Thanks sis kayin!
Had my egg retrieval kanina.
I feel a a bit bloated. Did you feel that way after retrieval?

helo sis, still bloated?

diba prior to that binawalan tayo ng liquid and food intake, may required hours yun para sa anesthesia... after nung egg retrieval ko, nung ginising ako nauuhaw ako... tapos bawal tumayo and dapat soft diet pa after ng procedure pero pag-uwi ko nakapagluto pa ako ng kanin sa rice cooker kumain talaga ako - nagalit nga si hubby pagkabili niya ng gamot. pero never kong na feel na bloated ako or never din ako nagsuka after that... kakaiba nga ako eh... pero sa ET, i strictly followed lahat ng instructions ni doc. bad thing is, during ET day nag LBM ako. yung uterus ko ang bilis ng contractions...  ;D

pero mabait si Lord... di naging problem yun... kumapit pa rin sina babies...

so na meet mo na si Ms. Kim and lahat ng naggagandahan nurses ng CARMI...  ;D

bukas na ang final wave... bawal ma stress ha... God bless...

^^sis jennylee, pwede naman yan pagawa sa ibang lab clinic... alam ko kasi yung lang Anti-Mullerian Hormone test ang available sa St. Lukes Global.  ;D

Pero bakit ang daming lab tests na required sa iyo?

Preparations for IVF siguru just stay fit... before and during the procedure, im into dancing 30 minutes early morning. i dont know if may effect iyon, despite kasi ng PCOS condition ko i responded well sa mga medications and Doc lowered my dosage and tipid na rin yun. Tumigil lang ako yung day ng egg retrieval ko and so on.

During medications/injections wag ka lang pa stress... and exercise is a good way to lessen stress...

Keep positive attitude... stay happy...

sis crizzy - thanks... sorry to hear that... wala bang ni recommend na urologist si Doc. Novero sa inyo?
si hubby kasi two years ago pa nagconsult ng urologist dito pa sa Pampanga, pero low sperm count lang ang issue niya...

Hi sis kayin thanks for replying, meron si doc na nirecommend.  Baka magpathird opinion na lang kami muna sa labas ng Carmi. 

Hi sis jennylee, medyo mas madami nga ang lab tests na binigay sa inyo.   Sa St lukes namin lahat pinagawa ang mga binigay ni doc  para di stress .  Ang AMH sa St lukes lang meron, naalala ko 5000.  Ang sabi sa infertility forum last March ni docnovero,  ito daw ang test to determine the capability of woman to produce eggs kasi nag decline daw ang production natin pag nag age.   Sabay pala tayo sana kaso mukhang mag stop muna kami.  We will decide until next week. Malaki pa naman ang mga nagastos namin sa laboratory .  hay.  Goodluck to you sis.

Hi sis jennylee! Am feeling much better now. Although medyo bloated pa rin ng kaunti. May water retention due to hormones raw sabi ni doc.
Parang marming pinagawang test sa iyo. Ako kasi, amh lang and hiv/hepa c tests. Di na ako nagurinalysis, complete blood works, etc. 
Baka depende siguro sa mga conditions natin kaya nagkakaiba.
Ang masasabi ko lang mabait at magaling  si doc :)

thanks sis crizzy!

sis kayin, ang swerte mo naman at di ka naging bloated. ang bigat! di ako makahiga tapos nag-ccramps pa ako. sabi naman ni doc, normal daw yun because of the hormones.
but i had a difficult time recovering from the anesthesia. i didnt vomit naman. pero nag-faint ako when i went to the bathroom. hapon na ako nakaalis sa recovery room, to think i was the first one in the o.r.

but all's well that ends well. am feeling much better now. am now able to walk and resume normal activities.

i hope that the embryo transfer will be successful and that mag-implant sila :)
sis kayin, in your case, how many eggs were fertilized and how many were transferred?

ang saya talaga nang may nakakausap about the journey.

positive thoughts. please pray for us.

 hi sis jennylee, these are the tests:

 me:  FSH, AMH, Prolactin, anti HCV, HBsAg, HIV 1, HIV2
 
 hubby: FSH, LH, Total Testosterone, HIV1, HIV2, HBsAg, antiHCV, semen analysis

sis sorry di ko na makita ang mga official receipt mukhang naibigay namin pag nagclaim ng mga result.  Ang pwede mo gawin sis mag pa assess sa second floor kaagad.  Ang naalala ko lang is umabot ng php 30,000+ ang lahat ng ito kasi  kinailangan ko pa bumalik kinabukasan dahil nag exceed sa limit ng php 20,000 ang atm card namin that day.

