Hi ladies, long time no chat..... Hows everyone?
Baby gdluck for ur FET... U r already in good hands dun worry
YVes, how come u took till 6 tabs a day? Actually how does dr f determine the dosage of progv? I remembered when i did iui with dr f i was instructed to take one tab 3 times a day from d2 till d6 then stop. I m not sure whether i have estrogen problem but dr f suspected i have progesterone insufficent coz my luteal phase always abt 12 to 14 days only. Abt doing progesterone test, dr f in right coz some ppl with super high progesterone level but still failed ivf so thats the reson why dr is not keen on doing the test for his patients...
Dream long time never chat with u too |

LYn,
I don't wish to take 6 as well but no choice. I have a estrogen and progesterone absorption problem if put on oral medication for frozen cycle. For fresh cycle, I don't have such an issue. I guess we won't know how our bodies will react till we are at it.
Dosage for progynova was decided with each scan. Each try. I also started with 3 a day.
I know that dr fong yang gives 6 tabs of progynova to all his patients for fet. So, the building of the lining is very fast. By D9, my friend had her embbies transferred already. |

Baby,
Better late than never and remember don't do anything you would regret later (or the opposite as well)! Try to plan for your 2ww to minimize movement. Enjoy next week end with hubby but try to avoid crowded places. |

baby,
check this out: www.momscooking.com.sg
This place is about $100 more expensive than the other caterers for a 1 pax package. I have not tried it before but my sister has. She has good feedback on it. And, think there are quite a number of good comments from some mothers in the forum. You can take the introductory offer of 10 days.
I tried another place called Empire Food. It sucks. After 1 week, I wanted to puke at the sight of the food.
Vinwee,
I'm doing fresh cycle. Jabbing now. The same as before. Just do everyday.... |

Haha big day... Sound like im getting married...
Yup went to see dr f today... Done a scan.. Linning abt 6.7mm i thk.. Dr f says not a bad start.. Ask me to continue on progynova for a few more days.. Did a bt today.. See when i do et..
Told dr f abt i bleed when i pee after et tat time.. He say he nurse pull out the tube too fast and straight.. He say must swirl the tube out.. Ask me to remind him on this.. See whether i can hold my bladder for an hr after et.. I can.. Maybe he wont drain for me.. He apologise to me abt the ordeal i have tat time...
U gals know what thickness is good for transfer? I heard frm other thread is 12mm... Im less than 7mm now.. Like tat good meh?
Yve

baby,
for dr f, lining must be at least 8mm before ET.
And it must be of good quality. If thickness is enough but not good quality, dr f will not go ahead with ET. Another thing, if it takes too long to reach the optimal condn, he will also abort cycle. Lining on ET day.. I dunno. Didn't bother to ask already. |

Hmm... Lining also got good and bad quality ah.. Didnt know that.. Tot only base on thickness.. Dr f nvr mention abt lining quality to me all the while.. Now my lining is only less than 7mm... Duno how many days more to achieve optimal thickness..
U mention cannot take too long to reach the desire thickness.. Meaning how long? For those cancelled cycles, did dr f say what is yr thickeness?
Joyy
Still rem yr lining thickness on d14 scan for yr fet? And yr lining on et day? |

baby,
u can ask dr f. He will show u the scan. If it is of good quality, u can see 3 layers in the scan of the lining. If it is not of good quality, it is fuzzy.
As to how long is long, dr f will let u know. If it is not right, he will tell u. And, there is really nothing we can do abt how the lining reacts to the medicine.
Hang in there. |

Baby,
Hahah.. big day. Think this is bigger than your wedding day!!
Lining is good btw 11-13mm during implantation. So I guess fr ET is the same as well. Anything too think (i think 15mm and above) also not good. Also, lining is growing everyday, so not too worry abt the thickness of your lining now. |

baby,
on Mon if dr f say it is to go ahead, he will let u know when to do insert. Think should be abt 2 days before ET. So, it is not only from now till Mon that u are going to be taking the Progynova. All the way thru' out u still got to cont' to take Progynova. The lining will still be growing.
u seeing him in the morning? I'm seeing him in the aftn. Good luck to the both of us. |

