I think this time is more probable that ovulation did not and will not occur. It is not unusual in the first M cycle immediately after the ivf cycle. However, even with no ovulation event, the bleeding event of a menstrual cycle will still occur, although we simply don't know when.
Right, call KWH as soon as you are back to day 1 again. With your cycle length a little long and unpredictable, the doc may use some medication to better synchronize the cycle so that your embryos will be transferred at the right timing. The medication will not be as extensive as those used for ivf.
As I suggested to other jm, stay well because the weather makes people get sick easily. A healthy body not only gives you confidence but also provides a good environment for where life begins.
Cheers, cutecutetown

cutecutetown,
Thanks for your perfect biology answer, and I love your words "each cycle is independent of each other". I hope I can have a better cycle for FE implant next time.
For your more informa ...
I have been struggling in this inferility road for more than 6 years and have done 6 full IVF cycles experienced many kinds of unwanted, unwelcome things. I am numb to the bad news already. But it is still very touching to read to your words.
Hope all the best for you.
(好人有好報!)

Dear shanhu,
Yes, I remember you, but it's the way BK set up these blogs makes it very difficult to find back your previous posting. Or is it because I am not good at surfing this website?
Dear Pooh2008,
I hope your OHSS symptoms have regressed much by now. The edematous condition (腹腔內的水) should slowly be "reabsorbed" by your body and this process really takes time. If you continue to feel sick, call your nurse/clinic so that the doc can check on you. It seems to me that your OHSS was mild to moderate; otherwise, in severe condition, you would be hospitalized already.
In any case, be mindful of your body. Watch your conditions (e.g. 肚脹 & nausea) and don't be afraid to ask your doc. Do you know about how many embryos that have been frozen? Generally, they should be safe in storage and you don't need to worry about them. So, be well and let us know when you have fully recovered.
I have done a FSH/LH test D3 this cycle for preparation of my IVF later this year. The result is FSH : 6.49 / LH : 1.74 that is a bit better than 5 years ago (FSH :7.58 / LH : 2.46).
Since I am 40 now, does this figure no meaning to me even a bit better as of high age. Is it positive to me ? My response to ivf stimulation is poor in 5 years ago.
Good to hear from you. Given you are 40 already, your FSH/LH this time is certainly something to be positive about. If you will be starting an ivf cycle with a private doc, still don't expect to have 20 follicles. A reasonable response should get you about a similar number of eggs as last time (5 yrs ago?). I really hope you can get a few good-quality eggs to begin with.

I only had 7 follicles with 4 eggs in my last ivf 5 years ago although my D3 FSH is not high at 7.7. That why I am worry about the FSH cannot reflect the real situation of my ovary.
Dear cutecutetown,
Thanks a lot for your professional opinion first.
This is my 1st IVF, and there are 5 embryos in 16/20 grade. My case seems occure in my side, coz I'm a SLE patient & with womb infection sometimes.That's why tubes are cutted 3 yrs ago.Here is my questions:
(1)I just did a ET at 30Apr, but so strange that i lost all the symptoms at the same day afternoon quickly,like breast & abdomen swallen pain, do you know why? and is it seems lack of 黃體胴? I informed the nurse regarding the above symptoms, she said that is good to me, due to we did a lot of injection at the begining. Do you think i need to request for the 事後針at this moment, is worth to do that?
(2) How is the chance if the womb with 2 1x1.5cm 息肉
1. I think your symptom relief was more of a psychological than hormonal cause. For many IVF clients, having the ET procedure means a lot. If you think back the whole process from starting to see the doc to daily injections and frequent ultrasound+blood tests, you have come a long way. Even after the egg retrieval many still worry about not having enough of good embryos. The ET procedure marks the "end" of something (mainly, the frequent clinic visits) and probably the "beginning" of a wait of ~14 days for the "report card".
To give you more of a solid ground, your doc should have prescribed you some luteal support medication either in the form of vaginal inserts or injections. You do not need to worry about the lack of 黃體胴 because these medication takes care of this issue.
2. I can't really give you any "guess" of chance because I do not know anything about your 息肉, be it a polyp or a fibroid. It also depends on where it is in the womb. There are also other factors affecting success chance. Given the fact that you've just had your ivf with good embryos, I am quite optimistic for you.

