Yes, ICSI's sucessful rate is higher, we also use ICSI, even my husband doesn't have any problem on his sperm, It is already very safe to use ICSI, most of the private hospital is using this method, dr. said to aviod wasting the eggs.
Hi, sj_031005, don't worry. Before I was very scare, I am so scare any side effect occurs, very painful & any dangeous will occurs. But as I start each process, I found it was not as scary as I thought. Fears just come fromthe each unknow. But I can tell you, that's really easy to pass every milestone. Just give your brave & confidence to yourself. Your target is having a lovely baby, then everything we can overcome.
I think 60-80K medication fees are quite a lot for most of the family. But if you consider it is an investment for your family in the coming 20 years. It might be a few bucks a day, it is worth to do this investment, of course, no one can know the result, but your are already higher then me, I am 34 yr old, the chance is getting less & less. Thus, you are so smart to make this decisions.
By the way, you can apply for Public IVF at the same time, just in case if you can't affort private IVF any more, then u still have alternative way to do so. I also applied for public IVF at QMH as well, will see Dr. in July. Hope I don't need to go QMH la.
The technology now already is very advance, I believe the sperm problem is still OK, at least you have very healthy body to let the baby "著床", that increase the success rate as well, right.
Also, Dr.Tay is really unbelievable good, I really like him very much, he is the best Dr. that I have ever seen. He controlled the medication very good, thus, my painful can be minimized. Not matter the result is sucess or fail, I also consider he is the best doctor. therefore, you just rely on him, then you will have less stress.
I really thankful that you can remember my big day for checking whether pregnant or not. When I arrives to Yan On Hospital for blood test at 9:00am, I feel very uncomfortable & nervous during the way to the hospital. After finished the blood test (as we need to wait for more than 2 hours for doctor consultation), so we go to Shatin for breakfast. And then we back to hospital again at 11:15am, my heart is beating very quickly, I'm so scare to face the result as I know I won't be bingo (from my six sense). I really don't want to face it. Although it's only few minutes from Shatin to Yan On, I think I just to go to the hell, my brain is suck with something....no many bad pictures coming from my mind. After waiting for more than 50 minutes, I go to see my doctor & know my first IVF is failed. I just feel I were the patient lying on the bed & doctor said this patient is CERTIFIED. My doctor also feel upset to see my facial expression as I've been tried for 3 times of IUI & now 1 time IVF. Spending my utmost effort to try everything, avoid to eat so much things, keeping to drink Chinese medicine for more than 1 year. Continue to sharing info. & support to BK sisters (as I also get a lot of sharing/support from them). 我希望自己的心態是希望我可以和別人分享和幫助別人, 其實當大家互相鼓勵大家時, 我都會feel 到好開心好感恩的, 而且咁樣會令我積極面對困難, 亦同時鼓勵自己開心d during the road of IUI/IVF.
But today it's really a painful experience for me although I've six sense that I won't be bingo because I've been fever for two days & got stomach ache, coughing after the ET of IVF. So when I tell everybody that my temp. is gradually upside down, my mind is already certified.
Doctor said maybe my age is old so the quality of eggs are not very good and plus I've fever and stomach ache pain afterward so these factors are also affected the result. But I really don't know why all illness come up after IVF (so 巧合). He said I may leave for 1-2 months for rest first and decide if we need to do IVF again afterwards. I just think resting for 2 months still have no result for bingo as I tried for 自然懷孕好耐, 不段在IUI 之前或之後都嘗試過好多好多次, 都是 failed. In fact, I think the final solution is still going to try again IVF.
I just take half day sick leave in this morning and now I'm in the office. From my face, maybe no one can observe how sad I am now. But from my bottom of my heart, my emotion is already down into zero. During the road & failure of 3 IUI, I haven't crying. I tell myself how come you're so touch, you should release your stress & upset & have a cry. I guess tonight I need to do so because 我已經忍耐咗好久, 一直都努力捱過所有唔開心嘅野, 就算工作唔開心, 先生突發性的脾氣, 一直都沒有哭過, 不過今天我的情緒實在太 down , 臉上和心內都是一片死寂 :-(
Thank you for all sisters' sharing and support to me during the road of my IVF. My deepest thanks to you all.
Dear meimei223,
You said you seem have M come? How come so early ? As my M also doesn't come yet (although I've failed). Maybe this is 著床血 & not the M come actually. Take more observation for this 2 days.
