Thank for reminding.
I dont scared cold so its ok.
Embryologist yet to call me.
Later see CHR nurse for update.
I just have to tell myself to relax and be patient
MonkeyChick,
Thanks for the blessing.
I am still a bit worried why embryologist never call me yesterday. I am sure i did not miss the call as i was looking at the phone almost all the time yesterday until CHR nurse call me.
Haha...your last sentence make me laugh. So cute. I am pretty sure i will go toilet immediately after the procedure
Just a side note, my TCM told me that after implatation, everything as normal but need to slow down and more gentle. If you wake up from bed, dont jump off, use your hand to slowly get up and walk slowly. Dont know how true it will affect the uterus but better listen
Yes. Received the call from embryologist. Both embbies survived after thaw and develop to compact stage. Waiting at NUH now.Hav u received the call?if not, can let Chr nurse noe..they can help u remind embryologist that u haven received an update...stay relax ya...fighting!

I was mistaken that 500ml need to drink within 2 hours. Was just told need to finish within 30 mins and hold the bladder for one hour before ET.
I need to breathe in and out to relax..if too nervous i think my bladder full easily. Haha

better see a GP. they will prescribe pregnancy safe medications. there is an ivy extract cough mixture that is safe.Wah I missing so much action in here this afternoon!
Well done @happybb2015!
I just went for my last proluton jab at noon. Supposed to throw party to celebrate but I'm having such a bad cough that my tummy's cramping from all the coughing
So scared violent coughing will harm bb. I tried bend over to minimize trauma to tummy. Any sure-work remedy to suggest?
I did... Finished the whole bottle of cough mixture & still coughing. Sighzbetter see a GP. they will prescribe pregnancy safe medications. there is an ivy extract cough mixture that is safe.
Oh something newAiyo. You can try boiling nan xing bei xing with apples and pears. nan xing bei xing is for cough and its not really consider herbal. they are nuts.
Day_Dreaming,For mediated FET, which day of menses cycle do I have to start on Mercilon? Thinking to convert to mediated FET because unable to take so many off days from work.
Day_Dreaming,
I am on medicated FET. Very long cycle. I started Mercilon on Day 2 of my menses, it happened that Day 2 is my review with Prof after ER. He said good(as usual) then prescribed the mercilon for 21 days.
On Day 14 of mercilon, you need to go back to NUH for a injection (not painful at butt). After 21 days of mercilon, wait for menses to come, mine was post 7 days; my bff is 3 days...depend on individual.
On Day 2 of menses(full flow), you have to go back to NUH for blood test and start another medicine, i was prescribed with progynova ( my bff too).
Progynova to be taken for 14 days and on D14, go back to NUH for scan to check if lining is ready for FET.
The whole process i waited for 7 weeks. Hope this info is helpful
Bff = best friend forever...haha.Thanks happybb2015 for the detailed explanation!
What does Bff stand for?
Yes very long process. Good you have finally reached the TWW now.
Bff = best friend forever...haha.
SHe is my primary school friend, good friend for many years and she recommended me to go to Prof for IVF
I'm down with stomach flu suay suay on my Nore day 1! Sian. I called chr they say still must take the Nore. Can I ask do u all know if we're sick during ivf still can do stims? Still can do ER and ET?
I think it's more cos of the heaty food I ate. Past few weeks no appetite so I went for spicy & fried foods (which I used to hate).. I can't swallow plain foods.@remembeRainbow
I wonder if your cough is due to the on and off hazy conditions in Singapore. Because the PM2.5 particles levels in the air are pretty high these 2 weeks. I feel my nose is going to drop off, it has been dripping nonstop for 2 weeks lol. I always get runny nose and cough every time the haze strikes.
Hope the nan xing bei xing remedy suggested by the ladies help for your cough.

