Furthermore I got throat ulcers (can't eat any medication due to pregnancy)so it will definitely worsen if I vomit. That's why I am very worried...Pray hard I won't get it...

janice - when I first told angela I'm taking conceive well she ask me wats that!?!?
I also got a big shock when I went for my D2 BT and after angela scan me she started my cycle immediately. but I'm glad I started if I started cycling in sept then I cannot rest during 2ww cos nobody cover my work. we're one of the lucky few that strike on first cycle

will highlight to them tml. thanks
Just went to see GP cos having phelgm and not sure if this is the cause of my breathless.
My appetite very good. yesterday at 5pm took biscuit and milo, then at 6pm I was so hungry, went to have MOS fish burger. Then had fishball soup at 8.30pm when I was at my mum's place. then at 9pm I took a cake. Horrible hor....my hubby look at me and say, 'dear you not preg yet right?' hhhahaha
just took a packet of chicken rice and lotus root porkribs soup. yummy.
I've been having loads of CM since D3/4 of puregon. Day mentioned that having CM is good means Estrogen is high, and I think if estrogen is high, means many follicles =) so good sign!! follicles growing well!!!
Up your immunocal. Now I take one in the day and one at night, then my bloat so much better. Now I kinda of enjoy the aching at the sides. I feel the signs telling me my follicles are growing. ahahha....When it is not aching for sometime, I will ask if they are growing? lolz....silly me hor
BY THE WAY, I think as what grumpus mentioned, cooked lotus roots shouldn't be liang, else Dr Zou wont ask preg lady who are spotting to take lotus roots le...right?</font>

CONGRATS!!!!!
grabbing babydust from you! =)
Rainbow
like what fancy said, ensure and brazil nuts are sufficient. Immunocal is just another protein drink to ease bloatedness.
Now already in 2ww, and most ladies just take protein and folic acid during this period.
Moreover supplements should be taken 3 mths prior to the cycle. =)
So now just rest well and talk to your darlings. dun worry about the supplements le.</font>

i thought FSH, lower better? so growth hormone and fsh is 2 different thing ah?
Yah cost in CARE is high but the attention and service they provide is all worth it, and finally BFP, you will find the money well-spent!!!..... start fast means bfp fast mah.. =)
fancy,
ER should be somewhere next week bah, unless I can clear tml, but unlikely? since its so rare...
winnie

miracle, eh... i think it's LH? now extra cost for the growth hormones and i think need to jab for 3months
.
Yes agree that CARE give attention and service. everytime we talk to angela, i feel as it we are attending lesson. she will write and draw for us hmmm... now i shall enjoy my trip with the jabbings

winnie, wah so many BT ah? BT every week? i also taking cordycep pills every morning. i think temp should be enuf lah hor? i think we are the last patient b4 lunch. my hubby still say come back tmr for the med cos dun wan to take up angela's time. then i told him it's late already cos it's my D18, angela said usually they start i think D2.
Tzac, i spent $50+ for consultation. i heard from the sisters her referral will be cheaper. i am referred by Jurong East Dr Tan. as what winnie said, strongly encourage to attend together so that both know what is going on and what to expect. they might ask both couple to take certain tests depending on individual.
i spent almost $1k for my D2 hormone, AMH, Growth hormone, my dh's semen analysia and DNA fragmentation tests.

Janice: wow, that is expensive. $1k oni for the test. in total, how much will it cost for ivf?
my test result is very conflicting. my AMH is very gd but FSH is on the high side. moreover, noted that my antral-follicle is very little so thought of going to a centre that will hv a customised approach in the ivf cycle. hopefully, will be able to BFP. howver, concerned abt high costs using CARE....sigh.....

Miracle,
I was always hungry & eating a lot during stimulation too. At that time no one else said so for themselves. Most ladies here report bloat & lack of appetite. I was the reverse. Ate n ate every hr or so too. Stomach always growling & I thought I was weird. Hahaha. It's just our follicles growing & consuming lots of energy. So eat to your heart's content now

Next BT is Fri morning.
Tzac:
We spent $18k for fresh cycle and $4.5k for medicated FET at CARE. Hope this helps in your budgeting and decision-making.

syrah, ineedmiracle, same here, my appetite also not much affected from Stage 1 to 2ww to BFP but I started to feel loss of appetite now. Dunno whether the hormones peaking & I really have no appetite for anything but have to force myself to eat otherwise will feel hungry...
Tzac, I think ivf cost ard $20k but can claim fr medisave depend on how many cycle u had done. Mine extra $4k for the growth hormones. Do cash after medisave shd be ard $16k - $17k. Angela will give a cost breakdown but oso depend on individual. Hmm... I think Care gives more attention to individual but of course much more expensive. If bfp I think it's worth it. We went thru kkh, dats y we decided to switch.
Winnie, haha then u need take more tonic to bu back yr blood ;-)

Yup, my fresh was long protocol.
Actually we did a natural IUI and an SO-IUI with CARE before embarking IVF upon Angela's advise. She wants us to conceive the cheaper and fuss-free way first. Only when SO-IUI failed in Dec 2009 then we did IVF this year in Jun.
Upon consultation, you should be able to start cycle straightaway unless there are some D2 BTs that you may need to go through first. Start cycling straightaway means report and call for appointment on D2 of menses and turn up for scan. Then schedule will be printed for you and you are good to start.
