- Thread starter xinyu

Thanks Claris and min81! Yes trying to be happy and my husband keep saying my test strip expired so not accurate. Haha.. But I can feel my pms is disappearing so yup.. My most hated best friend should be on the way..
Min81: how you doing so far? Feeling good?
Claris: so, when you going for your scan to set the date for iui? Hope you have many follicles n growing big!

saralyn, scanning will be on next mon CD12. so IUI should be someday around next week too.. hope at least got 2-3 follicles like what my tcm sinseh said.
now guai guai eating e supplements, ensure milk, egg whites, chicken essence, red dates longan, ginger black sugar, red bean soup, and going for acupuncture. hehe
just to share some info to those who dont know, red bean soup can help increase e lining.

Claris: Ooo so you are still early in your cycle. I thought you are cd 10+ already coz you mentioned you started to jab since last week.. So you did not take clomid? All is jab for this iui?
Is it true abt red bean soup!?! I feel my lining was very thin for this iui.. It did not grown since cd 10.. Ok ok.. My next try *touch wood!! Hopefully I don't have to* I will eat that!!!!

Losing hope cos don't feel any special symptoms. keke... And big fat acne on chin (my usual AF symptom).
Saralyn,
I think I'll try another round of IUI if failed this round. Then will see what doc suggest.
Btw, you taking any duphaston?
Claris,
Thanks for the info. Later I go cook red bead soup. keke...

saralyn, today CD6 only. i started e jab CD2. im not on clomid, now my lining became very thin after clomid. before clomid i used to have triple layer which is e best for implantation. hope puregon can increase my lining this round.
IVF ladies recommend red bean soup. i shall ask my tcm what other food can help lining tmr when going for acupuncture.

Hi dragonchew, saralyn, shirley,
Please don't think so much k.. I know the 2ww is tough and we tend to be oversensitive to anything our body feels.. Just to share, I did not feel anything much before I tested positive on 20dpIUI.. No implantation bleeding or spotting.. Only sore boobs, mild menstrual-like cramps very occasionally, oh and I had pimple breakout too.. All feels like PMS symptoms right.. So don't feel discouraged k
Babydust to all of you!!

Dragon: I'm not taking any thing after my iui.. Doc did not prescribed me anything.. I just left the clinic n they all wished me good luck. The nurse only told me once I tested positive I must go down n take medicine to support the pregnancy..
Am thinking of trying but should I do it immediately or should I wait for one cycle then go try iui?
Claris: is it true that your lining is thin and you period is lighter? I am suspecting clomid is making my lining thin too coz my period was quite light for the last 2 cycles.. So far I only took 4 cycle of clomid and not all 4 are continuous cycle..

min81, i drink red date longan and ginger black sugar every alternate day to avoid heatyness. as im still eating other 'bu' stuff like chicken essence, DOM, conceive well, nuts and seeds. apart from e proper meal, really too much things for us to eat. 
i normally cook fresh one as what my mum always do. she cook everyday didnt store in fridge..
saralyn, e main side effects from clomid is thin e lining which is not favourable for implantation. minor one is headache, heaty. yes the period will become lighter result from e thin lining. its not advisable to take more than 3 cycles continuously. my gynae actually wan to put me on clomid again, i refused and wanted to start puregon as puregon can stimulate ovulation and increase e lining at e same time. i felt sad after taking clomid it make my lining become thinner and thinner as my 1st cycle clomid used to have perfect lining..
now hoping puregon works well..

Claris: think I better stop clomid too.. Sigh.. My period last time was quite heavy coz I got endo.. But recently it bcame so light that I tot what happened. Can't be my endo is gone right..
Tulipcinta: welcome! I am 13dpiui today too.. Tested on 11dpiui and was -ve too.. Sigh.. Very disappointed at that time..

Claris: the gynea is giving me clomid from cd2-6. Then gonal f from cd 7. Will go down every 2-3 days to check on the follicle size and he will decide do I still need jab..
Ya.. Endo will have a little thicker lining n thus, heavier period. My period used to be 7 days and very heavy flow from day 1 - 4... Now I will only have heavy flow on day 2 then spotting.. Even my day 2 also not so heavy..

Hi Claris,
I not working at the moment. Thinking if this cycle failed, will look for job. But thinking of going 2nd round. haha... Don't what I want to do too.
Hi Min81,
Thanks for your kind words.
Before you tested positive, you got any discharge? These few days I got yellow discharge. So scared to see brown after this.
Hi Saralyn,
If (*touch wood) really negative, think should go seek for doc advice. See if you want take a break and rest one cycle before venturing IUI. Seems like I'm not answering your question. keke... Sorry. Actually, really depends. Maybe can go try IUI next. Depends on when you comfortable. I asked my hb if failed how. He said go IUI again.
I too got endo but menses not heavy too. My gynae said, it's better not to be heavy. I don't dare take red dates cos some people said people with endo should not take red dates. Not sure how true. But I taking chicken essence on alt days.

