Faith I am 11dp2dt Liao and my BT is next mon. Kind of long at 18 days. Previous cycle my BT was just 14 days after ET (3 days embryo). Thinking of bringing forward my BT to this sat instead which is already 16 days post ET. Should be ok right?

Sun is hubby bday, either give him a good bday present or I can eat whatever I want on his bday treat.

You can try bring forward but usually they won't really entertained unless there's spotting or some issue that require early BT
Hope u manage to bring forward!
 
@hopeful13 U can just walk in and take bt saying u r not free on mon. They will still entertainment . All the best to you and waiting for your baby dusts gal. I also pray you can surprise yr hubby with the best present :).

Usually, stimulating jabs are 10-14 days. You started on Thursday right? So you might need to jab till Sat, which means ER is Mon. Just pray you will have v good quality eggs.

Thanks Mesara! I have not much symptoms too. But I just keep myself busy with work and my photobook project at home and planning where to bring hubby for his bday celebration. Time has indeed pass very fast.

Glad that you have moved on and getting ready for FET. Hope your wish to hold your little one come true soon!! Eat whatever you want now, who knows for the next few mths u can't eat those junk food. ;)
 
Do you think I should Dr?
I'm currently with Dr paul tseng. Always been with him, no complains - just that he is very expensive.

@mesara me confused too. Dr THH oredi gave me an open date for my natural fet. So actually I can start coming cycle in end of july. But dunno if my et will hit on the day he is away.
 
Seem like Dr THH is a busy man. Frequently not ard . Hard to plan my fet. :confused:

Any ladies know who is covering him for ET? Should I delay one cycle to wait for his return or proceed without him? Any advise here?

Hi, Dr matthew lau is going on 2 yrs long leave. I heard is from 28 july onwards. Fyi
 
Talking about stress,how do u gals manage stress after 2 failed fresh tries. I can feel that i am very stressed on e ttc thing as there is not much confidence of myself n hubby after 2 failures.

I know stress will make ttc worse n reduce e ivf success rate...n e bio clock ticking doesnt help.

Any gals who tried again for 2nd fresh onwards who cares to share what to do to get e confidence to try again for e 3rd time? I am feeling so stressed...and work is not helping to destress much :/

Hi Connie,

I know what you mean... I went thru 2 iuis and 3 ivfs (2 fresh and 1 frozen) before i finally made it with this current round. The past few times i was really stressed up and at each failure, with the last one a miscarriage, the confidence level went to the bottom...

Then both n my hubby just decided that, "you know what, we have tried our best. We have done what we can. We have spent what we can afford. If this last attempt cant make it, we shall just be partners in crime for the rest of our lives and live fully with our dogs. We went to this attempt with this much-carefree attitude, and well... We made it :)

Despite all the supplement food and what not, after all these attempts..i truly believe is being stress-free that saw this round's success.

I sincerely hope you will too :)

Yah I think I will go for bt on sat. Thurs I am going to see my TCM. Maybe I can ask her if she can feel my pulse and tell me if I am pregnant or not. She ask me if I feel nausea, if nausea then is good sign. But till now not really leh..

Hi fluffychilli,congrats to you!! Must be very happy to see a bfp.

I never had e luxury to see a bfp line on a stick at all after so many yrs of ttc. Frankly,i never even get to e stage of testing on a poas.
I know stress leads to failure in ivf,hence i haven lock myself into a 3rd program to try yet,though my bio clock tells me to try faster cos old liao. I am 39 next year :( I must now reali learn to try to stay zen first. Hubby been so bz at work slept at 1am everyday. Think he is stressed at work also. Urgh..sorry for ranting as there is no other avenue to let out e stress. Cos nobody knows our pain in ttc..

Be kind to myself and not blame myself or hubby for not being able to conceive. And don't give myself stress that "I must conceive by hook or by crook".

Similar to fluffychilli, hubby and I talk about our expectation. Are we ok to settle with just both of us if IVF yields nothing. I think once we have come to the stage of acceptance that we will be childless after trying IVF, things become easier.

Those days where I can't accept that I will not have children, ttc is very stressful and angry.

This is my 3rd fresh and will be the last fresh. If this fresh doesn't work out, I will try one Fet with my one and only frozen embryo and that will be the end of my ttc journey. No more IVF..

Setting expectation and be prepared for a negative result is impt. Ultimately hubby and I decided that there is more to life then having kids.

Be kind to ourselves! We have done so much in this journey! :)

Yes. Totally agree with you. My hubby and I were so devastated after first IVF that we almost didn't try again. And like you, we settled in our hearts that if we would be childless so be it. But one thing I know, I don't want to look back and regret for not even trying all 3 fresh cycles. So when we embarked on our 2nd cycle, we were much more relaxed. I talked more about it. Try not to think if it's going to be successful or not. And bingo, that second cycle I was pregnant. My girl is already 2 yo. Everyday, it still feels like a miracle to us that we have a child.

Hi Connie,

I totally feel you the path on ttc is so tough and difficult and it doesn't help when ppl ard you are getting preg so easily. Even celebrities who are older in age are all popping one after another.
After my 3 failed IUI n 3 failed ivf I think it's tough to pick up and try the 4th time without feeling stressful.

Maybe look at other options? I did have a talk with my husband bout adoptions or maybe donor sperm or eggs. He seems pretty cool with the idea so maybe that might be our option of having a child.

Don give up. At least we have so many supporters here.
 


Anyone knows when the cut-off timing for getting the Gov co-funding? The cut off age is 40.
Is it the start of the simulation stage count or the ET?
