[jolene_ng]

Hi Good morning Ladies,

Sorry MIA for the whole week.

Hui,
About the acu, will your blue black goes away and is your hot plate very hot and can you tolerate? For me, my pain threshold is good but just dun like to leave blisters. Really dun know whether to continue acu, but knew it can enhance success rate. Can i have the address of your acu and how much? Thanks.
Is your AF here oready?? Hope it will come quick than you can start soon. Good luck to you.

Humble,
Hi, How is 3 little humbles doing now hee hee?? Are you working that part time job or you resting?? Will see Dr Loh 20th September to sign consent forms. In fact Nurse Sara did ask him if require scan again but he says not necessary. Still dun feel safe, knew my body very prone to have polyps, will still request for ultrasound scan if he agrees in September. If everythings goes well will start my day 21 injection probably mid-end October. Still long way to go. So will have to nourish my body first.

Hui, Xinyu,
Both starting your injection soon right, wish you good luck and strike.

Stumble by, Moon,
Good luck to you gals.

Catherine,
I am just wondering, I will be alone cycling. You also starting in October. It's your first attempt right? Dun worry, before I start my injection, I was also very scare. After the first jab, you will feel that this is nothing. The needle is very fine, so not to worry ok. Are you with KK?

Stumble by,
A big congrats. You have to take care.

 

[wannabmummy]

buddies,
dunno is the induce AF med make me sik or wat havin bad flu,cough n sore throat...
y biggest enemy..SORE THROAT!!haha..i rather have fever n not sore throat..

 

[qoo_gal88]

Humble/Hui
Thanks for comforting me. Well, just can't help to feel upset when the doc told me yest. Anyway, had told the doc that DH can't come earlier. Just keep fingers crossed and pray that ER will be on Fri and eggs mature on time. Not too early not too late.

Humble, based on yr experience, after ET, I understand that no jumping around, carry heavy things, etc. I will be taking flight back to Spore on the next day after ET, ET on Sunday, and flight on Monday. I can't stay any further here, as need to go back to work soon. Just wonder any advice? Do i need to rest longer before taking flight?

 

[qoo_gal88]

Hui
Mine is 20 UI of Lucrin, yrs 200UI? Yrs dosage so high? After 7th Lucrin injection, my AF come. All the best for u..

 

[wannabmummy]

qoo gal,
haha..stupid me..sick till blur liao..lurcin i duno the dosage but i will be on 200 unit of puregon

..i remember the coundeller said sm ppl even after ET they rest awhile straight away go bk to work liao leh..didn't u check with ur DR?

 

[meow75]

Jolene,
Hi, this is my 1st attempt and i'm with KK. Keeping my fingers cross for all the treatment.

Hui,
Fun in injection? U must have a high endur for seeing that little needle poke into the tummy.

 

[qoo_gal88]

Hui
How u feel today, much better? Still sore throat?
I did the injection alone, most of time DH travels. No worry, no pain. What is the purpose of puregon? As u see, mine procedures is so diff from you all. So far doc only gave me Gonal and Lucrin. Be going for a scan this evening, will update the result.
Well, doc told me to rest on the ET day (at least 6 hours) , then I can take the flight next day. But I always feel the doc a bit blur.. Anyway, I shld have more confidence on him, as his success rate is good. Btw, where to get those cute cute icons? And how to do it? Thanks.

 

[qoo_gal88]

Hui/Humble
Gosh, just went for another scan today. My eggs are growing and mature very fast.There are more 10-15 eggs (15-16mm) on the right and left is 7-8 eggs (10-12mm). The right eggs is growing too fast, and he need to reduce my dosage of Gonal to 150UI. I told DH on the the results and praise the Lord that he agree to come here earlier. I will book him on Wed nite and do ER on Thurs morning. DH is understanding and he willing to postpone his business trips and come here earlier.
Doc ask me to go for another scan tomorrow and see how is the reduce dosage result.
I'm really very very anxious and worry.