Im so touched tat u r still following my fet even when u are not ttc-ing and busy with yr little one..
When for review just now.. Lining is 8.7mm.. Dr f says its good.. Et will be on thur.. Tonite start the insert to prepare for the embryo...
Went to dr zou for accup after dr f appt.. She say 8.7mm not good enuff.. I only meet the minimum baseline... Hmm... She say 11-13mm is good and got better chance... I also read frm web that 11-13mm is good... The web says lining above 9mm when progestrone is introduced will be best.. So i presume mine which is near to 9mm should be fine ba.. Hee.. Im surprise my lining can move from 6.7 to 8.7 within 2days plus... Dr f says today is much better when he scan for me... Phew..
Yve
Hows yr review with dr f? |

Baby,
Although we have not met, I really feel close to you since we went thru ups and downs together. So, will definitely follow you thru FET!
Great to hear that your FET will be on thursday. You must be excited and continue to be positive. If Dr. F feels it is ok, just trust his judgement as it seems from the other ladies that he is very picky. So, I think it is a great start! and really looking forward to read the rest of your journey!
Continue to go to accupuncture and I am really feeling excited for you. I guess you got to start ordering tingkat food. Is your hubby still with you? I hope he will be here on Thursday. |

Ya man.. Thou we not met but feels like we know each other in person...
Its good to knw our dr is picky.. At least we will be assured that our cycle is the best shot..
Yup will go accup everyday frm today till thur morning before et.. Dr zou close on wed but she has a few patients on tat day who is also doing et this period so she slot me in.. So nice of her.. And she mention her fet success is higher than fresh cycle.. Same as dr f.. I guess cos fet lesser stress..
My hubby will be with me on et day and fly the next day.. So i will be on my own the day aft et for a week.. I bought myself a book to keep me company hehe.. Ya i thk will order tingkat frm moms cooking.. They only need 1 day notice.. But v exp ah.. $125 for one person for 10days.. So one meal is $12.50.. Damm exp.. But no choice le.. At least i dont hv to worry my lunch.. Dnr will just cook sometin simple..
Hows yr little one? U spend how much on this adoption? Is te procedures simple? Cos one of my friend also interested in adopting one locally.. |

Baby,
Seems like accupuncture is really a must for IVF and it is really nice of Dr. Zou to slot you in. It is good that your hubby will still be here on Thursday. I think the first few hours are quite critical so he can pamper you before that. Make sure you do all your groceries before Thursday. Wondering whether you still need to eat brazil nuts and other foods recommended in 2 ww.
Anyway, get yourself ready since it is better for you not to move too much during 2ww and hubby not around to help you. I hope the food is nice...for that price, it'd better be!
Ask your friend to call the local agencies to enquire about their fees. Ask your friend to check MCYS website. |

Almost all dr zou patients are seeing her for fertility matters... And alot of them is doing ivf.. She is really popular.. But i find her accup not consistent im terms of the electric vibrations of her accup.. Sometimes not much vibrations.. Sometimes too strong.. I wonder why she cant set the currents the same..
First few hrs critical ah? Actually hubby also cant do much.. Cos i also dont need him to do anytin except to carry my bag when i discharge and drive me hm.. Actually lying on bed for 4 hrs quite sian.. Cant sleep also..
Ya my hubby also say he will bring me to ntuc before et to stock up food haha.. But canf stock up much also cos vege and meat also got its fridge life.. Esp my et on thur.. Fri can eat tingkat food but wkends no tingkat.. Duno how also.. The first few days of et most crucial.. I duno how to settle my meals on the wkends right aft et.. Hmm |

hi baby
maybe u can consider cooking porridge for wkends. just cook more so tat can last u for the whole day. just not sure if u like porridge or not or if u can tahan taking same thg for whole day.
u can cook plain porridge & vary the ingredients. tats wat i did the last time. my mum cook more, when i want to eat, i'll take a portion out and add in vege, eggs, etc and heat that portion up.
u can also consider boiling soup with all the nutritious stuff eg black chicken. |

Baby,
Don't know what I wrote that too. My hubby also not with me after ET! but of course, I made sure that he picked me up! I guess, first few days are critical to make sure embies stick to you..and not just few hours! but need to make sure that movements are minimised after ET, I guess...
About food, happyhippo has good suggestions if you like porridge. Otherwise, can always call food delivery but of course, not so healthy... |

