(2014) ivf mummies support group

Very envy u all can eat spicy food .. These few days, I got no appetite. I can only stomach mee hoon soup n porridge. I drink plain water will also vomit. I eat other food will feel nausea n sick. Everyday No energy n have to drag myself out of bed.. Luckily I no work. Can't imagine I have to work in this state... I can't wait for first trimester to be over man....
 


Kitkats, I am like you. No appetite one. Just eat to stay alive, give energy to beanie. I also don't like plain water. Nausea, always wanna puke. Lie also not comfy. Sit also not comfy. Still cramping. Still bloating. I also counting down to end of first trimester.
 
Circle, really my buddy.. Same same... Haha

How ur spotting? Stop already?
My spotting still there. Can only lie down. Go ntuc to buy a pack of nuts also spot. Go downstair for lunch also spot. My hubby said I can't use wheel chair. Must upgrade to stretcher.
 
Yah man, we really buddy. Mine seemed better. Brownish discharge. But I haven been out of the house since Tues. Today went out for dinner and walked to sheng siong to get more ribena. Hopefully won't spot or bleed. Now putting heat pack to sooth the cramps.

That day at kkh, doc gave me wheelchair. Not like to sit one. Sit until I got backache. So sad that we are so fragile. Hope we can grow stronger and better with each day.
 
Hugs both.. I also no appetite just to find good food to at least encourage me to eat. So far eat sour sour food like tom yam really can boost my appetite. Other than that no mood to eat. I am also drinking ribena as this is the only drink to boost my taste also. 1st trimester faster over. Oh I heard from my tcm saying also must at least 4 months then stable.

Same, my tcm doc also said the same thing. 4 months then stabilise. Faint faint.
 
Pray for all ivf mummies 4 months down smooth smooth fast fast over. Praying hard that 1st trimester will be over soon then now I heard need 4 mths to stable it's like another long wait. But then again I think as 1st time mummies esp through assisted fertility prog we will never be assured throughout the whole 10months till our precious is in our arms crying out loud :)

today out whole day, still cannot believe I got babies in my stomach now, everything is like before BfP life. I am thankful for the state I am in now, and I hope our guardian angel from above will continue to watch over us throughout this 10months journey.

Kitkats, you eating 2 duphaston tablets a day or 3 a day? If u keep spotting, u can increase to 3 a day. That is what 24hr clinic doc told me. It will help stop/prevent the spotting/bleeding.
 
I feel very bloated and burp a lot after every meal nowadays. MS wise, I don't know how to describe it. At times, I feel 反胃 but not to the extent of vomiting. My biggest symptom should be not able to sleep at night. I will lie on my bed tossing around, getting up for toilet breaks and then when the clock strikes 6 am, I will fall asleep and automatically wake up at 10 am. In the day, I also can't sleep even when I feel tired/sleepy.

So far I don't have any craving. I see so many of you post that you have craving for tom yam, so I went to eat Tom Yam You Mian but I couldn't finish. So far I still eat mostly Chinese food.
 
Faithfully, I tik it's vy individual.. last year during my bfp I m aso like u always can't slp.. this time I can nap abit during daytime n goes to bed ard 11pm+..but without fail I will auto wakes up ard 5 plus in morning to go toilet n took half hr back to slp again...
As for food, all along I m a spicy food person so no special craving for it now or any hate food yet.. trying hard to curb eating extra or gives in to unnecessary cravings at night... ☺

Ya I m already on duphaston 3 times a day but still spot... :confused:
 
What a day for me. I was thinking of going back to work today althought I am on HL but midnight till morning my abdominal was in deep pain until I can't get up. I was so worried as the feeling is like AF cramp. Now at least I am much better already. Don't know is it beanie don't allow me to go to work and is butterflies in the stomach or what. Counting down everyday hoping to 2nd trimester soon... jia you all the sisters. Let's go through this together.

Kitkats, don't worry. I read that it could be common for some to spot. Don't think so much. Just rest more! I am sure your beanie is doing good good! Possibly burrowing deep deep and growing big big, that is why got spotting.

Mine is usually a sudden bleeding. And it gets worse and more each time. But as long as beanie is fine, nothing else matters.

Beanie wants to rest. Don't think so much. I am also in same same case.

Thought of letting my boss know that I might go back earlier if everything ok. Then all the bleeding came. So got to keep quiet again. Hahaha!
 
gd morning ladies, today monday bluezzzzzz....in office staring pc. just finish my morning work load and now i am in this forum typing a msg to you all :) had kfc porridge this morning, ate yogurt too. i think symptoms really vary from person to person. i see my own body i really cannot see much diff but my hubbs say got. dont know he trying to make me feel better or what.

lynncandy, since you still got hl just make use of it. let your beanie stablise more 1st. dont go against it.

kitkats hope you and circlecirle spotting will end soon and before you know it you gals will be enjoying 2nd trimester soon...i believe we will all enjoy the 2nd trimester more.

hehe faithfullyours i think my spicy craving is not beanies, i am a spice lover all these while so maybe its just myself trying to eat back these stuff..everyday soupy fish slice soup also abit boring. want some strong flavour in the menu....

zaan, tomorrow is your bt already just relax you have come so far. all the best, hope to see you in this thread soon.
 
Kitkats and circle, you should be fine. Just need to rest more and keep resting. As mentioned by Dr S before, if spotting just continue to eat duphaston 3 times a day. If is bleeding go to o&g for another jab.
Iwantahealthybaby, Monday is indeed very blue. Haha you should think what to eat later then will not be blue. I am planning to eat mee pok dry hehe.
Zaan, 11 apr is just a few days time. Soon soon. .
Ok time to get back on my laptop and do some work.
 
