Joy ya week 5 is really too early to detect. Normally week 6 onwards and I understand that V scan is pretty normally for early stage of pregnancy. Becoz my sis in law is in her 2nd trimester now n understand from her she had V scan during 1st trimester to detect bb hb.

yeah Laki, you are right, let's make Aug a BFP month also =) Jia You.
Joyfully: Good that you are feeling better. Must stay smiley and cheerful during this period. Am starting most likely 2nd wk of Aug. Getting a bit nervous abt it, even Dr Zou say my heartbeat has been very fast, ask me to relax. hehe.
Any recommendation of what other juices to mix with immunocal? I haf been using orange juice now only. Is it better to mix with juices only becoz cannot be hot?

Laki_gal, lil_ponyo and sunniehope,
Let's all work hard towards our bfp!
Laki_gal,
I think it's fine, i also don't really know wat else to do.. I guess most important is to keep healthy and keep our minds positive
I plan to stop my LRD drink when the injections start.. Cos my doc says no medicinal herbs when ivf.. Not sure if the dates and longans are considered herbs but i'll just stop it to be on the safe side..

Joyfully, I'm good! Don't worry too much I think it's too early for you to detect anything. I'm having my scan next sat. Hope everything will be smooth!
Reikibaby, thank u so much for ur advice. I understand where u are coming from, and to be frank, I completely agree. Just that when weighed against other very pressing considerations, I will take the gamble for now. Oh yes, will let dr Zhao know, bet she'll also tell me not to be ganjiong. For healing, I did read about it in previous threads, otherwise it's something foreign to me. I recall many went to Valencia Tan, is she ur laoshi too? When I first started ivf, I didn't dare to go for accu cos of my fear for needles. But eventually went cos I felt I should do everything to help myself. Maybe it's also time for me to try healing. Has it helped u? I'm definitely not adverse to it and am willing to give it a try. What happens at a healing session, do we need to do anything or just lie there?

Yah Mdm Tan is my laoshi. Tell her about yourself and when you starting to cycle. Then she will advise you when and how often to go to her. We will just lie down, eyes close and she will 'heal' us. The whole 'healing' is abt an hour.
I felt peace after the session and so far quite shun shun li li. My beta is next week, will reveal more after my results and what laoshi 'see' .
BabySmurf
Her price is $180 per session. But maybe you give her a call and check. Are you going to her for you next cycle?

Reikibaby, thanks for the info.
Luv, I didn't request for it. Think Angela bu fang xin to let me travel, so try to do abdominal scan and hopefully can detect sth. She was telling me, your pregnancy is so precious, better not risk it as first tri is usually more fragile. I know she meant well, so I had no choice but to heed her advice.
SunnieHope, all the best to your Aug cycle! Jiayou ok? I also mix immunocal with Milo (the packet) type.

I'm with Dr Loh now for this cycle.
Joyfully
Oh cos you intend to travel... That explained why she scanned you early. Angela & dr Paul normally prefers tummy scan to V-scan. Heed her advice. Dun take the risk. Too precious....

Hey ladies
Do you know what it means to have dark-red/brownish-red period instead of bright red? I noticed my bleeding has changed colour ever since I started IVF. Quite disturbed.

Hi eggfactory, it is probably becoa of your chemical pregnancy or the treatment. After my chemical/treatment, it was oso more clotty n crampy than usu. it shld regularise after. Dun worry so much.
Hi bigbear, it is gd to hv a change of clinic. No worries. Wat is nb is u feel ready

Hi ladies, been a silent reader for a while since i had BFP-ed in May ( but sad to say i had m/c on 7+weekplus, no HB). I truly happy that is such forum that i had benefit alot. Congrats to all the BFP ladies n hv smooth pregnancy ahead for u all ladies! Seeing so many had bfp, i cant wait for next fet in Nov as i giving myself 3 months to build up my body..
I just went for my 1st accu with Dr Zou early this month, and as im a non-chinese, i find it hard to really communicate with her even though i know she is very her best to gimme more info. she is very nice n motherly lady. Just wanna know from the ladies here if i can add honey to med that she prescribe to me? Its so bitter and i nearly puke whenever i take the med..

Transfering frm KK to TFC, TFC will charge discounted storage fee @ $300 a year instead of usual $900. KK will charge a fee to release the embryos. Also you have to arrange for KK to transfer to TFC, not sure about the charges. TFC will not arrange the pickup from KK.
Also, you have to make sure the bloodtest of HIV, Rubella etc are still valid (within 6 mths from the last bt) before you transfer to TFC, else TFC will not accept. You can call TFC and check with Samseah.
