Thanks shiro_ger.

How long do they usually take from 14 to 17? Two days possible?

Cannot catch the timeline siah, though I've preempt my boss and team, but still feels a bit haphazard.

I'll try to take more eggs and keep positive! We just need 1 good one right?

Almonddearie this is ur first cycle?

 

[MichNg]

Forgot to say, my lining at day 13 only 7.5, triple lining. Humbaobao was already at 7.5 on her day 8.

Is mine okay? I'm more worried about my lining issue becos I have a weird menses pattern. I recall some sisters mention about triple lining which is positive?

Nothing to worry about. Triple lining is positive.
Don't compare with hum baobao as you both react differently to medication.

Hello ladies, during the stimulation period, if you encounter very bad headache, how you all handle? Do you all take panadol to stop the pain? What happened if you are sick during those stimulation period? Do we have to give up the procedure?

Or if we are sick during the 2ww? Do you go see doc and take medication? Im kind of worried as recently on the way to work, alot of people are coughing and sneezing in the train. Ill be starting my cycle soon i want to be healthy.

The growth is about 1-2mm per day and after trigger jab, growth will be slightly faster.
I ever countered a jump from 16 to 22 within 3 days. That one i sacrificed coz the rest of my follicle size are more uniformed in sizing.

We are allowed to take Panadol / paracetamol during stim. I had headaches Everyday this cycle. Sick - depends on how bad. Usually at ER, nurse will ask if u hv cough or flu.... Which I think is for them to monitor ur sedation dose.

Actually you dun need to worry if have triple lining or not. Of coz having triple is good, but it doesn't guarantee a bfp. I bfp-ed without a triple lining. Ultimately, it still broils down to the quality of your transferred embies, ya?

After trigger shot they will scan again?

 

[shiro_ger]

After trigger shot they will scan again?

So far for my cycles, no more scans after trigger and must retrieve within 36hrs from jab. Not sure if there is a change through.

Sisters after my mc and pain episode I was admitted for 6 days as sharp pain on right and left side kept coming back. Doctor decided to do laprascopy. Inside was a big big mess ....blood clots due to bad endo and had bowel adhesions seems like. Womb was swollen like 14 weeks preggy. Only good thing lining was lining was good and no womb scarring. Cleaned up everything. Was hospitalized for 10 days and paid 40k at private hospital. Totally unexpected. So in summary since ttc in 2010 I went thru 4 laprascopy 3 ivf fresh 2 fet and 3 mc. OMG!!! Surprised to be still alive as felt like dying during the pain attacks and after surgery. Doctor put me on 6 mth lucrin to supress menses and shrink womb due to adeno and I will do my 4th fresh in dec. Will do pre pregnancy tests with Dr Choolani in Oct. It's really rough trying painful journey. Physically emotionally and financially drained and strained. Somehow the mind and heart still have hope and faith and shall learn to be strong and pursue in this ttc. After going thru so much and since managed to conceive thrice I convince myself that am so close to success. Matter of time after healing. Jia you sisters.

dont worry, 7.5 is ok because you still have 2-3 more days before transfer so it will build up a bit more. most importantly is your embryo, the one that can make it will do

You are really a v v strong person...
To think that I was upset for my unsuccessful embryo transfer...
Hard work do pay off... Believe that one day we will be holding on to the prize on our hand...
Many Hugsss to you!

Ya I didn't expect this surgery but since pain kept coming even after I expelled all tissues doc decided lap to clean up. Insurance shud be able to claim major bill I think as it's endo related n not pregnancy. Pregnancy no insurance cover at all I think.

I am also a normal human being and when in hospital even thought of dying rather than go thru the suffering. Was having depression crying all the time. Hubby was my biggest pillar of support in this journey. Thank god for what I have and pray for what I will be given. Think 6 months rest shud be good enough. Now focus on healing.

 

[kukuangelia]

Hi Sueno, ive heard of icsi..i thought most hospitals will recommend ivf..can you share more on this? Like what cases will be more suited for this?

Hi wedelia,
Im under ICSI. Only when your hb's sperms mobility is low then this procedure is required.

wow mesara you are really strong-willed. I am so glad you got to claim most of it. I pray that all this pain and suffering will have a beautiful ending for your next cycle!

yeah I think stms we don't give enough credit to our hubbies. At times I wonder if we go through so much because we are gifted in other areas (wonderful hubbies, supportive families, financial security etc). Glad your hubby is there for u!! rest well now

Yes, kkh do freeze sperm for various reasons you may have. However, some doctor do not encourage as sperms may not survive the thawing process. Can call to find out more

 

[Sparkling_ee]

Nurse told me butt more pain?

First cycle I did the butt, pain. Second cycle the nurse told me since I wear shorts then do on my thigh, more muscle will feel less pain. Not true loh, everywhere is pain die me, is the pregynl medicine that goes into our veins that make it so painful
next cycle I shall try @hajar method

All the best for your cycle jia you @humbaobao

 

[hajar]

Thanks hajar!

Nurse will scan and after than doc will see you to explain progress? You still continuing on both Gonal F and orgalutren since first scan? Yesterday was my first day doing both at same time hope can tahan both all the way to ER. Don't know why the more I jab the more I scared scared and feel more pain.
