yes..folic acid is always good for women who plan for pregnancy.. accup is believe to provide more blood circulation to uterus...perhaps u can give it a try...jus once a week will do now..then slowly gradual up to 2x/week during stage 2, then consecutive 4-5x before ER and ET.. i personally felt it does help me for my tis 2nd cycle leh..but of cos u must feel comfortable at ur side 1st.. i do with dr zou, she is very gentle

linda,
Yes, I m aware tt folic acid is impt...i try to take it bt always stop half way..will try again from tml onwards...
The reason tt I din do acu is bcos Dr Zou is v far from me...I eva done acu wif Dr Tan at Clementi before...not sure whether i will go back to him for more acu...I will c hw as I go along...

Hi Rosrtum, the stage one injection will continue till ER, no breaks in between.
I have lots of tummy fat, so I don't feel so painful during the injection. both for lucrin and puregon (when I inject for SO-IUI)
So don't worry.
It also helps that your hubby is helping you to inject. just pinch your tummy and after the needle is in, release the tummy, and inject the lucrin/puregon. Count to 5 then remove the needle.

Hi Rostrum I am not sure whether full cream is omparable with Ensure but there is a whole list of vitamins printed on Ensure's container so I assume it is better than milk.
Have been drinking every morning for 1 month liao but some sisters says ensure is fattening leh. =)
Linda, my accu was done in zhong hua hospital, didn't go coz not sure if the accu will affect the ivf since accu must do at the correct points to help.
So now I prepare myself more on the food I take, e.g. drink decaffinated coffee if I feel like tasting coffee. =p

linda, accuputure helps u does not mean it will for others. Is very individual. B4 ivf, I spent a lot of money every mth on herbs n accuputure at eys paragon fertility, seeing xiarong. b4, I also saw another reputable Tcm doc. But still, it does not help me.. Tcm doc always says my luteal phrase is not long enough. Xiarong is also very reputable in the Tcm field. I told dr loh that I was seeing her that time, n dr loh knows her Too... He told me he did not think basel temp is a accurate basis to determine if my luteal phrase is good or not. He said my BT confirmed that ny luteal phrase is normal n Ok... in that aspect I agree with him. Blood test can't run.
As for womb lining, Tcm doc does accuputure to improve n aid implantation. But dr loh scan to determine if womb lining is good, n each time he scan me he will say is good,
Am not saying chinese medicine n accuputure have no effects. they do help to tiao the body. But it takes a long time (ie years) to see the effectiveness coz they are slower to act. Most of the sisters here do not hv so much time to slowly tiao our body..
If u ask dr loh, he will ask u to stop all these when u r doing ivf... Coz they may interfere with hormones... All these Lucrin, puregon etc are hormones jabs, why do we need to intro more element of stuffs to interfere hormones.
Is always 2 schools of thoughts.

Singapoh, wow u make ur own chicken essence? That's a lot of work.
Oxidise, I shared with him n asked him on certain things. Can tell he has some reservation. I m not saying cannot combine. is 2 schools of thoughts. I choose to stop when I did not see effective results. E.g. My luteal phrase is still the same no matter which Tcm doc I see, n since BT done by dr loh said is normal n Gd enough.

Hazel,
Home made chicken essence is better than those bottle type. It's not that hassle lah. Just put in the chicken and grated ginger in the essence pot. Let it simmer for 4 hours.
The bad part is got to wash the pot after that. There are many tiny holes for the essence to drip so must wash all the holes thoroughly. Ha ha..

gan, i have!
i still have energy for all this...after the curtains, sending my carpets for shampooing next!
singapoh, homemake chicken essence sounds very enticing. Been looking for herbal chicken soup when i eat out. One of my favourites is this place along Bt Timah Rd called BK Forture. It's a zhi cha shop that sells an excellent herbal chicken. Anyone has any recommendations? I eat out everyday.

Hi everyone, currently in 2WW. Stressed but yet excited about my first IVF journey. BT will be on 24 Nov. Have been trying for about 3 yrs before opting for IVF.
Btw, feeling slight cramps recently and feeling quite worried about it...
Hope everyone is feeling good and may all of you have a great week ahead.
