Mel,
She is sleeping in our room but in her own mattress on the floor but she likes to come and squeeze in the middle of the night. Somehow, really "chinese/asian" on this. I know it is time but I think her and her daddy not ready! He loves to have his little princess with him. This is also the only time we really spend with her as we are both working,

hopeful_mel - your email is correct or not? i try to search for you, i got the invite page only.. yeah.. chicken pox is very good to use one..
if they say how come no marks.. just say that it is all under the clothes.. not like they will ask to see the scars..
if got another long HL/MC.. just say that it is chicken pox relapsing.. 
as for the other ppl.. haiyah.. ignore them.. not worth your time..
dream - lina is right.. that is a good excuse.. haha..
bb - welcome... IUI is just inserting a slim catheter of sperm.. it is not as bad as HSG.. good luck.. it is known that after HSG, the percentage of pregnancy success is higher...

Hi dream,

He is only 18mths old. I've not been carrying him since ET. He's a good boy, everttime he wants me to carry, I'll say 'no cannot carry, hold mummy's hand' then he'll hold my hand and walk. He is really a darling!

Gloria,
well, you can use ovarian drilling or ovarian drainage? but I am not sure whether would need such long MC. Will goggle on cyst removal to obtain more info before I talk about it!
about the website, it is soju.com....only found Korean information? can you give me the full address. thanks
Serene,
nice to hear and he also looks like one too!

Gloria, wow maybe I start thinking of some excuse for you. Ladies, actually so irritating, govt want more babies then here we are also want babies but our working environment never conducive we got to invent excuses and lies cos otherwise difficult for other to understand what we are going through. Then in 2ww even we on MC office keep calling us to do this and that so irritating. MAybe we can all petition and like maternity leave we can get this 2ww leave for those going throu fertility treatment. See we are doing our best to increase the population, we should be given more incentives then those who delay having babies hehehehe just thinking out aloud.
Hi All,
Hope you gals here can help to clarify some of my doubts. Thanks alot!
I had went to c Dr Loh for the 1st time last wk. Glad that he's quite an amicable guy and still will crack jokes with us. Still thinking that since he's the head of the infertility unit he will be quite stern, relieve to kn that he not so. Heng... I did an ultrascan that day, he told me that I got retrovertered uterus, advising me to go for the scope. He's suspecting I might hv endometriosis. If nt I can opt for the x-ray (dye test) I forgotten to ask him how bad is my retroverted? Cos I ever go to another gynac bef him, and she told me mine is slight.
I hv check out this scope test and I realise that is actually kind of "mini operation" as there will be laser to drill hole inside me and c, if there's anything wrong they will correct immed. Sounds scary, and there will be pain and scar aft that. Anyone has done that bef?
I hv actually decided to go for IVF straight as the success rate is better. But hearing the jabs and stuff like that, really scares me off. Maybe I will opt to try for IUI first. Is SO-IUI the same as IUI???
Can I check with u gals 1 last thing. I was asking the nurse that day whether i'm entitled to any claim, she tell me no. Cos I call up myself to book appt under Dr Loh, not throu referral. Is that so. Pls offer me some advice.
Hope u gals hv a nice wkend!

BBAngels,
my understanding on diff between IUI and SOIUI
:
IUI - either u ovulate on your own, or u can be put on clomid (i did in NUH)
SOIUI - on clomid and on Puregon 9 to super ovulate me; hence the "SO" came in) - did in KKH.
jabs for SOIUI and IVF quite similar except the dosage is much more. that explains the effects some sisters are having.
to be a subsidised patient, u need to get referrals from polyclinics.
but once u're referred to KKIVF, all will be classified as private patients already. no more subsides. for your info, SOIUI also came under KKIVF.
hope this helps.

Bee, Bt Batok where?
Lyn, Happy Birthday!
BBAngel, dr will prescribe the treatment. govt grant for ASSISTED REPRODCTIVE PROGRAMME is 3x. IUI also can but since IUI is cheaper, most apply grant for IVF only. injections - can go to family doc, but no need lar. will get used to it after a couple of tries...

WKY,
thanks, bookmarked the website. Which show is recommended? never watch any of these shows? have english subtitles or movies are in english>
Gloria
your memory alreadt quite good...just missing the "my"
mystery solved on your insurance!
Develyn and all sisters,
Discussed with hubby and we decided to buy the insurance. Not really sure what are my chances but better buy than regret later..
Serene,
Trying to look for nice pictures but can't find one! the last pictures taken were in December and I did not lose weight then. Will try to take some nice one now...although still needs to loose weight...but from now on, only hope will only gain weight (for the correct reasons, of course!)

Hi Pau le,
Are you there?
I'm reading a book written by an ex-crew talking about her 13 years experience in the airlines. Nice book to read and somehow refresh some of my memories during my flying days... The book is by the name of 'The Mile Hi! Club Memoirs of a Stewardess' by Janet Chew. If you have the chance, go read it.
