baby sparkles,
u seeing her and plus u gg for ivf ?
 


Ladies my hubby saw the surprise already. No man! Hahah he wasn't as touched as we were. He didn't know what's inside the box but he kinda guessed in preggie. He was just laughing very happily when he saw the card and the booties. Cox it's his advanced bday present. The day I said I didn't want to eat crabs he already think I'm probably preggie. So he said this gift is just to confirm his guess. Then he very hao Liao say ya one time enough already no need to do so many times. So told him abt the meds I'm taking and possibly of cleft lips then he says don't take. I told him I'll go back to scan on Monday and ask if we can stop taking.

Hahah other than that no tearing or crying but just very happy. So ya I'm a little disappointed! Lol

oh oh.. wat med u taking about the cleft lips thingy??
 
And gals, just back from my Gynae visit (2nd visit)

Gest sac has grow as compared to last week scan and can hear heartbeat. Thou I wished gynae wld let me hear a bit longer.. very amazing thing (and somewhat touching coz initially I tot cannot detect HB..)

Gynae purposely on his machine to super loud mode and can sorta hear the "boom boom boom" amidst the muffle noise...

I wanted to know the hb rate and he said about 108bpm and I now back to gan cheiong paranoia zone coz I googled (before today's visit) that hb ideally is 120bpm for 6 weeks plus wor... and apparently 108 like slow leh... worry worry worry... :(

last week the Gest age showed 5 weeks 4 days but today Gest age only 6 weeks 2 days... I wonder why like that.. and of course Edd date changed to a later date. Still in Nov though...

Next visit in 2 weeks time...

till then, think am goin to be stuck in paranoia zone

Eh 2 tablets is really a lot leh.... 5 mg is already quite a lot.

BTW for multi vitamins u can consider obimin also... routinely given by the gynae. not tt expensive.. think it's like 9 dollars a bottle or sth.

My fren also told me she takes obimin while TTC.. But I wanna ask is obimin only for preggy ladies ? I rem I take that when I'm preggy with #1, but not sure can take when TTC?

Acty it's ok to take it when u ttc. And apparently what I understand is some gynaes prescribe tt together with folic acid in the first trimester.

My hb got obimin for mee too but I haven't eaten tt cos currently I am already popping so many pills.. my vit c, fish oil , folic acid, coq10 and metformin

That's quite a lot, isn't it? Maybe fish oil u take alt day? Daily intake of folic acid is good during ttc though...
 
Btw I also remember tt obimin has very similar stuff as conceive well loke folic acid iron calcium .. Tho CW has more fancy stuff like selenium. . Fish oil and so on.

wat cleft lips??? u mean take med will hav cleft lips??
 
Haha n think u all ignore me. Cox my condition is different I need to take steroids which is a no no in pregnancy but bcoz of my history I need to take a certain form at a lower dosage. But the chances of happening is rare. So see how later. Ya cox the more I talk abt this I feel more gan chiong. So I will not reply on this anymore. Lol

Sloshy no need to worry. Once hb detected it's usually okay. Cox now u still early stages mah. I heard before only 80bpm but still deliver a baby. So u are safe.

Ya lah. He is grinning from ear to ear. I'm the queen now! Lol

My gynae didn't want me to take Obimin during the first trim. he said all these multi vits can wait till 1st trim is over. I think diff gynae do things differently. He just want me to cont with my folic acid and his progesterone

Your gyne told u not to bd at the moment?
If can't bd yet, can always cuddle and smoochie smooch!:)
Once pregnancy stable , should be able to bd.. Unless gyne says to stop due to pregnancy conditions.. :)
For me, my first pregnancy was pretty smooth sailing, so gyne said no prob to bd and we jus bd as per normal all the way till delivery .. Just need to adjust the positions as tummy gets bigger:)
So you can still Cuddle to sleep every night! :)

Some preggy ladies get hungry easily, you are blessed that you have good appetite in your first trimester:) I was so nauseous that I have no appetite for food and have vomiting too.. Lost 3 kg during first trimester.. Hahah.. Gyne said is normal .. But comes 2nd trimester , my nauseous feeling was gone and no more vomiting .. Eat like I've never eaten before .. Eat all the way till third trimester .. So much so that gyne had to ask me to cut down eating too much else my baby will be too big to be delivered by natural birth.. Hahah., so I tahan and eat moderately and healthily .. So baby in the end was at a pretty good weight for normal delivery .. About 3.3kg:)

Hello ladies!! March seems to be a really GOOD and HAPPY month! Anyway for me, first trimester only folic acid. 2nd trimester, Gynae prescribe calcium, iron & DHA. Nothing else.