Smilewa, As I saw your message I really want to hug you & cry together. I exactly can feel what your feeling, because I have the same feeling as you. It is very painful to me, even though I always tell myself "take it easy" & the probability of IVF only has less than 50%. But as everyone told you that you have very high chance & everything seems so smooth, eventually, not until the big day. My M already come, before I also hope that is "著床", but the volumne is getting more & more, the chance is less & less. I am extramely upsat & disappointed.
As I saw my blood, my mind 1st coming out is hoping you will be Bingo! I think we are a team & hope more & more team members can win this battle.
Smilewa, we already do our best, I know I shouldn't upsat, but my feeling is really uncontrollable.
I will go to find some information to have a trip with my hubby, just forget everything & take some chinese medication before next IVF.
Before the end of chinese new year, I will try one more time, yeah, u are right, we are getting older & older & chance will be less & less, thus, after we cry today,we have to be strong again for tomorrow.
We have no time to spend, let's to be strong together, Smilewa, you are my guider & need your support one another.
I am deeply sorry about it. If you want to cry, cry out loud to release all your stress, pain and disappointment and be good to yourself. Whether there will be anything that will make you happy, like shopping, eating or exercise, go for it.
My doctor told us that we have only less than 20% chance for IVF. Well, we will still go for it. Life is tough, but we can try to make ourselves happy whenever we can.
Take good care and shake up for the next successful IVF.
Cat0303, yr dr. told you only has 20% chance? He said more than 40% chance will have baby. Also, the IVF at HKSH said 50% will have baby. Thus, my expectation is half half.
Everytime as I win a prize, I will have very strong feeling about it, around 80% accurate, but this time, I don't have wining prize's feeling. I already scare my feeling is according again. My husband said my feeling always control my life, but why this time can't
:-( Some colleages also see I am not happy today, because I am a very cheerful woman in the office, but today really can't smile anymore. Why that's so early to let me know the result.
It maybe apply to us only. Doctor in pwh has read thru our reports and due to the fact my FSH is high(11.85) in 2005 and I am in late 30's, the chance is not high. But we think that this is the highest chance for us, we will still go for it.
Take good care and be good to yourself :wink: :wink:
cat0303, even the chance is not very high, but it doesn't mean you can't, many sisters in late 30's also have IVF babies, we all are the same toward our babies, they are waiting for us.
This half year, I already suffer greatly from having baby's problems. Having baby > Ectopic pregnancy > unable to give birth spontaneously > IVF tubal problem > IVF failed > try it again
I start feeling tired, but I will keep going on, until I am not able financially & physically.
Thanks all your support & I think Smilewa & I will recover very soon. LittlelittleAngel, let's having babies in the near future.
I am going to try chinese medications, any good Dr. in HK Island?
I know only one Mrs. Chung, is she good?
You know I really like people to give me a big hug, sometimes I'll ask my sister's son to hug me without any reason. As you know I can't cry in the office as most colleagues will observe my red eyes. So I leave it at home.....have a big cry. As my doctor told me the % is only around 30% for IVF, so my expectation for this is only just like you half an half. I just told myself I do my best, face my illness, face any pain coming after ET of IVF....that's what I can do. And you should remember I've no frozen eggs remaining, so you can think about I also give some invisible pressure to myself (although I try my best not to think all the time) that maybe I can bingo..no twins but at least one child. During these two weeks, I also hope I can see any 著床血, but I can't see any. So I think I almost fail for 50%.
I tell you before that I'm a very frankly speaking & willing to help other (if they treat me like a friend). From here, I feel very support with each other, that's why I spend a lot of time in the office to checking this topic all the time. I want to share & support with you too. And I can tell you I'm older than you tim, so just same as my doctor said, age is also a problem.
My husband is only starting a new job. I'm afraid he can't take any leave for the time being, so I won't have a short trip with him. From this moment, my mind just come out to make my hair (a new look...maybe doing curl hair). In fact, if I can bingo at this time, I'll leave it to change my hair style after 3 months. But now I've no relief, just hope to find a good hair salon to help me to change my hair look.
meimiei223 - you know why I call "smilewa", as I love Keroppi very much, I love his smile & that remind me always carrying a smile. As I'm not a very positive woman in fact. So from the road of IVF, I hope we still keep HAND BY HAND WITH EACH OTHER, HELP & SUPPORT EACH OTHER. I'm sure I'm glad to do this always with you.
Thanks for your care and support to me. I feel very warm to get all your sisters' support and love. I feel lots of love in here (no matter we haven't each other before).
I'll try to relax in these days, hope I'll recover very soon. Thanks for your warmth support to me.
