Hi Potato
I guess that 2 times blood test is to check m HCG level. 1st Tim came out HCG 3, 2nd times HCG 34. and I also think that my blood test was too soon, usually D14 will be more accurate. Today is my D14 another blood test again, just now the clinic called me to tell me that HCG become 328. Usually the no. will double each day, but my no. is jumped like 10 times. They suspect it's twin or triplet....
When is ur menses for this cycle?

Hi serene78,

Thks for ur encouragement.
Ya a lot of hurdles, n sometimes it's frustrating hearing others just got preg like right after wedding or people who dunno what we are going thru just say things like if u wan baby u must count the days n try on those days, mostly can conceive, or like use ovulation kit sure can strike, blah blah blah... -_-

Sprinkle dust for u!! Hope to hear gd news.

Btw, can recommend me the website? How long does it take to deliver?
Alamak I just bot 3 boxes frm Guardian last night, 5 HPTs costs me $40.

Hi liaocarol11,

Wow! Double congrats! You must be so excited! It does make me feel more hopeful hearing ur gd news!

My menses came on 6th Oct, so shld come on 6th Nov, but usually late, sometimes as late as 1wk. But this time when. Did the IUI, my gynae said I have ovulated, so I didn't expect it to come later than 2wks. Anyway, had bait of brown discharge just now n think most likely my menses will come full-blown tml. Will start my Puregon jabs soon once confirm menses come n try IUI again next mth.

I went on d8 for blood progesterone, as I know to check the progesterone level had produced from our body. Progesterone hormone plays a role in maintaining pregnancy. As I been told by KK nurse, I meet the level so no need to increase pregynl & continue to inject.

How about you?How is your result?

any idea, what is the level? mine tomorrow?

Hi Potato
I think ur brown discharge may be the implantation bleeding which is common in the pregnancy symptom. I also have brown to dark chocolate spotting on D11 till now getting lesser. Maybe it would be the implantation bleeding? These symptom is similar like menus is coming....
And today already 4 nov, so ur chance is pretty high. Coz my oc said if not succeed, m menus will come straight away. ( my next cycle is due on 9 nov, so doc said if I am not preggie, I would have mensus by now).

 

[liaocarol11]

As long as menses are not here, everyday is a new hope... For me, I got the HPT from website that cost very cheap, $0.70 each... so can afford to test from DPO14 onwards. Today is my DPO13, and i tested negative. I did my 1st IUI last month and it is not successful. This month we try natural... and I was hoping for miracle as usual. Anyway, I do not want my menses to get delayed, as I am scheduled to do SO-IUI this dec - afraid that it may clash with Kandang Kerbau Hospital Closure from christmas to new year...
Guess in this road, there is a lot of hurdles for us to clear.. we can only wish for short term growth every now and then...
Happy that Carol n BBdream strike this month - makes me hopeful again about famous-for-low-success-rate IUI.
Cheers Ladies.. It will happen to us someday

Hi Serene
Yah, where did u get the HPT that cheap? Give us the website leh.... I tot PHT cost ard 15-17 per unit...

BB Shop - ovulation and pregnancy tests strips: Pregnancy Strips

Got to know this shop from here as well actually... If you order from US, maybe will be cheaper, but to me, anything less than $1 for 1 is good enough... But for ovulation kit, perhaps need to get the better reputation ones esp when going through IUI, since we need to pinpoint exactly the 1st date of ovulation.

Thanks for ur comforting words n encouragement, pretty sure my menses is here, got red discharge Liao. Maybe mine just slower since my cycle usually is 30-35 days.
Your next cycle due on 9th nov n doc said if u not preggie u wld have ur menses by now? Really? Hmm, it's gd reference for me for next cycles.

Your nothing diff is from day 1 or these few days? Are you in injections?

As for me, there are still slight pain on n off (pain hs reduce from day 1), some bloatness (sometime ok, something funny, i think got to do with the food i intake, hee hee), very thirsty, i easily get hungry, eat double than normail but no weight gain (since i start ivf), these 2 days body feel hot even aircon on in the afternoon, i think is hormone changes or maybe too heaty as i drink red dates n longan drink daily

KKIVF call me at 4plus to tell me blood test ok but worr... as today 1st day we went and ashop for 3 hrs i felt very tired and they are very quite, no pain, no bloatness but still hungry and thirsty

Actually there was 1 day no feeling and my tummy went back to normal, i was so worr... but next day expand again.
