Hi pink - wow.. Ur menu is makin mi hungry again. Lol. But wat i can say is with hubby been flyin frequently reri mould us into a more independent woman ;). Sometimes reri enjoy time alone. Hehe.
 


Hi Val,
R u under Dr Loh at KKH? Were you under short or long protocol?
Congrats and the very best baby dust to you all the way!

I'm a bit concern cause when I told Dr Zou tt Dr Loh is putting me on short protocol for 1st time IVF she was a little surprised and said usually first timers go on long protocol no? and wondered why.

I'm also wondering how many times to see Dr Zou a week is considered sufficient for 'preparation', its convenient to see her cause i used to just stay one block away b4 getting married.

Anyone has any ideas?
 
bb_nn> brazil nuts can take up to 4 per day..err 10 is abit too much dy..haha. the longan drink i hv like 4cups per day coz i boil mine in slow cooker n not wori abt it thro out the day.i alternate chix essence w longan drink so tat not too jelak. actually it depends on ur body type..heaty or liang oso.mine is liang so even if i drink essence morn i can drink longan all day no prob.

12bhappy> ya agreed sometimes i oso enjoy time alone at home.in fact doin home chores helps me de-stress but since itz 2ww i'll hv to do less cleaning but i really hate ironing..hahah. next time we mit i cook for u ok?i enjoy cookin too n durin tis time simple nutrituous 1 pot meal recipe is my top priority..noth elaborate n noth deep fried..really nid to crack my brain sometimes haha..

u can oso buy a bag of juicy red apples n stock up,if u hungry snack on them.sometimes wen i hungry i eat a cup of muesli mix w milk..it has loads of fibre so constipation not an issue.for extra nutrients u can add sunflower seeds,dried cranberry,dried blueberries or dried raisins into it.at the moment avoid banana in ur diet.

do remember to drink lots of water..if u sense tat UTI is comin,immediately drink some cranberry juice.the other day i was thirsty in the middle of the nite but was too lazy..wen i woke up i knew UTI comin so i immediately ate 4 cranberry tabs(fm GNC) n downed 2bottles of water...then felt instant relieve.

Starbaby, ur scan is tmr? U on which day of ur stim jabs?
 
J03,
An extract of ur post...
"U need to know how to manage or clean up the chicken.. My mum does for me and she remove the skin so that not so oily.. Then cut into three parts, use a claypot, put a bowl upside down into the claypot. Inside is empty, then put the chicken on top of the bowl.. Cover the claypot, boil a big pot of water beforehand, put the claypot directly into the big pot. Use small fire boil for 3 hrs.. After 3 hrs, take out the claypot, open the cover and throw away the chicken on top of the bowl.. U will see nothing below until u remove the bowl in it and the yellow chicken essence will flow out.. Very rich and bu to drink..;) dun be surprise that it is only a small bowl of essence...;) u must rember to top up the water in the big pot before it dries up.. Hope the above is clear for u..;) usually after drink, i will perspire alot..not sure why.. "
 
Top of the morning to all the sistas, I m so use to getting up this time for work, dun seem to be able to get back to sleep.
 
Hi PinkC >> Ok noted on the UTI, will try to drink more water, had my chic essence this AM, mine is from the bottle. My long gang drink, i use magic pot to cook rather than slow cooker, will that be ok, or must be slow cooker?
 
Thk u queenie..;) thats exactly my post.. So touch that u copy dn.. All the best to ur first scan tomorow..;)

All the best to silsilly er today..

bb_nn>sometimes i lazy i oso drink fm my Brands Essence in the morn.surprisingly i dun sweat a bucket like j03.

i suppose magic pot/thermal pot oso can coz it continuous 'boil' n retain heat after u off the fire.
 
Hi Qingwei >> Normally I will pinch the area than jab, just before I pull out the needle I will release my belly n redraw the needle, but sometimes will still blue black, sometimes can be due to squeezing too hard causing the blue black also, u can use warm towel to compress, might decrease the chances of blue black, u try.

Maybe you can discuss with the nurses, they might have som tactics as well. I hope this might help.
 
Hi PinkC >> what u cooking for lunch today, I normally eat out so at a lost, always can food. Arg how. I have pasta n tomato mushroom paste, nothing else at home, dun know what to prepare also.
