Actually it's numbers game from now on. You have 19 eggs right? Have they call you tho tell you how many fertilized?
Mine i think around there too, but only half mature and get fertilied, lesser survived to day 3, in the end, only 3 frozen. It all depends on the egg quality and sperm.
@pinkfuchsia Congrats! I didn't know you bfped

14 matured and 7 fertilized all average quality. Will the quality improve as days goes? Or usually will deteriorate ? So anxious now

Nope, likely next yr. Haven went back to see prof after the failed cycle.. Feel like taking a break first.Hi @Dreamscometrue
Haven't been active on this forum for a while; hope things are looking good for you.
I've been seeing TCM but not at Clementi. Have also took a break from TCM - I'm too nourished.
When are you cycling again? Dec? FET?
Good luck and 加油!
How abt you? When are u going cycle again

Hello everyone. I had mild ohss during my cycle and I would say that even the mild ohss can bring misery. Sleepless nights cos you can't lie down, can't eat or drink much, bad reflux after eating, can't stand up straight. The doctor had me measure my urine output daily which must be b/w 1-2 litres a day but I was only passing out less than 500ml. Faints, how to pee so much when I can't even drink 2 cups a day! Lol. But all is ok now. The bloat has subsided and I lost 2+kg in 3 weeks, seems like all water weight. So really if you cannot tahan pain please consider FET. You'll also feel in a much better mood in prep for a positive pregnancy!

@cowmoomoo 7 fertilised is very good! Try not to worry too much. At this stage, whatever happens, it is God's will. It is really out of our control already. As long as we know, we have tried our very best. Ping cang xin yeah.
@pinkfuchsia Are you still with NUH? Which gynae are you with now? When is ur edd?
@Dreamscometrue Yeah, take the well deserved break. In the mean time, try to tiao the body. Im a believer of acupuncture/tcm.
@mnadz01 Glad to hear that all is okay. When is your next fet? How many frozen embies do you have?

Hi all, so found out last Friday that I was BFN..it does hurt! Think I am over it and haven't seen prof yet..waiting for him to come back.
I have one frozen so I am guessing they would advice to transfer that after a month break? Is that how it works ? Or do u have the option of fresh?
I think I should be able to try next month - around late Nov..
I am confused whether I should quit my job to focus on this process..was anyone else in a similar situation? My workplace know about it and they have been super supportive but if more rounds feel like its hard for the rest of the staff and I would also be all over the place..

@SonyStar So sorry to hear the bad news. All of us here can understand the hurt and disappointment. Your menses here already?
I think you would have to consult whether you want to proceed with FET or another fresh. My humble opinion is... let your body rest before you try a new fresh cycle. If you want, you can do FET next month, since you already have a frozen one. Go and tiao your body with acupuncture, moxibustion and tcm medication.
Regarding your work, what is your concern since your colleagues and boss are supportive? I'm sure they would understand. And it would be good for you because at least your mind is off ttc when you are still working.

Thanks Cheeka! You are always so positive and supportive.. Much appreciated!
I have never tried TCM..I am willing to try it tho..any suggestion of good ones? I started yoga awhile back and go for regular massage so that's helps for me. And exercising more regularly and eating good home cooked food.
Got my period on Monday..I am only seeing prof on first week of Nov..the review meeting. Anxiously waiting to what he will tell me..I did three IUI with him and it been nearly a year so think he should know me by now..lol..don't think I am ready for another fresh next month.
As for my work, it was quite stressful and I am a person (my hubby says) salves too much and get caught up with it that I don't take care of myself so that's the reason. Although they r supportive I don't think they will like me taking hospital leave so often..i am a completely different person when I am home..chilled but Yeh I agree idle mind can a problem too..let's see how it works out.

