Thanks!
Hi both, I'm as new as both of you, and just a bundle of nerves as well! I got my BFP yesterday. I was happy yesterday and today I'm just worrying. My second BT is tomorrow... Hope all goes well.
I thought I was nervous during the 2ww, but I think the longer wait is just starting. Glad to see the both of you here, and really hope more joins us!

Haha! Hi-5! I know right?!....the worrying is agonizing lor. Which doctor are u with? So good u have BT within 2-3 days. Mine is a week later! Grrr...
And congratulations on ur BFP!!!
Thanks!!
I'm with a private clinic at gleneagles. And I think my dr does things abit differently and has a different process from the kk drs. So sometimes I can't understand most of the discussions in the main ivf thread.
Me and hubby am keeping this quiet. Even our parents don't know we were trying this route. So far, only our dear doggie's been told about the BFP. And this thread, of cos

yes I am looking forward to it!It's ok I also got big tummy now... Many ppl commented I look 7-8mth but i am only 5mth lei. Nvm lor what to do? Everyone is different, think the tummy shd be the least of our worries.
@chrisl i only felt bb moving more regularly from 20 wk. before that was like some movement every 2-3 days and sometimes don't even know is it the baby or it's gas. U will start feeling the movements more regularly soon

@MissyV11 yea I also feel lost there at times. Haha. I'm with private doc...dr Roland chieng. But guess he's too busy so schedules second BT a week later
Your doctor's method is more similar to western style like US or Aussie-land, they do BT every 2 days
Oh is it? I'm not sure if I have to go for BT on Wednesday (my doc usually tells me one step in advance only). But honestly I don't mind going every 2 days haha.
I was telling my hubby I feel like buying more hpts so that I can pee on it everyday and see if the line is darkening! But we agreed it would be too obsessive hahahahaha
I need to go toilet more frequently at night since week 3, and I have more flatulence week 4 which is really embarrassing and I need to poo the first thing in the morn I wake up. Basically, bladder is weaker. There are days that I do not have cramps but not often. In a week, maybe only 2 -3 days are cramp free. Week 3-4, I have the worst cramps. Cramp at week 5 is getting better and not so bad and long, maybe at most 10 min. But these few days, I noticed my energy are lower too, probably because I shop a lot and cook. But previously, before preggy, my energy is definitely higher. And I still have breast tenderness since stims. Hmm, pardon me, many of the symptons sound embarrassing.
How about you? Which week are u at? Any symptons so far?

Hi hopeful_still, can I ask which doc in KK you went to see?
I'm currently also under doc Sadhana, so will need to decide on another doc soon cos I'm now 8 weeks plus. My husband prefers that we stay with KK cos all my medical records are there and cos we're expecting twins, in case of complications. A bit anxious of finding someone that I'm confortable with...

Thank you mummies, for your love and support! I hope my experience will be an inspiration to you to enjoy every minute of your pregnancy, as you begin to develop a lasting bond with your baby.
Btw, I highly recommend my gynae Dr. Paul Tseng. He has a clinic at TMC and is very pro natural, especially if you're really looking forward to having a natural delivery. My previous gynae at RH hinted at me strongly to do a planned c-sect, against my personal wishes for a natural delivery, and even scared me so much with the "high risk of [emergency] c-sect" that I tried to starve myself and induce contractions in the hopes that the baby would not be so big and would come out earlier - perverse actions that were not necessarily good for the bb. I switched to Dr. Paul in my 39th week and delivered naturally and safely on the last day of the same week. It was a beautiful, unforgettable birth experience.
It's probably a little early for most of you to talk about birth plans, but the lesson I learnt is that you must be very careful in choosing your gynae. Find out his/her values/philosophies, and think about what sort of birth you want (natural vs c-sect, epidural or no epidural, episiotomy or no episiotomy, chemical induction vs waiting it out etc. etc.), then see if the two match. Do not go with a gynae whose recommendations on your birth plan make you feel uncomfortable. As mine was an IVF pregnancy and I feared miscarriage, I was anxious to find a gynae immediately in my 1st tri and went straight for the first female gynae I came across (as I thought I would feel more comfy with female doctors), and came to regret the decision as you can see.

I've almost similar symptoms as urs. I should be at 5 weeks now (based on tht calendar online!)
Cramps are on & off. Flatulence & wind are present for me too. I read will have constipation but I didn't have so far. Urination is frequent too.
I still have nausea on & off but it's not triggered by any food or smell. It just happens. Grrr
Hi Archie
Congrats on ur newborn! So cute! I have also safely delivered a week ago on 38 weeks with induced labour due to my blood sugar monitoring condition and baby not getting much bigger. But I survived w/o epidural and i'm also amazed at myself on hw i did it. Lol. Hope you are enjoying motherhood now. Now i understand the feelings of a dairy cow... haha...

I've been worrying non stop because after BFP im like lost.
But after reading the posts here & a stern warning by my mum today tht since its a BFP I should just focus on the good & look forward, I feel better a bit.
I doubt so my worrying will go away until I go for u/s & see Smthg at least. But at least I feel good with all the positive words here!!

Main thing is a safe delivery hehe so excited for you actually..
but at 6wks post delivery, shld also consider your c-sec wound condition before taking care of the 2 when travelling. I assume w twins it will be c-sec
Do you know gender yet? Or not planning to know?
