Mic1980: If you have the protein powder from herbalife, there is no problem to take it during the stimulation period. Its contents are quite similar like other brands (amway, GNC etc). But once you know you are BFP, you should check with your DR again. As for Immunocal, we know after BFP we can continue to take it.

Hi hopefulmummy, I'm feeling fine. Hubby have been asking whether I feel anything diff, but actually I cant feel anything at all....not sure whether my embbies are growing well.
Yup, will be going for BT this fri. I am also going KKH today for pregnyl jab
Ladies who have BFP, pls advise whether we can still take half boiled eggs during 2WW

kitty- how come you need to take pregnyl jab? the nurse din tell me i have to jab leh..
that day i asked the nurse whether can take half boiled eggs, she say cannot cos scared may get salmonella.but i also read some girls here are advised to eat half boiled eggs cos the protein will not be destroyed..

<font color="aa00aa">hopeful mum - better to lie diehorrea run its course and try to keep your food intake simple. If you stick to simpler foods, it tends to reocver faster.
I think its safer to not take uncooked eggs. Dr Zou says can take fully boiled just harder to take more at once since it takes shape and tends to fill up our tums very fast. I think if really want to eat raw eggs, then try to get organic or as fresh as possible</font>

Kitty:
I'm worried looking at your posts. At CARE, we were given a long list of Do's and Don'ts after ET. Was told to limit each walk to 20 mins & avoid stairs & squats at least for 1st week. Don't walk/shop too much k? Anytime after BFP also can shop if feel well. Ikea sale will be back one.
After ET at paragon, we even travelled to beach road for lunch then back home. I will sometimes look back & wonder if it's the travelling that caused my BFN 2 weeks back. U be more guai in case got regrets later k?

<font color="0077aa">Dear ladies,
just to share....
a friend of mine, was so happy when she realised that she was pregnant. Went for the 5th week scan to see the sac.
Before her 6th week scan to check heartbeat, she had bleeding. admitted to hospital, checked and gynae told her no heartbeat from bb.
This i learnt a lesson. 2ww and 1st trimester is very very important. She continued working as per normal, and as teachers, we stand and walk and up n down the stairs alot. hence the only time we get to really sit down will be when students left the school. Whole morning we are rushing from class to class, standing to teach, climb up and down the stairs. And I guess this indirectly leads to her earli mc.
I really hope ladies who are doing 2ww, or just bfp, really please take care and minimise walking. We came a longer and tougher ways to get preggy compared to others, hence we really have to set our priorities right and not put our effort to waste.

Hopefulmummy : *wave* Thanks! Hope will have good news!
Exciting... do rest well, OHSS is no joke. Sorry to hear about you diarrhea. Maybe you can try to take some 100plus.
Kitty : Agree with PinkM, should rest more. My last ET last year, I also gungho, walk around alot & was moving hse, though I didn't really do much. When I was thinking back, regretted, donno whether is it due to not enough rest that I BFN. So this time HB & I decided I shall be guai guai and be confined to my bed all the way to BT.
Welcome BB33 & Mel!
I'm also doing FET this month, but will be doing ET on this Thurs.

Hi Kitty Chan,
Yes, it is safe to take half boiled eggs during 2ww... think i took half boiled eggs until week 6 or 8. Of cos, not as much as 10 eggs... maybe 2 eggs per day, as i was very bloated then.
Pregnyl jab is also considered additional progesterone jab. You need not worry.

I have no idea why cannot take herbal soup. But I just listened. Many times during my 2ww, certain food was at entrance of mouth already then I have to put down spoon to refer to this piece of paper before eating or not eating!

Pink Martini : Thanks for sharing the info.
Ineedmiracle : I think not all herbal soup cannot drink but must take note of the ingredients. My mum did mentioned also, coz some of the chinese herbs are not suitable for pregnant ladies to drink. Like "10 quan da bu tang" & Bak Kuk Teh. According to my mum, esp those that are sold at the hawker centre, the bak kut teh may have cinnamon, which should be avoided when pregnant. So I usually avoid those soups when I on cycle.

only the 'ang moh' banana cannot eat. u know the very long and big one, usually used in banana split also. most of us know it as delmonte banana.
our tropical bananas, those short ones are ok.
this is the first time i heard of papaya cannot eat.
ineedmiracle,
homemade herbal soups are ok if u know wat herbs to use. i avoid all herbal soups outside because there are many herbs not suitable for preggie and i dun know wat they put in it.
each follicle and mature egg will produce a certain amt of E2. so for some women especially those with many eggs retrieved (>20), their E2 will shoot up really high. too high = high risk for OHSS, hence sometimes dr will advise the cycle to be canceled.
kitty,
after my ET i moved to my mum's place for one wk so that i hv some help with my daughter, plus my mum has a maid so my meals/laundry etc are taken care of. my mum stays in landed and i also still climb up and down few times a day. i did walk quite slowly though but that is also not intentionally but cos i was quite bloated and still uncomfortable.
i also still carry my daughter, squat down to bath her at times (when she doesn't let my mum bath her).

Hi grumps,
Its always assuring to hearing from you....eating soft boiled eggs and also climbing of stairs but still BFP.
