Thanks Miraclez. Im so scared that Im gonna be allergic to Carbimazole too. Im starting to have rashes on my left calf for several days already, not getting better. Also started to have vaginal itch (sorry tmi). Those were my initial symptoms when I first started on PTU (the other medication). Sigh... liddat, cannot ttc unless I remove my thyroid gland or kill the gland. Sad....

Miraclez: Yeah, we are very cham... Any type of problem also have. Want to have baby so difficult. The allergy is due to the thyroid medication (carbimazole & ptu) used to control the thyroid gland. If I go off medication, my thyroid gland will go out of control and hormone level will go out of whack.

Hi Sara, my last Nor-E was on 4th July... Mensus finally arrived today. I think it may vary among individuals, v certain that it will come... I'm seeing prof tomorrow! Think he is good at timing the cycle. Cheers!

Hopeformirale30, we must have seen each other at NUH just now! I was waiting so see Prof for like 2 1/2 hours. Btw, CHR will be closed from 23 Aug-31 Aug, so my cycle can only start in September.
Regarding injection, it's not the worst. The worst is the 2ww, waiting.... dont know if it is a positive or negative. And when negative comes... That's the worst!
Sara, my 3cm cyst had disappeared by itself. I guess the acupuncture that I go to during follicular phase was useful. Even with the cyst, Prof said that it's not an issue as long as it remained small. Dont worry okay!

Hi Cheeka, I was there at 8am, I was the earliest to see him just now, not sure if there was someone before me. But CHR was very packed w couples. My hub and I were surprised to see so many people there. Today was still considered a breeze, I hope it will be like this for subsequent visits
Cheek: Glad to hear your Cyst resolved. What did you do? Acupuncture where and did u take any medication? I also hope can go ahead with ivf. But have not done any pre ivf test as af hasn't reported. So am seeing prof tomorrow don't knw what he will say. Did u do any aft scan?

Hopemiracle30, today I waited so long!!!
Sara, I did acu at ma guang near my place. I didnt take any medication. Just acu and moxibustion. Sometimes it's just hormonal changes that cause the cyst, i.e. it's cyclical. Maybe you want to ask prof to scan you tomorrow to see if the cyst disappear? Cost money to scan though. I did ask him, that's why I know my cyst had disappeared.
Regarding IVF, I suggest you request Prof to book a slot asap becos of the waiting time, plus CHR will be closed for a week in August. And Prof Wong will be away in October. So...better book early for IVF. Ask him whether he can book a slot first so that once your blood test result is out, it will be just nice.
Miraclez, Yes, I will be on NorE since CD18 starting end of August. Possible ER is end of Sept.
I think CHR is closed for cleaning. So they wont accept new cases on certain dates. I wanted to start in July, but clash with the closing date. So have to start Nor-e in Aug instead. I don't think women's clinic will be closed though.

Miraclez, I just had the baseline blood test taken and also the scan of the ovaries. No follicles as of now cos my Aunt Flo still visiting me... I was very tensed during the scan cos flow really heavy (sorry for this). Started on Gonal-F @ 150IU per day for 4 days, seeing prof again on Sat.

Suddenly I feel so 'unprepared' for this. Bought Brazil nuts but hesitant to start cos I am not really a nut person . Still drinking cold drinks when we are advised not to. Haven't started eating eggs, haven't bought red bean seeds etc etc
I only tell myself not to miss injecting the Gonal-F as prescribed.

Today is day 2 of mensus after taking Nor-E. I would think today is the day 1 of my IVF cycle since stimulation commences today. The blood test is for E2 and Progesterone if I don't remember wrongly. Prob measured at the onset of cycle and later part of the cycle to determine the outcome.
CMR or any other sisters, am I right?
Sara, pardon me, I am still learning the rope

Morning Nervous Babe. Before the start of Nor-E, I was ordered D2/3 blood test [Hope I rem correctly, will check through my bills to confirm this) during one of my regular cycles. Think I did that in April/May. We are also required to go through HIV test, both hub and myself. I did this in June together with the psychology counseling. So only 2 prior to start of IVF.

Nervous babe : Yea,I think that was the case. According to the counselling session, they dont care whether or not AF comes.
CD 18 (previous cycle) : start NorE for 10 days (could be more, could be less)
Then, 5 days break of doing nothing (normally AF comes at this time)
Then, start stimulation jabs.
My dearest Maomi , ~HUGZZZZ~ Don't be down okay? Dont admit defeat even before the bt. It's okay to be emotional but more importantly try to stay positive, believe that your babies are trying hard inside. Yesterday, during the counselling, the nurse told me that she had cases where the mothers were too anxious and stressful, then cannot get preggy. But once she resigned from job and take it easy, then she got preggy. She also said that stress is not helping at all. So take it easy okay Maomi! Good luck for your blood test tomorrow! Remember, stay POSITIVE!!! God has His plans.
I find that our difficulties in ttc could be a blessing in disguise. I feel that I am closer emotionally with dh. And when we have our own little precious, Im sure we would be better mothers. Women, mothers, we are both soft and tough... jia you! We can get through this together!

Hi Duffy,
Have they started you on Nor-E? For me, I was given Nor-E and the CHR nurses will tell you when to start and stop. She will also tell you when you need to come back to see Prof for scan and bloodtest and when everything is clear, injection will begin. I just had my scan and blood test yesterday, started jabbing.
I may not be the best person to brief you cos I am also new on this journey, just move on as directed. I believe you are also given a sheet describing the procedure when you went for the first briefing by the CHR nurses... that will guide you along too in general. But hard to determine the specific date and time to see Prof cos Prof will only tell you in your each visit as he will look at your response to the med and then titrate the dose accordingly.

Thank you gals for the comforting words, I'm glad I came in to post my thoughts.
Duffy, as mentioned above u will start your jab 5 days after you've stopped nor e. CHR will tell u when to go bk for scans n blood tests. Usually the first scan is 4-5 days after u start jab. Subsequently will depend on your body reaction to the jab. However, all bt n scans are extremely early in the morning. Prof starts as early as 745. If u want to be the first, be at women's clinic by 730-35. After which, u can go bk to work. Doesn't quite affect work schedule. The only day that u will probably need 1 full day is the day where u collect your trigger jab.

Erm gals, I have no idea on fet. This is my first fresh. I hope I dun have to go through fet

BabyDusty - FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer) will use your frozen embryos. On the day of oocyte retrieval, you will be required to come in early for husband to deposit sperm. then you will be admitted about an hour later I believe. Then if there are embryos formed and youre not going through a fresh cycle they will be frozen and thawed on the day of the ET. You wont have to do all those tests again for ET. Was this helpful
