Thanks guys for the advice. Oh man, I think I better go eat eggwhites or maybe immunocal too then! Yikes! I live with my in laws and on weekends at my parent's place. and I hate eggs. my mum will be wondering what's up with me! Shall have it later for super... will that make me put on weight?
Ron, yups, I'm on the long protocol too. I wanted to go on the short protocol, cos I thought it will be faster. But my dr. said long protocol has better success rates. as good as 50%. So we just listened to him. But my my, the amount of jabs is 'amazing'. Can't wait for it to be over!

hi hazel,
how much drinking milk? last time when i had constipation (b4 preggy)everytime i got a bit of constipation after taking fresh milk i'll want to go toilet. 3 litres of water is alot le, but better listen to doc's advice. Try to take food rich in fibre like vegetables, wholemeal, dairy products and fruits.

hi hazel,
do u apply stretchmark cream on your tummy, try to massage in clockwise circular motion lightly around your tummy. i did tat last time i had constipation, after that it'll help me to release wind and i can release bowel subsequently but not immediately.. Did you drink enough water daily? Think i read somewhere that with increase in progesterone level in our body, our muscle tends to relax tats why we had constipation/ indigestion cos our stomach and intestines became relax and not doing their job in digesting the food and also "pushing" it down our intestines tats why we had constipation.

hi hazel,
it must be very uncomfy for you, last round I 2-3 days constipation already felt so uncomfy took lactus also no use. Did Dr Loh advise how to prevent?

hihi
been reading but too tired to post, been puking and nauseous all the time, lots of gas till tummy is so tight and uncomfortable, not enough sleep too due to the discomfort and keep going to the loo at night due to pressure on the bladder, even though it's just 2-3 drops of pee.

Kimmy: Not on this cycle.. Next one in august.
Mine is on short protocol. I ask dr Loh why not long - he say worse cos I'm prone to Ohss. Start to feel scared.... So eat immunocal n egg whites prevent Ohss?
I don't have OG card. Anyone else buying and looking to share? I read that Li and Fung is the one that Buy 2 get 1 free- and can order as they do delivery. dunoo now still valid. Let me know --- I'm keen to share!

i eat everything in moderation, except for raw foods (including veggies, becos of the recent e coli thingy), soft cheese and diy bbq food. but have been overdosing on instant soup and instant noodles as these are the only things i can eat w/o puking.
i still drink coffee (1 cup a day), on and off and still take cold drinks, 100plus, coke etc.
previous pregnancy i think i ate more fast food esp macdonalds cos was stuck in kkh under bed rest most of the time sand hospital food really sucks, and my boy turned out well. main thing is to avoid foods that can cause stomach upset or food poisoning.
from what i remember:
food that MUST avoid
raw food (raw fish, & raw vegs (because of e coli)
partially cooked meat & diary products (eg diy bbq, chicken, eggs, soft cheese)
cockles and oysters (hep)
food to reduce
excessive coffee (higher chance of miscarriage)
any liver (high content of Vit A- damage fetus)
deep sea fish (big fish) - e.g. shark, fresh tuna (can tuna is ok as they use smaller tuna fish which has lesser mercury content)

Bbmaking, yes I agree. Dun take excessively. But my gf said our pregnancies are previous! Haiz. Now she just told me honey also cannot. That one I really dunno why.
I went coffee shop for prata just now n they were digging road near by. So noisy, I ate already quickly leave...

eh honey shd be ok but not excessive, cos too much honey will cause GD. only know cannot feed honey to babies below 18mths cos it can cause botulism.
i can't eat anywhere with strong food smell, will immediately puke, so coffee shops/food courts are a no no. now when outside limited to sandwiches shops cos no strong smelling or oil smell.
envy you and your prata.

