From a book that i am reading"What to expect before you are expecting":
It takes 30 min for sperm to reach the fallopian tube after entering vaginal canal. It takes another 15-20 min for the sperm to find the egg and start attempting penetration.And it take 20 min for the winning sperm to drill its head thru the tough shell surrounding the egg and offically get lucky. |

Hm.. Ya.. The most is 10 mins. After that I went out n waited for awhile more to see dr to look at the washed specimen results..
I am very curious.. The count is higher after washed.. How come?
Oh no.. After reading dian tang post, it seem like you really need to rest longer.. Oh no.. Sigh... |

Morning All, 4th day of jabbing. One more day before my first scan. Feeling very anxious on the outcome.
Saralyn, you should take leave and rest at home for a couple of days instead of going back to work immediately. All the best for 2ww. |

Saralyn, dont be sad. Think positively and assume that the IUI is successful. Start "talking" to your baby to give yourself the positive energy. Just be happy and calm. |

Saralyn, all DH's result is no good. Sigh...  Troops count is low. Motility is low too. Morphology is zero! I dont quite understand how morphology can be zero and what is the impact for the IUI or TTC. When we went through the report, the doctor didnt say anything about the morphology part. I guess he didnt want us to worry unnecessarily. |

Ok ok.. My husband has very different results in all the tests he took. One thing which is consistent is his 3% morphology. The first doc said don't have to worry with 3% but I am worry coz anything below 4 is considered as infertile.. His count has improved from the first first test which is a good thing.. But the latest one was the motility. Overall, he is still above the mark but not for the rapid portion. He has alot for the sluggish category.. |

Hi hope
I did not use any injection. Doc told us to try natural iui so no pills or injection on my own. Just told me would give me injection if egg is 16mm or so. For us, timing is always the problem. So have to go on mon again to scan and jab. If ok wld iui on tues n wed I go Malaysia till fri and that wld be over.
Sarahlyn
Your hubby is sweet and supportive. So far after we changed doc, doc is near my home so I wld go alone n meet my friends after that. Last time when I go kk n Thomson he wld go with me. It is very important for support as the journey is not easy. Doc said if ok then tues iui.. Hubby said he wld take urgent leave so that can go doc. Next month he is going Europe for 3 weeks and I can't follow him. Doc was lamenting so difficult to meet the time.
But doc also said to press on. Many succeeded. So will we. |

OK OK.. you still got afew more days for them to grow big big and proceed with IUI on Tuesday...
Yesterday at the fertility center, a korean/jap woman was giving her DH specimen for washing to do IUI. The counter girl told her her husband must be there to submit else they will not process to wash. I think her husband cannot make it and she was crying there. So sad.. Went through so much already and at the last part, it did not go tro smoothly.. |

Morning ladies,
Anyone doing IUI this saturday? We can be cycle buddy.
For trigger shot, which brand you all got? Mine is Ovidrel this round. Previously doc gave me Pregnyl.
During IUI, did doc ask you all to have full bladder before the IUI?
Sorry, seems to ask a lot of questions. |

The nurse told me to bring along the balance medication from the jab. She told me to keep it with an ice pack and bring along. I have a friend, she told me i should have skipped SO-IUI and gone straight to IVF. Thtz what she did. She said waste money and time going thru other procedures. But i feel tht at least if i tired IUI and in case things doesnt work *touchwood* out at least got another hope for IVF. |

Hi Hope,
When I went to see doc, he said to try IUI for at least 3 times then proceed to IVF.
I think it's better to start from small steps. Dun worry, you're on the right path. |

I have the thought of going straight to IVF previously.. I think my husband and I are not mentally prepared for all the jabs.. And personally, I feel we should give IUI a try. If it failed, then maybe considered IVF. Don't straightway go to IVF without give IUI a chance..
that's my 2 cents tot..
Like what jessica said.. Dont give up!!!! |

Agree with sarahlyn, my close friend's sis went through ivf as it was tough. Don't think I can do jab everyday on my own. To give ourselves more chances, less tramantic is iui.
Patience and determination, our wish would come true. |

I think IVF is invasive procedure cos of the extraction of egg and more injections than iui .U have to get mentally prepared according to my fren who did IVF .
Ladies, we can do it if we have the will !! |

Hi Peggy,
It was a painful experience for me as doc said my cervix were rather tight. But he said it's definately inside already and egg released.
Now is the waiting game.
How abt yours? Not easy to hold full bladder. Keke... |

