Ms Dandelion, up your egg whites intake. I took abt 6egg whites a day n sometimes add additional 10quail eggs whites too. All the best ya. Ya I'm in my 2ww now... Roller coaster ride again... Wheeeee
Rabbitpig, I oso only do accu with dr Zou. I no take tcm meds...

Rabbitpig, or u may want to change Tcm? But the taste for Tcm herbs will not taste nice.
acupuncture itself surely will help also just that we dun really feel it. Whereas if we take the herbs v can feel like our body is more warm etc. Still if no Tcm doesn't mean will not success. Some sister success without Tcm also. Watever v do v just wish to maximize our success rate. so go by ur heart, whichever u feel comfortable n relax then just go ahead.
Rabbitpig, btw my last fresh cycle I also didn't take dr Zou med. Coz I want to try try.... 1st fresh cycle I take but not during 2ww, only took the an tai Yao after bfp but still mc at wks 6. Fet I take throughout but no success. So I try my luck for not taking any herbs for 2nd fresh but fail. So now change Tcm n see... Hope this Tcm can help me achieve my goal.
Dear luvnhope,
I'm unsure why I was given pregnyll jabs, I thought its the norm but it isn't.
Dear gals,
True enough my scan today cannot see anything. Either too early or not viable. Scanning again 2 weeks later. Am mentally prepared since I've failed before. Not too stressed, didn't cry, just wait 2 weeks. My ER was 16nov, ET was 18nov. HCG reading was 167.5 then 411.4 after 2 days then 3014.7 after 1 week. So HCG levels are increasing. But I suppose there is late implantation since my HCG levels are lower compared to wat I see on http://www.betabase.info/showBasicChart.php?type=Single. So instead of 6week1day today counting from ER, I could be 5week plus only. And due to my adenomyosis and enlarged uterus, very hard to scan n see anything too. Will just wait n see.

Koala,
i'm going for scan at SGH tomorrow and possibly Mon so might bump into you.
acty, why dun you just go for IVF/ISCI? Since you'll be taking jabs anyway to stimulate. I reckon you will not be using medisave for IUI and might need to fork out $2k-$3k cash so why not go for IVF/ICSI and fork out the same amount of cash or possibly less becos of co-fund and medisave. You have better odds as well.
From what i know, SGH goes with ICSI most of the time. Difference between IVF and ICSI is just how sperm and egg meet. IVF, leave sperm and egg in petri dish, leave them to bond. ICSI, pick out the best sperm, inject it into egg. so since so much is at stake already, why dun just go for ICSI. For those whom might be keen, I spent bout close to $10k 1st cycle, short protocol, ICSI, its abit more becos of storage fees for frozen embbies, close to $2k.

Sashamama, 5weeks+ is too early to see anything. Last time my gynea scan me ard 6+ weeks and also cannot see anything. Gynea told me to be prepared for the worst. I did another scan one week later and saw my baby strong hb. So dont worry, talk to baby, tell baby to be strong and grow well and mummy and daddy love baby...

Ms dandelion, I do get those pull feel too. But quite minimal
Hi all,
I m new here but have been silently reading this thread.
I would like to share my story....
I had 2 laprascopic surgeries to remove the endometrosis and My 2 Fallopian tubes are blocked. Ivf is my only resort at 38 years old.
I quit my job, visted TCM on weekly basis for acupuncture n medicine for nine months. During my ivf procedure I only have 6 follicles. 3 empty, 1 undersized, 2 eggs. After fertilization, only 1 embryo is consider as good and the other not so good.
But my doc told me to insert both embryoes Because he believes there may be miracle. Since I hv nothing to lose I go ahead with his recommendations.
And MIRACLE did happen! I am now a mother of a lovely 2 year old girl.
Early this year I fAiled the 2nd ivf and was sad.
Nevertheless I want to try for another miracle to happen and is now waiting for my 3rd ivf result next week.

Dear ceo, hope, miracle, bbjourney,
Thanks for your encouragement. I am trying hard not to be worried but I can't seem to be fighting the negative thoughts as well as I hope. My scan was next tue, but cos I'd be in malaysia, brought forward to today. I do hope it is cos it is early. So far no spotting, no bad pains, some nausea, frequent urination.
The sac can't even be seen though. Bbjourney, for ur case, could the sac be seen during ur first scan?

I actually went for blood progesterone test today and the nurse call back and say it's pretty good more than 500 reading.. is that a good sign?? I am kinda puzzled after following thru the forum..

Sashamama, mine can see sac but gynea saw it was empty, thats y my gynea told me to prep for the worst but my baby proof my gynea wrong . I think a positive state of mind is v important as baby can feel the energy from mummy. Be positive, talk to baby. Take care during ur msia trip. Take it easy n dont stress urself.

LS : I saw four limbs coming out. And bb enjoys warmth from healing. When given warmth, bb stays quiet n enjoying in comfort.
Me : Like that is it? ( I took out my I phone and show her he Baby Lite App at 7 weeks. And I imagine my bb when I craddle, bb enjoys the warmth from me)

Kbabe : Ya, it show progesterone support is sufficient. Mine was 300+ back then. This is not the HCG beta pregnancy test result. Don't confuse between them.
Shashamama : I did my first scan at 6 weeks - that should be the time to see better. I saw my scan n HB at 6 wks 4 days. 5 weeks like considered too early. Hv a positive mind and wait a while more.. I keep my fingers crossed for ya!

Piglet : sleep v soundly at yoga inn? Just like me... hehhe, first few times I din but after that was shiok...
Dandelion : I think maybe too late. She has a course of healing lessons. But maybe u give her a call and see how? All the best ok!
Someone was talking abt Tcm - I tot dr Zou powder is the best tasting out of all the Tcm I had. Some r really disgusting taste.. Eg my Clementi Tcm and tan siew buoy ones. My Tcm powder has this Dan Shen a tweeny bit powder and say good for baby heart development in tri 1.

Piglet, you started your fresh already?
Af did not come after it has stopped on 9 Nov. I don't know what should I do now...
Karen, how are you doing in your 2ww? Don't think too much about the number of cells. Remember Janice? She transferred a 2 cells and got a positive?