Hang in there ZAAN! Don't worry too much. Maybe the spotting will stop. I also spotted on 11dp2dt so quite close to what you are experiencing.

After bfp, still got long road to first trimester. Must have the perseverance and positive attitude of a marathon runner, we are in for the long route.

Hi Lynncandy, so if there is very slight brown tinge discharge, we can adjust the dosage of duphaston to 3 times a day? no need to see doc first? I am into my week 5, and there is a little brown when I wipe, is there anything I should be concern about?

Did any of you ladies share the same situation as me around week 5?
 
Spotting is like a few drop of discharge red or brown. Bleeding is like a size of the pad. But if this is your first Brown or red and still contiune to see. Better to go o&g kkh if you are with kkh. The topic we talk about is after we have got our jab already.
Milky discharge for pregnancy is normal but not red or brown.

im back from lunch. eat roast duck rice. cannot finish the rice cause not much gravy very dry. ask the aunti put more gravy but still didn manage to soak the rice with all the sauce. lol. not satisfy lunch. mmmm. munching on gummy sweets now.

yeah circle marathon runner, my 1st ever marathon race....i wana enjoy this moments so much but so many uncertainities, just got to keep telling myself dont scare myself so much. i tell my hubbs twinnies is very gd to mummy no symptoms no tiredness no cramp given to me...and hubbs reply twinnies are gd children not like the mummy so naughty and wild. hahaha.

lynncandy yesterday hubbs also say my stomach bigger liao but i think cause i ate alot yesterday. hahaha. i think i am going to start buying some bra without wire soon. saw in uniqlo i think not very ex too. probably will get from there.

my clothes still can wear, ever since my "food posioning" that sun i lost weight and so far havent gain back as much. so end up my bottoms now all can wear again. maybe low waist lol. anyway my bottoms are always a size bigger so can still tahan some time i guess. but i started to stock up some dress in bigger size so that can wear when i wake up to a rounder stomach as days goes by.
 
zaan dont give up. this is your 1st ivf right? alot of us dont succeed in 1st try too. your time will come. when its the right time, you will be rewarded :) dont give up.
 
I heard before raw salad cooling also. And I think most important is don't know outside they got wash properly the veg anot so in case not clean. But actually I eat mos natsumi fish burger also a lot lettuce I also just eat. But not regular.

I had same problem as u in wk 5. Went to doctor to check and asked to increase duphaston to 3x. I suggest u go to doctor to check too, safer.

Kitkat and circle, hope ur spotting can go away soon. Heard some women have it throughout, just try not to move too excessively, wishing both of u a healthy pregnancy.

ZAAN, don't give up. The nurses at KKH told me most women try 2-3 times. U will succeed as long as u continue to try!
 
oic, so salad is cooling. Today I am back to work although on HL but it is like Tuesday blues.. Haha.. Btw yesterday I notice that the short I am wearing at home is a bit tight. Oh man, think I got to go and buy some shorts bigger in size. Beanie is growing bigger and bigger everyday.
 
how is 1st day back at work? busy? my morning is slow. crawling by slowly....i meeting my friend lunch later and she suggested dian xiao er, but i think all their duck i cannot eat. cause 1 is ginseng, 1 is shi quan and the last is dang gui marinated. i think all 3 types marination doesnt suit preggy right? but my friend doesnt know i am preg so cannot be i dont touch the duck also cause i used to love it sooo much. :( if suggest sakae sushi i also cannot eat those raw stuff which i used to love too so friend sure feel weird. :( so many food cannot eat....

today tue, its been a week since my last visit to kkh, i feel like fixing a gynae aptm at a random clinic today to have scan. my last week has been a busy week. didn get to rest much as been running up and downs due to some family commitment. body didn got time to really rest so doesnt know how is beanies doing. abit worried. anyway i think regular stomach scan shouldn do any harm right as compare to vaginal scan.
 
Haha once I reach office, I stay in my workstation don't dare to move around. Everyone is asking me why I never turn up for work, I just tell people that my backache and cannot walk for long distance.
Diao Xiao er is nice.. yummy.. but you must see the ingredients in the dishes before you order. Those 3 Chinese herbs I think not suitable to eat during pregnancy. Actually they got many other nice dishes which you can order but I scare got dang gui. Sakae sushi you can order the hot soup with udon then put chili powder, actually they got a lot of things to choose from, just don't eat those raw will do. If your friend ask, just say you are recovering from food poisoning which is what happen to you last week.
You might want to try Thomson Women's Clinic one of the branches as their rates are pretty reasonable and cheaper than kkh for your scan. I am seeing beanie this Friday for tummy scan at Dr S room no need to go amc anymore. Hope beanie is fine as beanie has no symptoms at all, very quiet which makes us worry sometimes.
No more salad for me.... What shall I eat for lunch later haha.. hmm....

Hello everyone, how are you today?
 
Did my scan this morning and was attended by another lady doc at clinic d after that. Good news was the blast successfully implanted and have bb and growing well. But bad news was the sac was implanted very low, near cervix opening. No method to push it up. So i will have to go back and scan 2 weeks later...
 
Meilingg, wow must be exciting to see beanie. manage to see 1 beanie or 2 beanies? no worries, just go back 2 more weeks to see how. Now most important is stay healthy and happy. So far do you encounter any ms?