Emily, how was your visit to TSB?:)
Click to expand...
here's my update to TSB visit...
appt time 4pm
duration i was there: 3.55pm to 6pm (2hr 5min)
consultation duration: 15- 20mins

went in greet her, told her i m 1st time here many questions to ask...
she feel my pulse, brought out her temp sheet for my record

she did not ask abt my history.

showed him my whole report, all e ultrasound scan (i did tt to check my womb and cysts etc), but she didn't even take a look. so sad and disappointed :(:(
she did asked many questions like do i have cramps, backache, headaches many many basic questions... and also asked abt my menses period over the last few mths.
I am those very paranoid person, worry this worry that. alot of questions i oso din get e chance to ask her. showed her my BBT, she glance a bit then ask me trf my temp to her temp sheet.

i guessed some dr jus don like to see other tcm stuffs. would rather i trf all e temp to her sheet n she advise me.

i oso asked her, "did i O?" she replied, "erhmm like nv O. ... oh maybe this part here O. " aft tt i asked abt my pulse, is it weak or wat etc, no answer given , and she said she don tell her patient abt their pulse weak or strong or wat... i wanna ask her if she can feel any preggie pulse???? but din dare to ask cos she shoot me with this, "u wanna go and learn tcm?" i was stunned!!!

my impression towards her is: ok she smile smile a lot, but a bit ya ya papaya. of cos she will cos she has helped so many ppl preggie, sure a bit yaya. but afterall this is my 1st visit , shld let me feel good n comfortable ma. so sad sob sob i wanna cry!!!! i asked her can i drink raspberry leaf tea, she said no. don drink anything except wat she give me. and she din even ask if i am taking any supplement which i did. i am taking folic acid and cod fish liver oil. she din ask at all. the packet of medicine she gave me oso have raspberries inside. the whole raspberries, dried ones.

i spent $90 today. i think i will wait till 1 more week which is my DPO14 then i will start her medicine. meanwhile i have no confident in her due to e experience. i feel my TCM more friendly and willing to answer all my questions despite sometimes my TCM cannot answer some of my query maybe bcos my pulse too complicated or my bbt a bit messy. but afterall, my tcm still give me a very comfortable feeling. oso bcos i have seen her for 2 yrs already. 1 yr is before i wanna ttc i wanna tiao my health.

i really dono wat to do. jus feel like crying... and i feel very emo recently. mayb cos my breast oso pain, backache, crampy, fatique which made me very emo n sian.
 
sorry for ranting and complaining so much! i hope i don offend anyone here who likes TSB. cos i dono wat shld i do now. i m really lost! and from wat she said, i seems like will need to wait for AF to come... bcos she said AF come don eat her med

Emily, very detailed review. this is only ur first visit with her. Maybe u shld try a few rounds than decide if u wanna continue. My first visit with her oso like urs. But look in another way, she has so much patients. U waited 2hrs to see her. If she spend alot time with every patient then u will wait even longer. Also it gd if she nvr tell u much. Coz if she tell u u got weak pulse very hard to conceive etc u even stress n sad. Tink the medi will speak for itself if it really help u. U will know when the time comes. No point answer all ur qns very friendly to u then the medi dun work. Just my thoughts. Hope u feel better. Maybe u too stressed up. Take it easy k. :)

thanks twinkletot... i think speaking to patient 15mins is still ok lei. moreover this is 1st visit, she oso need to drop dwn my details etc, so i think 15 mins is ok. subsequently will be 7-10mins oso ok ma. cannot be only seeing u 5mins. :)

i am very depressed. i am very afraid of taking medicines cos TWICE i was nearly killed with western and traditional medicine till i scared!!! actually not twice. every time i took those western or chinese medicine, those tablet ones i got choke! very bad. got 1 time choke till i tot i m dying. cannot breathe cos choke e tubes block... so scary. so now i see doc i ask for syrup med like cough mixture those type i can take. fever med i will drink children one, fluid one, but of cos higher dosage. and i am skinny n very under weight, i very easily overdose by adults medicine. really traumatized of what i encountered. haiz sobb sob. am very depressed now. every new type of medicine is a tough encounter i have to overcome. even my tcm med everytime i take i oso super scared. supplements i take i oso super scared. i scared of e side effect and jus die alone at home nobody saves me. cos TWICE like tt liao. but so thank god tat there's alwys ppl ard when tt happens. i think it is fated.

Emily: It's unfortunate u had a bad experience w her. She can be quite direct n straightforward and maybe a little cranky when she's busy
I also asked her last year if I should continue taking tcm when I was abt to start ivf she said if I dun wan I can don't take n she won't prescribe - the indifferent attitude
But in good days she can really chat... Maybe she's really busy today... She can be quite yaya n haolian cos she only trusts her own med n bfp naturally .. Esp when two celebrities bfp under her

I think she is the kind who likes pple to chat w her but I'm not... I just wan her med n tiao my body only dats all... N admire all the bb photos there

Hope u don't give up on her n urself.. Take tcm to continue to bu ur body .. She always believes pcos pole can ovulate n strike naturally. So we will ok?
Click to expand...
yup she oso said i might hav pcos. i couldn't do e ultrasound to cfm if i have or don hav pcos bcos my AF is not here still. last Af was early jan. i have very long cycle since ttc. and wanted to scan for my previous previous which is last yr AF period but could't get to my gynae clinic cos nv open. so when clinic opens, my af going to finish so no point scan.
