Hi everybody, i'm back after a super long hiatus.
@hopemiracle30 wow 27 weeks!! How time flies! I hope everyone is "cycling" well. I just did my med FET and it was a BFN. I really felt good this time round, felt more relaxed and zen, could even hold my pee for extra 20 mins after the transfer, unlike my first fresh cycle. However, at 5dp5dt, i started to notice streaks on my panty liner. I thought it was just spotting, but the thin streaks kept continuing even after i changed my panty liner several times. I could only get through to CHR the next day and Prof just told me to continue with my crinone but increased it to 2x per day. Initially i was still hopeful because i didnt think it was my menses bcos it was too early and the flow was less than my usual menses. But by day 9pd5t, i started to feel less hopeful because the bleeding didnt stop and i found a reading that said it could be menses but the progesterone prevents it from becoming a full flow. I did a hpt the morning before mybeta snd the line it was bfn. As sad as i was, strangely i felt okay, maybe because maybe i'm starting to feel numb.
I suppose my cycling has never been very smooth, i dunno whether you remember, during my first fresh, my vjj was itchy because apparently it was caused by the pink pills as this time round no problem with crinone gel. This second cycle, med FET, i had bleeding. Sigh...
Now my no-pay leave is ending soon looks like i have to out trying for another cycle on hold. My hubby also told me to rest my body, try naturally and prepare ourselves to look at adoption. My work also wont allow me to see Dr Que as often, only on weekends. In fact my hubby wants me to "rest" my body completely, ie not even acupuncture and taking the herbs. He is starting to doubt the effectiveness of acupuncture. As for me i still want to try acu..but im afraid the herbs will cause an adverse effect on me. The last time i took Dr Que's herbs, i didnt ovulate which was why i had to go for med FET. Sure it could be a number of reasons why i didnt ovulate, but i usually ovulate monthly, albeit a longer cycle (32-34 days) and the only thing i did different that month was i went for yoga often and i took the herbs. Nonetheless, i still believe acu could help me.
So now, im wondering, if i change to Dr Zou at Bukit Merah which is nearer for me, is she able to speak English? How much does she charge? I think i have spent close to $800 per month with Dr Que ($90x4 for herbs and acu per mth, $48x2 per week for additional acu) i'm really a little dry financially considering i am on no pay leave and for this failed FET, we had to cough up cash because we have used up all our medisave claims. So thats another reason why we are taking a break. Prolly try another FET in sept as we still have 3 frozen embbies.
@lingsan i think for fresh mine is about 13k and that did not include freezing i think. This latest FET cost me about $3500. But up to date, i think we have spent close to $70k on ttc-ing in the time span of 6 years which included surgery costs due to endo and infections...and Prof Wong is our 3rd doctor. So thats why if things really dont work out within this year, we might go for adoption. However, we will still not stop ttc-ing (naturally and ivf in the future) for our own..sorry for ranting on and on...
