Thanks! I told hubby this sun his bday dinner I can eat whatever raw stuff I want. Heck care already.

I am using utrogestan. Was thinking if I should continue. My hubby ask me to continue.. Hmmm

Although bleeding has reduced but given that I am 13dp2dt, unlikely to be false negative from the hot right?

Nothing is final until the blood test result is out. Dun give up!
 
Hi mummies/ MTBs, I am back again. I joined this threat a few years back when I was going through IVF. Had my first child in 2013 and now trying for #2. Will be embarking on my IVF in August so would like to connect with all of you for some moral support. :)

U should continue.. That's what the nurse told me.. Continue and wait for BT.. I had spotting yesterday and today.. I feel like it's gone case already.. Hai..
 
sisters, need to check on food to take during TWW? I have been drinking the eu yan sang chicken essence with red dates and wolfberry since my ET last friday. I would like to know if it is okay to take the chicken essence with American Ginseng, Cordyceps & Huaishan Extract during TWW?
Just sharing, after my ER, a nurse told me to avoid Ginseng, as it ll sort of induce menses. Guess this may apply to after ET too. Good luck!☺

@hopeful13 may want to continue the support since the bleeding has reduced. Wait until your BT result first.
 
@Twinkleting does it mean if have 5 frozen they will thaw all or ask u hw many to thaw. Then let's say if 3 survive they will transfer 2 and again freeze that thaw one. Sorry am totally new to fet.
Dr Matthew Lau suggest thaw all 5. He did not give any alternatives. The rate for implantation higher for blastocysts than D3 embryos. As they can judge better survival rate. But many embryos may not make it to blastocyst stage. Usually 6 and more embryos then doc suggest this which I read from internet.
 
@wonderfuljoy , thanks for the sharing. guess i better avoid it for now.

@koirc I remembered your nick few years ago. guess our timing was about the same. Welcome back . Are you starting fresh this round?
Hi Ringbell,

Have you started your cycle? Yes, I am doing fresh cycle... starting in August. So I am trying to watch what I eat now. :)
 
@char-mee yes am KKH under Tan HH. Our game plan is to thaw all (6) oocytes (unfertilized eggs and more fragile than embryoes) and see which ones make it to D3. This is the same plan in Jun - unfortunately none survived. We are taking our chance... oh so nerve-wrecking. Huggz @jas249 @queenie122009 @ringbell thanks for the encouragement. IVF is not for the faint-hearted :p

yes, let's pray hard all goes on well this round... you at KKH too?
 
@mesara, to my knowledge KKH doesnt encourage/practise thawing and re-freezing frosties. Each freeze/thaw is very stressful on the embryo and they would be quite conservative with thawing to make sure that you have at least 1 viable frosties for transfer. For 5, they may try 2 and monitor, then try 2 more...

@Twinkleting does it mean if have 5 frozen they will thaw all or ask u hw many to thaw. Then let's say if 3 survive they will transfer 2 and again freeze that thaw one. Sorry am totally new to fet.
 
@hopeful13 first, dun give up cuz all we need is ONE good embryoe. All the best with your last fighter.

This is your 3rd fresh right? When you say "no more injections in future", are you stopping with this 3rd cycle too?

Haii no choice.. Guess will be just me & hubby. Don't really have high hopes for my 1 & only frozen embryo. At least I know no more injections in future..
 
Thanks ladies for ur encouragement..i am in 13dpt2dt...tested this morning n is a negative though no more spottings or af cramp...guess is the crinone insert that delay my af coz my last FET, af onli came 2 days later after i stopped the insert...feeling v sad though the result is expected coz the embryo quality is not gd!!!

Thanks monkeychick. I am allowing myself to be sad for these couple of days. It's still sad although am prepared to lead a childless life.

Now waiting for my turn for bt and will end this episode.

