fresh too didnt go till ET as fertlised eggs were not of good quality hence didnt last till ET. So i will be doing my 3rd fresh in Aug.
Hey babe, are u with KK too? Let's jia you for our third fresh! Anything else you would do for the 3rd fresh? I'm going to try the endo scratch and probably take DHEA.
 
anyone with Dr lim @NUH? He didn't managed to scan the follicles on my right ovary whereas another doctor at CHR managed to do it...I'm under subsidy so cannot choose doctor...wonder if anyone succeed under Dr Lim?
 
Hi Happynods, the baseline Antral Follicle Count doesn't really matter according to Prof Wong. I had 3 on each side for mine and I was worried then as it did sounded little. However, as you inject yourself, the follicles will grow. I ended up with 16 follicles at the last scan before ER. So don't worry!
Hi did u remember what was the dosage of the stim u were on?

Anybody got infection or yeast infection after the utrogestan inserts? Its lik 2wks after my 1st cycle n I feel lik sore at the v..
hi jeslyn, I did! I had yellow discharge and told prof Wong about it during the review. he did a swab test and confirmed I had some bacteria infection so I needed 7 days of antibiotics ( more vaginal inserts zzz!). get your doctor to confirm

I didnt feel any uncomfortable inside my virgina but i do have pimples at my '2 piece meat' haha!
Very very uncomfortable and it hurts. I got about total of 6 pimples. 2 of it grow near my virgina. I have to keep it real clean with lactacyn(prescribed by Dr Wong) & apply powder everytime i pee.
 
Hi ladies,

Do we need to bring anything in particular when reporting first day at KKH for fresh cycle? I have seen some of you mentioning ice bag but was not specifically told by the nurse.

Started to spot last evening and my AF likely to come in flow blown later today. If I call tom morning, am I likely to have to rush down tom or will be asked to report on Friday?

I didn't bring anything except extra pads. Need ice bag?? For the injections? The pharmacy will give ice packs. If you go home straight after, you should be fine.

If your full flow comes after 12 noon today, they will take it that your first day is tomorrow and hence schedule your first scan on Friday.

Hi Jeu, why doc gave you ovidrel? I dont have to take it. The box was returned to CHR on my ET day.

Hmm that's weird i thought it's the same for all prof's patients. The nurse said it's good for implantation. Jab me twice. How is your blood test?
Im not sure, i realise same Dr will not be receiving the same treatment.
Tml is the day. Hehe~

Ovidrel can also be used as a trigger jab. Can't rem what it's made of but it makes your body think that its pregnant.. That's what the nurse told me

Don't think it's used as a trigger jab cos nurse jab me after OR not b4. It's made of hcg so my body may think its pregnant.

I used ovidrel as a trigger jab for my second fresh.
First fresh was triggered by suprefact and after OR and ET, the nurse jab me with ovidrel.

According to the nurses, ovidrel essentially acts like the luteinizing hormone to help boost estrogen and progesterone in your blood levels for better implantation
 
ladies who have experienced failed fresh IVF, does it take a long time for the 2nd period to come? I did my first fresh and period came day after the beta blood test confirmed bfn. however my second period is taking forever to come! I'm almost 8-9 days late

it's common - the hormone meds will mess up your cycle.

Hihi, same case for me too. 7 days late on second period. Think I did not ovulate in that cycle too. I'm into my third cycle.. Waiting to ovulate and try naturally till next IVF. Not wasting any opportunity
 
what does the oestrogen levels mean?

prof decreased ur dose cos ur eggs were growing well?

Not sure. All i know is that high estrogen levels do relate with higher no. of follicles so thats good in a way but the higher the estrogen, the higher chance to get ohss also which is not good. Guess need to strike a balance between the two.

Oh my i had the same problem and i thought it was just me. Never had pimples in my v areas or bikini areas. Tot it was too heaty for me becos of weather. Didnt know i was not the only one. Ya man very painful. I had like 2-3 pimples in my bikini areas where my panty line wil always rub against it. Was so painful, i applied med and cover it with tissues so that my panty line wont rub against it. Sigh...why do we have to go through this.

I guess no choice...:( this is only the prelude...imagine the infamous morning sickness for a stretch of 8-12 weeks..:p

Thanks aurelie. I was wondering whether it gives a false positive on the hpt.

Any of u had a false positive on hpt then blood test turn out negative?

Some ladies will test until it's neg on preg kit.. Then u know the hcg is out of your body.. Anything positive after the negative is BFP!
 
I had repeated implantation failures despite transferring excellent or good grades embryos. While likely the embryos may not be chromosomally normal despite looking good, Dr Loh suggested to try intralipid as a prevention for potential immunology issues causing implantation failure as in any case, the treatment is low risk (non invasive and rare side effects).
When is the intralipid done? I ll not see my doc (at kkh) till ET... do i need to see my doc before my ivf to discuss the matter? Thanks.

It is done either on ET day itself after ET or a few days before ET. Then if confirm bfp, at least another one around week 6. Some clinics do not provide intralipid (eg kkh) and those who are still interested in the treatment will see Dr Loh at his prIvate O&G Specialist Clinic at TMC where he or his partner can provide the intralipid treatments.
 
Ladies, do we take chicken soup/ essence from stimulation? Or only suitable after ET? What about red bean soup?

Starting to feel abit lost and trying to plan what to take at which point. Looks like a fair lot needs to go into the diet!

Hi Miloqueen,
When i start my first jab, i didnt specially brew tonics etc. I only drank red date drink every 2 days. This drink can help our womb to keep warm. I also make my own tonic soup (red date,gou qi, huai san, chicken thigh, longan) and drink maybe once a week.
Note: too much tonic will retaliate the effect. Keep calm!
 
Hi ladies,

Anyone done natural FET before? Usually can the embryos and blastocysts survive after thawing? I am start my first Natural FET in sep. super nervous as i only have 2embryos and 1 blastocyst. Really hope they can survive the thaw.
 
U can request to him during et. I requested Jab instead of insert and was given daily Progestrone jab. It was quite troublesome cos I have to go kkivf to jab everyday. The oil base jab is painful as well n imagine u have to jab till BT date.

Hey Bunny, I thought theres progesterone jabs that we can inject ourselves? I read its new and more eassier to manage. Travelling to kkh everyday doesnt sound like a good plan.
