Sorry gals for MIA so long, cos I just started on my new job and was really busy.

Justforgags, great to hear that you will be embarking on your ivf journey! Hope that it is a success story for you!

Shashan, how do you know whether your egg quality is not good? My dr did not mention. The embrologist said egg shell a bit thick but anyway mine's ICSI so actually I think no issue. I am also feeling really desperate. So many of my friends and colleagues are preggy already. I am the only one who got married the earliest yet still no news. Have avoided all my friends who are preggy and congratulating other ppl while pretending not to feel sad inside.

Life has been getting really empty & meaningless althou I have tried to put my focus on my work or other priorities. Now I am so scared to even think of the future. I dont think I will go for another ivf for now.

Hi,babylemon. Sorry to hear about it. I totally can understand how you feel as I had 2 failed ivf before too.
At first didn't realised I've problem, after Doc retrieved my eggs, get to know that my eggs quality are not good. In 2nd attempt, doc managed to improve my eggs quality through medicine and I got pregnant, but I lost it at 5th week...
Now really feel a bit desperate.... It's really not easy to went through that 2 weeks wait, and if I fail for my 3rd time, there'll be no co funding and medisave that I can claim already...

Hi, the embryologist usually will check the sperm and egg quality, going to start another ivf in oct. Now on Chinese herbal medicine. Hope it can help, but then just know that my Hubby's sperm quality drop again, not sure this round can success or not...

hi kiwi,

my blood test will only b due on mon....but i hv a sinking feeling that it did not work :(

today is already my 10dp4dt (10 days post 4 days transfer) n i dun hv any symptoms yet. however im still trying to keep my hopes up.

yup, scanning hv to b done every few days. its up to ur clinic whether they can squeeze u in for evening timings....different centres work differently....the cost of injection oso depend on individual dosage.

all in all we spent abt 12k for the whole treatment...if really positive n given another 2 wks mc.....my company is ok with it cos my boss already told me if necessary to extend my mc....

i didnt really tiao my body...i went for a few sessions of TCM n thats it...at hme i will drink yomeishu, chicken of essence, manuka honey n herbal soups.....

we r categorised under "unexplained infertility" cos there's no prb with me n hubby n yet cant conceive aft 2 yrs. my tubes wasnt blocked....i ovulate every mth....my menses r regular most of the time....hubby's sperm analysis tests all came bck normal...in fact it was quite gd.....so duno wats wrong....probably got inplantation prb.....

i hv a total of 3 bosses. 1 female, the other 2 r males...yes all 3 knew i went for IVF. i think its better to b honest abt it.

not only is IVF costly, i think its emotionally n mentally v stressful if the end result is a BFN. at the moment i hv not thought abt adoption yet. i'll keep trying....
