Got a question. Need help.. Due to one college resigned, her projects piled on me. My co is reducing headcount so it's mi one person doing 2 person work.. My peak period will be aug to sep due to the new portfolio. Kkh dr Loh schedule my ivf in aug/ Sep. My immediate boss is going to deliver in oct. She wants me to push my ivf to earlier like June July so that avoid clashing. I think kkh cant right? Besides maybe need time to tiao the body..Looks like if I stick to aug or Sep, I will miss out on my work n clash my hl with her maternity leave. I Dunno how leh. I don't wish to delay my ivf to later. If I stick to my dates and leave my work to my colleagues, sound like uncooperative unhelpful right? What food to eat now to tiao for ivf huh? Thanks sisters.

Bb_nn, thks for your concern about me.. Really appreciate it.. You so motherly la.. *hugs*
Anyway, after ER, I had the worst case of bloating until want to faint.. They only collected 14 eggs.. *sigh*
I just did my ET yesterday with only 4 fertilized embryos.. *sigh* (dh sperm quality in terms of morphology is only 1%).. *sigh x1000000*)
Very disappointing results.. They placed in two yesterday and froze the other two.. I only have one chance of FET if this fails.. *sigh*
On a lighter note, i am officially in my 2ww now!! They have given me pregnyl for me to inject on my own.. 1000 units every 3 days.. (I really thot there is no more poking)..
Now, I'm trying to rest as much as possible and am trying hard cos I m always thinking about wanting to do the laundry, sweep and mop the floor and cook etc.. My dh is telling me to take it easy at least for the time being.. My mom has gladly told me to rest and she has offered to do laundry services cor the time being.. I think she see me like bloated in pain like very poor thing la..
I am so cautious about my two embryos.. So scared I push them out.. I dread having to sneeze cos I imagine they get pushed out.. oMG, I'm so scared.. I know, the thot of it is quite dumb but I'm just clinging on to these embryos to make my dreams come true.. Having go lose any one of them will make me so sad..
Anyways, I've started taking brazil nuts and on the advice of bb_nn, I have put on socks to keep my feet warm.. Tks mommy bb_nn..
I so wanna go jalan jalan with u girls.. But i still have some abdominal issues to deal with.. Haizzzz...
To the pregnant sisters in this forum, please stay here and don't go away.. Your presence here just gives me the hope that it is possible..
Any other dos and don'ts for my 2ww?
(I feel like eating laksa) I think the pregnyl jab is making me crave for foods..

Silsilly, undetstand how you feel n your fear. As long as you rest well during your 2WW, everything will be fine for you cos you have done your best already. I have only two lower grade embryo to transfer n no embryo for me to frozen at all and yet with the doc good skill and our determination to bfp, I have bfp too. This prove your chance to bfp is high n equal to the rest too, jia you!
Morning Sistas >> just got up, these few days at night cannot sleep coz the body over rested wahhah, toss n turn in bed till about 2am. Any way small issue, today is fri yeah yeah...
Hi Kimmy >> today cancelled we are targeting for Monday 9may, than I can have my ice cream too. Later am I have to go to the clinic, so maybe after this will make my way to the clinic they start operations at 0900 hours. I got ur number later I will SMS u ok.
Hi Queenie >> sure we should keep in touch, if not for outing can be for more friends. Singapore not big place we can even meet in town.
Hi Silsilly >> hi hi you are back, don't think too much, my Dr told me, if the embbies can make it outside environment, those are the commandoes, the elite of the elite. So dun worry.
In fact you did much better than me, DR only took out 13 follicles, n only 9 make it to the match making, on the day of my ET only have 04 embbies, put two cute n handsome embbies in n the remaining 02 for storage.
The tips I gathered from PinkC n other successful sistas, so must pass on the good tips. More important is rest well, we can always go out when we are carrying out fat bellies around, wah I think will be an interesting sight. Anyway PinkC is leading the pack for this month, she will pass BB dust to 12bhappy than to us, so we will have extra more baby dusts.

So nice for those sisters whose co can take u take unpaid leave 3 to 6 months. I think my company don't have such thing... Yr co is it civil servant or stat board?My co got some headcount changes so everything messy messy now... My place nobody take unpaid leave b4. My ex boss say no such thing.. Btw unpaid leave means when we return to work, maybe not be same Dept right? Means any Dept which got vacancy to take the person in?

J03,
I didn't ask the doctor the grade.. She just told me that they are both good quality.. I'm just hoping that the cells continue to divide and develop into a healthy baby..
Bb_nn,
The brazil nuts taste so good that I am tempted to finish the whole packet! But I read somewhere that too much selenium is toxic to the body.. So, I'm only eating 4 a day..
Melodi,
U inspire me actually.. Despite your being worried about your embryos during your 2ww, you were still very determined and managed to get a bfp..
To the pregnant sisters here, I have just opened an empty bag.. You are required to fill up my bag with bb dusts.. Thank you in advance! Hee~

Hi PinkC >> just bk from the clinic, asked about the blood test, clinic said no need wor.
A few things I find strange, my preg test is on the 12 may, how come, I see other sistas is 16 days after ET, also Dr asked if I feel bloated? So I said no, am I suppose to be bloated which is the signs of pregnancy? After which he mentioned never mind may implantation will take place these few days, sob, got me more worried.
Hi Silsilly >> I whack up to ten nuts but after PinkC reminder now keeping the nuts under control. But my hubby also compete with me for nuts might need to top up this weekend again.

J03, me too yest Dr Zou called me..touched by her call she so busy still rem to ask for my scan results. told her having twins & she very happy at least not triplets..haha..yes, she mentioned to me other gals said our batch got more upcoming twins too..i tot u told her yr scan already. when she called it's nice means she can talk longer no customers stressing her. Glad u book the KKH suite, at least u can compare if u wan to go pte later. my tummy is bloated too but i try to wear baggy clothes to hide lor..my FET cycle is better unlike my fresh the bloatedness was worse, similar to silsilly bloatness & it lasts until BT..then big disappointment bloated & end up BFN. Normally 2nd child will show earlier cos it's already expanded mah..btw, can i drink soya bean maybe once twice a week?
CLB, 100+ helps to reduce the bloatedness, control the gas & helps to minmise the nausous feeling..usually when the gas builds up it will make u feel like puking. last time my IVF in thomson the nurses told me to drink if feel bloated. like J03, h2O does helps so well, but it's sweeter. u try out both to see which suits u better.
melodi, great u have the support of yr team for this pregnancy..don't worry abt the leave, u have 4 mths of maternity later to utilise. Most impt u sail thru the 1st trimester & recharge back to your job.
ladies, true lor i also feel bad taking abt our journey too much, control abit..now i m starting to read the twins link to get more tips..not contributing yet unless later stages pregnancy more stable 1st.