Yup i dont mind eating porridge for whole day.. I used to eat that.. But cos cooking porridge also requires some strength and time.. And im trying to minimise that esp for the first 3-4 days.. My mum suggest she come my hse to cook me food..
Now im abit worried abt the pessary insert.. Last ivf my hubby insert it for me.. I nvr insert before.. Now i hv to do on my own cos he flying.. I started to insert first time yday nite.. I just inserted the third time.. So far so gd.. Quite easy.. I insert while lying down.. But i scare its not deep enuff.. I only insert half of my middle finger in.. Is it ok? And i try to lie down for 1hr 30mins.. |

Baby,
That's really nice of your mum and I think this is definitely the best solution. U can be pampered by your mum while hubby is away.
As for pessary, half the middle finger should be ok. Actually, you can feel if it is not inserted deep enough as the insert would flow back. After you insert, just put your finger again to see whether you can feel it. If it is there, push in again. Otherwise, it is deep inside. I also don't like this pessary...not really good at it either...1h30 lying down is really good. should be more than enough. |

Actually hor so long nvr stay with my parents abit not used to it now.. Esp when im used to the quietness afternoons when my hubby goes work and im alone at hm... I have the whole tv and sofa all by myself.. If my parents here then i cant watch wat i wan to watch.. Cant laze on the sofa cos they hv to sit also.. Hmm.. In fact i prefer to be alone at hm.. Haha... But got no one to help me with chores and meals.. I guess i will have them for the first few days to a week.. The second half of 2ww im sure i will be okie ba..
Ya i dont like the pessary either.. Abi messy and disgusting.. Actually when u insert lying down.. U wont feel the thing coming out.. I only feel it when i insert while standing.. I guess wih more practice i will get used to it soon... The difficult part will be the injection i have to inject myself after et.. Nvr inject myself before.. Somemore its not the pen type.. Its the syringe type.. I thk got to inject once on the day of et at clinic.. I thk i will do it myself to familiar myself with it.. Can save $10 also if do it myself haha.. |

8.7mm is v near to 9mm oledi. DOn't worry to much. Relax for tomorrow ET.
So you will order tingkat or your mum will go over to your place? Have you decide?
Eat porridge is good and easy to digest as well. If your mum didn't go over to your place, just don't wash your clothing fr the next 2 weeks lor. Light house chores should be okie la.
Remember don't take any cold drinks and food ya...
Baby dust and lot of luck to you. |

I don't think I could do it but you are right that it will be very troublesome to go to GP or clinic for injection. Do you think your mum could do it for you?
Vinwee,
Yes, I have a helper at home. My mum is here for a month to help me look after bb but she will be going back next week. Then, I will take my leave (on and off) and then she will come back in December for another month. It is quite stressful for me now as I have little sleep at night and still need to go to work! But luckily, not much work right now.
How about you? what will be the arrangement? your in laws helping you? |

I'll not let my in law take care my child laa... I mean is time for them to enjoy and do whatever they want, and not tie up with such commitment. Of coz they can play with the baby and take care if they like.
I prepared to take care myself if necessary. I hv enjoy many years, so i told myself, I only want to have child if I am ready.
I am looking for confinement lady. And we have 2 helpers at home. Will consider to get another one if I can't cope. Shall see how.
I think the most tricky issue is only when I need to travel. Other than tat should be okie. |

Baby,
Same "here"...Sounds like both of us are the "evil" daughters! Hard to please! Ah Ah Ah! Don't even mention in laws!
Good luck on your FET! Tell us the grade and how many embryos you put in. If 3, insurance is higher at 700 but it is worth it as it boosts your chance. Thinking of you!
Also wonder why Dr asks about blood type...may be ask Angeline about it.
Vinwee,
Your house must be big to have 2 helpers! Are you helpers experienced to take care of bb? |

