Year 2015 IVF mummies- to-be

@JT298 the meds will add on the MS. Once u stop eating (which shd be soon) then I think it will get better :)

Talking abt MS, it just came back for me in the 24th wk though not so bad as before. But sad la, cos the CNY food looks so yummmmy!

Anw happy CNY all mummies! May ur dreams come true and may u get to hold ur little ones soon!

@kymkym congrats!
I am with Dr Tan HH from KKH. He is so nice but v busy. U can try him but have to endure the super long queue.
For sleeping on sides actually i sleep on my right qt often. I don't think it affected anything lei.

Thanks. Are we meeting the ivf dr or gynae on the first appt?
 
You are a choosing a gynae to do follow-ups right? You can go to anyone you who pleases you. I'm not sure how kkh operates with follow-ups. I thought normally they will still be under the ivf docs who perform the procedures unless he or she doesn't do delivery.
 
I would like to think that our bodies are designed for babies to be born naturally. So unless there are complications that disallow for me to give birth naturally, I would go natural
 
Me too... I feel natural will be easier for recovery. Also, if u do C section u gotta wait longer before trying for next kid and I don't intend to wait long, judging by my poor ovarian response (which can only get worse with time).
 
How soon can we get pregnant if c section? My doc told me C is good for baby cos no stress to baby while natural is good for mummy...

With a good doctor and no wounds post-partum, these days you can start TTC as early as 9 months later (or some docs will say 1 yr).

I wld agree with yr doctor as I think it was almost stress free for baby (c sec at 39+ weeks).

had a c-sec w #1 as she didn't turn. it was super pleasant (we chekced into admission like a stsycation, laughing w the nurses on way to OT, chit chatting w my doc and anaesthetist on OT table) but cld just be I was lucky that day as all i wanted was to see baby. I didn't hv CL and it was manageable w the wound.

this round i wld opt for elective c-sec if my mum confirms she can help take care of my #1. Otherwise, will hv to try for natural.

Natural is of coz most natural-lah for mummy as almost heals within a few days but just wanted to share an exeprience that if any of you had to or want to go for a c-sec, it's not too bad :)

@chrisl, i m also turned 36 this year.. mine is ivf bb but i managed to reach week 38 plus into my pregnancy. i stick to my ivf dr as my gynae.. before i conceived, someone told me all Internet reports that ivf children tend to have cancer, premature or whatsoever.. pray in faith and don't think so much abt all those comments. if I have listened to all those comments, I wont have been pregnant now
 
Hi ladies... spent 1 whole day to read thru 27 pages... congrats to all mummies n mummies-to-be! Tested bfp with hcg 105 on 13dp2dt... felt that its slightly on the low range so am feeling worried especially my previous cycle ended in miscarriage. Today is 18dp2dt n past 2 days the cramps seems to be lesser and have no sore boobs, ms or fatigue... Really worried today so bought a clearblue digital n to my relieve... it shows 2-3 weeks pregnant n i only hold my pee for 2 hours. My official kkh bt is on coming Monday.. hope i can stay on in this chat for next 9 months! Happy lunar new year everyone n may this year be a smooth n blessed year for all of us!

Congrats!! Very happy for u! U may be very apprehensive abt this pregnancy but don't worry the odds are overwhelmingly in your favour. Have a gd CNY celebration!
 
Sorry ladies... need help n advices regarding some sensitive questions. These 2 days I've been bothered by the itch n soreness of my clitoris... not sure if it has anything to do with the discharge from utrogestan. Doesnt seems like yeast infection as only that part is itchy n sore n there's no curb-like discharge (sorry... tmi). Try to wash it frequently but still itch badly after awhile, if my underwear accidentally rub against, its painful. I dare not apply the anti-itch cream prescribed by GP previously when i had yeast infection as not sure if it will affect my baby... :(

I think u might want to see ur gynae to ask instead...
For me I realised that I could only wear cotton underwear during pregnancy. Anything else caused itchiness, so u might want to switch underwear... Not sure if that is also the issue for u...

I think most impt is the skills of your Gynae if you are doing C Sect. I ended wif e C Sect for my #1 and it was horrible.. But thankfully Gynae skills was gd. I was already walking on day 2 aft delivery n I have. Nice cut..
 
Hi ladies,
新年快乐 心想事成
I'm starting work tomorrow and occasionally may need to sit on the floor with students, do you think that will affect the baby as I know squating is not good?

Try cotton underwear or disposable underwear. If u are still in first trimester, better not to use any yeast infection medication. U can try asking for travocort cream from ur gynae from second trimester onwards.
 