bilateral PCOs ako and si hubby ay azoospermia.  I have high prolactin before kaya pinacheck ni doc.  Depende siguro sa history natin ang pinagagawa nya.  Sana nga matuloy kami, last February kami nagstart din.

sis crizzzy thanks for sharing.. siguro nga depende sa condition .. kasi un case ko naman , blocked both tubes so [textspeak!] kaya iba tyo ng kelangan lab tests ... ang mahal din pala ng mga tests na to noh? i was thinking if we would have these tests sa labas( not sa CARMI) mas makakmura.. [textspeak!] balitaan mo ako kung matutuloy ka sa June... ha?

Just finished with my embryo transfer.
Keeping our fingers crossed :)
Sis kayin,  pareho pala tayo. 3 lang din na-fertilize sa amin.
Sana positive rin like you :)
Now the two week wait begins.
Sis kayin, sino nag-iinject sa yo ng proluton nung umuwi ka na sa province?
Were you still required to take duphaston?
Paano mo natagalan na nasa bed ka lang? Unang araw pa lang di na ko mapakali.
Sumasakit kasi ulo ko pag nakahiga kaya nakaupo ako. Ok lang naman siguro yun?
Pasensya na sa pangungulit :)

hello sis supercassie... ako din umuupo din... i put pillows sa back ko on reclining position. pag naglaptop naman ako naka side ako... naglalaro ako ng mga games sa net yung madadali lang and i watch movies din...

actually walang duphaston na binigay sa akin. yung inuwi ko crinone gel for 2 weeks everyday, elevit, aspirin and progynova. meron din proluton, nilagyan namin ni hubby ng mark yung first injection, then dun na lang lagi namin iniinject kasi ayaw ko talagang matagtag and maggagalaw... we used din cold compressed before we inject yung gamot para medyo bawal sakit although tolerable naman. saka ayaw ko ng pa inject sa iba, masyado ng na expose ang lower body part ko... hehe...  ;D

after one week tumatayo na ako. pero slight lang. pupunta ng kitchen to get some water then balik ulit ng bed... think of activities na you can do while nakahiga or nakaupo this will keep you busy.

basta post ka lang if you have queries... super sticky baby dust to you...

alam ko positive yan... God is great! ;D

IVF in Taiwan
« Reply #116 on: April 23, 2012, 12:38:16 am »
HI! There,

Sorry to disturb if I may get help...

I would like to check which are the reputable and good success rate IVF Centres in Taiwan ? Where can I get a full list of IVF Centres in Taiwan.

I remember coming across a website ( that I tried to google many days but could not find anymore) where they provide eggs freezing by retrieving the nucleus of a cell (suitable for women in 40's) to a younger egg for fertilisation ...and hence upkeep the DNA of those women > 40's - I cannot remember the company name but do think it is in TaiChun .... Would appreciate guidance and help

Thanks.

Thanks sis jennylee!
People in the house,especially dear husband, have been very supportive.
Minsan nakakahiya na nga kasi kaya mo nman gawin pero kailangan gawin pa ng iba.
Dinadlhan ako ng food sa room, inuuwian :)
To pass the time, ive been watching dvds, reading, surfing.
Am on leave from work.

Sis kayin, what food did you eat and not eat?
Sabi ni doc, avoid acidic food. When you check the internet, halos lahat na lang ata acidic!

I hope everything goes well.
thanks for all your support!

^citrus fruits saka lahat ng maasim na pagkain... during my 2weeks wait, puro fried fish (in canola oil) saka brown rice lang food ko.... salt lang ang seasoning sa pagkain ko. tapos i eat pears and singkamas once in awhile... sobrang arte ko nga pati water gusto ko yung distilled ayaw ko yung purified lang dahil nga sobrang ingat ako.

dont worry during my time, sa room lang din ako kumakain nakarecline lang palagi pag umupo. first step pa lang yan, pag buntis ka na mas pampered ka na sa mga people around you...

think of happy thoughts, stay positive sis... excited na kami sa result mo... were on tract sa progress mo...

God bless...