Ya lor i nvr ask dr f why he ask me abt blood gp.. Forgot to ask him after the transfer..
3 embryos transferred.. Thawed 6 to get 3.. Not too good hor.. Only 1 embryo is 8cell grade 1-2... One 7cell.. One 6cell.. Dont sound too optimistic hor... Sigh.. No choice now.. Just got to hope for the best... I ask dr f abt my chances.. He say good chance.. Embryos is ok.. Lining is good.. Hmm.. Does he always sound optimistic even when its not? Or i can believe him?
Th transfer is abit difficult today cos my bladder is not full enuff.. As im prepare not to have the catherer so i didnt drink much.. Dr f say im testing him haha... Comparing this time with the previous one.. This time really took longer.. And dr f scan himself to find the best spot and keep tuning the monitor to find the clearest picture..
I hold my bladder for 1 and a half hr before peeing using bedpan.. I hate to use bedpan.. So messy.. The urine flow all the way back to my buttocks.. Haha.. Gross hor...
U gals know joyy is having singleton or multiples? She transfer 2 or 3? I wonder how is grade and will i be lucky like her... |

Baby,
Your embroy is good enough. I remember there's a gal doing FET here and the embbies grade is not as good as yours and she got preggy also.
Dr f will cross his finger and pray for you as well. Like Yve mentioned b4, if the lining etc no good, dr will abort the ET.
Good luck and rest well especially for the 1st week ya... Remember don't stay up late.. |

Baby,
You are right! The three that survived are the strong one and remember, you just need one! And your grade is really good. So, now, remember to stay positive and don't exert yourself too much. Remember our motto was not to do anything we would regret! So, please let your house be messy, dirty and just try to lie down as much as possible.
I am also glancing thru the other thread and it seems lots of bpf and twins. And can't wait to read good news in this thread as well.
It is good to hear that Dr. F was really careful and attentive during the FET. Just trust him. If he says good chance, he means it. |

Yep, enjoy the 4 month maternity leave! and if you can take some leave after that, it is even better. No need to hire helper so early. I think all of us enjoy/will enjoy motherhood as it is really hard for us to get there! so, definitely will take care of bb by ourselves as much as possible. |

Baby,
Remember that you only need one to stick to you!and from the other thread, many ladies got bpf with average embryo. So your one grade 1-2 is definitely good. The embryologist did not give you the pictures of the embryos like last time?
Ah Ah Ah TTC Master..I like that!
How is the Tingkat food? Enjoyed your lunch! It is a good weather to sleep in...lucky you! |

The portion is quite ok.. If u are not a big eater.. The portion can be shared among two persons..
I didnt order rice.. I cook my own.. Cos im eating brown rice..
Thou their price is higher than most tingkat.. I feel the food is really nt bad.. I heard too many bad comments on other tingkats.. The food came at 1015am.. Its abit early for lunch thou.. But the food is quite warm.. And the good tin is it came with paper container.. Not in plastic.. Oh gosh.. I sound like a promoter here haha.. Just wana share my experience w u gals.. |

Ya dr f did give me the picture of the 3 embryos transferred.. All 3 of them have fragmentations.. Its not like the two which i transferred on my fresh cycle.. The two look perfect with no or little frags.. But of cos they didnt stick..
Now just hope fet cycle will help me without the stress of the stimming.. And the accup will boasts my chances.. Dr f mention my lining is good.. He didnt mention this to me during the fresh cycle et.. I didnt ask also.. But i nvr hv lining issue all the long..
Dr f showed me aft the transfer on the monitor that he places the embryos where the lining is the thickness.. He really took quite abit of time this time.. Keep adjusting the probe on my tummy and the monitor.. He has to tell the nurse to push the monitor closer to him... Really pai seh to cause the trouble to him for not drinking enuff.. I hope this did not compromise the transfer to the optimal position of my uterus.. Im sure dr f is good at this.. |

Baby,
Promoter for Tingkat! Ah Ah Ah...that could be your part time job. But luckily, taste is good as you are paying a premium for it! I guess you are having the leftover for dinner tonight! Enjoy!
I am sure stress plays a great part for the IVF success and I guess that's why his success rate higher for FET compared to normal cycle. Your body is more in tune with natural conception.
I am sure that Dr. F did a good job for your transfer. Otherwise, he would have just asked you to drink more water. I think he is just being very profesionnal and make sure that all your chances are on your side. I think this is actually the most uneasy part for me. I remembered feeling really uneasy during that time. So, don't worry, ok. |

Did you manage to jab yourself? how did you do it?

