Pregnancy Blood Test

Okie! After one round of failed IVF, we are back to square one, egg retrieve cycle gonna begin again... dare not have too high hope this time round. I'm a bit skeptical this time, with tons of questions for Dr Yu. She said that I'm reading too much.. well, what do you expect for someone who has a round of failed ivf right?

Anyway, just had my day 1 menses today. Had called CARE earlier and was told to go down this friday for blood test as well as to buy the medication. We would also need to go down on Monday to do ultrasound scan. Let's see how things go this friday!

Frozen Embryo Transfer

Just finish transfering the embryo today!! Keeping my fingers crossed and pray hard for blood test with good result on 20th Jan!

Meanwhile, lots of rest and to continue my estradiol valerate and progesterone jab instead of cyclogest.

Hello embryos!!

Baby dust!! ~*~*~*~

Actual Replacement Cycle

Finally starting the actual replacement cycle!!! Keeping my fingers crossed hoping to stay in good condition for embryo transfer!!!

Trial Regulated Cycle (FET)

Today is Day 2 for my trial regulated cycle. I was asked to start inserting cyclogest till 16th January. It got kind of messy so do prepare at least a panty liner.

The purpose of trial regulated cycle is to ensure condition for embryo transfer. If the womb condition is not suitable, the chances of implantation would be low.

1 year after HRT

I've been on HRT for about a year and finally my endometriosis cleared!

We went back to CARE to discuss with them about moving forward with our FET. Dr Yu put us on the Trial Regulated Cycle FET to make sure that my womb will be ready for the transfer before doing the Actual Replacement Cycle. Was given Estradiol Valerate to take on a daily basis and insert Cyclogest to start on day 15 till day 22.

Embryo Transfer Day

We were schedule for the transfer in the morning but the transfer had to be cancelled as my womb lining was too thick after the scan. We will have to move on to freezing our 2 embryos and move on to the frozen embryo transfer program.

Dr Yu arranged for us to go back to see our specialist, Prof Tay for my endometriosis. I am back to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and can only start our frozen embryo transfer after clearing my endometriosis.

Embryo Status Report

After the surgery yesterday, i feel like i almost wanted to die. All the side effects from the anesthetic and the pain. My ovary on the right was too far to reach so they open a mini hole on my tummy for them reach it. I suspect i am suffering from Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS). All the vomitting and feeling so bloated that i don't even have the appetite to eat.. just want to lay on the bed and not move.

Anyway, we received a call today from CARE to inform us they have retrieved 6 oocytes but only 4 were matured and 2 were fertilized. So we have 2 fertilized embryos as of today! YEAH!!!!

We were also told to go down to CARE for embryo transfer tomorrow morning!! So excited!! Can't wait till tomorrow!!
