IVF will give you a better chance compared to waiting for a natural conception. However, you should continue trying on your own while waiting in line for ivf in 政府醫院.
In theory, if everything happens as wished, then yes, you will need to do ivf around mid 2011 in order to have your baby in 2012. However, couples doing their first time ivf may find lots of unknowns and it is very difficult to set a time line like yours.
Is my pleasure to get your answer. Actually I was planning try to having a baby by natural conception in next year, but somehow there is no one I can ask and no clear direction to lead me to go for it, I am really glad to hear that, thank so much

I had my ET on 2 July. All 3 grade 1 embrys transferred are successful. Now I have 3 bbs inside me. Doctors advised me to consider embryo reduction because of the risk of too early delivery & undeveloped BBs. Now I must make a extremely difficult decision.
By the way, I am 40 and it was my 1st ivf. The doctor said it is very little chance to have all 3 success.
Indeed you are both lucky and unlucky. Having all 3 implanted is very rare; and you may really have to consider embryo reduction as your doctors suggested. There are real health concerns for you and the bb's to be born.
However, fetal reduction cannot be done until you are into your 10-12 weeks of gestation (actually you will soon be 10 weeks). It is not uncommon that women at your age or those with 3 fetuses may naturally miscarry 1 or even 2 of the fetuses before reaching 12 weeks. If not, your doctors must have explained in details the medical side of things about triplet pregnancy and you should seriously consider what they said.

Seems to work, but I know the treatment can be very expensive because you need to continue the treatment even during your pregnancy.
I have seen patients getting pregnant because of the treatment, but the few I came across didn't get any pregnancy/implantation before IVIG; this is a little different from you.
For those other jm's reading this post; IVIG is not the "magical" solution. You can't just have it done because you want it or you can afford it. Only if you have highly elevated ANA (anti nuclear antibody) and/or other immune factors as proven and therefore measurable from your blood, will you then consider such treatment. Again, it works for some but not for all. Your immune system is a relatively rare reason for failing to get pregnant, and most reproductive specialists are aware of this and that's why they will not suggest this to you as a first-line treatment.
Thank you for your reply. My doctor said that I can check BBs neck skin at 11 weeks to choose which embryo to reduce. He said there will be 5% risk to lose all BBs due to the reduction operation. I hope one BB will lose naturally before the deadline.
Beside, I really want to do 絨毛or洋水test to confirm my BBs health because of my age. Do you think it worths to do so?
Note that the procedure (CVS or amnio) has some risks too. In your case, I think it is worth to do. Your doctor will give you further advice when you are into your 12+ weeks.

That's an encouraging news and I am very happy for you!
There is really nothing you should do or you should not do; moderation is the key. I don't know how many times I have said so but it just doesn't register in many jm's mind :)
The medicine and hcg injection given by your doc do help; keep using them as your doctor instructed. He/she will decide when you can stop those medication. When will you do the hcg test again? If you will do so in a few days and the level has at least doubled, your bingo should be quite safe. Your doc will help you to interpret the hcg result.
I am not a big fan of Chinese herbs, but if you want to drink some, make sure you inform your doctor first to avoid any unknown side-effect(s).
Take care, cutecutetown

Miracle happens to me. I bingo finally. It is 4w2 yesterday. Dr count from the the day of egg retrieval (Aug 7). I just think it counts from embryos transfer (Aug 9).
係西醫角度, there is no "best" time gap in between 2 ivf treatments. The general recommendation is that do not wait too long (in terms of years). Some docs may recommend resting 1 month in between, but resting 2-6 months or no rest at all won't make much difference in cycle outcome.

its me again.....
我9月開始要食7日通經, DAY 2返去blood test + ultrasound, 如果ok會再開始ivf treatment
If you take 抽卵 day as day 0, the next day as day 1 and so on,
on day 2, the embryos should be ~4-cell;
on day 3, the embryos should be ~8-cell.
It is not unusual to have embryos at 2,3,5,6-cell on day 2 and at 6,7,9,10-cell or more on day 3.
We also look at the degree of fragmentation (as reflected by the grade of the embryo) before freezing.
Different centres have different policies to do embryo freezing. Very generally speaking, most labs will freeze embryos on their day-2 or day-3 of development because the methodology is very well-established. Embryos with good grade and/or average grade will be frozen because these embryos can survive through the freeze-thaw process. I personally do not recommend freezing of low-grade embryos.
Usually these 水POP pre-exist before even starting ivf. Although I can't be 100% sure, ivf drugs/stimulation won't cause the formation of these 水POP (cysts). However, if they are already present (in smaller size similar to your last ivf), the process of ivf stimulation may make it grow bigger. Most doctors will aspirate any cyst at the same time when they are doing the egg retrieval for you.
Did the doc of 養和 give you any advice? Is he/she an ivf doc, or just a general doc? Since you are still considering ivf, you may seek advice from your ivf doc. I don't know if he/she may suggest aspiration of that cyst to relieve your pain. When was your last period? If it has been a few months since your last M, your doc may prescribe you some medicine to induce your M and see if that cyst may disappear or reduce in size.
I hope you will have some pain relief after seeing your ivf doc (or any ivf doc if yours is busy/away).
