12 days past transfer

Semalam saya buat UPT di rumah. Hari yg ke 11 lepas transfer. Got 2 lines dan tiba2 saya gabra dan gosok mata. Macam tak percaya dan rasa nak nangis pun ada. Terus call klinik and nurse suruh datang buat blood test hari ni.


So now, I just got my blood test result and alhamdulillah got a good news today and have jumped over here :D (tapi tak boleh, lompat dalam hati je)

At 12dp5dt my beta hcg number is 860. My doctor said that I have a really high solid number so I wouldn't need to do 2nd beta. Whatever la doctor saya tak tau nak cakap apa melainkan syukur sangat. (Last IVF cycle diwaktu ini beta hcg saya hanyalah 40!)

Saya bersyukur sangat2 akhirnya doa saya dimakbulkanNya. Sekarang saya kena jaga diri elok2, bedrest setakat mampu sampai next appointment 5 February.

Masih panjang lagi journey ini tapi saya tetap doakan semuanya berjalan lancar.

6 days post transfer

Still in waiting mode, saje rasa nak update.

1 days post transfer (dpt) : nothing at all
2 dpt : tender bbs
3 dpt :moderate cramping, tender bbs (breast), clear vaginal discharge (cvd)
4 dpt : bbs swelling; stomach pains, minor headache, cvd
5 dpt : moderate cramping, bbs sakit sangat2, cvd
6 dpt : moderate cramping, bbs sakit sangat2, cvd

Time keluar clear discharge tu memang saya asyik berulang alik ke toilet check panties. Risau sangat takut keluar kaler coklat or merah. Tapi lepas beberapa hari, I'm getting used to it. Dulu masa fresh IVF cycle keluar discharge maybe disebabkan lebihan Utregestan, at least sekarang ni mungkin sebab hormon sendri yang keluar kan.

Doakan semua selamat. Amin.

Btw, thanks to a friend of mine (u know who u are :)) for being there. I tend to 'mengadu' more to those going to similar situation di mana saya tak kenal mereka di alam realiti, but I feel like I know them forever.

FET today

Assalamualaikum semua. Saya start buat FET hari ni. Frozen Embryo Transfer.

As most of you already know, I actually was partially pregnant off of the fresh IVF cycle (low betas, no HB, no fetal pole) and had a D&C at 8-9 weeks.

I waited for 3-4 cycles after my D&C and so, here I am; on FET natural cycle. Th
ere are different between natural cycle and medicated cycle. Pls read here for your kind info.

In my case, my doctor prefers to do natural cycle FETs; meaning that I wouldn't take any meds at all. No estrogen, no progesterone, nothing.

Tapi masa nak tentu kan my ovulation day (1st ovulation day iwill be my Day-1), ada slight problem because this cycle took a longer period, 37 days. Selalunya my cycle took 30-33 days. So this cycle my ovulation is on day 24!

Camne monitor ovulation day? I use predictor test kits (OPKs). I would pee on a stick (for everyday from day 14- day 24!).
Memula hampir2 kena abandon this cycle sebab tak dapat double line. At last dapat jugak.


Lepas FET, I'm only given duphaston. And to wait for another 10-12 days for UPT, that can be done by myself. Senang kan?


The FET cycle takes almost as long, but it is so much easier and not nearly as stressful. As for success rates, the difference between fresh and frozen is so slight, and the nurse told me it's easier for some women to do a FET because it's less stress on your body, which can help with implantation.

Tak tau la kan, lain orang lain badan and hormon dia. Wish me the best ya, thanks :)
