Mumtobe and Duthie,
My scan is ok too. Cant remember the size of bb, think its 7.6mm.. Its 6 weeks 5 days now, EDD 16/5/2012. Doc never say must scan again, but will see him 2 weeks later..
Jane, congrats!
U'll be given progesterone med to take and folic acid.. Nurse will schedule ur appt for scan at AMC and see doc about 2 weeks later. In the meantime, must be careful, dun walk too much, dun carry too heavy things ya? If theres any spotting or crampy feeling around abdominal area, dun hesitate to go O&G clinic. If u're working and need mc, can ask from them too. All the best..

Hi Jane
Congrats. You can use this sight to calculate + or - few days is what doc recommends. So quite accurate.

Baby, yes, going for medicated FET. Dr prescribed me with Progynova and Asprin. Other than that, I'm taking Conceive Well Gold, Folic Acid and TCM Medicine. I'm doing acupuncture twice a week. My TCM Dr told me to drink red dates and wolfberry every day to have good blood flow and I add black dates in. If I feel heaty, I will drink a teaspoon of honey and mix with water. When are you going for your first U/S for FET? Are you on natural/ medicated FET? I'm not sure if can drink Ginseng but I know honey is a bit cooling. Guess you drink moderate or check with your TCM Dr cos' for KKH nurse/ DR will not advise TCM Medicine to be taken during IVF procedure.
Heartbeats, you are welcome and hope it's useful for you. I've constipation during my fresh cycle for 2WW. It's quite miserable unable to let go my tools that I use to every day without fail. I push quite hard when I had the feel after taking prune juice or soften tool liquid, and afraid my embryos would be pushed out. All kinds of funny thoughts during 2ww. Come to think about it now, it's like a comedy.
Yes, I'm started with progynova and will be going for my U/S next Mon morning. Looks like FET will be late this round (predicted from the scan time). I guess priority will be given to fresh cycle ladies.
Cravings is one of the symptoms for preggy. I had a total change with my taste bud. Take moderate on your tidbits because they are high in salt content and preservatives that are bad for your health.
Splw18, cool down gal. A warm hug to you. As what Heartbeats has suggested you to go to KKH for a detail check and fix the need. Technology nowadays is very advanced, so no worries. You can try TCM to strengthen your body and do exercise. Be positive and move on.
BBB, sorry to know it doesn't good. The result is not out yet so don't worry too much.
Jaded, yes taking TCM medicine every morning and night. If taking western medicine, has to be at least 2 hours apart. Are you on medicated / natural FET?
Enigmaysl, take care and rest well. Glad you are under a good hands with your DR.
Sugary, welcome in. When is your first U/S? Are you on medicated/ natural FET? Mine is next Monday and with Dr Loh, KKH, too.

Kimmy, mrs.wong class is conducted by TmC but held at AMk hub (for some reason), so yeah you register Cbe (child birth education) online at TmC site as what i attached earlier (find the yellow highlighted and click there). Create an account with tmc and then u can register online. My edd is 17apr but most likely twins will come out earlier so actually a bit tight. If you take 4feb class, will end at 6mar (last session doctor's talk held on tues at another place). I'm taking the 2-4pm one every sat, would be great if you'll be taking the same class!
Ashley! Thanks!! Me and another sister (she silent reader here) joining that class! 2-4pm! Yay yay. Can make friends then next time mummy dates!
Vann - yahoo! Same edd...or ard there. So can join the feb class since ending 6 mar
Today boss comment why everyday my tummy like grow bigger. She said last time she preggy not everyday grow bigger. I told her I still wearing my normal clothes mah!!!!! So not all loose cut can. Alamak!!! Today on train 2 people pretend to sleep in front of me but 2 people also v nice. One even got out of his seat, tap me on shoulder to offer me seat. Hehe I super the cheap thrill!

Hi koirc, sorry.. Meant to answer ur question. Forgot.. Memory failing me!! The other 2 hormones we r tested for r progesterone n estrogen. According to nurse ( if I recall correctly), these 2 nos shd remain high but can fluctuate. Progesterone is the pill we r eating now. So I guess it's impt. Not sure abt estrogen though.. Did not bother to go check internet for it's purpose..

