Joanne:
thought it's quite natural to feel a bit backache and sleepy when preg. It's normal, isn't it? Symptoms of pregnancy. I remember XiaoS says she very sleepy all the time when she preg. keke. U go and koon lah. Wake up, will feel better! I continue to nuar around in the house. Later tonight I going to KK to visit. Again, someone has given birth. Yah, the whole world like so easy to pop, pop, pop! Except me lah..~sigh.

Hi haze,
Paisey din log in last night went movie.
I found all 3 flavours in CCK polyclinic.
But i just grab the remaining 5 pkts of choco plus 2 vanilla.
Buy in 1 box got cheaper?
Hi Strawbearbi,
Yeah, prefer Complan than Ensure, more tastier.
I even look forward to drinking it
I mixed w hot water.

Rinoa:
Haze and I went to hunt. We only found NTUC Thomson (that day we went yumcha together) selling the Complan in box. But they only had vanilla and strawberry flavours. One box of 15 sachets. Couldn't find the 1 box with 30 sachets that Strawbearbi mentioned. Anyway, it works out to be about $2.23 or something per sachet. Not a lot of diff but it saves the trouble to keep buying.. Anyway, Lot1 NTUC is selling sachet by sachet. It's so near your place. Can go and get there if you want some more.

Hi Ah-Kat,
Easy to put on weight means ur Free T4 will b @ high borderline n TSH is @ the lower borderline = hypothyroid issit ?
For me, its easy to lose weight, coz i'm the hyper type.
Too late to order for that anti-bodies test since i just got reviewed yesterday. Next review will b 3 mths' time
Meantime, can only hope after increasing my medication dosage, my thyroid hormones dun affect my ET next week.

Hi Joanne,
So far no cramps (touch wood!) since BFP. My due date is 20 Aug, Dr Loh say hopefully by N-day will be out.
Rinoa,
For the complan/ensure, try not to mix with hot water, coz may destroy the nutrients.

Hi Ah-Kat,
U been to Master Dong before? I just asked my best friend to go with me, she said she just changed job and cannot take leave for the 1st 6mths. Sigh... I guess I just go alone as HB also busy with work and cannot go.
Hopefully by March, I have already strike jackpot with my FET cycle and I just go and ask Master Dong how many children I will have instead of will I have children anot! Ha..ha..

Hi Rinoa,
*touch* *touch*... thanks for helping me to asks.. ya... this 2 days felt better, not so much cramp... not sure is it because I try not to stress too much and had also been drinking chicken essence for these 2 days... as what you mention is quite true... early this week.. I very stress plus didn't drink chicken essence... and don't dare to touch any cold drink/thing since my IUI till now... hope and pray that my reading will be better tomorrow so that I can stay more relax thru my weekend..
Hi Strawberri,

ummmmmm regarding the boxed complan....
They sell them both at Parkway Parade NTUC and Bedok NTUC.... last time I saw.. I think I didnt see any choco flavor either....
Yve,
By the way, the log a while a go.. I was reading back, you mentioned that your tummy gets red sometimes after the injection... those are small air bubles... thats why it kind of gets itch after for a while.. but since the injection is not dont directly to the blood vessel... it just gives you an itch.. small air bubbles are no harm so.. not to worry...

Hi ladies,
May I ask what are the total charges you all pay for IVF? How much can we claim from Medisave?
If do IVF with private doctor (not with KK), can claim Medisave?
I'm asking in preparation just in case my SO-IUI fail for this cycle. Really keeping my finger crossed and hoping for the best!
Thanks in advanced!

Hi Blessing,
IVF at KKH is around $7-9K, whereas at private clinic IVF can range from $13k to $15k and much higher for very famous gynae.
At both Govt and private, a couple can utilize their Medisave for 3 times only, the medisave used is at $6k, $5k and $4k respectively (total $15k).
At the Govt hosp, there is an additional $3k Govt Co-funding grant.
So if you do IVF at KKH/SGH/NUH, the cash upfront is only around $1-2k, after minus the $ medisave and $3k Govt grant.
For private clinic, the cash upfront is around $8-10k, as can only minus $ medisave.
Good luck!!!

Hi Sue,
Hmm, maybe u want to make an appointment with Dr Wong after your Jan menses come to get him to prescribe medication for your Feb menses to start on time?
Usually the gynae will prescribe progesterone tabs. If the gynae wants to give u BCP, remember to tell him you are on a short IVF protocol and don't want to eat BCP ok?

Hi Joyy,
Yah, me super-duper disappointed for you. Haiz..... Why is it so difficult for us PCOS ladies to get pregnant har? Hmm... no, I should put it this way, there are 2 types of PCOS ladies. 1 type is get serious OHSS but strike 1st time, the 2nd type is get serious OHSS but never strike. Sianz to the max!!!!!
Yah, when I tested myself negative, I also drink many cups of thick and sugary tea. I wanted to drink more than that (u ladies know what I mean!!!) but stopped myself as going for FET soon. I also ate ice-cream and drink super-cold drinks and eat potato chips! Shiok man!
Luckily both you and me have our pet to 'sayang' us when we are down. Ok, do let it all out if you can. Crying is theraptic ok?
We both Jia U together!
