Prof PC Wong - IVF with Norethisterone

Hopemiracle: All the best for your scan on 9th July and hope you can proceed with IVF shun shun li li.

I just to be with Dr Zou.. She is a nice lady but I so phobia of the needle so I stop going.. I think accu make more stress..keke .. so I do weekly massage instead before and during the stimulation stage to help in the blood circulation.. I think more relax this way... =)
 


Caramel: All the best for your IVF cycle in September .. Dun be disheartened by the previous cycle...Must have faith that it will happen okie... Jiayou!!
 
hi Miraclez - I was there at about 10 to get my jab - painful then got a bad cold - still having flu. I think it must be a bug I caught when I was in NUH. Feeling much better today - no more painful butt. So excited that you will start FET soon! Don't worry about 16 July - I am sure you will breeze it!

Did any of you take time off for the ET? I am planning a week before ET to take some time off work to just relax and take it easy. Although 2ww will be a whole lot of resting.
 
Miraclez - decap injection is expensive $317 - did you collect it yesterday itself - I waited about 2 days before the jab day and then called the pharmacy to keep for me. Kent Ridge pharmacy doesn't have the jab so you must call and order ahead.
 
CMR: Thanks.. I am excited to start my FET too.. =) I bought all the med yesterday and kept the Decap jab in the fridge as I will go down to jab early and go back to work and the pharmacy only open at 8.30am and they are very slow in preparing the med.. ha...

I hate buttock injection... Always very painful.. haha.

You telling your office that you going for FET? I still thinking if I want to tell.. Boss very gossipy and cannot keep secret... haiz...
 
miraclez - I had to tell my boss - bo pian! I am taking about 3 weeks off work for this and they will see a hospitalization leave from me so I told them I am going in for a procedure. My boss is angmoh and very understanding so she said go ahead and she has told my team that I am going in for a minor procedure. Didn't give further details. When colleagues asked I also said procedure. I don't want to jinx anything la. Just a bit nervous that all should go well.

Just tell your boss you are going in for a personal procedure - its personal - no need to give details if you think your boss will not understand.

Morning Morning.

Miraclez, hope you have recovered from flu. Drink more water k to eradicate the flu bug from your body and rest well
happy.gif
and thanks for your wishes, I also hope we can proceed with ER and ET eventually. Trying not to think too much ahead, taking one step at a time so I can be less kan jiong.

CMR,I have risk for OHSS too, but from what I gathered from the sisters from the forum, just need to rehydate ourselves sufficiently, 100 plus also can help. I am still thinking about immunocal, very lazy to travel to buy
happy.gif


Actually, when will you gals know if you are doing fresh or frozen? I keep thinking that I shd be doing fresh (since this is my first cycle) and if nothing goes wrong from jabs to ER, I shd be doing fresh. Didnt hear anything from the Dr or nurses, so I think perhaps Dr will share more on the 9th July.

I started taking Ensure milk and drinking red date longan tea the past week. Haha, cos I scare I will balloon up during the stimulation phase, I also diligently exercise to lose some weight first, just in case I put on a few kgs which some sisters shared they did, which could be due to hormone and fluid retention. Also cos of poor blood circulation, I think exercise should help.

Frankly speaking, I am slowly learning about the IVF journey like what is going to happen, what is required etc. I am that sort who will learn more effectively going through the motion, thus I am at the 'sotong' status. Maybe you can share more with me here.

Sorry for the long post...
 
HI Hopemiracle, Prof told me on Day 1 (because of my existing condition of blood disorders) that I am at high risk of OHSS so he will need to eliminate even the smallest chance this might happen by going through Frozen. Cos in my case it can be life threatening if I develop blood clots from OHSS. In some cases I was told that once you develop symptoms after ER then they will make a decision on whether or not to proceed with frozen and abandon the fresh transfer.

Don't worry about being sotong...Until I was going through it I was completely blur. Initially I was also quite intimidated by Prof. He and his straight face and bow ties
happy.gif
but after the ER he mellowed down with me cos mine was the first of the blood cases he has seen so that was good. He is actually a very nice guy and really wants you to get pregnant! So you are in good hands
happy.gif
 
Hopemiracle: I also have high risk of OHSS and I started to bloat badly during my stimulation stage therefore Prof also suggest that I freeze my embbies and do ET 2 months later which will be in August. I tried everything but this OHSS refuse to leave me.. haha... I got it from my first IVF and was hospitalised. Therefore, Prof was more careful this round.

