Ling : okie!
Ceraine : Good luck and all the best!
JYJY!!!!
Joanne : Hows the review? Re the IVF tests and waiting time really depends on the clinic which you are doing with... you may want to call up the clinic which you have in mind to check it out, as different clinics have different criteria...
Calzz : heehee... icic.... JYJY!!!!
All the bes t for your ER & ET. You can also try to take cranberry juice... I usually alt between the 3 throughout the day. So not so sick of things. Even after ER must continue to load on the proteins as sometimes, bloatedness may kick in only after the ER.
Pin : You mean u want to appt with Dr F too? If so must book early for 1st appt. I had to wait for 2 weeks before I can see him... made appt on the 1/10 and only saw him yesterday....

yooooooooo i am back home. but before you girls get so jealous, i must clarify, i am sitting here with a hugeeee pile of marking. think it's work all the way till sleepytimes tonight.
wish, glad you have calmed down a bit le. the girls are right, take it as precious time for you to enable your body to reach tiptop condition before ttc again. having optimal body health also means less likelihood of needing to resort to measures like iui, soiui or ivf ma. so don't worry k. everything will be fine.
paiseh again for my very limited knowledge, i know now protein eases bloatedness, but can someone just tell me if bloatedness actually affects effectiveness of ER/ET? this one just out of my own curiosity. thanks ah!!!
how's the lunch menu for u girls today? my canteen was selling assam fish, i had one plate.. SHIOK. in the end so yummy i bought a second plate. now too full liao, feel like sleeping!

Joanne: For me, I could start with Dr F straightaway, didn't need any extra check-ups. He did a blood test and v-scan on day 2 of my menses to confirm if that cycle is a good cycle to start - I think he check for no cysts, good hormone levels, enough antral follicles...I started jabs on that same day! Oh, and you and dh must also do a blood test to check for HIV, rubella...can't remember the rest...it's MOH requirement.
Dunno other clinics what their waiting time and requirements are...

hello galsssss...
wish, hope you are feeling better. i know it sucks big time that you gotta delay your TTC plans. but think of it positively, at least you find out now than finding it out in x months after you tried and tried but can't get that bfp. nurse your health well and you will soon be able to have your little bundle of joy. maybe you can try to google if there is any alternative remedies (the natural way) to reduce your prolactin? stay positive.
calzz, good for you! all the best for your ER and ET!
Joanne, at least your cyst is gone! that is a tiny miracle. i have a few cysts and the exact words my gynae describes my womb condition is that it is in a bad shape and lapro is the only way for me. don't even think about ttc before i do lapro. plus i got some issues with my lungs which resulted me going into A&E many times from July til Sep under critical condition (which means my life was endangered!).
so ladies, try not to indulge self pity so much. we should be more positive and stay hopeful. since my mc in last aug, i'm unable to TTC til next year 1st Qtr. that is 1.5 years of no TTC. although i desperately want to be preggie and be a mummy, i do think i want my health to be in tip top condition before i conceive as I don't want any illness to be passed to my baby during the pregnancy that may haunt him/ her for the rest of his/ her life.

Dolphy, I guess most of us here are too desperate for a baby as age is catching up. Time seems to pass so fast and a lot of things cannot be done and jus have to wait. In our mind is thinking how long is the waiting time. Nobody knows and tat add on to anxiety and create stress. Overall it is the stress. i need to know how to let go stress.
Joanne : its the usual test, hormones and all.. if you have been doing so-iui with Dr F, some of the test you may have already done.. so if you are thinking of switching, you may want to get your records from them and show ur new doc, so that you dun have to repeat the tests...
Pin : Yeap. His clinic in in Glen-E.
Pin : Yeap. His clinic in in Glen-E.
Pin: He's at Gleneagles Hospital, Annexe Block - his clinic is called O&G Partners, there are 2 other docs there.
Wish: ya the waiting is horrible...i find the best way to let go of my stress is encouragement...come in here to read about bfp stories, or tell myself good things will come to those who wait. i also try to get back a sense of control over the ttc journey, by doing things like making sure eat healthy diet, exercise, take supplements...at least i feel like i am doing something and not just wasting every month...just my two cents worth

tokkie: *wave back* hullo!! i see we might end up having the same doc again...keke...ya lor i was also thinking the same thing that we can be cycle buddies and bfp together! when u doing your actual FET? If next month review is good, I will start cycling end Nov/beginning Dec depending on AF.
good to see that you don't seem to be stressed with doc shopping! when i was trying to decide i was soooooo confused and miserable...
btw, can i check the tests you did at CARE, does it include the antibodies/immune factor type of test?

wish: actually i think u are very brave and strong, i always wonder if i went thru all the things you did, how would i react...i would probably have given up by now. u r much stronger than you imagine!
taking tcm and supplements is good already...need effort and time one to go see sinseh, drink the herbs and pills, etc...then i will "self-praise" myself for putting in all the efforts...haha...somehow that makes me feel more empowered...

tokkie: haha...doc shopping is jus so stressful to me...I am sure that you will make a good choice about which doc to go to! my friend was wondering about the antibodies/immune factor test, maybe I ask her consider going to CARE for testing.
Wish: well, regardless i still admire you for continuing to press on!

muffin: chances are of course much lower, but it's not 0% success rates, so definitely still possible...yaataa's case is a big encouragement! I bought CoQ10 in pharmacy...over the years my hubby did a few SA tests, got improvement after started taking supplements, TCM, exercising...

muffin: the pine tree bark sounds interesting! i didn't try but maybe will check it out, as I saw on the net it also helps with endo..coq10 i bought from guardian, blackmore's - different pricing for different dosage. can't really remember how much leh, i think the 50mg is $35+, 150mg is close to $70?? But I might be way off...dh also took multivits and fish oil, plus tcm and accu. also started eating more fruits, vege, exercise...dunno which ones really work but just whack lor!
ya ttc is such long hard journey with unexpected twist, sure will get lost sometimes..just try to keep faith in the path that we must walk on and one day will surely lead to a beautiful little rainbow!

Sticky/Joanne, I dun take immunocal leh... I started taking my protein shake abit late. Was relying on egg whites n soya all the while. Shd have taken it right fr the start of my jabs. I'm taking this protein shake fr herbalife, tropical fruit flavour. I mix with orange juice. It's quite yummy coz it doesnt taste like milk!
Ceraine, my ER at 9am. Dun need to stay over dear. I was told to reach at 8.30am.