Hopeful13,
Know how u feel. I dun have high hopes for my 3rd fresh. I jus feel I need to go through whatever chance I have in front of me. At the end of the day, i have done what I could do even it didnt work put. No regrets. I'm approaching 40 and i dun many 10 years left so I try to focus what I have and what blessings I have in life. Grieve on ur sadness even if it mean being an unfriendly person for a while or antisocial towards ppl around you. They may feel we have changed cos they dun know what we're going through. I read from online that ppl like are normal to behave in this way, it's very human, to the extend of being antisocial. But most importantly, we pick up and move on with our lives. Be it Christianity, or Buddhism or other religion, we're here on earth temporary, make full use of it. Nothing we can bring with us when we leave this world. I know it's not easy but if we could get through this big challenge, i think we can be a happier person than we have been before.

Thanks littlejo! Will remember your words. I was supposed to meet my colleague for lunch after bt but am glad the whole waiting at kk was so long and couldn't meet my colleague as suddenly feel like being alone.

We are all strong ladies.. Like u say we will not be able to bring anything with us when we leave this world. Our existence on earth is temporary... Will spend time on other things and people around me.

Thank u and everyone here for your encouragement. It does help to lift my spirit and move on.. :)
 
Lady warriors here,hugs. Though we dun wanna end up here,we are in this thread to give virtual support to 1 another. Grieve where u want,rant as you wish. Wish u all e best in this journey. Its challenging for some of us and i feel u also. We hear good news,but sometimes i wonder if there is miracle as its like not happening to me. Remember u are not alone,come here for support where u need.
Littlejo, thks.i like this phase ->We are in this world temporiliy,so make full use of it.

Have a good weekend ahead
Go for a great dinner!
 
Went for BT today at KKH, Negative Result after 2WW from FET. Waiting for menses to come and decide what to do next.

11/2013 - 1st Fresh cycle abandoned due OHSS, 10 embryos frozen

04/2014 - 1st FET abandoned due non of the 5 embryos survive to D5

10/2014 - 2nd FET successful, but MC in week 6

30/07/2015 - 3rd FET, negative BT

LADIES, Any idea if I shd seek a 2nd opinion from Dr Sadhana or Dr Tan HH.

Left with 1 frozen embryo, might want to do 2nd Fresh cycle , hopefully can yield better embryo quality.

Feeling exhausted but life still goes on to overcome obstacles & hurdles.
 
hugz @Baby1979 , Based on the previous records, i would encourage you to embark on fresh under a new dr. change of doc, change of luck. Time is not on our side, need to be more aggressive. The 1 frostie from your 1st fresh can be combined with other frosties to come in your 2nd fresh... To calibrate myself, I am 37 this year and baby #1 was a godsend from 2011 (third attempt at IVF) and trying my last FET this wkn for baby #2. Ganbate!

jia you!
 
The journey is definately tough... I've been through 3 failed cycles myself... Now in my 4th attempt, but have no confidence at all. But my DH and I did discuss over this issue. So long we tried out best, we will not regret. So for those who can still try, dun give up yet.
 
Any cycle buddies starting fresh in 3rd week Aug? I am super happy that I am able to embark the journey again which will be my last chance. This enables me to be pregnant again, and live births.

Just went for my medicated FET. Call KKH after menses is here, go collect meds. Day4 start medication and ard day 16 start to go kkh to monitor lining until it reaches 8mm. Then they arrange for embryos to be thawed. Transfer after a week.
Anyone mind to share how is the FET procedure? Anyone can advice if I can change Dr for FET at KKH?

@Ginny_minnie : have your doctor decided whether you are going for natural or medicated FET? For natural, call KKIVF on day 1 of menses; you will need to go for scan on day 10 onward to check on the lining, size of the follicles and whether you have ovulated. Typically you need at least 2-3 scans before doctor give the go ahead for ET. Once this is confirmed, they will thaw the embroyo a day before and then you go down on the day of the transfer to find out if the embroyo make it to the thaw and if you may proceed with ET. I asked the nurse at the reception that usually if you do not hear from the nurse that the doctor needs to speak with you before the ET, then it is good news as it means ET will proceed.

For fresh FET, no injection/medication is required.

You may want to check with KKH if you can change doc. sometimes a change of hand is good. In my first success fresh cycle, Dr Tan was my doc for ET but at the end Dr Sadhana came in to do the ET as it was a difficult case.