I m carrying a twin n already at week 9. But was admitted to Sgh on last fri as I m passing fresh blood n clots on fri n my doc fr Sgh said I can be discharged today after 2 days stay.

Thanks hi_mei but my workplace only have cushion maybe I'll stack 2 cushions.
 
@himei thanks for your words. Feel more comforted after hearing fr yr experience. I was so stressed that I can't pass urine on fri as I alwiz pass blood whenever I go toilet.

@hopeful78 my doc at Sgh is dr Yu. What about u? But I nvr get to see her during my stay in sgh. Only heard that the doc updated her abt my condition n she said to discharge me today.
 
I rem after I lost 1 twin in wk7, I had spotting n sometimes clots till wk13. During this period, I vy paranoid n find excuses to visit my gynae Weekly for ultrascan just to see my the other bb still OK anot.
Until my dr said no need come anymore for time being cos He assured to me everything is OK unless I got sharp pain then need alert him immediately.. after tat I can only kp telling myself in my mind to b calm, bb is a fighter I must have confidence in her till my monthly visit..
Now I tik bk, how the hell I go thru those days calmly without showing my worries on my face.
I feel u ladies on the worries thru the early journey. This is,something that other mtb who conceive naturally won't understand wat we tiking..

Heya....no leh. My spotting stopped den after discharge of my second hospital stay, I was ok for about 6 days. Suddenly on Satyrday I had light bleeding & passed out a small clot. As there were 2 episodes I came in to A&E & got admitted. My doctor has given me blood clotting pills but I am still having light bleeding, especially when passing urine. I know how u feel.....I'm seriously stressed & depressed since yesterday. Prior to this I managed to overcome it but dunno why I'm emotional since yesterday. Ultrasound showed babies ok but why still got blood.......... :-(

EnH, hope ur bleeding stopped soon. I have been thru this previous cycle n i was carrying twins too... as long as baby heartbeat is fine n no pain its ok. I had very bad backache n pain back then when i bleed so mine wasnt good. Remember to bed rest. I know u wont be able to stop worrying... but maybe watching drama serial will tk ur mind off while u bed rest.

@izadah can understand ur stress. I so stressed that I can't pass urine when hospitalized and have to be on IDU( la pee bag attached). Cos everytime pass urine, I pass out blood first. Now oso having constipation as I dare not use any strength cos scared I pass blood n clots again.

@dollygal, eeznyl thanks so much for sharing ur experience. It helps a great deal to hear from ivf mummies who have overcome it!
 
Better days will come ladies. My spotting ended after trimester 1 too. Trimester 2 will give you other headaches like the results of oscar test. It is never ending.
Try to focus on the positive things like we are finally pregnant! I know it is tough but I'd like to believe happy mummies= happy babies.

Had sent you a pm
 
Ladies, kkh had called me... my hcg is 2136. Last monday was only 105. Doubling time is 38 hours. Is this normal? Im paranoid now... my last cycle oso increases too fast n ended up miscarriage... :(

Eeznyl, any chance u hvg twins?
Click to expand...

Could be... 2 embies were transferred. On 9dp2dt hcg was <2, 13dp2dt hcg was 105, 20dp2dt is 2136. If its twins, i hope history wont repeat. The previous cycle my hcg was already 185 on 9dp2dt. So it nv daunt on me that i might carry twins this time since hcg was detected much later. Can a healthy singleton has such a short doubling time? I read everywhere that it shld be between 48 to 72 hours.

Each Embie is different. Just as how earlier cycle it was esrlier implantation.

All i can say is try your best to keep calm until the wk6 scan. And perhaps the chance it cld be twins may give you some peace till scan day. Those are just averages - stay positive, as difficult as we all know it is to do so.

And congratulations :)

Im at exactly 5 weeks now. Just call up Dr benjamin tham to mk appt but was told he only see patients from 8 weeks onwards.. was given a date much later than kkh :confused:. Any good gynae to recommend? I was thinking of gg in for scan mid of next week.
 
U can just go to Any gynae clinic for first visit then slowly decide which one u want when stabilise.. I had my first scan wk6 n saw 2 hb...

anyone hv ppl come touching ur tummy without asking first? im kinda annoyed at that..
Click to expand...

So far I don't have Curz not big yet but I know I'll be annoyed as well if ppl do it. Im not comfortable. What I'm hating now is the truckloads of KPO's coming to visit me Curz my parents told some family members which end up more than necessary ppl know now & so irritating...most want to visit me in hospital which pisses me off as I'm not having vacation here. I'm here all depressed & miserable why I'm bleeding despite medications :-(

When ppl touch, what do you say to them? How to politely say NO?