The proceudures of fet is simple and et is just like fresh cycle except without er..
Progynova is given for 2weeks and scan done to see how is the lining.. If not thick enuff then u will continue with the med till its thick enuff.. I feel fet is really quitr stress free.. No need for injections to stimmulate.. And its much shorter..
Dream
My parents dint stay in.. They went bk at nite.. Today i ask them no need to come cos got catering..
Ya i did my injection yday.. Its quite ok.. Haha.. I scold vulgar when the med was gng in cos quite painful.. This is how i manage hehe...
This 2ww seems forever.. Its only 4dpt today.. God there is still a long way to go... My bt is on next thur.. I wonder shd i test hpt before bt.. Hmm... V scare.. Maybe i will see whether i hv any symptoms or do i feel preggy when the date is nearer... Really wish i can make it this time.. This fet feels like my last shot of chance thou i still hv 2 frozen ems.. Seein my thaw history.. I doubt i can use the remaining two... |

So, you can have the sofa and TV all by yourself! Very brave of you to inject yourself. How many injections do you need to take? For HPT, remember not to do it too early as you are having pregnyl injections. Remember to stay positive. You only one good one to stick to you! |

Baby,
It is definitely still too early to tell. And it is really hard to read symptoms. I remember reading that everybody has different symptoms, some have none, some have pre AF symptoms.... So, don't be disappointed. The battle is not over yet and you should definitely keep continuing to take care of yourself. Don't do anything you would regret, remember! If the wait is too antagonising, you can ask Angeline whether you can do BT earlier. Please cheer up. Battle is NOT over yet. As for Dr. F, just trust him and his skills. So many ladies make it under him and I am sure you will. Don't despair, ok. |

Thks for yr console... Hard on u to console me haha...
Dont worry i will be fine just wana share my feelings with u..
I had my last pregynl shot yday.. So cant test hpt any time soon.. I read frm web that for 5000iu has to wait for 10days for it to he expel frm body before testing hpt.. Hmm... Seems like i cant test hpt except to wait for bt.. Which is next thur.. Another week frm now.. A agony week for me.. Have to keep eating med and insert pesaary for a week before bt knowing deep down its useless... Adding useless med to the body for nothing...
The cramps started yday... On off only... But today is v strong... Its quite constant... Like af will appear anytime.. Most gals at other thread have sore boobs... I dont hv... This fet is my last shot hope for my ivf... Have to try a new fresh cycle with a long cycle of injections... Duno how much time to rest before starting a new cycle... |

Baby,
Battle not lost yet..AF not here yet, still have chance. Does your AF usually appear so early in normal cycle? Could the cramp be implantation?
I think the injections for IVF is not too bad. It is more $ and the stress (especially the 2ww) that I am scared off!
I know it is a hard time now. i hope your hubby will be home soon with you. It must be hard for you to be alone during this time. You are really strong |

Ya lor.. I not scare of the injections.. Its the cost and disappointment that i may not be able to handle well...
My af will not appear so soon... Esp now im on med so af will not come... But i usually will have suan feeling abt a week before af appear.. Which is why i feeling so negative.. But i hope its the implantation cramps... Im sure implantation have aldy taken place by now if the fet worked... So cant do much now.. I aldy rested more than the fresh cycle.. And did more tins like drink warm water... Wear slippers.. Eat brazil nuts... Lie down as often esp for the first few days... So if it still dont work i wont blame myself... Maybe its the quality of the embryos...
My hubby will be bk tml.. He is the reason why im feeling sad cos i hate to fail him... |

as dream puts it, it's still too early to say anything now. If it helps, let me tell u. I have a friend who did FET. She, too, thought all was lost cos she started to feel AF cramps and there was spotting. So, she went to do her bt early. It turned out that she is preg actually! She is going to pass her 1st tri now. So, don't despair just yet. Just fyi, FET is not a stimulated cycle so there is no need for rest of any kind.
Sorry, dream, sorry, baby for not coming in here for some time. I started on stimulation stage. OR/ER will probably be sometime next week. Body feels a little tired and starting to feel a little of the bloatedness.
Seems like all husbands like to travel during our 2ww. Mine won't be around also. If dr f's calculation is correct, my hubby will be flying off on the day I transfer. What a coincidence!! |

