Nancy - Rubbing the back relieves the cramp at the tummy even better than rubbing the tummy itself. It worked for me as I think becos our nerves are at the spinal area and that's why it relieves. I do that for my child sometimes when he complains tummy pain. Try and see if it helps. If still bad, check with your nurse. So far my cramps are either mild, sharp but goes off within a min or two. All on and off. Bloatedness is expected. Try drinking more water, brazil nuts, drink ensure milk, protein stuff. Did you retrieve alot of eggs?

Yah lor... Go toilet so many times to check if af come. Dh thinks I am going bonkers. I think this week quite a no of sisters doing BT.
Nancy - try other forms of protein. The nurse told me can drink Ensure milk which is available in diff flavours. I love the chocolate ones. I also dun take alot of eggs during 2ww. Two eggs every 3 days. I know I cannot stomach so many eggs. But I can drink Ensure everyday. IT is tastey. I think some sisters here have other protein recommendations which I have not tried though. Can anyone suggest?
thanks sisters for the support..
my bhcg was 95 yesterday, according to the nurse, it must be more than 250 to be positive.. even if doubled, not sure if it is enough
the nurse at kkh only told me to come back for a second blood test, no chance to even speak to my doc, sigh..

Sisters,forgot to mention that i m on 5mg folic acid daily when i started to take my other supplements.
Mabel, ya, what an coincidence.
praying hard that we can go into delivery together. i dont have constipation. I has been having diarrhoea since Sunday morning. Once i eat i have to dash to the toilet. my hubby dont let me take any anti-diarrhoea medicine and prefer i continue to purge out. so just have to drink plenty of water and eat porrige cos the "arm" of the porridge has mild anti-diarrhoea effect it is harmless. I m on lots and lots of support since my ET, 2 tabs of progynova twice daily, 1 tab duphaston trice daily, crinone 8% twice daily, and 1ml progesterone IMI alternate days. I m trying to get my doc to stop my jab. he says tomorrow do BT to check my Estradiol, Progesterone and beta-HCG level then decide whether to drop the progesterone jab and whether i can fly back this friday.
Mabel, why 2 weeks for the scan huh? i had my scan yesterday and will be having my scan next week either here or in SG when i see my doc. Btw, maybe you can try the clearblue digital HPT that can tell you which week of pregnancy depending on your HCG level. can you just walk in to do your blood test as and when you want?
Summer/Koirc/Whitetiger, understand your stressed. i tried to distract myself but meeting up friends for coffee/lunch. stay positive for BFP!!! lots of baby dust here going round. try to relax a little. i know it's easier say than done. jia you jia you
Nancy, i took panadol to ease the pain when i cannot tahan. It is safe to take panadol. i have checked. if you cant take egg whites, just take lots of protein, such as fish, milk or cheese.
Your bloat and backache could be due to your swollen ovaries. Cos after removal of the eggs, the empty follicles may be filled up with fluid and still give you a very swollen ovaries. I will subside slowly. for my case, my right ovary has shrunk back to almost the usual size but my left ovary is still very swollen. and the doc say that it will be like that into the pregnancy. so means i will still be having my left back ache for a long time.
sarah, the shopping and food is really good here. given the super high SGD. it makes lots of sense to shop here. depending on what kind of food you like, the standard of dim sum here very good actually most of the restaurant you walk in serve great dim sum and the price is so much cheaper than SG. once of my recent favourite is Lei garden, their double boiled soup is very good, not oily. so had it alternate days.

Hey RitzC, I think it's common to add two weeks because that's what the IVF due date calculator does too: http://www.ivf.ca/duedate.php
Sophia, that I am not sure. Mine is 191 with NUH and they consider it bfp. So I went to check out the info on the web and found this site quite informative: http://www.americanpregnancy.org/duringpregnancy/hcglevels.html

Mabel-1st round failed IVF is how many cells embryos transferred & this round transferred how many cells embryos?
Bluenosebear - 1st round I transfered one good quality and one average quality. NUH grade them this way.I din ask about cells...blur blur then.
This time I transfer one good quality embryo and I asked them the meaning of good. They told me means the embryo has 8 cells and no fragmentations.

Nell, the HK dim sum is very nice. I miss the dim sum. That time when I went with Dh, we order a lot of thing and yet it come out with only abt S$20+. We eat untill so full. I remember I order "loh mai kai", it is so big.... we can only take half of it. I miss the food... omg.
mabel, i used the normal clearblue. cos i m doing blood test same day so din bother. i took a look at the packaging it looks quite easy to use and reliable. it determines your preggy week by the level of HCG. you might want to give a try though our gestational week is calculated differently. i thought at least it give u a comparison against the average normal pregnancy HGC level
sarah/summer, now is dumpling festival. the dumpling here is super huge. about 4 of our usual dumpling. you should try.
sophia, i actually missed going back to office. cos i m so bored at home. i can smell the mould on my skin already. waiting for my hubby to come back and bring me out. so so bored. keep myself occupied by doing some housework and reading.

Nell, that's still CNY!!!
Sophia, I actually didn't know I should eat egg whites until I see all the sisters talk about it here. The nurses at SGH told me I can eat anything as per normal. Only to avoid cooling stuff.
I don't take eggs that regularly in my diet. So now I try. Although we're supposed to eat egg white but it's ok to have the yolk too right?