hi BPF ladies,
Is it ok if I request to tone down the discussion here about the m/s once the pregnancy is on the way (ie. seen the sac growing & the little heartbeat)?
We still want you here to give advise, guidance and motivation. However, all the talk about m/s is sometimes demotivating to the sistas still trying, esp those who have already failed previously & on the difficult days. I am one of those who are glad you are pregnant from ivf but can't help being jealous/envious listening to the m/s posts. You have all been an inspiration to know that IVF does bring success, so please stay on this forum, we need all the support we can get! Hope you understand.
We are happy for all of you and can't wait to join you in the "suffering" soon

hihi ron
apologies for the insensitivity.
i think for many of us who have suffered previous losses/unstable preg, we wont be relieved until we pass 1st tri or even until we hold a live baby in our arms and that's why we are still lingering on in this thread.
hazel/chris/nell/shainie/daintreez
maybe we can move on to the ivf mtb thread.

Flowers, sometimes feeling nothing is a gd sign too! I know someone who has Twins n didn't feel anything during 2ww n in first tri! She told me she was so scared when she went for first scan.
Bbmaking, that thread for MTb is now a discussion thread for mummies n not mtbs anymore.
Ron, we will take note.

Hi hi...
Ron / Chris: All went well for the ET. Thanks
Chris: ET is really 2 min thingy.
Immediately can walk and go clear my bloated bladder.
Hazel: I'm on 2 litres of water per day due to slight over-stimulation. cant imagine yr 3 litre.
AWt: I'm on my 2ww as well. I guess quality of embroyo does matter.
But I still dont have my summary report for the embroyo yet cos there are still some embroyo cultivation going on.
They just gave me the pics for the 2 embroyo that were transferred in.
Urghh... 2 days wait already v sian. dont talk abt 2 weeks.

Hi Tanny,
I'm on short protocol too & I told dr Loh I'm prone to
Over stimulation (ohss) so I suppose short is a better option. Mm right now I eat 2 EW already a bit sian and that doesn't include immunocal drink yet. I hear that drinking lots of water helps too!
aug will be here very soon! Hehe

bbmaking, i think if u go 24hr they might give u maxalon jab to stop the vomiting?
Hello su!
Do u just drink chix essence by the bottle or heat it up? I'm trying to figure out a better way of drinking it cuz I can't take the smell. I want to faint, my mil cooked mee soto this morning telling me the soup is chix stock so it's the same. Then the egg white she prepare is also meant for mee sotoh. Mm I think the jabs r giving me mood swings :/ maybe I shld just hi-jack her kitchen and cook my own style.
Bfp mtbs,
Can't wait to join ur "club" soon, thanks for staying ard and giving us tips / advice whenever possible
Grace,
Wow 10 more days to go!)

Yeah..i do my eggs the same way too. minimal fuss, lesser things to worry abt.
Grace, I think I found my cycle partner! my 2ww is due on 13th as well.. gosh.. this is my 1st ivf and this is like taking forever and I am having moderate overstimu (extremely bloated stomach) and constipation.
Shainie: I took this del monte prune juice
(1st time i down-ed the whole bottle - 473ml, and soon after, had to go to the loo and it went from constipation to diarrhea that day. Then I toned down the amount to a glass). Perhaps you might want to try.

Hi,
I'm suppose to go for my FET this month once my period comes. However my period is now late for a week and Dr Loh has prescribed dydrogesterone to induce my menses. But this medication has to be taken for 2 weeks then menses will come few days later. The problem is if I dun take, my menses should be coming anytime soon. But if I take then FET may delayed till end of the month. What should I do? Take or wait and see? Thanks

dear all, I am also in my 2ww now, due on 15 july with kkivf. 2ww passes so slowly for me as i am also having bloatedness and constipation since ER. haizz...
I am so glad to see a few cycle partners here.
hope can learn more from this useful thread esp for first timer like me. Later i may try Awt constipation remedy if i can stomach it. thks . I only drank 2 small cups of prune juice and 5 pitted prunes yestdy. It doesn't really help leh. Its a terrible feeling. I hope i can pass thru this period soon.
