Thats what i feel too... we are getting older and we have no idea when zika will endHi bbhopeful77, mspopee, I too am proceeding..my view is our eggs keep ageing but Zika is here to stay, so just proceed? At least I'm prepared to!
Shiro_ger, thanks for the info. So I also need to take note of the blackout periods. Will take this into consideration when planning the schedule with my doc.
Lol, actually I a bit superstitious, went to a Fengshui master before and he said I can only get pregnant this year, Year of the Monkey. If not, no chance already. That's why concerned about the blackout period. >.<
Hi jean,
I did my PGD in Nov 2015. I got my BFP in Feb 2016. My Edd in next month - hope all goes smoothly!
Hi cat, any reason why the dr ask u to go for 3rd rd of iui? If it's male factor, most docs are willing to recommend Ivf without having to do 3 rounds of iui.Hi Ladies
I have failed 2 cycles of IUI and will be taking 1 more cycle next month. If fail again, I will be going for IVF. Already turning 39 next year and can't drag this anymore.
Feeling a bit apprehensive. Is IVF procedure really painful during injections and egg retrieval? I had injection for IUI and it wasn't painful. But someone told me that the injection pen is different for IVF.
Also, heard that it's advisable to get bed rest during the 2ww?
I don't mind going through the pain and all just to have a baby, really. But still, some mental preparedness would be good...
Thanks all

Which hospital are u with? My hubs has Low count and poor morphology, so the dr recommended Ivf after just 1 round of failed Iui. Hmm but since u alrdy scheduled, thk OK to just proceed with the last round now..hope u get lucky and strike so u no need go thru Ivf.
The Ivf jabs are not that painful (at least for gonal-f and the orgulstran blocker, not sure any other drugs like menopur)...most of us here have gone thru at least 1 round...good luck and all the best!
My Gynae is Dr CT Yeong. The Bkk clinic is called Superior ART.@xiaomyang
Who is your pte gynae in sg n Dr n clinic name in bkk?
Gals,
Just beware most repellents have an ingredient "deet" that is not very good for pregnant lady. I recently bought essential oil natural repellent online as preventive measure.
I agree with age catching up too!!
Let's jiayou together! Good luck to everybody!
Xiaomyang, you have done PGD in Sg before? What are the conditions pegged to it for Sg? Any idea what's the approximate cost?My Gynae is Dr CT Yeong. The Bkk clinic is called Superior ART.

Congrats xiaomyang, have a smooth delivery next month! Thanks for the info shared.Hi jean,

Can you advise in what way Deet is not good for pregnant ladies? Can share any articles pls? Been reading that repellents with deet are most effective and safe to use for pregnant ladies. Essential oils are not as effective and long lasting comparatively.Gals,

Hi almonddearie,Xiaomyang, you have done PGD in Sg before? What are the conditions pegged to it for Sg? Any idea what's the approximate cost?
@happynods will know, she did pgd in sg not long ago.Hi almonddearie,
I think it's not possible to go thro PGD in Singapore unless you have known genetic issues. Your doc will need to write a letter on your genetic issues to appeal to have PGD done and it may take some time.
Recurrent implantation failure is not a valid reason to ask for PGD in Singapore. So I don't qualify for PGD in Singapore. If I rem correctly, other ladies in the thread have previously shared with me that SG PGD alone could cost $10k which is not cheap.
Hi all,
FYI

Deet has been shown to be safe in the second and third trimester of pregnancy. However, during the first trimester, it should be sprayed onto the clothing instead of the skin to minimise absorption (from article)
Thanks Ms Popee!
That means when ttc or tww, cannot apply directly to body too. But sprayed onto clothing eg dress would protect legs and arms meh? How ah? How do u all work around this?

Hi sisters here, I have done 2 round of ivf n no frozen and i'm turning 38 soon. My menses is getting lesser n lesser from recent yrs from 3 days to only 1 day of full flow. Is that mean i'm moving towards menopause soon as I started my period as early as at age 10. Will I have no chance to get preggy anymore? Doc mention b4 I did my 2nd ivf, I have PCOS. PCOS make it more difficult to get preggy n I have lots of peers pressure with all my friend with kids. Feeling lost n extremely sad.

I also have PCOS and my dr won't let me take dhea. Same also with you, I have done 2 rounds of fresh, plus 2 frozen transfers.
I feel lots of pressure initially too but I openly tell them that it's out of my control. Already doing our very best. Take comfort in that, however little it might be.
Our turn will arrive, have faith.
I was diagnosed with PCOS too but i have 2 boys now with 2 other occurrences of MC. So it doesn't really mean there is no chance or low chance when we have PCOS.Hi sisters here, I have done 2 round of ivf n no frozen and i'm turning 38 soon.

I read that it had androgen hormones which may elevate your PCOS symptoms and increase chances of fibroids.MichNg,
Just to ask the reason on why pcos patient cannot take DHEA ? I am also a PCOS patient ....
Can get blackmores coq10 from guardian and watsons.Hi sisters,
supplement from IHerb, is it safe ?
Any place other than IHerb can buy CoQ10 Ubiquinol from ?
They will give you an estimated delivery date when you place your orders, usually is quite fast...I did get my orders at times within a week...Can get blackmores coq10 from guardian and watsons.
I'm also thinking the same as you.
Also, how fast is iherb delivery?
Yes you will. Normally within 2 to 3 hours. All the best!hi can anyone advise if we r able to know the BT result at the end of the 2ww on the same day?

Cindy do you mind me asking if the total medicated Fet exceeds $3500? How many embryos did you thaw? I have 4 frozen and out of them, 2 are only 2 cells. Am concerned if they can survive. Tks in advance.
Thank u!!Yes you will. Normally within 2 to 3 hours. All the best!

Hihi.. thanks! U r under Dr Loh too?
Ummp my FET costs abt $3.2k but can claim medisave of $2.5k.. I thawed 2 embryos and both of them survived for a D2/3 trsf.. E embryologist did inform before the FET tt they will thaw another embryo if Wat they had thawed initially did not survive..
Hi
I need advice. I failed my 1st ivf cycle around 15 Aug and stopped all support. That time my HCG was very low, around 40 only. Menses came about 5 days later for about a week. Hence, i was expecting my hcg levels to drop back to normal quickly,
Today, 3 weeks later, I use clearblue and it says 2 to 3 weeks preg. Does that mean there's still uncleared tissues and i need to do d&c? Or it could be ectopic?
Thank u!!Yes I am under him too. Tks for reply. It's great to know both your embryos survived and hope they are fighing strongly inside you now!
@happynods will know, she did pgd in sg not long ago.