 

[meow75]

goo gal,
Don't worry abt yr scan, I'm sure everything will be doing fine. Which hospital are u at? And pardon me for kay po, u r not S'porean? Flying off on 2nd day after ET?

 

[wannabmummy]

catherine,

Qoo,

see..told u there's alwaz be a way out..thanks to ur HB for the understanding n supportive..Good luck babe

 

[qoo_gal88]

Hui
Yup, i'm so worry DH will nag nag and frust. As his job is super stress already, and I don't want our treatment to add stress on him. But phew... i'm so glad that he is so supportive.
Catherine
Oh..I'm SPR but doing ICSI treatment in Msia. Married for 4 years, and TTC for 2 years, and went for medical check up last 2 mths and realise DH sperm quality is low. It's kindda stress for us as lot of coordination to do between me and the doc in Msia/financial/emotionally, etc. If things goes well, will do ER on next Thurs and ET on Sat/Sun.
Need to fly back to Spore on the next day after ET.
U starting in Oct, and no worry on the injection. The needle very thin and no pain. U be doing ICSI or IVF?

[wannabmummy]

Sunday morning wake up no more sore throat le..mayb chilli kills sore throat..

 

[xinyu]

Hui, chilli got a lot of vit C, but dun take too much also... take good care hor. Dun drink vinegar lar, drink more waterrr...

 

[raetan]

Jia you, goo_gal.....& all the best...

hui, mayb it's the weather..... as wat xinyu said - drink more h2o....

 

[wannabmummy]

xinyu,rae n moon,

i have been drining alots alots of water..am leavin s'pore frm 4th aug to 8th aug..

 

[qoo_gal88]

Hui, don't take the vinegar, take little litle of chilli can. It's too strong for our body, especially u are in the midst of the treatment. For craving, just smell the vinegar will do

. Yes, drink more water.
I drank 2l of water here everyday, 2eggs white everyday (but stop taking eggs white since friday), too much protein. Oh yes, I ate a bit of lean meat, plenty of veges and apples only. After yest results, I drink Ice Milo this morning, yummy, its been long long time i drink ice ice drink. Just hoping by drinking cold drink, it will slow down the maturation of the eggs.

 

[qoo_gal88]

Hui, where u going? U had started yr injection right? AF come liao?

 

[qoo_gal88]

Moon/Rae
Thanks.

 

[qoo_gal88]

Gals
When I sneeze , i can feel something is flushing out from vagina, it's like menses symptons. And almost everyday, I have this clear/stretchy coming out (like egg white), and very wet feeling. I keep rushing to toilet and check, so scare thought its menses. I don't dare to sneeze.. I checked with doc yest, he say it's normal leh. Any gals encounter this during the gonal or lucrin injection?

 

[xinyu]

goo, when u start eating 2 eggs white? Now I also started eating high protein low fat low carb food. But haven't start eating egg white. Do you drink milk everyday?

 

[qoo_gal88]

Xinyu
I started to eat 2 eggs white before 1 week before lucrin injection. During injection, I had eggs everyday, and just stop last friday. I'm not sure whether it's help the quality of our eggs, but seems like my eggs is growing very fast. Yes, shld eat more high protein food. Milk 3 times a week only. I drink those dutch lady, full cream milk. I'm quite 'fleshy' type, and too much milk also not too good

 

[qoo_gal88]

Oh yes, xinyu, I eat those real hard boiled eggs. I rem in the last post, they got mention bout soft boiled eggs (those more watery and jelly type) is also good. I'm not sure which type is good, but took the hard boiled. I pass the cholesteral (egg yolk) for my furkids.
Actualy, I'm also very stubborn type, my mum say can't eat those raw foods. But last two weeks (during my lucrin injction on 5th day) I went to eat oysters, sashimi, sushi, mussels, and etc...
So, better be safe, don't take those raw foods by right, but by left, i'm did took them

 

[raetan]

hi goo_gal, pls do not eat raw food anymore. All of us hv come a long way to hv a bb so u shld hv proper & cooked food..... dun let ur time/effort/$$$ go to waste.....

as for the clear/stretchy feeling, i do feel it sometimes....

