Dear ABCMum,

cutecutetown

i took the first injection on 17/7, first 2 days at 450iu, then followed by 5 days at 225iu, and with 300iu from last sat till now. today is 12 days for injection and will go back to QM tomorrow for another u/s, hope they have grown up more la.

dr said may have the treatment on next monday if they continue to grow. my lining thickness was at 8mm yesterday, and dr said it will continue to grow thicker as the follicles yet to be in the largest size.

hope everything is fine and on track.

thanks for your caring and will update u tomorrow.

Dear snoopy333 & those jm’s who wonder what to eat/do for IVF,

Before IVF, eat healthy, do moderate exercises, and sleep well. Quit smoking, avoid second-hand smoke, and minimize alcohol intake. ...

Thanks for your information. It is very useful for me and all other jm's who are going to do IVF.

If my BMI (weight level) is over the normal level a little bit, is it OK to do IVF or I have to keep fit before the treatment?

Dear snoopy333,

Although no doctors or clinics will refuse IVF treatment to those whose BMI is slightly above normal, they will still recommend the jm's to reduce their weight. In cases where BMI is way over, medication may be prescribed.

Also note that for Asians, the 'normal range' of BMI is slightly lower than that for Caucasians. I think for us it is around 18-23 (not 100% sure).

You don't have to be fit like a Miss HK Pageant (in fact, they are too thin). Be healthy, and you need health in the long run, whether or not you have a child to take care of.

Dear cutecutetown,

It was a very close call! I was supposed to have my surgery last Thursday, but late Tuesday night, I had this very horrible pain and had to be admitted to hospital in the middle of the night. I had my surgery done then, and my doctor took out a fetus 6cm big in my left tube!! My doctor said my situation would had been very dangerous if I waited any longer. So I guess my worda for fellow jms if you're suspecting ectopic would be: seek professional advice as early as possible, and sometimes seek 3rd opinion when it's necessary. And if case is confirmed, take action quick coz ectopic could be life-threatening.

Wish everyone good luck and don't have to go through what I've gone through.

Cheers,
Dingsmama

Dear Cutecutetown,

I have been failed in my 1st ivf in July, I would like to ask if it is necessary to rest for 2-3 months/cycles, or I could start it right in late August? (that mean I just take 1 cycle rest). Is it ok? Kindly advise. Many thanks.

Dear ada1103,

Logically you can start any time. But.... if you feel that you still haven't quite recovered from a cycle of rest, you may rest one more month. Listen to your body and mind, you know it the best in your heart.

Good luck, cutecutetown

Dear cutecutetown,

I am now aged 38.6. After failing for 3 IUIs, I did my 1st IVF in July. With 8 days' injection a total of 1350 iu Gonal-F, 23 eggs were retrieved on 29 July, am (Day 12). On 31 July, am, Dr told us that 19 were fertilized, 17 continued to grow and were frozen on that day. All were Grade 1 or 2. She suggested me to do FET in Sept. BTW, all were fertilized thru' ICSI and sperm morphology was 9%, density was 159x10-6. My questions:

1) What are definitions of Grade 1 & 2 on that day (e.g. no. of cells, fragmentation)?

2) It is said that blastocysts have higher rate for implantation. What do u think for my case? My Dr told me to prepare lots of embryos could not survive till Day 5 after being defrozen.

3) Considering my age and embryo quality, how many embryos should I defrozen and put? I want not more than twins.

4) Dr told me that when period comes in Sept, I don't need to have blood test to identify the LH surge, but just take medication for 14 days and then do the FET. Do u have any idea what the medication is?

5) I have declined appetite, low energy level, occasional abdominal pain and low breathing in these 2 days. Are these OHSS symptoms?

Thanks a lot and sorry for so many questions.

cutecutetown,

i saw another thread that i am of the same age as another JM, i admired her much, and wish her all the best in the implanation.

Hello ychoho,

(1) Grade usually refers to the degree of fragmentation only. Grade 1 is none to little (~10%) fragmentation; grade 2 is ~10-25%. I know some centres also have grade 1-/grade 2+/grade 2-. As long as most of your embryos are of grade 1 or 2, you shouldn't need to worry about their quality too much.
Most embryos on day2 of development (i.e. same as in your case) should be between 2 to 6 cell.

(2) Your doc believes that your body is still the best incubator for embryos, and it should be. Since you have 17 embryos frozen on day 2, it is more sensible to just thaw 2 embryos and transfer the good one(s) on day 3. If this can't get you anywhere with 2-3 times of FET, then you can think about growing them to day 5.

(3) If you don't want more than twins, then the maximum no. of embryos you should transfer is 2.

(4) The medication may be some estradiol, later with some progesterone; taken orally or vaginally. Hopefully none or minimal injection you will need to take. The dosage will also be far less than that when you prepared for the ivf.

(5) Not sure if these are symptoms of OHSS; when in doubt with OHSS possibility, best to call up the clinic and the nurses should be very helpful. One of the more visual signs of OHSS is an increase in your waist line, or your tummy region.

take care, cutecutetown

Dear ABCMum,

I have worried about this scenario and warned about the cancelling of your cycle (you had odd bleeding while you were on hormonal injections). Although the time clock cannot be unwound, I suspect those eggs would not be very good anyway.

I think you may have seen your doctor today. Do not feel defeated yet, I think even given the same cycle without that bleeding would give you a different outcome. I hope your doctor will let you do another cycle (if you will consider it).

All the best, cutecutetown

Dear snoopy333,

None of the 5 nor anything else is proven to improve egg quality.

For your general health, #1,3,4 should be ok if they are natural products. I hesitate to risk with #2 and #5.

Dear 我想生三個,

I am sorry to hear the news. Are you very certain about it, i.e. have you called your clinic and asked if you should continue the supporting medication (Crinone/Endometrin) or not?

In most cases, it is the embryos that are not competent. It is hard to say if this is normal or not, but this occurs quite frequently. Even in women with known fertility, they also produce incompetent embryos in ivf cycles (but perhaps with lower % of failing embryos).

It's a small OK to feel sad for a while, we all do. I also feel down whenever I hear some gorgeous-looking embryos failing to implant. After a bit of mourning, remember to stand strong and stand even stronger. Look ahead and tomorrow can only be brighter.