Aarlysa,
Please call to make appointment early. I call for appointment mid of Nov 2014, my first appointment with Prof was schedule on 13 Jan 2015.
Note that Prof will on leave in May(think whole month)...you better call and check it out
Thanks babe. Yes upping vit c big time after I recover. My #1 is passing many virus to us cuz she just started childcareCan continue stims but if u r feverish(big touch wood) on day of ER or ET, esp ER,they may hav to cancel.
Being sick on norE cycle is fine..no worries at all. Nonetheless,do ensure ur stomach flu is not virus-induced...if yes,cure it b4 u start stims.
Virus infection is a no esp when u r going for an op..
No worries,u r way in time to recover...
Haha...i just bought slice fish (2 packets) for fish soup. Will boil the soup with tomatoes, slice ginger and silky toufu. Simple soup. the rest of the fish will steam with ginger.It's nice to have a bff around you who can give advice and emotional support along the journey. How are your "fishy" meals getting? Your post made me curious to see your fishy fridge content haha.
My friend managed to guess that I am seeking IVF treatment. She thinks IVF is 100% sure guaranteed way of getting pregnant. She kept asking me a lot of questions about IVF and after I explained many times, she still doesn't get it. Every month, she would ask me "Are you pregnant?"
I'm so glad to find this comforting forum. My only support is my hubby but I don't want to give him stress as he has enough stress in his work.
My brother is trying one method 2 days ago. He has sensitive nose and hard to breath when he sleep at night. He tried to soak the wolfberry (1 is enough), once the wolfberry soften, use scotch tape to place it at the middle of nose, between the eyes. Then go to sleep. He said its work. But i am not sure if will help in flu. No harm trying@remembeRainbow

Chloe...i am having cough during stims and not yet recover on ER day. Prof said can see gp and hope to get well before ET. You can consult him and better get well soon.

Thank you. All the best to you and happy for you, one step ahead. Jia youThanks for your advise @happybb2015. I guess i wont be taking prof since he'll be away in May. Going for my first jab this friday. & will still go for subsidise route since im pretty confident with the doctors in NUH.
Good luck on ur 2WW!!!! sending all the best of luck to you!!

that must hv been terrible! hugs! We chose not to tell anyone. I hv a cousin whose wife went for ivf, they hv 2 daughters now, but relatives are still talking abt it. Speculating whether becos wife is old etc. Terrible! So we decided not to say anything, not even to parents. Let them think that we dont want another child. Until now they still don't know I bfp. I waiting for scan next week to confirm heart beat first. M/c news also travels far and fast one. Nobody needs to know.I can totally understand how u feel on the friend asking every month...n the perception of ivf equating to being pregnant...jus try to take it easy ya...some friends or even closest siblings may not understand coz they r not in our shoes...we cant fault them for it though sometimes...is really getting on our nerves...my sister once subtlely implied to my aunties that soon we can all celebrate n eat pig trotters vinegar(a dish given to relatives during confinement mth)....that's my first fet..i was really caught by surprise....
Still...jus smile...n tmr will b a better day...hehe

My mummy found out coz I was admitted to A&E n hospitalized due to post ER complication..it was my sister's bdae tt day n they were expecting me to join them for a dinner...we tried so hard to keep mum but pijar lobang that day..my mummy was pretty upset I din tell her...her stand was having baby or nt is not a major concern or must to her..but if I get into any issues,how can she b the last to noe?
I kinda understand her thots...
Subsequently, we only tell mums...
N true news travel very fast one...tongue wagging....
Btw, u all noe fan weiqi n blackie?Taiwanese celebrities...their baby boy twins r fruits of 2nd ivf...they shared honestly but got critical comments from friends...n blackie apologized...y?I dun understand y he has to apologize for something they worked hard for...
And another lady Chen mingzhen...she attempted 20 times for ivf.....3 weeks ago, she was on tv with her twins n she thank those that supported her n those that criticized her on her ivf journey...made her stronger n more eager to reach her destination n achieve her mission....very impressive lady...

I used to think that if one day I get my bfp, I'd be jumping with joy & all the heartache I had will be forgotten.
I was wrong.
When I first saw my positive HCG report, I sobbed terribly. It was as if I let out all the hurt & pain accumulated all these yrs. I was happy, but surprisingly not as happy as I thought I'd be.
Even until this moment, I tear whenever I think of what I've gone thru. No amts of bfps will ever make that pain go away. But I choose to use this pain to remind myself to be thankful for this blessing. That same pain will motivate me to treasure my bb more.
And I won't want to forget that pain, cos I don't want to be immune to the same pain that many others are still going thru.
And yes, I'm a 1 in 8 too