If you suspect it's an yeast infection, you'll need medication first. Check with your ivf clinic and seek advice from the nurse or doc. I don't know if it will affect your bingo chance or not; but most importantly, if it is really an infection, you need to be treated before considering anything else.
Dear Apple8,
When an embryo can grow to a day5 blastocyst, it has a good chance of continuing to grow and implant. Depending on the woman's age and her infertility cause(s), success rate still varies, but should be higher than random selection from a bunch of day2 or day 3 embryos.
It is difficult to predict if an embryo can develop to a blastocyst even when it "looks" perfect on day 2. On a conservative management, only when you have plenty of good-quality embryos your doc may recommend to grow them to day 5 so that a better selection can be made to increase the success chance. Sometimes, if the woman has a few ivf's already without bingo, it may be worthwhile to grow the embryos to day-5 and see whether the embryos are competent or some other factors causing the failure. Bear in mind that by growing all embryos to day 5, there is always a chance of having no blastocyst for transfer.
However, some (overseas) centers exclusively grow every embryo to day 5, doesn't matter if you have 1 egg or 20 eggs to begin with. The belief is that if an embryo can't grow to a blastocyst, it is not compatible with life and therefore, it won't give a baby even if it was transferred on day 2 or 3. This is probably harder to accept for conservative minds, but it has its logic.
In HK, we tend to be on the conservative side, so I bet if you have only a few embryos (say less than 5), your doc won't even suggest the possibility of day5 transfer. If you have >5 embryos of good quality [grade 2+ or better], then it is reasonable to discuss with your doc of ET on day 5.

What's the chance of day5胚囊? If the embryos are Grade2+ at day2, is it reasonable to wait and put day5胚囊 bk to the body at Day 5?
Hi cutecutetown,
did you remember me?
I just want report to that my 1st ivf failed. But no worry about me, coz I m a strong fighter...ha ha!
But can I get some more opinions from you?
1. Have you ever heard that the patient have womb contraction during the days 2 & 3 after ET?
2. Why the period comes at the sixth day after ET, seems too earily?
3. My own dr said that one of the 息肉location will affect the embryo implant,will you agree me to remove them before the Fet next time ?
4. Hosipital informed me that I still have 5 embryo frozen 1 in 8cells,2in7cells,1in6cells&1in5cells. Do you think public hospital will allow the embryo grow into the5th days then implant when doing the FET?
Sorry for some of questions are out of your profession scope, but hope to look for one mote opinion.
Thanks !

Yike, I still feel very sad. I remember you have SLE and this probably adds further roughness to your road.
1. I know about uterine contractions in general, but not sure if they happen specifically on days 2 & 3.
2. Seems a little early; some people claim that period will return sooner when vaginal luteal support (progesterone) is used. However, when the embryo is not competent and fails to develop further in the womb, period will return regardless of the types of luteal medication.
3. Yes, it makes sense to remove the 息肉, especially if your doc also agrees and recommends you to do so.
4. If you want your embryo(s) to grow to day-5 before FET, you may ask your doc to see if he/she can arrange so with the lab.
I think most hospital docs are on the conservative side and won't encourage you to do so. Also your 5 embryos were not all at 8-cell and they won't be thawed altogether for one FET cycle. I guess only 2 or 3 will be thawed, and if they survive OK, they will be transferred into your womb. In other words, your 5 embryos may be good for 2 or even 3 FET cycles.
Stay well and think about the uterine 息肉 first. One step at a time :) and you probably need some recovery time if you will do the minor surgery.
Best wishes, cutecutetown