Hi dian_tang,
For the ensure milk, I never follow. Cos the amount of water seems very little. keke... So, I just scoop according to my preference. The tin said, once open, must drink within 1 mth or something. I never follow too. I only drink once a while. Very wasteful of me.

Dragon: when I go see my gynea that time he asked me issit heavy period.. He said people with endo tends to have heavier period coz too thick lining.. Hm.......
Ya.. Your gynea is right. Is not good to have heavy menses...
Is it true abt red date? Oh no.. I have been drinking red date drinks or soup very often. I only know we can't take soya and cut down on sugar stuffs.. FYI, I did not take any soya milk or beancurd since my ops last year mar.. I don't want to go through it again so trying to do prevention by watching my diet.
I wanted to ask my gynea when I did iui. He seems so positive abt my case.. N keep smiling and ask me to rest.. Din talk to me abt my next plan in the event that it isn't successful.. Sigh..
I guess I will stop for one cycle.. I need to travel quite alot in the coming month coz I have been in SG for 4 weeks already!!

I not sure about the red dates too. But I don't dare to anyhow take after reading from web. And some TCM stuffs.
For soya, I try to avoid too. But still at times, I gave in. Cos a few things I really love to eat. A torture. haha...
Let's me positive. Who knows, this cycle we really strike liao?
Oh, you need to travel for your job?

Hi claris,
Thanks for the info
Now currently on leave for a couple of mths, so can cook fresh pot every alternate day.. but when I go back to work, think gotta keep in fridge and heat up when I wanna drink.. I normally reach my wkplace at abt 6.30am, already struggling to get up at 5 plus to get ready.. haha..
Hi dragon chew,

Hi Saralyn,

saralyn, seems like ur gynae doing more conservative approach..
dian tang, i take 3 scoops only. 6 scoops will be more tasty but if 6 scoops everyday very fast will be gone. heavy investment..
dragon chew, next week onwards im jobless too. try few cycles, if failed then find job..
min81, maybe can try using slow cooker, no need monitor e fire, easy and save time.
u start work really early! ><

Dragon chew: I even went to the extend of not eating tofu... Even my husband will stop me if he see my food has tofu he will take it away. Ooo, my gynea also told me no Chinese herbal soup.. He said one herbs but I don't remember. My mum always boil that for me after my period stop flowing..
Ya, my job requires me to fly often.. Staying in SG will get more "shit" to do so sometime fly out of SG is better.
stressful and tired but at least I know this week I am only doing this list of tasks..
Min81: yup. I should be expecting it in mid week.. Ya. My husband already said no travel at all if I am pregnant! Even no travel for holiday!!!!
Tulipcinta: nope I wasn't on any.. Can't help you on that..
Claris: ya! Being woman is so troublesome right. Worry period will come or not.. If come is it heavy or light.. So many things to worry about every month!

Peggy: I assume your eggs have grown to the right size?? Good!! All the best to your IUI. Ya.. When will you be doing? I feel travelling is OK.. Just dont over tired yourself. rest more.
Claris: Ok Ok.. I tot of quiting my job.. But can't bare to leave my company.. I like my colleagues and boss.. Don't think I can find another company like that when I quit my current one..
min81: Haha.. What tests did you do?

Saralyn,
Actually I did the normal tests which I think all of you did too.. I didn't even know abt all these till I saw Prof Wong in dec.. my previous gynae just takes the blood tests as and when I was there for check up, didn't follow the usual procedure like blood test on day 2 and day 22 of cycle, didn't check for follicle size ard ovulation also.. That's why Prof Wong couldn't use the results from my previous gynae.. My previous gynae told me I had hormonal imbalance from her tests and actually gave me clomid for 12 cycles.. I didn't know abt the side effects until I started reading forums after my IUI.. Fortunately, there didn't seem to be any changes to my menses..

Claris, yes, Im flying to nearby country only. Just for 3 nights.
Saralyn, I dont know whether the egg is of the right size cos my scan is scheduled tomorrow. Also dont know when is the IUI. But this morning, my BBT dropped like crazy whick looks like an ovulation. Hopefully we dont miss this cycle.

Saralyn, didnt use OPK wor......
I tot this cycle will do IUI, so no need OPK.
Peggy: Hm.. then your past ovulation also around the same time? If you really think this dip is your ovulation, maybe you don't want to miss this chance. is just my opinion.. I read before the egg is only available for 24 hours after they are released..
Ladies,
Do you all mind sharing the cost of your IUI?
I went back to submit all the claims for my this IUI and I spent alot.. 1.7K.. 800 just for my gynea for that few minutes....

Saralyn, my gynae said no more bd after sunday in preparation for IUI. Hence, cannot bd tonight wor...
Btw, $800!!! You mean he charged $800? It tot he said about $500 only?

Peggy: Yes.. I remember my bill for that visit and the previous one (the nurse was too busy to charge me and told me she would charge me when I came back 2 days later for IUI) was 980++. Closed to 1K.. I told my husband.. WOAH.. just for that few minutes and we have to pay 800!! So, I'm wondering what is the "market" rate.
