Hi tutu welcome onboard
I'm in my first trimester too.
Agreed the 2ww to see baby heartbeat is a long wait but it's worth it when you see it, it's like so magical hehe
Bbshower, so you will have 2 appt(scan n see doc at clinic C) each time? Cos they only give me appt at clinic C on my week 11 n Oscar scan at AMC 1 week later.

Tutu,
i still bled while on duphaston earlier in the pregnancy. there's no hard n fast rules when it comes to pregnancy, works differently for different people, even for the same person, the 2 pregnancies she had may be entirely different from each other. In pregnancy, we can plan n worry so much but truly at the endof the day things are not in our control, that's the power of nature. So instead of worrying of things not within your control, enjoy your pregnancy n look on the positive side of things. Your baby can feel it too
First time mummies, if you are keen in reading, can try this book, what to expect when you are expecting. it gives you a month by month analysis of what to expect for your pregnancy. Quite an easy read n don't have to read the whole book at one go. it has helped me explain some of the body changes i went thru during my first pregnancy which i was unsure of.

Tutu, my ET was done on 28 July! After mt ET I have not seen my gynae...all bloood test and progesterone shot all done by the nurse. So feeling very unreal... Dunno any problem or not.
I put on 3kg during my 2ww... I dunno if my water retention will be better... Going back to work tml... Sigh so fat now!
I seen Tcm before I went for my ivf session... So dunno should I go back Tcm to an tai?
Tutu, do you need to go back and take progesterone jab twice a week??

Tutu, what is fet??
After reading the previous thread saw some of you experience spotting... Feel quite worried...
Any sign before spotting? What is there to look out for?

Joyfully, do try to ask for an urgent appt with Dr Tan. Hope you receive good news from him! I'm going down to the clinic tmw too to see my doc. Maybe I'll bump into you.
Btw, sometimes the clinic staff are busy and don't pick up the phone in time. Just gotta keep dialing. Good luck!

Hi tutu normally for first trimester, gynae only suggests to take folic acid. Even for prenatal vitamins n fish oil, gynae will only advise to start from week 12. Reason due to ms. For me nt much ms gynae also advise to start from week 12.
As for black chicken soup n cordyceps, normally start in 2nd trimester too. Now can drink moderately. Maybe once every 2 weeks or so. Guess pure homemade chicken essence is better for first trimester.

Tutu, few herbs that must be avoided-
1) Ginseng
2) Dan gui
3) Bazhen
When eating outside, when in doubt, ask the cook if got put herbs as they may add some into gravy fro flavor.
Eg, I was taking this duck porridge regularly in first trimester and I only found out recently that they add dangui inside the sauce.

Even some bak ku teh soup has dan gui in it.
Tutu I m also with Dr loh. Can see thAt u r v excited and anxious. Do have a balance diet, fruits n veggies n meats. Sleep early n rest well. Those are equally important. Not necessary to take so much tonics n vitamins now. Cos bb is forming now.
As for tcm, depends on individual. If u took it before bfp, then should be ok.

Thanks whiteclover n sade! yes, doing my best to keep the preg going strong. This is my 1st so am pretty clueless, i just realised i have my follow up tcm appt booked for tomorrow 3 weeks ago, so i might as well go n see wat she has to suggest. Thanks again! 10 more days to hearing bb hb, finger crossed..
Sade, actually stop Tcm since I warded then I took once on thur n yesterday. The doc treat bleeding like nothing lor, she said since got heartbeat 90% safe. So just give me a jab n 2day mc. So worried when I feel something flow out when I woke up to toilet, thought last week spotting very light brown should be stopping soon but..haiz

Congrats and welcome fat chicken & tutu.
I'm also on an tai med now. Took tcm before bfp so decided to continue. Someone ask about accu after bfp? I'm with Dr Zhao from raffles so sometimes when she feels my pulse no good or face color no good she will accu me. However she say no accu better but if no good then hv to help the qi and blood to circulate and accu will be necessary.