Dun worry k.. you are in good hands of Prof. Prof is a nice guy, if you have question just ask.. He will explain to you...

If you have qns you may post here too.. We will try to answer you to our best knowledge..=)
 
CMR: I still thinking if I should tell... Actually I dun mind everyone to know I go IVF but I just feel stress if I BFN and have to answer a lot of qns....

But if I tell my boss, I confirm the whole company will know...
 
CMR, thanks for sharing with me.
Understand that this is really not easy for you. No matter what, stay positive ok?
I am like a little student who is looking forward to embark on this project that even though it is long and not 100% pass,still want to give it a try, learn from mistake and try again. I hope I can remain this positive when I go through the journey, be it pass or fail. Perseverance!
 
Miraclez , if you dont feel comfortable, dont need to tell. Just tell them it's female procedure and it's personal. Dont add more stress in explaining why it's BFN when it's already stressful enough.
In my case, I had to tell my boss that I will be doing IVF soon. Luckily he is very understanding.
 
hopemiracle - You're so welcome - I am a very private person but because this thread is with all of you going through the same process - I feel super comfortable. Actually it was my DH who told me to see if I can join a forum - will be better.

We've been ttc since 2009 and then found out all the complications I had
sad.gif
but from no hope - TMC and KK both said no to me going through IVF - Prof said sure lets go for it! So I know this baby is really going to be my miracle child! As will all your babies too
happy.gif
keep the faith - we will embark on this together!!
 
Hopemiracle: this is a good thread for sharing and learning. =)

CMR: do you have any idea once we stop merclion how long will AF come and the other med we will start as per the schedule or depending on the AF? I so worried will fall within the dates where Prof is not around.. although he assure me it should be after he is back...
 
Hopemiracle30, please share some of the soup recipes with us. I sure dont mind cooking my own soup when my 2ww comes!
happy.gif


I just bought immunocal few days ago at OG at $107, though my IVF cycle is not even confirmed yet. A bit too kiasu right? Heheheheh....
 
Miraclez - for sure yours will be after he comes back dear - don't worry. AF will come 2 days after. I am stopping my mercilon on Jul 10 and am expected to get AF 2 days later on Jul 12 or 13. I need to call CHR after that on first day of full AF and they will start a scan and then I will take the second meds - then ET
happy.gif
 
CMR: You are so "wei da"... I salute you for going through the difficult journey for your miracle baby!!! Jia you!!!
kao_kiss.gif
 
Miraclez - second meds must start I think on day 3 of AF after mercilon - I must ask CHR also not sure...I am cutting it very chun with Prof's leave - quite worried everything must go well.
 
Hello Cheeka - thanks dear all of us here in fact anyone going through IVF is Wei Da! Such a mix of emotions right?

When is your ER planned? Let us know if you have any questions and I will be happy to help.
happy.gif
 
CMR: When your next AF come I think no scanning. Just need to do BT.. If BT okie I think will start med...

HOpe everything goes well for you too and can do ET by Prof's magic hands... =)
 
Hi Cheeka, I will be happy to share the recipe, plan to cook, try and then if good, post the translated recipe online.

Shall we consolidate the cycle calendar over here?
like for me, I think mine should be July. Then we just add on and on by copying and pasting.

hopemiracle30: July 2013
 
CMR & hopemiracle30 , I'll be seeing prof next tuesday. That time is CD 27 already (my normal cycle is 31 days). Im not sure if he will start with NorE for 5 days, start without NorE or wait next month to start. My guest is the last one. I have no schedule as of now.
 
Hmmm.. Cheeka... you got to discuss with Prod.. If start Nor-e means you have to wait next cycle to start on CD18.. Cannot start on CD 27 de.

Anyway maybe he will allowed you to do without nor-e.. =)
 
miraclez - did CHR give you the schedule - its a one page sheet where you keep track of your dates. ON that form it says got scan on Day 1-3 of AF you know. Unless the scan they mention is actually BT.
 
Cheeka if your AF is very chun then he may not give you Nor E - but I am not sure on that part though..but keep us posted ok?
happy.gif
 
Sisters, I tot all cases will take Nor-E wef June ?

Cheeka, have u done all the per-tests? Gone for counseling?
For me, my last visit was June 20, went for counseling by psy and also signed the informed consent and also HIV blood test. Once all these r cleared, u r good to start. I may have missed out ur posts earlier, is this ur first time too?