Kimmy, yay got friends to attend the class! My DH planning to come along also. We have to remember to pay 2wks in advance, otherwise the seat is not confirmed!
Hopeful, me cannot sleep well also at night these days, always wake up a few times. And yeah feeling super tired too. You rest well!
Koirc, my BT result only has Hcg le, maybe not tested for the other 2.. Don't worry you should be fine!
Duthie, thanks.. Yes we are so happy to be expecting twins, but twins mean more worries for me cos normally more complications.. For a start it seems like i'm having double portion of MS too compared to the rest
Have a good evening everyone..

Ashley - yah, I told my hubby you 'need to' go. hahaha and he said okay so I think also good training for them
I paid online liao. I super kiasu lah, cuz if I can't get Feb slot, no other slots already..hehe
Ron - I saw Nov slots are getting full quite fast and left very few classes so do sign up soon okay?
Koirc - hehe tell them you didn't get your 12 hours beauty sleep! hehehe. I also find if I sleep anything below 8 hours, wah my coleagues actually told me that I look less radiant than on my first day at work. Of course lah...i accumulated a lot of 'beauty sleep' prior to first day at work can...ahhahaahah
Sisters - those in 2nd tri, do you feel less & less "preggy"? Suddenly I do, like I feel very normal hahaha and sometimes it freaks me out!
Also, while applying stretch mark cream this morning, I noticed my belly button looks 'cleaner' (sorry for sounding gross or TMI) as in its no longer so concave and its almost popping out to be 'flat' along with the tummy and I just see it and it looks so.... i duno how to describe it. But anyone?

Lol. Kimmy, I think I slept too much lor. I've been sleeping at 8.30pm and waking up for a short while near midnight and then all the way to the morning. But it doesn't seem to be enough.
And the frustrating thing is I get hungry and tired at the same time. So sometimes, don't know to eat first or sleep first. I ate my dinner last night and fell asleep soon after. Then I felt queasy as though I have indigestion. Sigh!

Hee hee, Koric - you are not alone in your Macs
I've been getting my share of fries during midnight in the past 2 weeks. 2 other friends also mentioned they kept ordering Macs in their first 3 months, but suddenly after that, Macs turn them off already. Wah! Talk about changing tastebuds. Hehe I know what you mean! I will sleep and have to wake up to pee. So annoying, like it interrupts sleep. And I've read before that a 7-8 hr sleep is usually measured by un-interrupted sleep. Oh man, still struggling my way to look like a decent, glowing mom-to-be. Not a panda one. haha

Kimmy, the first class on 27jan is a friday?
Hi Ashley,
No prob! Yah... i just realized that its a Friday too..and now I get why they called me to tell me Mrs Wong is travelling and hence she won't be starting a class on 4 Feb, instead she will start 27 Jan. I think you can call them and ask (if say you need a Sat) whether you can attend a 28 Jan one (its by a different person) and then re-join mrs Wong's class the following Sat? I'm not sure...tried calling them but they knock off work liaos. Will check with them tomorrow cuz finding out for another sister too.

Hi Ashley - to add on, me and another sis may go on our own for the first class on friday. I checked the cirriculum and its basically myths, traditions, nutrition & instructional video. Husband's role & hands-on starts from lesson 3. That's if hubby cannot take leave ah..
See you there! We can form our little anenatal group liao. hehe

Kimmy, the funny thing is I have more appetite for all these unhealthy food. But after I eat them, I feel sick.
I used to eat economical bee hoon every day. But ever since the IVF, I try to be healthy and take cereals for breakfast instead. Maybe you're right, I'm not used to such oily food anymore.
Have a nice weekend sisters! So happy that weekend is here again. Yay!

Oh yeah, saw in ivf support thread tat said dr sf loh leaving kkh to tmc in jan2012. Alamak, now dunno who to choose now if continue stay in kk. Hmmm dunno if ok if go back to my previous gynae but he no experience w ivf case leh. Anyone any idea if preggy via ivf, anything to look out for after 1st trimester or it will b same as natural pregnancy?
Tzac - is that true?! In that case then wow, my dilemma of gynaes to choose I roughly can make decision already... Hai... But I heard tmc packages not bad!!! Reasonable too...
If singleton- after 1st tri, pregnancy is exactly like natural pregnancy.
hope this info helps. I verified w gynaes and read in books too.