Hi Dragon and dian tang,
Thank you!!
Mine was a natural cycle of IUI.. Went in for my scan on Day 12 morning.. Dr said was already 18 mm, asked me to go back between 5-8 pm for the Ovidrel jab.. Then the IUI procedure was done on Day 14 at 10.30 am.. The appt was for 10.30 am and it was done pretty punctually.. The Dr scanned first to check if I had ovulated, and apparently I had just ovulated, so it was supposed to be good timing.. Then it was kinda funny, cos after the procedure, the nurse told me to rest and even got my hubby to come in and accompany me.. Think she forgot to tell me when I can get up.. 30 min later, the nurse realised I hadn't come out of the room, so she came in.. she was laughing and said forgot to tell me can get up already, then she said nvm, the longer the better
We only BD abt 5 days later, and again abt another wk later.. When I tested positive and went to the Dr when I was abt 5+ wks preggy, Dr said not to BD for the moment, we were like 'oops..'..
I din really take any tonics, just continued with my essence of chicken, which I started taking on alternate days from last july.. But during 2WW, I took it everyday cos I tot need more proteins.. but went back to alternate days when I ended up with sore throat after 2 weeks.. I'm not sure if it mattered, but I din take any cold drinks at all during that period too..
Oops.. hope I'm not too long-winded.. heehee |

Hi dragon chew,
Was ur IUI done at NUH? Mine was done on a pretty quiet morning, nobody else seemed to be waiting, maybe dat's why they juz let me rest..
Stay positive n take good care of yourself.. Have good rest and eat healthy.. Sprinkling loads of baby dust on you |

Hi dragonchew,
Starting from 3dpIUI, I started feeling soreness in my breasts and lasted all the way, even until now.. And occasional slight cramps.. Other than that, not much.. Prof Wong told me to test on 21dpIUI but I was a little anxious and tested on 20dp..
Yup want to deliver in NUH.. Happy with the doctors and nurses so far.. But Prof Wong does not deliver anymore, so will have to choose another doctor when pregnancy stabilises.. Thinking of Prof Rauff but heard she's very popular so might not be able to get her.. How do you find Dr Stephen Chew? |

Morning Min81,
After the iui were you given duphaston?
Sat is the third time I saw him. So far I find him friendly and humorous. I heard about Prof Rauff too. But heard she's fierce. Haha...
When you going for your scan? Scan at week 6 or 8? |

Hi ladies.. So irritated! When I went for my first scan on sat... The doc said I had 2 big eggs and told me to carry on jabbing to get a third egg.. So on sat and sun I jab and today morning I did my 2nd scan and there were 4 -5 big big eggs!!! So they are saying now they can't go thru with the procedure becoz high chance of multiple preg. So irritating!! The nurse cld have told me to stop jabbing since there is already 2 big eggs.. Now I'm worried I have to go thru the whole steps again and waste another month. |

Hope: Huh? that was very bad of them. you wasted your time and pain to go tro all those jabs and now telling u u gotta cancel? How big are you eggs? Actually when I did mine, I had 4 eggs too on CD 12. there were 20, 17, 16 and 11. I took the trigger shot on that night and CD14, I went for IUI. I did not have any scan thus, don't know whether they have grown bigger or not.
Dragon: Haha.. I wanted to test earlier but lazy. Hm.. After the IUI, I have been feeling very sore/achy ard my pelvic/thigh area.. not all the time but every now and then.. and during some part of the day, it becomes so bloated.. I can't eat too full for dinner.. |

Hope: that's the thing about KKH.. I was with them previously.. for me, i didn't have a good experience with the docs there.. nurses still ok.. and so, decided to change..
Dragon chew: Hm.. I suspect is those jabs.. before the trigger shot, I was worst.. I puked every few days after dinner and I was soooooo bloated.. my husband was so scared by all my puking during those time. When I said full, he will not let me eat anymore. Haha.. |

Actually i dont understand why you need to abort this cycle cos by looking at the size of your follices, only 3 of them instead of 6 cos in order to do iui, min size is 18mm. Shd get 2nd opinion before leaving hosp (if i were you) |

Hi Drangon Chew,
I wasn't given Duphaston after the procedure.. I was only given that after I went in for scan at 5 weeks and it was confirmed.. I have to go back again at 7 weeks.. Prof Wong said hope to hear heartbeat by then so I'm feeling really anxious.. not planning to tell my family till it's more stable..
Babydust to all!! |