When I was there the last time, the nurse just checked when is my planned cycle then she checked w me abt my last mensus, then she calculated for me to take Nor-E in prep for the cycle in July. And Nor-e will be prescribed from D18. I think Prof will share more w u on ur next visit. Don't worry... Just make sure u dun miss appointment dates
happy.gif
I was told that we need to track all the dates ourselves as CHR does not have facilities to send reminders.
 
hopemiracle - really? I didnt know that everyone was put in NorE good to know...btw...

did Prof give you guys any vit or folic acid? I read on other posts that he did to some patients but he didnt give me. Should I ask? I have been taking Vit E, flaxseed oil and Omega on my own but not sure if I should ask him?
 
CMR, now I am not certain. I thought I understood it that way from the seminar I attended. Cos the purpose of Nor E is timing the cycle (fresh ) thus it shd not differ unless special condition. I could be wrong.

I am taking folic, a must for all ladies TTCing. Taking blackmore conceive-well too. That's all for my supplements.
 
Yes, all cases from June onwards will be put on nor-e from d18 onwards. Cheeka, don't think about it too much or keep guessing, u will have clear instruction from Prof & Team when u see them on 9th.
happy.gif
all the best!
 
Cheeka I got appt with prof on 10 July. The thing is am inducing menses this round. Officially stop pills tomorrow and expecting af to turn up sun or Monday. Will do BT on mon or tue n see prof with BT results on wed noon. If I miss him
On 10 th next appt is 24.

Don't wanna waste any cycle. My cysts are big
Concern as well. Hope all goes well for us
 
Miraclez: Actually I'm fine starting in July or August, as long as that one time is successful!!!
kao_smile2.gif


CMR : My AF so far so good.... generally between 30-31 days. Of course there were times where it was 26 days or 35 days, but those were rare occassions.

Hopemiracle30 : Im done with all the pre-test (blood test, HIV, etc) in April. But my hyper thyroid was out of control then. Now, it's within the normal range already. That's why the delay until now.... If that is the case, probably I can only start in August. After waiting almost 3 years, sometimes i feel that waiting for another month makes no difference anymore...

Thanks Maomi!!! Good luck for your 2ww!
kao_kiss.gif


Sara: Your cyst is around 3 cm right? According to Prof last time, it's small, no need to worry (though I am also worried). Maybe when you see him, you ask for a scan to see whether the cyst is still there. I plan to do the same.
 
Hi tsf0205,
I tried ivf 3 months after lap. My gynae gave me the green light.
Anyone with endo problems here? Was under visanne after my lap to suppress menses & control endo. But after my failed ivf cycle, prof told me not to be under visanne anymore. He does not want to suppress my menses again but let the natural menstrual cycle occur.
But was worried of endo recurring since my next planned ivf is in sept. That means from now til sept, i have to really take care of my diet..anyone in similar situation? How do u cope?
 
Hi caramel I have bad endo as well. Was on lucrin to suppress menses in Jan but unfortunately no af till now. Just took pills to induce af. Worried abt endo and pain as well. Am seeing prof on wed.
 
HI Ladies - have a great week ahead.

Maomi - how's the 2ww coming along? Have you been tempted to check yet?

Miraclez - do you know how long after AF (from mercilon) will you start progynova? on Day 1 or after BT?
 
Morning Ladies.....

CMR: Progynova will start only after BT depending on the hormones level I think..

Maomi: how are you doing?
 
Hi CMR, so far ok, ending soon
happy.gif
Just these 2 days, no appetite n waking up early morning feeling hungry is back. Accidentally stretched my lower ab today as I woke up. Hope my 2 dearest are fine. Not tempted cos I've placed my faith and trust in God
happy.gif
 
miraclez - OK I sure hope my hormone levels are at the required readings - worried for that!

Maomi - you're a strong girl! Its will be great - don't worry about stretching your ab
happy.gif
I've heard so many do's and Dont's from various people for the 2ww. i'm just going to listen to my body and take it easy and like you said leave the rest to God
happy.gif
 
CMR, no lah, I'm not strong, I'm a human, I feel nervous too haha. Just that I choose to push away the negative thoughts.
 
Maomi: Feeling hungry is good....=)

When is your BT?remember to spread your bb dust here...We are all waiting...!!