baby,
I went thru' suppression stage. I'm pcos, cannot do antagonist cycle. And, this time I requested for change of drug to Gonal-F. Super expensive drug, I tell u!! I hope it is all worth it. My dosage super low also. 'Cos dr is afraid I kana ohss again. To top it up, dr is super cautious. The greatest worry I have now is that he tells me I only have 1 for transfer on ET day!! He assured me that he won't let it happen though.
I'm ok. Not so bloated actually. The tummy feels a little tight. But, I'm fine. My dosage was 150iu and then now reduced to 112.5iu. Gonal-F dosage is not the same as puregon. Got funny thing such as .5iu one..
I know abt trigger shot setting in ohss. For my previous cycle, I jabbed the 2nd shot of pregnyl on my own at 12pm. At 6pm I felt sick already. Like what dr f told me, when the feeling comes, I will know now..... |

Puregon is aldy v exp liao.. Gona f is more exp ah.. Wa lau.. How much more exp? Puregon one box of 400 is at $450... Gona f is how much?
How come u will worry u only have one embryo? How many foliclles is shown on scan? But since dr f assured u that wont happen u can be less stress... Im sure dr f will perform icis to prevent loss of eggs.. So u dont worry too much ok..
I read that dr loh kkh likes patients with pcos.. Says that can assured that she will have more eggs to stimmulation.. And dose can be lower that saves $$...But of cos risk of ohss... So pros and cons ba...
U eating egg whites now? Try to eat more maybe can reduce the bloatedness... This ivf is yr 2nd try right? Did u did any fet after yr 1st fresh cycle?
Lets all jia you ok! By the time u go for yr er next week.. I will have knw my bt results... Hope we can both have good news.. |

baby,
I bought 2 Gonal-F pens earlier, they cost me $888. 1 pen for 300iu only. Ex, right? Today I bought another pen. Will have enough for another 2-3 days.
I worry I will be left with 1 to trsfr 'cos not all retrieved will be successfully fertilized. Even after successfully fertilized, slowly some will die, right?!?
Yes, this is my 2nd ivf fresh cycle. I did FET once. Unsuccessful. You forgot what I wrote in earlier posts? I very sad leh.. you forgot!! |

Yve,
Great to see u here and excited to read your progress! Dr. also recommended me to go for Gonal F if I wanted to go for 2nd cycle. Estimated costs was really high as my dose is much higher than you. I was on 375 iu for puregon (although I also have PCOS). So, it would really have cost me a bomb!
I understand your feeling. PCOS have lots of eggs but quality is often an issue. FOr my IVF under Dr. F, I had lots of eggs retrieved but only a few were mature and from there, only 3 fertilised but they were not of good quality (a lot of fragmentation). I guess that's really the challenge of PCOS! So, crossing fingers for you that all goes well. Are you doing accupuncture at the same time?
Baby,
TGIF and you can spend a nice week end with your hubby. Just enjoy each other company, ok. Don't think too much, there's nothing you can do now except to be positive and talk to your embies! |

Oh no... Dont be sad.. I never forget u!!! I know u went thru a unsuccessful first fresh cycle... And have alot of fet cycles cancelled due to lining not gd as u dont respond to the med... I do rem u... But i cant rem whether in e end u went thru fet not... Hee... Pai seh ah...
U dont worry since dr f assures u that wont happen... Im sure he will not let that happen.. Wahh gona f really exp.. $444 for 300iu... Lucky yr dose is low.. That time i have 200iu everyday... Cant imagine the costs... Yr first fresh cycle have lots of eggs rite cos u did went thru fet.. So now using gona f u should have more.. That time i have 20eggs retrieved.. 15 mature and all fertilised by icis... 10 of them is usable... But i thk quality have issues else the fresh cycle will not have failed.. And fet only have 50% thaw survival... Sigh... This baby path is really not easy.. It feels so tiring hor..
Dream
Im thinking to call clinic to request for early bt.. Not sure can or not.. Cos that time i did 2 days earlier but that time i did not have pregynl jap.. This time i have so maybe cannot.. Hmm... The wait is killing... |

Baby,
I thought it is SOP for pregnyl jab for fresh cycle. I had it. I also remembered that they allowed me to do earlier BT as I could not stand the wait...this 2ww is too torturous...just tell clinic you can't stand the wait and I think they would oblige.. |

