IVF with KKH (Tan HH)


I am quite scared actually. My first week no cramps but now starting to get increasing cramps at 9dpt. The last cycle I did had bad cramps throughout and bfn...
 
Mei, coincidentally his boss told him to work from home on some urgent matters. So he heard the phone ring. Poss guess the good news and shook my hand. Then went back to typing on his laptop.

So anti - climax. Hahahah!

I can't remember if the pearls are of any harm. But confirm nothing beneficially. Hahaha!
 
Hi circle n kitkat congrats on ur BFP remember to have more bed rest is important plus avoid watermelon for the first trimester until bb is stable that's what I do when I have the news. Enjoy the journey n keep ur mood happy :)
 
hi mei, dont think so much, every cycle result is diff even with same symtoms.

i think pearls are no good, even if its not cooling, its too much sugar contents. anyway i drink only when i crave so badly. imagine everywhere i go i saw bubble tea. so to satisfy my crave i go for soya milk with pearls. its like a treats to me two weeks once should be fine :) if really want to have it.

Hi all, a summary of my experience to help sisters:

This is my 2nd cycle. This time, Dr Tan put me through long cycle with lucrin, puregon and saizen. More eggs and better quality too. Transferred 2 embryos (grade 4). Froze the remaining 4 embryos (1 x grade 4, 3 x grade 3).
Diet wise, I have been avoiding cooling food since Jun last year. No more popiah, chin chow, ice kachang, white cabbage, bean sprouts, bubble tea, coffee, tea, carrot cake, lemon tea etc. Cold drinks occasionally like twice a week but stopped completely when long protocol started. Also started immunocal (1x a day) from day 5 onwards and increased gradually (3x a day) after ER. Drank H20 to help with OHSS for the first week after ER.

After that, came down with UTI (urinary tract infection) and sore throat+running nose. Couldn't take any brazil nuts, black chicken soup or red date/longan cos it worsens sore throat. Was trying my best to drink more water to keep fever away.

Not too sure if it helps. But I was on holiday in taipei in Jan and brought back a lot of those old ginger/red date/longan/black sugar cubes. Just add hot water and it will melt into a drink. The taiwanese ginger is supposed to be really good and spicy. I drank a lot of that in Jan like once every 2 days.

TCM wise, have been seeing my TCM doc (Ma Kuang) for the past 1-2 years. Every day 2 packets of powder medicine. During long protocol, no acupuncture but continued to see her once a week to measure pulse and get medicine.

Clothes wise, I have been using the belly warmer (from Daiso) since June last year as well. Keeps tummy warm. Also will wear cardigan or jacket when going into cold places (especially when you are perspiring). During long protocol, also wear socks to keep feet warm.

Symptoms wise, stayed at home throughout whole 2ww except to go see TCM. First week had OHSS so very bloated. Second week onwards, cramps started. Continued until about 13dp2dt. First outing was on 11dp2dt, but started spotting pink discharge. Cramping was the worst on that day as well. Drank lotus root water and spotting improved. TCM doc advised to walk less. Stayed in bed or sat on sofa as much as possible until BT day. Started to burp more from 12dp2dt as well. Always seem to want to pee from 12dp2dt onwards, thought not much pee. I always thought it could be UTI happening again so didn't think much about it.

Emotions wise, a lot more relaxed this time. Maybe because I have gone through it once. Also, I had stronger faith this time e.g. trying to surrender to whatever plans he has for me. Will try not to think so much about the outcome and the symptoms. But still hoping for the twinnies. Hahaha! So greedy!

Thanks for sharing Kitkats!!!!
 
Kimchi ger, it is not the heat pad. Usually at travel section. Pink/white/purple/brown in colour one. In stripes or in polka dots. Like a knitted scarf material. just a band to put over tummy.

Sarah. Let me know what kk says? I am sure my name is in apr as i went briefing earlier on. It is indicated on the paper.
 
Hi sarah, thanks for telling. No. I did not intend to go for tat since its optional and i dun really hav much leaves to spare. U gg?
 
I kinda suspect I hv PCOS as blood results like AMH seem to be on the high side. I read that women with PCOS hv irregular periods but mine is very regular. So kind of confused. Wonder anyone have similar issues?

Any advice?

baby sparkles, yes your turn will be next once you start your cycle again.

hopefully next week more bfp in this forum spreading more and loads of bb dust.
 
Wow congrats circles and kitkats! So happy for both of you!! It's nice and assuring to see sisters succeeding on this thread!!

Baby dust to all of us here!!!!!
 
But I understand high AMH may not be good either. Anyone has high AMH but regular periods and all hormones level normal? How did Dr Tan address that?

Feel motivated to start ivf after hearing the good news today.
 
Congrats circles n kitkat. I am starting ivf in mid April. Long cycle. Hope to join u ladies soon. Can I know what were your stim medicines pls.
