Only "left" the forum for half a day and the forum is so alive. Develyn, it is great to have you back. So much positive vibes! I was actually a bit sad as only 3 out of my 21 eggs made it till today! And grade is so so..average and fair that is what the embryologist said. The good thing is that they all develop to 4 cells but they seem quite fragmented.
Tori
you really boost my morale. I know it only takes one but I am so scared that history is repeating itself. But you give me hope. I must be more positive.
Develyn, gloria
yep, put three today. Only came home at 6:30. They let you rest there for about 3 hours. Mine a bit longer as the nurse forgot about me. Was really bored there as did not have anything to do. Did not dare to move ! dr was quite happy with the ET. It seemed like an eternity to me.
For insurance they give us a choice. I am not really sure whether I should buy it since I would already be very lucky if one sticks! Have another 6 days to decide!
Dr gave me some more injections! BT scheduled on 29.
Libby
I am sorry to hear about your BT. Be strong

Dear all
It has been sometimes i didn't post in this forum but i am a silent reader... can't contribute much as i haven't started my IVF..
For those who has been scheduled at later months, wish to let you know that there are available slots to start IVF in June. Nurse asked if i wanted to start earlier in June today when i went to sign the consent form. I still prefer to have mine to start in July for my uterus to rest for 2 months after hysteroscopy next week. You may want to call KKIVF if you want to start earlier...
For those in 2WW, rest well and BFP soon...

Gloria,
I went unity, watson and guardian to check liao. They only carry two versions: centrum for all purpose and centrum silver for older people. So the one you bought is THE one. Also, watson and guardian having sale of two packs of 100 tablets for $89.90. Can last for 6 months.

me and my hubby have been taking GNC salmon fish oil for 2 years now... in fact, it was recommended by my friend... she told me it's good for the heart and the joints, and at GNC, the lady told me it's not only meant for old people, it's good for all, especially for people who don't eat fish regularly, which is exactly me and my hubby.
I was looking at the GNC website trying to find out wat's the different between fish oil and DHA oil.... but don't understand anyway, so when i'm back in singapore, wld check with the GNC consultants.
Anyway, i think it's good for general health anyway.
Oh yah, regarding your cholesterol level, try to refrain from fatty food ah, usually woman tends to have higher level of cholesterol so must take care. My mum also have this problem and she was taking medications to surpress the level for 6 months before the levels are back to normal.

Tany,
Our dear dEvelyn is already running all over singapore eating.. She does not sound like she is in 2ww.. but also good if not if she lie down whole day, we got to spend more time trying to catch up with the threads cause she will flood the forum *pengz*.. if she flood I will ask her to call me everyday to summaries the content!!! But the good thing is that she is healthy again
Steven,
A lot of ladies here also scared of taking pills and injections. You can buy a pill crusher/cutter at any leading pharmachist to help your wife. I also have problem swollowing medication but for the sake of the ivf I do all the "never thought I will ever do" things like swollowing huge Multi-vit every morning, other then all the ivf injections now I am also going for accupuncture...
Woman at a certain stage will go all the way out for a success no matter how pain. If your wife is heaty ask her to drink more water
All the best in your IVF with your wife.

hi everyone,
went for acupuncture at raffles today, recommanded by develyn. Aiyo dr said my energy level is very low. Need to "bu" body. I told her , i thought bu means will be fatter, she said not through, she said I am fat because my energy level is too low. She told me to start taking chicken essence, anyone knows what else to take? I will be seeing her once a week for acupuncture and when i start my jabs, twice a day. It was good though. Oh and I decided to do jabs with her cause this time my dr is Joan thong and she works well with her.

yah, totally agree with humbug, i also don't take big pills well, but with all the vitamins, which is so huge, slowly slowly your wife would get use to it one... i always put one by one at the back of my tongue, nearer to the throat, so faster to swallow!
just like many girls, it's normal your wife is scare of injections. Ask her not to look loh, like me. Anyway the injections are not painful one, very fine needle.
with you being so supportive, your wife wouldn't have any problem!

