Jeni,
I will also be at KKIVF on Tuesday for scanning. Your timing is a bit too early. See next time have chance to meet you. I've calculated my ER/ET is around Christmas week , your beta result is also there . Just hope Again this time we won't clash with holidays. Good Luck to Us. Santa will take good care of us.
MSH,
Do you need to go for hormones injection after ET/ER? What is the frequency?

to me daily jabs better. time pass faster and the progestrerone makes me drowsy in the day, so time passes even faster. the lsat cycle, i read a few harry potter books and 5-6 readers digest in the 2 weeks. i didn't een read much this time. only eat and sleep. i'm so scared, don't eat will feel hunget but eat and whether succeed or fail, i'd become a big fat pig. hb say don't think, just eat. of course la, he's not the one getting fat

Hi everyone,
I've been missing for the past 5 days. Was admitted to the hospital for OHSS (can't breath). My cough and flu worsen the whole situation and doc discovered water in my lungs after x-ray. Tough luck. I was put on oxygen mask during my stay there too.
Well, done my beta blood test during my stay in the hospital and it's a BFP (although it's only stands at the count of 200 plus)
After discharged, doc gave me 17 days mc at home to rest.
My next scanning will be on 13 Dec.

ha! ha! Catherine! Congrats! You are a source of motivation for us!!!!!
I think as long as our HCG Beta count doubles every next day u test, should be okay. take care of yourself!
Koala, okay prob for lunch/dinner meet ups. But i will be away for my shanghai trip next saturday to the following Thursday. So anytime after tat is fine with me.

Hi Cat
See the attached link for your reference:-

The beta range is quite big for 5 weeks. I think yours should be singleton, right?

Thanks Koala for the link. I'm still not too sure whether mine is a singleton or twins. Will only know on my next scanning on 13 Dec.
HI Jeni,
During ER, u'll b put under sedative, therefore u'll b sleeping thru out the whole process. Will only wake up abt 3-4 hrs later in another room. Don't worry u don't feel a thing b4 and after ER.
For my ET, it was a bit painful cos doc couldn't find the tube, therefore she pinched a little which cause me to have a slight bleeding. Oh, u have to have a full bladder to do ET, whole process should take no longer than 30 mins, rest on bed for 10-20 mins and nurse ask u to go off liao.
During ET, doc will tell u the grade of yr embryos and thus u can make decision whether to put how many. Due to my grade (3), I made a last min changes to put in 3.

Hi ladies, I'm back from the pregnyl jab... I survived... the needle is so long and when the nurse injected it in, it was not painful but when she pushed the plunger in, that's when the pain shot through the thigh...
Now limping a bit already...
Catherine, after you wake up from the sedation, will they tell you how many eggs they retrieve?
Dawn, yes... it is the thing for pregnant women over there now... I heard any shop selling maternity wear will sell it.
Ladies, thanks for your encouragment!

Hi! Jeni,
I've been very sick yesterday nite. BEry Hot (even aircon set at 23c), menses alot,feverish and throat very pain. When I took Lucrin , only know that development of hot flashes is one of the side effect.Probably I didn't take good care of myself.
Good luck 2morrow ER and Thursday ET. Wish you have a Cute BaoBao
