(2014) ivf mummies support group

joynpeace said:
Tretinoic acid and vitamin a derivatives are mostly prescription acne meds.. :). Usually wont be in usual skincare products.. I think maybe stick to the usual skincare is ok, things that clear acne or whiten skin may contain harmful ingredients. I think some skin whitening products have hydroquinone which is bad for skin but not sure abt effects on baby (recently Kose recalled a lot of whitening products due to some harmful ingredient also). The downside is that I'm having bad breakouts on my chin from the hormones but can't apply acne products.. Getting a lot of scarring.. :(

I used to use clinique but switched to clarins as I love the scent of the products. Some pple prefer no scent though.. You can get clarins quite cheap at beautynscent.com.sg. I buy most of my products from them, and so far all the things I bought look genuine. They also have the clarins tonic oil for stretch marks n also stretch mark cream. Some mummies got gd reviews but then other cheaper creams also have gd reviews.

Origins just doesn't work for me somehow.. :(. Another brand u can consider is Korres, an all natural Greek brand. They have a outlet at Millenia Walk.

Hi All,

I'm back to the chat and join in the thread if you all don't mind. I am preggie almost 6 weeks but admitted to kkh last wed due to heavy bleeding n got discharge on sat. The bleeding did reduce but has yet to stop. During the stay, no treatment given but just observation n usual medicine. Plan to go for 2nd opinion to see a PTE Dr this evening for further advice.

I don't know whether is it Normal to have bleeding /spotting but dr says is not good for early stage preggie to bleed. Now what I can do is bed rest n later seek for 2nd opinion to see how to protect my twins.

Kitty28... We are similar... Had the support jab on Wednesday night and was discharged on Sat too! Did your doc gave you HL to bedrest at home? Mine left with few little brown spots now... We jiayou together ya!

want2bmummy, have a good rest ya!

Thanks kmei2... Am having lots of bedrest... Get up only to go to the toilet... Praying that these spottings/bleeding stop for gd soonest

joynpeace said:
Dreamirene, some things are no no.. Eg salicylic acid (pimple creams n acne products), tretinoic acid (can cause birth defects). I just stopped using those things.. But I was using clarins previously, so I just continued as clarins is mostly natural.. I think if you are used to your skin products, probably ok to continue except for the no no ingredients..

rest well! Take care.. Ask your hubby to buy/rent some comedies for you to watch while on bed rest.. Maybe happy hormones can help..

Thanks joynpeace! Yeah, watch some comedies... Really made me laugh so much that my tummy hurts... Now need to stop for a while though... Haha...

Dr Sandhana gave me HL till 31 Aug. she said there's nothing can be done to stop the bleeding. The support jab and dupaston are to ease the womb. Therefore needs to have lots of bedrest. If red bleeding again, I hve to go down to O&G to check on my pregnancy and get the jab. She also said that too much progesteron is not very gd for the baby, that's why she limits to me having 3 tabs a day.

Before I was discharged, they sent me for another scan... My baby is still gg strong and everything is normal... The only thing to take care now is not to move too much so that my womb is at eased. Pray hard that the bleeding/ spotting is gone forever.

hello wisdom, I would like to know why the bleeding/spotting too. This morning, I was bleeding more than usual in red & I rushed to see my doc & did the usual scan etc. he told me that he has no answer for the bleeding/spotting & the best we can do is to rest & hope that it will stabilize at week 12for your info, I seem to check into KKH every week due to this spotting/bleeding & this is driving me nuts

Wisdom, have u considered tingkat dinner? I did that when I was first married four years ago.. Busy job then n no time to cook. Food is not the tastiest, but ok lah. And things may have improved since four years ago..

Towkayneo... Are there days when you don't have any spottings and it's totally clear?

I noticed that I will have the brown spots when I walk my normal pace and stand for too long. Nowadays, I had to walk very slowly, then I'm okay. Worried though if I will bleed once I'm back to work the next following week.

Got, when I am resting at home during the weekends lo, but the moment I go out, come liao - no brown spottings at least got one drop that kind lo. The most pressurizing is when you sat down for a period of time and you need to stand up & u felt liquid passing through.

hi wisdom28, for quick and healthy meals... have u tried getting some shabu beef/pork? Just a quick boil and you can add some sesame sauce (the jap kind). Have it with rice or porridge also can. For veggies, i would boil some broccoli or xiao bai cai in water with olive oil. simple meal with maybe only some left over rice. =P otherwise, can try some egg sandwish with wholemeal bread? Need to take more high protein food for baby.. during first trimester i was extremely tired and didnt want to spend long making my meals..
 
hi joynpeace, good news! dr tan finally reduced my prog to 2 pills a day.. and she cut the rest... now i no longer feel like a drug addict... hahaha... i hope my baby is doing well.. couldnt see gender at week 15+ cuz the little one was sitting comfortable on his bum! so cute...
 
mummies with spotting... u must have more bed rest and try to walk lesser as much as possible.. jiayou in stabalising the womb and take more warm stuff like warm water and warm chix essence....

see so many mummies with twinnies here... i miss my baby's twin so much... can i grab some of your twins dust for my next round? heehee... i havent pop and i think about next round already.... i am so greedy... =P


hi dreamirene, yes its true that some ivf mummies dont have early symptoms... my doc told me its becuz our bodies are used to the stims... that's y... i was just as paranoid as you are now as back then... didnt chance upon this thread.. most other threads i read had mummies who conceived naturally and thus, they had lots of nausea and serious vomit while i was only very tired.. that's all... so relax and remember that you have a beanie in your tummy, do not carry heavy stuff or rush around/run!
 
hmm joynpeace, i did ask dr tan before, she said salicylic acid can use... only tretinoid acid (usually needs prescription type) big no no... erythromycin doc also say can use...
