Hi Ron, how are you? At Lucrin stage? 
Hi Grace, you've done your best and I still hope a positive outcome will happen for you. See what doc says on Mon. I think they will still want you to take Bt to measure hcg level (that's what I understand from the nurse when she brief me on Thurs)
Hi sisters on pregnyl jabs, do you have sudden pimple breakouts on your face like within the day? I got 2 which got so big within today that dh kept teasing & laughing at me (he suspects its the drugs)...
Hi Blessings, congrats! Do share ur tips with us sisters here

Hazel, thanks for the reassurance. Hehe it definitely set me at ease now cuz I kept wondering about it.
I got too carried away and started skipping (lightly) my way to the kitchen earlier, then I suddenly remembered there are embbies in me. should be okay hor?
Tomorrow I'm going to ask dh to buy pepper crab for me! I've been craving for them since you mentioned eating them the last time! Hehe.

Sisters in 2ww n those bpf, no body n foot massage even if u get aches. U can use warm towels to sooth it. Our body n foot hv many pulse points which when press wrongly, can trigger contractions n bleeding.
Some sister said got pimples, use aloe Vera gel to apply. No pimple cream as dunno safe or not as it usu contain retinods which is harmful to fetus. If pimples r on the back, be careful when u squeeze it also as back got many pulse points too.

I m aching everyday. Hip joints n upper thigh joints. I hv prob walking after sitting or lying in bed for a while. Like an old lady. I dun sleep well also as I hv backaches. Lie on bk, turn left or right also aches. Just bear with it for the little one.
Abdominal area feel really sensitive n there is frequent muscle pull. When dr loh did abdominal scan I feel it even more n he told me of course I feel uncomfortable.
Is not easy to be a mother. We hv to bear with aches, tiredness n discomfort through out 9 mths. But just hv to hang on for the little ones n try not to think so much. The day pAsses faster tt way.

Hi Ladies, can I join you all in this thread?
Had a miscarriage last October due to blighted ovum and 2 failed IUIs recently. Sick of trying and has decided to move on to IVF as we have gone through a lot - blood tests, laproscopy to remove endo cyst, D & C, 2 HSGs, numerous sperm and blood tests for hb due to morphology issue and lots of hormone pills and supplements for hb.
Going to start my IVF program with lucrin injections next week. Any cycle buddies? Is puregon a standard prescription for all ladies on IVF program and for those who were given puregon, what is the dosage? During the briefing of the program, I got to know that Dr Loh decided on 300iu for me. Is it too high as I can ovulate normally? Will too high a dosage cause OHSS?

Hi Chocolate, no worries on e dosage. Believe dr would haf gone thru ur case history den decide on e dosage for u.
Previously I oso haf e same concern as u when I get to noe my dosage is ONI 200. Ask e nurse n dr whether there a need to increase,they said no nid. More doesn't mean is good. Ultimately it still depend on hw receptive e body
response to e dosage amt. So trust e dr ya

Hi ladies, I've been reading all your posts and loving it!
I started my 1st IVF cycle and did my ER just 2 days ago. Harvested 24 mature eggs and 18 were fertilized. Now waiting for ET on Tues. I'm not at KK tho, my doc is based in Mt E.
Can you imagine I did like 8 IUIs before going on to IVF? We were hoping not to have to come to that but I guess it wasn't meant to be. We've been TTC for 5 years.
Kimmy, wongval and Bbliss - wishing u big fat BFPs!

Bbliss, oh no... sounds like you're not feeling good. Maybe ginger tea or something will help calm the tummy? I know what you mean by the muscle pull. I had that the whole day on ET. But after that day it was ok. I asked the kk nurse, if I can't tahan the pain, what I can take. She said can take panadol. I did that night, cos too uncomfortable, after that ok already. Maybe you can try? I think better google first to double check what the nurse said is correct. I just believed her... haha
Wow, Sharon, 18 eggs fertilised is awesome! Good luck on Tues! You sound like you're going day 5 blastocyst?
I went on a half bladder only...
Ariel, yes, my hubby and even sister went in for ET with me!

I'm going to go half bladder, t think. Cos when I did the IUIs, I tried full bladder and was so uncomfy and when I peed I kept feeling that I peed the sperm out. I know it's not possible but somehow it's just there in my head and none of the IUIs worked.
Wongval: yes am going for 5 day blastocyst stage. I am praying the embbies will develop well till then!

Chocolate: I heard no cold food and drinks, lots of protein, even no spicy food (is that true anyone?), less or no sugar and no soft drinks, caffeine.
You should be taking progesterone supplements or jabs. I am using the progesterone vaginal suppositories 3x a day now till ET and prob continue.