Gloria, I have a bottle of GNC: Goldmind's DHA 200mg per gel, a total of 60 gels in that bottle. It cost around $60. I bought it from my previous gynae before I had the miscarriage. But during that time, I went to check at GNC, they don't carry the bottle that I have. They have another another version of DHA. So maybe my gynae's version is only sold via specialist clinic. Can't remember the exact name of DHA sold at GNC shop but it does not carry the word goldmine. I will make do with this bottle first and after finishing, most likely will get from GNC directly. You can check out, they definitely have one and I still remember they sell in different sized bottles.
I will be be starting my first cycle with Prof Wong, NUH nearer year-end. Now starting with preparation work such as hsg and blood tests.

Hi Develyn,
thx for your advice. I have been trying to tell myself to just follow 1 step at a time what the nurses advise me to do but somehow still ccan't help wanting to find out more to increase chances of BFP.
Hence, I always try to come to this thread and read if I really can't chat due to poor connection. Anyway, will try not to think so much. Thx again!

hi all
i went for me scan today... very exciting experience. i was a little scare cos hvnt seen bb for a month, not sure if bb is growing well or not. bb was facing down initially, so gynae was not able to see if gal or boy... she tried very hard, scanned from the side, then she said she saw a diamond shape and said 70% sure it's a boy... well, we merely saw grey & black spots.. she wanted to be more sure, so she pressed harder on my tummy and guess what??!! the bb flipped and faced up *i was amazed*. This time, she said 90% confirmed it's a boy.
she even asked me to make a cough, i did and i saw the bb "jumped". bb seemed active.. limbs kept moving up and down... i can't describe the feeling, definitely felt all the jabs and piils were worth it!
So Libby, Gloria and those still trying, dun keep up yet... it's a painful journey but think of the good feeling ahead, do whatever necessary to prepare ur body for the next cycle!
Develyn - BFP to u... dun sit too long in front of computer... must rem to walk and rest hor
I thot insurance is compulsory?! at least at TMC it is... cost is $100 for 2 embyro and $700 plus for 3... i think safer to buy la

hi Steven
My body also considered heaty type.. TCM medicines are usually heaty, just have to make sure that ur wife drinks more water, eat more fruits and vege while on TCM medication. TCM medication will help to prepare the womb to conceive better... worth trying! at least it cured my 15 years long bad cramps which i experienced every month! then... i wish i was introduced to TCM 15 years ago!

hi libby,
sorry to hear that. Do continue to tio your body and jia you.
hi mel and develyn,
the nurse says must buy so i thought compulsory. But i recall when i tried FET, i posted the question here. Then reply from ladies here is must buy. As then i felt that FET chances also not high, why must force us to buy insurance.
hi bliss,
then just let him stay in the cosy womb longer.
hi ltjabi,
that's normal. My gynae also answer questions when you ask, will not talk much as there is a long queue of patients.
hi bee,
congrats on having a boy!

Hi ladies, this thread really moves super fast.
Hi Gloria, Yes went jalan jalan today after Prof sayang me leh. I will PM you what he told me. With regards high cholesterol you can drink green apple and celery juice evry morning this is one way to cut cholesterol, try it my DH did it for 6 mths and managed to reduce his cholesterol. And like Develyn say please don't diet and go any thinner then you will only be skins and bones, just eat healthier lor.
Libby, sad to hear about your BT results. Hugz to you, take your time to recover and join us for your next cycle we can BFP together.
Develyn, Looks like you have recovered fully, good for you. Wow really cannot eat potato ah, I die la I cannot give up potato leh.

Lina, Itjabi - you shd be doing the test for down symdrome soon right? hv u decided to go for the 95% blood test or the 100% test? my gynae said the 100% test has a slight risk since the needle will have to poke right thru to extract the "yang sui". so, maybe u can try the 95% test first since no risk... cheaper too $300 as compared to the other which is $900.
