Mei2 - Is hcg the one where they inject ink into ur uterus then xray to check for blockage? If yes, then I did it cos we were having problems conceiving even after trying clomid cycles so doc did the test for me to rule out blocked tubes.. Not sure if its a mandatory test before ivf though.. But I think there's not harm doing it, if u do have mild blockages, the test will help u unblock too (from what I gathered during research)
Tulipcinta - Thanks, then I stock up h2o to drink.. I really cannot stand drinking too much plain water.. but will tahan and try to drink as much as possible!
Positive - I'm coming 30 this year.. Dr also mentioned since I got PCOS, got high risk of OHSS so she started my dosage low first... Is it vv low? Like tt will it not stimulate enough anot ah?

Bluenosebear,
I've received the call.. ER confirmed on thursday.. Have to go tmr to get all the instructions for preparation from christine.. There was no mention of a scan though, looks like no more scan for me.. Wow so nice, you have so many follicles and all growing at so even pace, that's gd!
Actually in the beginning i had wondered why prof did not up my dosage to try stimulate more follicles, since my dosage is not very high.. I've seen other ladies with similar or lower AMH having 20-30 follicles.. But i decided i should just trust his judgement

Min- like Prosepina say many do not mean good. I worry the quality will be compromise or not
Yr no already gd w tis dose
Normally Prof will order low dose for 1st ivf
I start w 150 also in 1st cycle but up the dosage after few days.
So we really might c each other in OT. Haha
Jelly- no idea why Overidel leh. I remember will try ask chr missy

min81: I agree w prosepina. 10 is just nice. dun want too many in case of OHSS which can hamper ER & ET procedure.
also, quality is impt not quantity. we just need 1 good one to strike. all the best to u. JY...

I was thinking over the quality and quantity question lor. Tmr im gog to ask gynae, how much he wanna increase my dosage of gonal f and how many follicles he looking for me to harvest? My last round although of a low dosage, i got 8 follicles, but in the end nothing to freeze wor, cos quality not gd. So now i hoping to harvest more follicles but at the same time i scare quality not gd. Ai ya, nothing much to do start to think and worry too much le 
Overidel looks and sounds familiar. Tonight i go hm dig out all my info on previous cycle and see.

dreambear: since u going for review w gynae, better ask him all the questions. what he can do differently in the nx cycle to yield better results than ur prev cycle.
also ask whether any factors will b compensated w the change in dosage eg. more folli but avg quality or lesser folli but better quality?
my understanding is that 1st cycle is always trial n error, 2nd cycle is more or less a workable cycle but the 3rd cycle is likely to hit off if all goes well.

dreambear, u sound so systematic...i am going to see doc this sat and going to come up with my list too...
yah..one of the qn i had was whether the quality of my eggs have been compromised...cos i extracted a lot and although quite a number of eggs are extracted and i transfer 2 grade 1, i still fail...so i am wondering if the quality has been compromised and hence cant develop...if that's the case, whether ti makes sense to contineu using the frozen ones...
can u share with us wat ur dr said after u meet up with him???

Well sisters, I tik my gynae will most likely tell me, it all depend on LUCK! He once said he seen the worse quality of embryo but the patient still pregnant. If he really say that again, i will stare at him and give him my killer look!!! LOL. Ai yo, my knees go weak with the thought of going to hv injections every night again. Last night i still remind my DH that he need to administer my injections for me again.....

i dun think quality will be too much compromised if extracted alot of eggs. cos some sis also extracted alot of eggs and manage to bfp. and also doesnt mean if only 1 egg is extracted, the quality will be good lor.. i think it depends alot on the hormones existing inside our body wic will affect the quality of the eggs, also health condition of our body?
dream> must have faith in yr frozen. dun waste them.
brchow> we do not need to do ecg on the day of ER right?

lin: no nd to do on ER day itself. Do once cfm embarking on IVF. If not suitable, dun even nd to start the jabs. No point to jab jab jab then cannot retrieve eggs mah...
dreambear: must tell ur gynae that we pay a lot of $$$ for him to give us hope even though we know luck & everything else play a part in it. so he nd to be more optimistic then we r leh....

Prosepina, bluenosebear, brchow,
Thanks ladies.. Yup won't think too much about not having enough follicles.. Hubby said don't be greedy.. Haha.. Just have to follow doc's instructions, go with the flow and hope for the best
Bluenosebear,
Maybe we'll be one after another in the OT on thur
Wonder if using suprefact like u.. Will find out tmr.. A bit scared of jabbing ovidrel myself.. I remember it was quite stinging when the nurse did that for my IUIs..

Positive, i will...i am also curious and wondering what can dr do to improve the chances of FET...unlike fresh, no injection to stimulate the follicles..what can he do to boost the embryo growth or to aid the implantation?
by the way, wat's everyone's take on medicated vs natural FET? when wld doc recommend medicated or natural FET? i rem reading somewhere that if ovulation is late, the lining will be too old to be used...is that really the case?? dh's troops are no longer required for FET, right? since the embryos are already fertilised...
