Linda,
Many congratulations….rest well and if need, your hospital can give sabbatical? Its an option given how precious you little is…
Hazel,
Wei Hazel, whenever you feel like crying, find a place to sob sob a bit and vent it out and you will feel better k… Decide on your priority now, meaning still fulfill your responsibilities at work but if really cannot cope, take a step back from work (don’t be so on anymore..even if it means your boss may think you not so on anymore, you know you have a more important task at hand) and remind yourself that health is more important with or without doing ivf. Sought refugee in your religion and if you are a free thinker, still have a belief system that many good things will happen to you in due time.
Take each step at a time…when you start the jabs, understand that your emotions will become more unpredictable (it is happening to me) but know its not yourself but all the hormones all over the place. Take care and you can handle it very well in due time
!
Bunny,
I started about 2 weeks before stage 1, 2 bottles a week so that body will still to adjust and not be “suddenly very heaty”. I drink in the morning, first time when I wake up and about 30 mins after drinking, I drink half a glass of water to prevent heatiness…
Rostrum,
Chicken essence is good in the sense that its another source of protein and its good to obtain protein from varied sources to follow the everything in moderation principle.
Conventional method for most
Stage 1 The only one jab is suprefact (suppression jab) in the morning
Stage 2 Got 2 jabs. One is still suprefact with lower dosage by stage 2 and still in the morning. New additional jab is gonalF (stimulation) to be done at night.
Yes, lets jia you together
your diet looks great..

Serene,
Jia you sister!!!! Ask your hubby to bring you to buy you all the yummy food you want to eat and all the Korean/HK dvds I everyday want to watch but no time to and you watch on my behalf k..

Hi oxidised,
I've PCOS too. During my time, I've the same dosage of 150IU of puregon. I do have bloatness but I was able to control the OHSS. I eat a lot of egg white, Kiwi etc. I would like to encourage all ladies here, do not give up. I went thur IVF and many operations, in and out of hospital many times. If I can stand up to have the battle, why you can't

HI Oxidised,
Congrats on your BFP!!!
Have a safe and smooth pregnancy ahead!!!
Hi Libby,
I've received your PM previously and have lately replied to you via email. Wondering if you did receive my email? Sorry for late reply cos after that I was in a moody mood so did not access anything at all during that period.
You've started your IVF cycle yet?

I didnt do much preparation... But i did start on accup not long ago.. I didnt do accup for my fresh cycle so hope it will help me.. I went to accup for 3 times only till date.. Will be gng soon.. Cos my af just came so cant do accup..
And i drink yomeishu also.. But not on regular basis.. I stop for 2 weeks liao.. Cos feel abit heaty..
Since u did manage to conceive u shouldnt have much problems. Maybe u will like to try tcm to take herbs or accup to build yr womb stronger so can hold the baby better? Did u do tcm for yr ivf that time?

emma n sisters, am staring at day 21. just called them to ask if I were to go for day 2-3 blood test today or tomorrow. Was told can go today. Tomorrow got lots of meetings, difficult to steal time to go down. N nurse said will give me e prescriptions n injections today also to start on day 21. These days can collect injections so early in advance? Am impressed... Oh Ya,, I hv not done social worker counselling..

hi hazel, which doc are you with?
Hi Linda,
I'm really very happy to hear about your BFP on Friday. I'm already very excited when you start asking me abt what medication are given to me after BFP. heee.....
Your level is pretty good so dun worry too much. I've heard from Dr Zou that on D17 BT, anything above 250 is considered stable.
I do understand your fear. If you are worry that duphaston is not enough, then you may ask Dr Loh to prescribe you on a 3 times each day basis.
Once again, congrats and have a smooth 9 months ahead. You may want to consider joining the IVF MTB thread.
Hi Gloria, Libby and all ladies out there, you will be NEXT!!!!

we will certainly be seeing u at tt thread soon

hi hazel, not sure if there is a lull period for u... for me, my work peaks every Feb-Jul. then, i was on a totally new project and stress was unavoidable.. its a tough decision, but i decided to sacrifice bb plan for a while longer ie. delay my uterus ops till after jul. i rested for 2 months, try natural for 3 months... as there was still no results, we embarked on IVF in late Dec last yr immediately so tt all the jabs/HL would all be before Feb.. (i started stage 1 merely days after my 1st doc visit)
then, i also realised my stress level increased with the new project. to help release the stress, i started yoga and tt helped to calm my mind and body a lot. it may not be suitable to continue with the normal yoga after ET but some basic breathing and stretching exercises could still apply. massage is good way to relief stress but do look for appropriate ones cos some are not suitable for preg mummy
finally, communicate more to ur hubby, u will need his love and care more when u start u IVF journey... take care! cheers!

rostrum, he wrote a memo to the Kkivf nurse n told them to slot me in.. He told me he got 1 patient withdrew.
Bee, so u pregnant now? I dun really have lull period. Am doing audit. Year end supposed to be but now, got a project pushed back till year end to do! I planned this beginning of the year when we are planning our project schedules but things hv changed.
Actually I went to see doc in jan 08 last yr after 1 yr of trying n no luck. Doc kept asking me to try natural first n he said me n my hubby nothing wrong..
