I had a sudden bout of cramps last night which lasted around 5 mins? It wasn't very intense, just a very light cramping feel.. Soon after, I felt like there was something leaking from down below.. I panicked... Because in the previous cycle, @ 9dp2dt, I started to spot.. But when I went to the toilet to check, there was nothing.

I still have that feeling on and off throughout the day.. I noticed that it's a watery clear discharge.. Not in huge amounts though.. Wonder what it is..

Hmmz...

8 days to BT.. Jiayou!!

Did my first progesterone jab @ the GP near my home today. It was done on my right thigh and it has been aching since then.. The ache is like you haven't exercised for a very, very long time and then u suddenly decided to jog for 5km.. The ache you get the next day is the kind I'm having right now..

Think I gotta ask the doc to jab on alternate thighs else I might not be able to walk after a few jabs and I have 9 more to go!

Today I'm feeling perfectly normal..

I hope my babies are embedded real deep and tight now..

Everything has been normal the past few days after ET.. Normal as in nothing special to note except for some twinges at my sides which I believe to be my ovaries healing from the ER procedure..

But today.. Past noon, I started to bloat again.. Feeling like I have a balloon for my tummy.. Getting a little nauseous too..

Good signs? Bad signs? I'm not so sure and I dont wanna guess too.. Just wana cross my fingers, toes and eyes and hope for the best..

Jiayou X5 and Money!!

Got some disappointing news.. 
The quality of the eggs were the same as previous cycle.. Pretty bad.. Out of 20 eggs, only 6 could be used. 4 fertilized successfully but out of which, 2 were very fragmented and unusable.. The remaining 2, one was a good looking embryo and the other quite fragmented one. the embryologist told us not to pin high hopes on the latter one but then first one looks good.

Well, they say all we need is one..
Im still rooting for both of my embies..

This month being our wedding anniversary, I'm sure they will strive really hard for us!

Had my egg pickup aka ER at KKIVF early this morning.. It was a totally different experience from the previous cycle because I was half awake this time round. In my previous cycle, I knocked out a few seconds after the anesthetist injected the med. This time round, I was groggy but wasn't knocked out.. Could feel things going on below and inside me.. There was no pain though.. Just weird sensations. I eventually did knock out towards the end of the procedure but was quickly woken up by the nurses to check if I was alright and responding.. By then, I was almost awake.. Managed to doze for around 45 mins and was up having Milo and biscuits..

The pain this time round is more intense than the last time and im feeling super bloated..

On the bright side, I managed to extract 29 eggs.. 2 less than the last cycle but its not the quantity that matters, its the quality isn't it? I hope I get a good embryo report on Monday during the transfer.. Crossing everything I can cross on my body..

Heading for trigger jab soon!

Egg pickup will be on Saturday @ 0730 in the morning..

Scan was good today and doc says I will likely have around 21 eggs to pickup.. Out of which 12 of them should be matured.. Yay!

i just hope they will be good quality and not like the last cycle..

Tomorrow is injection free day! But.. I've still gotta get to work to clear up my stuff before the long hospitalization leave.

Everything seems to be happening much faster this cycle.. I hope it's a good sign..

Meanwhile, just wana rant that I'm feeling bloated! Haha.. Someone gave up her seat on the MRT yesterday to me thinking I was preggy! *gasp* In my mind I was thinking how I wish the reason she gave up her seat for me was really reality.. Soon, I hope..

Alrighty.. Off to trigger.. =) Will update again soon...

My follies' growth as below (in mm):

Left: 16, 12.5, 11.5, 15, 13, 14, 9, 10.5, 9.5, 9
Right: 15, 12.5, 13, 12, 15, 10.5, 9, 9, 8.5

Lining: 7.5mm

Am happy with the growth because in my previous cycle, i think my follicles were max 10mm only at this time.. Doc says the growth is good..

~17mm is the right size for maturation which means there are about 6 good candidates already..

Gotta come back for scan tomorrow morning and see how the eggs have grown.. Doc says ER is likely this Saturday..

Things look so far so good.. =)
Hope this keeps up!

0730 Hrs

Already at KKIVF waiting for my scan.. I thought I was early but there are many even earlier than me! Think most us want to finish off early and get to work as soon as we can ba..

Good luck to me on my scans!
Update later!

Dr Zou and nurses at KKIVF told me that the hormone injections are very heaty and i should drink lots of water.. I had a little cough in cycle 1 so didn't think much of it then.. But this cycle, it has hit me right smack in the face.. Have been lying in bed for 3 days straight with fever, flu, sore throat and cough.. Even downing water and eating fruits isn't helping me.. Am feeling so lethargic and restless..

If this this what i need to go thru for my little bundle of joy, im more than willing to do it.. Hopefully the scan next Wednesday brings good growth!

Jiayou!!

It has officially started!

Did my Day 2 scan today - lining 3mm, small follies.

Took my first injections this morning - Gonal F and Saizen.. Never had these before in my previous cycle.. Hopefully works well for me..

Having this really bad headache.. Not sure if its from the injections.. Spent half a day sleeping but still not going away.. =( Hope it goes away soon..

Fighting!

Still faithfully taking my pills to induce my menses.. Managed to get a few days off next week hoping my scans will not be too disruptive to work..

Hubby says I should not surf or look at the forums for this cycle.. Hmm.. Surfing is fine with me.. But I really get alot of support from the forum.. Gotta think this through..

Ooooh, my previous cycle's buddy, Chris just did her blood test a few days ago and ta-dah, it's a +++++++!!

CONGRATS CHRIS!  And thanks for all the knowledge sharing and tips you've given... Have a great 9 months ahead!! =)
