Cindy, I was with TFC too. According to nurse, TFC BT schedule is usually later (about 18 days post ER) and if your hcg levels at that time is at a safe level based on their standard (typically 3-digits) they will not require retest but will go straight to first scan at week 6 (that is 2 wks...

I gave birth to my gal at 39w4d via elective c sect soon after losing mucus plug & starting contractions. Decided on c sect coz bb position was still high and my pelvic structure is too tight for bb to engage smoothly.

Not fatal but I think can infect bbs just as it can infect adults so can also kena fever, sore eyes, sore bones and rashes? Better be safe lah

I have listened to the IVF Belief hypnosis cd by Helen MacPherson. It was a loan from a friend who bought it on Amazon and I downloaded it to my iTunes. I think Amazon no longer sells this but there are other hypnosis CDs for ivfs which you can consider. Check them out on Amazon -...

I researched before and also read in newspapers that to be effective agst Aedes mosquitos, you need DEET in repellent spray and OFF brand is recommended. http://www.today.com/health/consumer-reports-tests-reveal-best-insect-repellents-t20756 But bb is so small, so we have not used any spray on...

Don't mention :) You will not be able to see what the doc is doing to your belly or womb throughout the procedure as they will drape a surgical cloth in front of you to block your view. I also don't recall seeing any blood. The most action you will probably see is when the doc is birthing your...

I did half (epidural) for my elective c sect. Usually Gynae will prefer half unless emergency or certain medical conditions. Seeing your newborn immediately with your hubby helps in bonding and stimulates the hormones which benefits the mummy in recovery & breastfeeding better. After that, your...

Like Bunny said before. Bite the bullet and get through it. It will get better de. Just over a week and my hubby told me emotionally that he is really amazed by the strength of women as mothers

Congrats on bb's first month! Not easy eh. Give yourself & your mrs each a good pat on the shoulder.

Yes! Try for a gal :) you have a very supportive and sweet hubby. Thumbs up to daddy and of course, mummy! Jia you k!

*Big hugs* Persevere & hang in there babe! Jia you!

Hi babe, when you have done all that you best can, rem the one thing you can still do is try to be positive. Positive energy can help in ways that the eyes can't see. I succeeded only after 5 cycles (3 fresh & 2 fets) and just birthed my bb gal last Thursday. I'm with Dr Loh too. I have...

Hello @Tsum_tsum. Things are definitely getting better with each day as the body heals, gets adapted to the the lack of sleep & bb's schedule. I'm grateful that bb is great at latching so no problem with supply and no sore nipples etc. Only thing is that she gets tired before she gets her fill...

Hope your bub will be fine and recover soon

Aiyo sayang mummy. I did supplement with fm starting on 2nd day as supply was slowly building but pd updated that her jaundice started. As bm builds up, I tweaked the fm top up. If want to provide bm, no choice still must pump if not latch. Hang in there & hope you heal soon

Ya lah, thought gals one flow down like a stream one but my gal really can offer a little fountain ley. Many times liao and also have to arm myself with wet wipes or tissues.

I'm currently unemployed since mid of my Ivf journey last year. So not entitled to ML. Feel like full time unpaid cow on duty now lol

Doc did say that becoz her blood type same as mine so jaundice expected to be mild. Plus she's been latching very well so my bm kicked in & transitioned well which helped. That said, she also noted jaundice is common and will clear eventually if bb takes in adequate milk. So Jia you mummy and bub!
