Hi sistas, confirm that today is ovulation day, so now is to wait for chr call when embrologist will thaw then embrologist will call & saw thaw how many & exact time to do ET.
Waiting game again.
Mel-MC on which day is not a issue. On sat, at least these few days I can clear & delegate my work.
This round to me is like I going on annual leave of feeling, not so gan cheong to finish & think of many things at work.

Hi Everyone! How is everybody doing?
I have already given birth to my baby boy on 29 Feb 2012, a leap year baby. I gave birth at 34+6 weeks via emergency c-sect, my gynae Dr Stephen Chew did the operation for me. My waterbag was already leaking and had bacteria going in and cause baby to be distress and me, had a high fever. Rushed to NUH via ambulance. He had to stay in the NICU for 2 weeks and now is back in my arms.
Cool - good luck to your ET and please take care yah!

Hi ladies
I have always been a silent reader and just did my embryo transfer but not in NUH n have lot worries....so hope u ladies can help me
First day of transfer, I lie for an hour and I went pee, will effect?
Is it ok to sleep side way? As I did without noticing it at night
2nd day of the transfer, I already need to do house work but is those light chores like wash plates as I have no one to help me at home, so does it matter ?
Lastly , I kept walking n sit up as alway got call n need to drink water, basically not lying still
will it effect the implantation , will the egg be still there?

Hi Hoping, do not get so worried. U should try to keep stress-free.
The embryo if placed properly into the uterus should not 'fall" out. In NUH, we have bed rest for 2hrs. If need pee, usually can get a bedpan. This is to avoid getting up and down. But now they do not insist, can go toilet yourself if u want to.
I don't think sleeping sideways matters. How can we limit our sleeping position esp after we have fallen deep in sleep? If sleeping position matters, nurses and Drs would have advised
us.
Simple chores is ok. Not mop floor, squart up and down, anything that is tiring is no no.
It cannot be expected that we lie on bed for 24hrs a day. Many sistas spent their 2ww being couch potato watching tv programmes. But do try get some bed rest, that's what the mc is all about; so that we minimise stress, physical activities but get enough rest.
Don't worry so much. Keep a happy spirit and pray for success.
Good luck!

Hi ladies
How r u all?
I did my embryo transfer, 2 embryo and the rest never make it
So sad, hope my 2 babies can make it.
Also a little disappointed as during my procedure in NUH, beside in the theater room I never really see Prof or CHR staff at all....
Never really lie down but try to lie as much as possible. Very hard to be gentle and slow pace or can said I can never make it. Die lah
Oh ya funny question... Will laughing too hard , coughing cause the embryo be out? As was laughing non stop to a show haaaaa
Finally, ladies mind sharing your "symptom" / "feeling" during your days in 2ww?
Me now is day 5, cramp on and off and that it.

Hi SJX, just hope the two inside at least one gives a positive BFP.
I think post ET Prof doesn't come by. But u should be given an appt to see him at clinic 3-4th day after transfer.
I have slowed down my pace first 5 days post transfer then I went back to work le as there is no one to do my work :-(
BTW, anyone here can advise, just now I cleaned myself, the crinone dried discharged came out. Today is the first time in this cycle it came out (and quite a bit). Then I saw faint pink specks within the crinone discharge. Scared. Dunno if it's gd or bad cos in my prev FET I had similar experience and was BFN. Anyone knows by which day can do urine pregnancy test

Coolcool, How are you? My BT is on Monday and now the nervousness is creeping in.
Blue: How are you doing? Hope we all get good news after our respective BT and share the joy together...When is your BT?
Mel & SJX, I am also having discharge. Initially discharge was of Utrogesten Tabs & from last few days Estrofen & crinone is also coming out. I sometimes feel that AF will come from last 2 days. Just keeping my patience and trying not to read between the lines.
Lee, how are you? Why u silent from last few days? When is your BT? Hope you are doing great.

Hi siddhi, failed my ivf n was pretty miserable. Didn't want to bring negative vibes in so I thought will just recuperate first before trying again. 
I'm feeling better now. My boss was aware n told me to try again but I was actually laughing because I was like away for 3weeks for tis cycle n now u're telling me to try again n I'll be away again. Anyway I appreciate his kind gestures. Good luck to all the ladies here.

Just that I didn't have such experience and I thought it should be absorbed and the clumps only come out after several days (what goes in must come out theory?) Since u have already checked with CHR nurse there should not be cause for alarm. Just cont to pray and keep fingers crossed.
Melj, don't worry... I not thinking

Hi sistas, the discharges are normal. Sometime might even have pinkish colour. Chr nurse mention is coz body will push out those that was not absorb.
So don worry.
Mel- likely k check on 11 day bah, coz I check after I had brown discharge on last round.
Siddhi-Gd luck for yr BT on Mon.
Lee-hugz
Take this time go rest well & relax, before decide yr next step

Shi Jia Xin, BT is blood test. The BT we refer here is blood test for pregnancy. How many days after your ET? You can inform CHR that you got spotting. So that you can go for early blood test. If positive, you can have early support for pregnancy.
Su, thanks. I am sure you are pretty busy with your bb and work. Enjoy your motherhood.
Blue and Mel, when is your BT? All the best.

Siddhi- I can't answer yr question
If I bfp then I will say chance is high, haha
But I k tell u is that the whole process, I don't feel so stressful & tedious coz no injection or med involve, as my is natural FET
The only stress is the scans & whether I able to do ET, after the thaw.
Try to list down yr questions & 'bomb' at Prof

Siddhi- think thawing success, Prof also can't give u definite answer, coz it all depend on yr quality of embryos
I got the call from embrologist on Sat morning before transfer.
Out of 5, 2 cannot make it (arrested), 2 survive the thaw but become 4 cells. They are both 7 cells before frozen.
That mean I have only 1 frozen left.
But no matter how many cells they are, I have faith that they will grow well in my womb.
Now, I only k pray very hard that I bfp with them
