Hi Ladies, I need some help here. I was confused with the medicine given by Dr. Zou. I just couldn't recall which to take during menstruation vs. ovulation period. The only indicator is there a chinese character 'Nei' written on one pack of medicine. Both packs are prescribed for 5 days, 2 times per day and each time 2 sachets.
Oh dear, how can I be so forgetful...I should have made clear indication... Sigh..I'm not able to contact Dr. Zou now for clarification. Anyone out there have any idea how to differentiate them (eg. by the colour, etc)? Thank you very much!!

Thks dollygal.. Cld u be experiencing ohss? Shortness of breathe is one symptom.. Another symptom is bloatedness.. Or maybe u are just like me? I can't really hear my heartbeat though.. Pls continue to monitor.. Hope ur discomfort gets away soon! All the best for yr test tomrw!
Yes, I completely understand.. So bored staying at home.. But I think by now ok for u to make short trips outside the house (walk walk a bit) but don't overdo it..

I1bb: did you do HPT to confirm? At least less have a peace of mind.
An old lady's tale: Normally a couple adopt or have godchildren, they will concieve naturally. I had seen a few cases happened like that. Like few of my distant aunties and even andy lau also. I see it as building our haizi yuan.

I'm due to start lucrin on 9 feb, followed by the long protocol. This week would be my ovulation week before I start lucrin. Would I still be able to BD and get pregnant? Would the lucrin jabs have any effect shld I get pregnant? Cos I wldn't noe if I'm pregnant at day 21 (start of lucrin)....or wld this mth's cycle be wasted to try BD?

Babysmurf,
Goa ahead n take ur nephew as ur godson. My 2nd Godson is my nephew, he got super good chemistry w my dh.
My dh usually dotes gals n my nephew is the only boy he dotes most.
My mum said my dh complained to her that I quite fierce, will scold n discipline nephew, he scared I will do that to our bb next time.

Babysmurf, good luck! I'm also ttc-ing naturally before FET. Though not very optimistic lah.. but at least i know i tried my best.
i1BB, are you testing today? Let us know how it goes?
Mamaleen, if you want to play safe, best not to have chance of being pregnant while on Lucrin cos the med might affect the foetus if not discovered early.

Ms Dandelion,
Just saw your post this morning as i slept early. hope still in time. I have taken all 3 types of herbs (for menses, ovulation & lining) from dr zou and can help you. Her hushand doesn't usually write down what the herb is for on the bag. Thus I don't know what 'Nei' stands for. But a sure way to differentiate is as follow:- the herb for menses is very dark brown/ almost black in color and very bitter. The herb for ovulation is lighter brown. smelly and tastes yucky (maybe also fishy if dr zou added a special herb). I always feel like pulking when taking the ovulation herb. Let me know whether this helps or if you any further doubts.

Everytime go scan lining the doc n nurse all say lining normal or got 8mm etc but every month af very little wor... I wonder why leh.

I wonder if I'm menopausing...

Last time, a tcm doc told mi body too warm or too cooling all nt gd for fertility. Therefore, you should knw your body nature

Dear dollygal, u felt giddy ah? Did u tell angela? Please take care hor... Meanwhile u shd walk Abit at home... Slowly walk and not too excessive. Abit walking is good cos it aids blood circulation

It could be that you are preggy now too..congras in advance,dear..feeling bloated in day 9 is a gd symptom,so just watch yr diet..for yr info,going for protein drip is v expensive..we call it albumin,animal protein..I spent ard 4k+ just or the drip during ohss..so try to avoid ya...

Hi Wendy,
I m not sure I bloated or not. Told nurse dun know bloated or fat leh,, can't tell. Hahaa
My phase not that serious but this cycle I experience more discomfort than last 2 fresh cycle. Maybe bcos this time was on long protocol. I aso realise I dropped a lot of hair recent weeks.

I1bb, when u boiled red dates water did u take away the core as corr is heaty. Actuali if u wan jus take red dates water lah as longan is heaty 1. I tink ppl take the red dates water is to keep the uterus warm right? But if u r already the warm type then will it b too warm. Just my thots