Yup i have pregnyl for my fresh cycle also.. But cos my tummy was quite bloated so i call dr f asking him whether i shd take my 2nd jap.. He ask me dont.. Then my tummy went down.. I called him asking whether i shd resume my 3rd jap.. He say no need...
He told me at that time he knows i have failed.. Cos if bfp the bloatedness will only get worst and shd not went away... In fact i also knew it at that pt... Afterwhich my pre af cramps came that confirmed my tots...
So even before the bt.. I aldy knew so i dont feel the saddness when dr f called to tell me.. But was really feeling down at the 2nd week of 2ww when the bloatedness went away + the cramps... The same feeling i have now.. Btw i emailed dr f asking him can i do bt earlier.. Waiting for his reply..
Dream, what shd i do if this fet fails?
When shd i proceed with the 2nd try? Shd i continue with dr f? Sigh... Another long and costly journey...
Not sure whether i have to wait for my cycle to be bk to normal before i can try again... Cos before fet my cycle also hvt bk to norm yet... And this fet with all this med.. I guess also need time for it to return to normal rite...
I know i sound negative... But i just know it..
Im feeling just like every other mth before my af... Nothing special.. I know if really bfp.. Body sure have some kind of changes and signals... |

Baby,
HUG to you. Battle is not lost yet but I understand that you want to be prepared mentally if this FET fails.
From reading the other thread, it would seem that you could start fresh cycle quite soon as no much med from this FET. No suppression/stimulation/ER for FET..so your body should be quite ok.
About staying with Dr F, I really believe that you are in good hands and you can see that your first cycle was indeed very promising. So, I would continue to trust him. Many of us went to see many Drs and all of us agree that he is really a good and professional doctor. But I also understand your feeling/doubts. I also would not even know which Dr. to go to if I wanted to seek a second opinion. Prof Ng may be, but then it would really be awkward as they are partner. They also share same embryologist so it may not make much difference. Also, if you change Dr, you will have to redo the test...very sian...lots of costs as well...(unless you go for gvt hospitals where you can get grant...)
Your chance of success is high as both of you don't have issues. So, may be just need a second round to strike. Not many strike on their first try. So, don't despair, ok... you are still young..so time is on YOUR side... |

Recieve yr hugs!! Hee...
U really know me... What u said is exactly what i feels...
Even saying all negative tins here deep down im still hopeful but wana prepared myself for bfn...
I also dont wish to change dr.. Even if i want i also duno who to change to... And i certainly dont want to go govt hosp.. Dread the wait and the negative stories... So i will still stick with dr f.. Since all my history is with him.. And with a failed cycle im sure he will be more careful with my 2nd... And personally i like him...
As for when can start.. I will chk with dr f.. But even if its fet... There is still medication to suppress ovulation.. And all the pregnyl, pessaries, duphston and progynova... Im sure my cycle will also be mess up... Duno whether resting for a while will help my next cycle not... But abit anxious to start again... Really hope can be closer to success...
But having said this... Hopefully no need for 2nd cycle.. Hope miracle can happen this round... thou abit slim... My cramps continue today... Hoping to see my tummy more bloated or boobs sore.. But see nothing...
Thks dream for spending time here with me even thou u are not ttcing now.. I know u come in here mostly becos of me... To be with me for this fet... Really appreciate it.. |

But you have already managed 1 week! you are kind of half way through this 2ww! YUPPIE! BTW, Did Dr respond on when you can do BT?
Yep, definitely hoping to read good news here |

Hvt le... He wheregot so fast reply mail.. Usually he will reply first thing in the morning... So i guess maybe tml morning or mon morning ba...
To be honest.. This time round im more prepared.. Dont feel as down as the fresh cycle.. At least this time i hvt cry yet... Maybe not yet haha... Probably i didnt put in high hopes in the first place due to the embryos grade and maybe becos already experienced one failure before so more prepared in face with another failure...
Never expect im so unlucky... 4 failed iuis... Failed my never tot i will consider first ivf... And now fet... Those gals with more problems than me aldy went ahead with bfp.. But im still here struggling... Hopefully god will pity me and let me succeed... |

baby,
Just be patient..your time will come...no such thing as unlucky...just try to treasure what you have instead of what you don't...you know what I mean, right...it is always easier to compare with people better off than us but just think the other way around. Ok? that should cheer up...
lucky to have found your soulmate and marry him... |
