Hi Cally, after D&C, there will be some bleeding, cos the sac has been removed from the wall of the uterus so there is a small wound there which will bleed a little, until it heals. there may or may not be some pain, but not a lot. You should have been given some medication to deal with this?
For me, my D&C was done quite well and my body healed very quickly so the bleeding lasted only a few days and there was very very little pain.
for food, there is no must. just try to keep your womb warm, like take more warm drinks, don't take things that are too cooling. but generally, not to worry too much. i guess if you are more eastern-thinking than western-thinking, you might want to do a mini-confinement, but my gynae never mentioned anything like that. He just told me to rest and the most important is to recover emotionally, because otherwise you may be slow to recover physically. He even told my husband privately to keep an eye on my state of mind, make sure i don't get depressed.
as for ttc, generally you should wait at least one full cycle. You need to make sure that you are starting to ovulate again, that your body hormones have gone back to normal. gynae may advise you to monitor for 1-3 cycles?
Cheers.

Is it more jiat lat to have a miscarriage or abortion???
I know if miscarriage needs mini confinement... how about abortion??

Hi butterkiss..
apparently, a miscarriage is also known as spontaneous abortion. Not sure if you mean induced abortion??
I think if induced one.. deliberate act. Not very nice lah. Brings about a connotation of killing to me lah. But I think if fetus not compatible for life then I think different issue lah.

hi bunnipet,
Thanks for the reply. I am just curious and wondering.... =)
I guess, sometimes due to circumstances, one has no choice but to choose this route ===> abortion. Especially for those who are young and not married or bf left them...

btw.. anybody used babydust HPT and showed +ve?
Hmmm... I just tried and is -ve. Today CD 26.
I can't remember which brand I bought the last time, from malaysia, around 10 plus and it could pick up on CD 25. Having pretty similar symptoms now. Think have to wait for a couple more days before testing again....
argghhh..... the agony of waiting!!! Was just telling my DH, maybe should just go for rampant BD man!!! BTW.. does anybody know whether it is ok to BD during TWW?

Yup.. Butter..
it is tough on the young and reckless ones. Actually, I quite like the advert about leaving the
kids for adoption. At least, those who are willing to carry thru could offer their child a lease of precious life!
However, the stigma for these pple are kindna difficult to erase. quite sad too.

But then again, don't think I will be so lucky to strike the jackpot during 1st time of trying... =(

Piyobaby! Congrats dear... Can TTC very soon... Praying for your AF to come sooner! =)
Hi Cheekymonkey & princessjJ! Welcome to the big family!
Pinkie... I love schnauzers!!! I am so thinking of getting a white MS wor... But still trying for baby dunnoe can handle 2 dogs and 1 baby the next time...=(
Cally, when my sis in law did a D&C, she had a 2 weeks confinement. My mum look after her and made her confinement food as well, I guess it depends on you. But I felt that maybe 1 week is enough for my sis in law, especially emotionally. Cause when she goes back to work, she doesn't brode over the D&C as much as she was when she was at home...
bunnipet, what is TWW?
butter... hoping mine too... this month first month actively trying so crossing our fingers too!
sheryl, my friend was saying also the more you talk about it, the better it is to get over...

purin,
IUI cycle normally only involve artificial insemination. This is normally done when there is no female factor infertility involved. Whereas the aim of SO-IUI as the name suggest superovulation ... it carries the aim to induce more eggs to be produced. But unlike IVF, the aim is to produce about 2-3 eggs max. Anything more, its either abandon cycle (too high risk for high order multiples) or convert to IVF totally. In order to stimulate 2-3 number of eggs in one cycle, either clomid or injectibles will be given.
Clomid and injectibles are totally different thing. Clomid has a lower chance of producing multiple mature follicles. It work by raising both LH and FSH. Not all people respond to clomid (I am one of those who may not, thats why at that time I switch to so-iui). Whereas injectibles is actually injecting FSH which is the key hormone for stimulating and growing follicles into substantial size for ovulation (without also raising LH which is already higher in PCOS patients)
In a SO-IUI cycle, the gynae normally won't let you ovulate naturally due to LH surge, its normally done when close monitoring of the follicles sizes and quantities, when the right size and quantity occur, a profasi (hcg) jab is given to induce ovulation in a controlled manner. Then IUI is performed. After which is the 2ww.

Good Morning Poohy,
I have taken one cycle of clomid. Don't think it works cos my cycle is 32-34 days. Today is CD30 and AF not here yet. When I went for scanning at CD 12, no signs of ovulation.
The gynae gave me double dosage of clomid for this coming cycle.
Do you think I should ask for SO-IUI? By the way, and idea if clomid and injectibles can be given together?

Hi ladies, am in office working (now is Sunday, 8.30 pm). Upsetting.
Anyway, just to update, my Ovulation seems to have been delayed (although my cycle is not that regular in the first place). Combination of two factors - last week was estimated to be Ovulation week but I was sick (inflamed throat) and had insufficient sleep (yes, mahjong till wee hours of the morning... asking for it, I know) and secondly, WORK STRESS - lots of work piling up on my desk and deadlines this coming week.
Fertility monitor LOW LOW LOW all the way so far. Temperature chart has been unreliable because I was sick and because I was not sleeping normal hours (Friday night played mahjong till 6.30 am... oops).
Have not been BD-ing, for the same two reasons above.
Sigh... just hoping that I have not missed the egg and will still ovulate this cycle. Gotta hurry up and clear my work so that hopefully my body will release my egg... COME ON, BABY!!!
