u same generation as me. I also remember my parents bringing me to Thomson Plaza for ice-cream when I was young. Why ah? Was the ice-cream there exceptionally good? Anyway, Thomson Plaza is no longer the same as before. I think I know which is the restaurant Bambi made reservations. Passed by. The outside looks quite impressive. Never ate there before. When I go there, it's for work and I only drink kopi and eat roti at Yat-Kun. Hahaha.
Rinoa:
u try to call lah. Hope it's not Liying who picks up. She's the strict one. Bambi, Haze and I have tried it before. Maybe you can say Bambi intro you 'cos she intro a number of us. They must give her face.

'Cos so thin lor.. not the thick type.
Bambi:

Haze,
even when Dr Zou take my pulse & speak to me, I'm always very wary of ears beyond the wall Especially when we talk about AF, EWCM, and you see a man's shoe parking under the bed, it's very uncomfortable lor.
Yve
before me was a husband & wife couple, after me was a lady, then a 1st timer - maybe Dolphy.
Dr Zou took quite a long time to speak to the 1st timer, then evacuated me to give her my bed.
Dolphy, by the time Dr Zou acu on you, it was already 8:40pm ?

Yve,
at Lot1 where NTUC used to be located, they have set up KFC, a Chinese restaurant etc. In the middle, there is a cluster of small small stalls taken up by MOS burger, a donut stall, a gelato stall etc. Then there is a stall selling almond soup, peanut soup, sesame soup, yam cake and that same stall also sells durian/longan/whatever favored crushed ice-cream folded beautifully in the cup.
Nothing special about the food lah, just that each of us can buy whatever we like, then gather around for chit chat lor 8

yes, I finished liao & waited for some time on the bed then Dr Zou came to unpluck the needles for me. She explained that new patient needs more time for consultation...
Hahaha, at next consultation you hold Dr Zou's hand & let her listen to you for a longer time lah 8 Maybe because last time I didn't see, didn't speak to anyone there, I just ask Dr Zou lots of stupid questions lor, 38 thing also ask. Then now with you & Haze around, and I'm wondering if there's Dr Zou's patients who are also silent readers here recognising us 3 swords women, I dunno how, talk or not talk 8
Aiyah, will shower then to bed liao... nite nite 8

Hi Yve,
Me going to Mt E to donate blood for my pregnancy blood test then I just go to Thomsom Plaza. Oh, so just exit Lornie PIE and go straight all the way and will reach Thomsom Plaza? Sounds easy, on lah! Meet u ladies at 10am sharp? We eat and talk until 11.40am, then u 4 ladies go accu. Good... then I go home to wait for the call from my gynae.
I already told my HB to rush home from work (he works half-day sat) so that he can be around when the call comes and HE will listen to the answer. I don't want to talk to my gynae.

Hi Purplelace...
IUI shd be done at ur gynae's clinic.. it's a very simple procedure, like PAPSmear. Shdn't feel any pain at all.
Ur gynae wil scan n estimate ur O date, then u wil be ask to do HCG jab abt 36 hrs b4 ur procedure.
Ur DH wil be ask to produce a sample on the day itself, lab wil hv it 'washed' n then ur gynae wil insert it into u (ur bladder has to be full) to giv ur DH army extra help that way.
But u hv to make sure ur lining is right n also ur tubes r not blocked. Do note success rate is relatively low but lucky ones do strike with IUI.
There's natural IUI, medicated IUI & SO-IUI which is with jabs or a combi of med n jab.
Most gynaes will suggest IUI 1st. Cos it's less invasive, n less straining financially n emotionally than IVF.
Good luck to u!

Hi Strawbearbi,
Me stay in Jurong West, near Ah-Kat leh, it is just that I am going to Mt E on Sat so I join them for dim-sum so as to take my mind off the blood test result.
Even though I knew no chance liao but deep in my heart, I still have a small ray of hope. I think that is what my HB is feeling also, thus the BT will be the best as no ambiguity.
U said before that you tested on D12pt and the positive line quite faint is it?

strawbeabi,
no lah... the cost will be the same only the timing is different as I choose 5pm due to I have no bosses so decided to see him at 5pm.. and that he will not see the patient 5pm sharp. so frm my place to kkh take cab only 15mins if no jam, and the fees is $97only, i think is additional of $10 different. I will still take BCP pills if my AF comes on time...
Cause yesterday nurse sarah chan called me and told me that if i want to change to dr sf loh, better to book him now cause after cny he will be busy, patient starts to see him after cny...

i still can see dr sf loh in the morning session in clinic D or evening time at pte suite... if chose pte suite pay $10 extra only... so at these moment just see him at pte suite.. i think will only see him for 3 times like that.. thats what nurse sara told me...
i have to arrange this matter due to my work matter...
*haiz* rather scarifies abit rather than to lose my job... then i will leave with little $$$

Ruru,
Don't say u no chance lah. It's still early to say. Somemore u testing on D10, maybe HCG levels not so high also.
I tested on D12 on HPT. It's the +/- kind from clearblue. Initially when I pee on it, the "-" line immediately appear, i tot no hope liao. After that a few mins later the vertical line appears but faint. So i took a pic with my mobile & sent to my sis to ask her like dat consider + or -. She told me as long as + means + liao, faint or not.
Ju,
Wah pte suite only cost $10 more for consultation ah? That's not unreasonable leh. Good for u!!