 

[xinyu]

goo, I am taking HL low fat milk, One glass every nite now. It is cold wan. Dun know can or not..Are you seasoning the egg white with soya sauce or something else?
Sashimi, Oyster, Mussel...my favourite food. I have to tahan tahan tahan...

 

[wannabmummy]

qoo,
i haven start injection..going hong kong and sheng zhen..i realli craving sour things..haha..
sometimes i have this white startchy egg white liquid too..i dun like egg n plain water..hiaz.. i drink 600ml already wan my life liao..haha

 

[qoo_gal88]

Rae
Yup, i just can't resist those oyster... I had discipline myself not to eat those raw foods anymore. Yes , will not be so stubborn anymore, now i'm very particular about my foods.

Xinyu
One glass is good every day, but i had stop drinking cold drinks since i start treatment. For my case, I drink from those packet dutch lady milk. And i didn't put inside the fridge. I will pour 1 pkt of the milk to the glass and drink from the glass. I also not sure whether good or not, just avoid cold drinks. After since the doc told me that eggs are growing too fast, then the next day, i drink a glass of ice milo the next day. But still regret after that. Shldn't had touch the cold drinks at all ....
You can try to take out the HL from fridge and pour to the glass and put some hot water inside the bowl and put the glass inside the hot water. Just lukewarm will do.
For the egg white, I just eat plain, the taste is very blend, no seasoning at all. I eat the egg white with a glass of plain water. Soya products is a no no no for us.
Xinyu, pls endure the raw foods, don't try to even try one. I really regret after that.

Hui
But this white egg white liquid keep coming out everyday since I started Gonal injection. It's been a week. Since doc say it's norm, then ok loh. U had to drink more plain water, i think it really helps in our treatment. I'm using panty liners, and its so wet all the times, and had to change few times a day. I heard that from my doc scented panty liners is not good also.

 

[qoo_gal88]

Went for lunch with my long time fren. She just got married in April , and now preg for 7 weeks

envy envy.... Some ppl can get preg so easily, she is quite thin (43kg) and yet so easy. Feel happy for her , but getting stress for myself. PMA PMA plsss...

 

[wannabmummy]

[jaslynbaby]

Stumble,
Wahh.....CONGRATULATIONS to u!! Do take good care yah!!

Qoo,
Mine blessings to you! Don't get too frustrated ok... U have come so far, just bear with it... Think on the positive side! Even though your DH can't accompany u, but u know his heart is with u. At least u know he is working hard to take care of the family!

Hui,
don't take too much vinegar lah... coz the acidicity quite high.

 

[qoo_gal88]

Hui, yr boss is so good. Eehh... I want also leh.. heee..

Passion, thanks for yr blessing. Yup, physically he is not here, but i emotionally he is here with me.

Latest update gals :
Went for scan just now, and good news, confirm ER on Thurs and ET on Sat. Eggs on the left are growing, more than 10 now, and diameter is 14-15mm. Right eggs are also more than 15 and diameter is 18-22mm. I told doc that probably I'm eating lot of eggs white, and doc smile and say good. He also suprised that why my eggs are growing so fast. And reduce the dosage again.

Hui, according to this doc, 16mm is still not mature enuf to do ER. But now worries, diff hosp have diff protocols. Most important is trust on the doc.

 

[qoo_gal88]

Gals
Last nite is a terrible night for me, can't zzz at all. Stomach feel so cramped, bloated, breasts feels so swollen and very painful. Woke up at 1am and just feel very very 'sin ku' . Then zz on and off till 6am.
Yest doc asked me whether did I feel any changes on my body. I told him again on the clear/stretch eqq liquid and breast very pain every day. All the symptons I have I just tell him, and he say it's norm to have this symptons coz hormone is changing.
