THINGS TO DO DURING THE IVF TWW
Day 1 - Organize sock drawer. Throw out singles.
Day 2 - Bathe the dog OR bathe two water-phobic cats. Be sure to wear Kevlar gloves.
Day 3 - Eat a whole bag of chocolate rice cakes. They're even better with peanut butter on them!
Day 4 - Decide to get healthy, walk 5 miles, get a blister on your heel from sneakers that don't fit right.
Day 5 - Take all the clothing out of your closet. Start sorting which items to throw away or give to charity. Get bored, leave the mess.
Day 6 - Do the same with your dresser. Ditto on the mess. Find mates to single socks you threw out on Day 1. Keep them. Start poking your breasts looking for signs of tenderness.
Day 7 - Go shopping for new clothes. Buy only things that can be "converted" for maternity wear (stretchy pants, straight-waisted tops or dresses). Obsess over whether those twinges you felt were implantation or gas.
Day 8 - Buy a multi-pack of HPT's. Keep looking at them every time you go in the bathroom, even though you know it's too early to tell anything. Wonder if your breasts are sore from being PG, or from all that poking.
Day 9 - Cut coupons out of the newspaper, INCLUDING those for diapers and other baby supplies. Stick them on the refrigerator to remind you that THIS is the month. Call your SIL (you know, the pregnant one) and chat for awhile.
Day 10 - Take out package of HPT's, fondle, read directions, put away. Repeat several times. Obsess over whether breasts are more or less tender than they were yesterday.
Day 11 - Wonder if your nausea is from PG, or from the double super burrito with extra jalapenos you ate for lunch (cravings??), followed by an entire package of chocolate rice cakes smeared with peanut butter. Fondle HPT's again, put away.
Day 12 - Spend half the day in the bathroom (see burritos above). Swear you'll never eat Mexican food again... until next time. Throw away diaper coupons because two visitors asked if there was something you wanted to tell them?
Day 13 - Clean up the mess you made on Days 5 & 6. Keep those jeans you wore in high school - you'll get back into a size 3 someday. Be happy that you can walk across your bedroom again without stepping on clothes.
Day 14 - Wake up at 4:30 am, open the HPT... You know what to do.

Hi Girls,
Looking to do a fast spree for Royal Jelly with Bee Pollen in Honey from YS organic bee farm in an attempt to boost quality eggs. After suffering 3 miscarriages I just so willing to try anything =S
Was wondering if anyone would be interested?
A Bottle would cost probably ard $32 (estimated however should be slightly lower after calculating the exchange rate) for a month supply of 2 teaspoon daily. I saw a lot of TTC/ IVF girls writing on this in the other forum with success story thus wanted to give it a try.
Please note however if allergic to bee i.e pollen or sting it is not recommendable.

JJ, I used to wear very "few" clothes to sleep. But I think all these habits are no good.
))). Especially after ER, we have to keep my womb n body warm for implantation to take place. Since I have started on TCC in 2009, I started to wear more clothes where possible, I wear long pants to sleep or just staying at home. Before I go to sleep, I will put on socks.
At home, I dun turn on Aircon. N dun let fan blow directly at me. Now, I feel very wierd when I dun wear slippers. I find the floor is really cooold!!!

Gd luck, iloveshoes! Treat yrself tat u r preggy now...
Morning all!!!
Adeline : Thanks! Yah my ebbies managed to maintained their grading. But we had standby another straw in case they didn't make it. According to my doc, the grades may not be the same, it really depends.
FET is much lesser stress than the fresh cycle. Depending on whether you are doing natural / medicated.
Natural : ET done based on our natural cycle, usually after own ovulation. But can get cancelled anytime, if lining not optimal. Mine was cancelled due to E2 unstable.
Medicated : I was on lucrin to do the suppression, and subsequently during cycle, doc will give medication to build lining, when lining reach optimal thickness, ET can be proceeded. So in a way more controlled.
iloveshoes : How you feeling? Must rest well over the next few days yah. welcom into 2ww!!!! Don't worry about the grading, as they are only an indication. Now got to be zen and not be stressed about it!
PinkD: *wave wave* How are you?

hey ladies!!!
I finally see dr loh. He din rush through, in fact i feel very comfy with him. He did a scan for me and commented my ovaries great and have many follicles. Detailed scan result will wait till the report out.
Met sara nurse at kkivf. Love her! She is so adorable! Went thru every details with me. Will be gg down with hb on 27/8 to sign forms n do the necessary BTs.
Dr loh asked me to start ivf using sept cycle. Cos early sept he is not in town if i use aug cycle. It will be better if he is ard.
Feeling more assured now that i've seen dr loh.