Totally understand how it feels. Not everybody in my workplace knows.. But I guess eventually more will know if I keep taking HL.
I also had 1 frozen from first fresh. Prof advised another fresh cycle. His rational was, if I planned to have more than 1 child, eventually I still need to do another fresh. So better do younger than later. My own rational is, thawing is not 100% successful. If suey suey that one embryo din survive, then I would have wasted that FET cycle.. So I went ahead with second fresh.. So now I've 3 frozen. Not a lot but next round I shall do FET.
I also thought of quitting, but, I'll need the money if touch wood need more than 3 cycles.. After using up the grant and medisave, it will all be cash.... Haiz.. The dilemma

Going on long protocol this cycle, CD2 today. So if all goes to plan, ER shd be in 6-7 weeks time.

Prof explained I didn't respond well to short protocol, so change and see if it's better for me.
My case goes like this:
32 this year, amh on the higher side, responded well to gonal-f, was on 150 IU, and down to cannot remember how much towards the end.
Had 19 follicles - expected abt 12 eggs, but only 7
Of 7 eggs - expected abt 5 mature, but only 3
Of 3 mature, expected 2 fertilized, but only 1 did
So for every stage I was below expectation. So quite a bad yield la.

I totally understand about being responsible at work. If you feel taking a break from work will help, them go ahead.
What Dreamcomestrue said also make sense about doing another fresh cycle while younger so the quality is better. Let your body and mind rest for a while while waiting for prof wong and the next step. Jia you!

Yaya 2 princess and BFP-Ed with dr Loh... Thanks dear, all the best in your FET too!
@Dreamscometrue - thanks! Think we share the same dilemmas..I struggle to keep secrets so I know eventually I will end up telling all..i was surprised how well my boss who is male took it and the rest of the team..most family oriented ppl do understand..but sometimes it's hard discussing ur personal struggles in office..feel like too much info!
I do need the money too but hubby thought I could take a short break rather than get stressed and mess it up..plus I am overweight and struggle to exercise when I work late
All in Gods hands!!
@cheeka - thanks I will check out TCM and see how it goes..need to research abit

Hi SonyStar,
What type of Yoga did you start a while back. I also started restorative yoga mainly in April this year (then bfp, though miscarried at 9 weeks, as embryo died at 6 weeks plus); gynae said need to rest for 3 months (the m/c happened on June 13 this year), so I am now back to restorative yoga again. Feel that it helps too. I am with Fitness First.
What health club are you with?
Hi Cheeka
I am so sorry to hear! Stay positive!
I have only been doing yoga since July..at True Yoga since it was close to work. I didn't know what restorative yoga is until I googled it..I just do like Yoga stretch, Hot Yoga (on the months it was ok to do), yoga therapy..sort of beginners classes..I find it helps me personally to chill and relax.and specially when u have a desk job that u hardly move much..heard prenatal yoga is also good so I thought it will come handy later!

Haha, I am still a newbie to Yoga, but found that restorative yoga is also good for newbie or beginner to do, as don't require your mind to think so much while doing the poses, lol.

Hello everyone
Anyone has skin problem after taking mercilon and progynova? I had beautiful skin when I was having the injections. Then I started my FET and I get rashes/pimples on my face after taking mercilon and progynova. I have eczema so I wonder if it is just me or a normal side effect of the medication...
I'm going for my ET this Sat. Fingers crossed!

@thejewelbox - Hi..if you are below 35 they recommend that you transfer one - that's there stanndard recommendation but I got the impression that it is ultimately your choice whether you want to transfer one or two
I itch sometimes too.. but i think that was due to my usual mild eczema. As long i sweat i can get rashes!!
I waiting for my AF.. den start progynova!!

Hi all the ladies!
I would like to check, during the consumption of Noretistherone, is there anyday where the stimulation injection will overlap with Noretistherone? Or do we stop Noretistherone totally, wait for AF then stimulation injections start? Thanks in advance on the sharing.

Hi, for me, Nor E does not overlap with the injections. I stopped Nor E last Fri and my injections will start tomorrow. In the meantime, I got my AF. However I have checked with the nurses, it does not matter if AF comes or not. We just go in on the scheduled date for the injections.
