@Sallykbs yes i have 3 kids, 1st boy from 2nd cycle than twin boys from 1 frozen cycle. When 2nd frozen cycle in June, but miscarriage in July. Will be going for 3rd frozen cycle this month again. Frozen cycle don't require jabs. Only oral medication. You have balance embryos from your previous cycle.

Hi @kodomokirei. For fresh cycle, we need see doctor for scan quite a few times. After that is ER followed by ET.
From my past experience, during stimulation. I took red dates logan tea everyday, 2 eggs, brazil nuts, chicken essence, lotsa nuts. Rmb to take red bean soup alt date to improve the lining. Once lining reach desirable thickness then can stop red bean soup.
Then after ET, rmb to take durians. It says can helps in implantation. Can oso continue all the above except red bean soup. Hope it helps.

Yes... that was what i did as well for my past cycles except i eat 4 eggs everyday 2 months b4 i started my procedure n continue to eat the eggs until 1st trimester was over. Strictly no cold drinks n fruits such as watermelon n pineapples. Must keep the womb warm.

Lets jia you together. U under which doctor?
My previous cycle was under Dr Sadhana but she doesnt do delivery. So after successful implantation, i trf over to Dr HH Tan who did my delivery. Now continue with him. U?
I have 1 frozen embryo from first cycle but im turning 40 in oct so doc advised to go for fresh cycle b4 i turn 40 so thati can still get the govt subsidy.

Hi all. I just went for my 3rd scan. Dr says only 4 slow developing eggs, im one of those with low egg production despite my gonal F dosage is already quite high (375) for the past 7 days he suggest go ahead for ivf as he doubt i will produce more even if i change med. Im abit sad after hearing that

@kodomokirei be positive...don lose heart...everything happens for a reason....don be sad...I am sure everything is going to be fine for you
Hi kodomo,
3 mature, 3 medium sized. Anyw out of the 6 retrieved only 4 r mature enough to be fertilised. N out of the 4, only 1 successfully became an embryo. Even then, it is only a grade 3. Becos i hav a frozen one, dr asked for it to be thawed so trf 2. Whh hospital r u with n whh doc r u seeing?
Dun lose heart. It is not the quantity but quality. U just need 1 super gd quality egg! I hav frens who retrieved 20 eggs but only 3 fertilised. Positive thinking is v impt!

Thank U for your encouragement, Rmummy. Always thot ivf is just simply jab, ER & ET, didnt know have to face the situation of low egg for fertilisation.
Anyway, will heed your advice and stay postive!! All the best to all mummies!!

Hi Sally. I think im facing a difficulty. I went for my 4th scan yest and my folicles are growing really slow. Dr changed all my med and im taking 3 jabs daily. My next scan will be tomorrow and shall see what he says. M afraid he may cancel my ER as i m nt responding well to gonal F (with a high dosage of 375 to 450) and according to him, it is rather uncommon :'(
U done ur ET? All the best to you!! Hope you can suceed!!

Hi @Sallykbs . Initially my doc wanted to transfer two day 2 embryos, grade 3 on sat. But they did not survive after thaw. So now only left last chance to transfer my last blastocyst on coming tue. I'm praying hard that it can survive the thaw.
When is ur et? Did u transfer to embryo? What grade?

Hi Kodo, hope follicles will grow after the changed of medicine. Keep us update after ur scan. Good luck.

U with which doc?
Hi Kodomo,
Dun mind me asking how old r u? R ur follicles responding slowly becos of age? There could be a deeper reason. I had my ET on Monday, 1 fresh grade 3 2-day n 1 frozen grade 2 from 1st cycle. Am 6dp3dt as of today. Go a do a home test on Wednesday cos can't stand the wait!
Initially, dr Loh din change ur Med cos he doubt it will make a diff rt? Now he decided to change? I have had a few frens under dr Loh but all their cycle failed. What is the success rate under him? U might want to seek another dr if this cycle doesn't turn out well. All the best. Dun give up!
I'm with dr Tan HH same as u. This will be my last attempt. 40yrs old liao n no more frozen... pray ur blasto will survive the thaw! Keep us posted ah! All the best!

thank you Kimchi-ger. I was following the status based on below link. http://www.bubblesandbumps.com/what-happens-after-embryo-transfer-day-3-day-5-transfer-calendar/
this is my first fresh, and I am not sure if I got embryo left to freeze until the blood test day. I have two more grade3 embryo on the day I transferred, the embryologist told me they are under observation to see if can freeze or not.
Eh... ur et is same day as mine. Also dr Tan. I also tested early this morning n bfn. Lol. I think it is too early. I will test again on Thursday.

Actually based on my experience pregnancy and ovulation kit not very sensitive one. So u shld try testing again as maybe the lv not high enough. Previously my fresh cycle i tested negative but end up bpf. Maybe i tested too early. Cant rmb which day i tested as i was 2 yrs ago. Like my for frozen cycle this time, no matter how i test the ovulation kit still reflect -ve. But blood test says its +ve. So dun trust 100% until the blood test day
How's ur et? Everything went on well?

Hi Sallykbs,
My appt is 11am. Nervous now as dunno my only blastocyst can survive the thaw mah.
How's ur et? Everything went on well?
11am means 11.30 then do trf. Pray they ask u to go n change and 11.15am.
