Chris, praise to the Lord! Ur desire has finally come true! I'm so happy for u! Is really not up to what we do or eat but the one up there cos God is the creator of lives! May the Lord bless you a healthy and smooth pregnancy. I will cont to trust and have in Lord to bless me with a BFP too.

Bbdream, don't imagine things, go do something to occupy ur thoughts. Me too also having af like sympthons but not gg to think too much about it. We have tried our best le.
 
Hi Chris, thank you so much for sharing your success with us. I am grabbing tightly to your baby dusts and hope to BFP soon. Please take good care of yourself and wishing you a smooth and healthy pregnancy. Cheers!
 
Bbdream, that might be a good sign. Before I was tested positive 2 yrs back, I experienced menses like cramps but I found out it is actually a sign of pregnancy. Don't think too much. When is ur BT?
 
Thanks Chris. Did prof recommend those three procedures? Is it under ivf cost or outside? Mind if I ask how young r u and what is the total cost for this cycle. Meanwhile take care. Pray giddy spells should ease for u soon.
 
Dandelion, is urs medicated FET ? Wat makes u choose to do d5 blastocyst tsf ?

I b embarking on mine soon hence reali wish to hear more sharing on MFET.

Btw, lot of sisters here say food like durian, chix essence, red bean etc. Are these suppose to take only during 2ww or can take be4 hand on in preparation for e FET ?

Sisters kindly pls share yr advices n knowledge.
 
Hi Bliss,

I'm under Dr Loh for MFET and bfp in may
happy.gif

My embbies are compacting as i'm doing d4 transfer (I had a d3 transfer for fresh, thus embbies are already d3 when frozen)

durian -> good for implant but heaty, I took for 3days (3seeds each day) 2 days after my transfer
self brew black chix essence -> once every 2wk, start before cycle
red bean soup -> before et, if lining is thin... (I did not take as lining already 13mm on cd13)
brazil nuts (heaty, took 3 each day) and ensure are good for implant too... u can start to take now..
 
Twinstars/winniepooh: God bless your upcoming plans!

Babybaby: I hope you have your success on the upcoming venture
happy.gif


Sara: Hysteroscopy and endo scratch is outside of IVF cost. This time is about 11k, paid some cash. I am 35 this yr. thanks for well wishes
happy.gif


Bbliss: red bean soup is used in prep for lining. chicken essence is like tonic that u can take before, during and after 2ww
happy.gif
Durian like brazil nuts for implantation hence during 2ww. Take care and may success be w you!

Hi sparkles (baby_sparkle)/ Baby step to our rainbow / sara

I am so with DR Tan HH too and my first IVF cycle also this coming July. Me also given medicine for 21 days to supress mense but given provera instead of Nor-e. I still left 3 days medicine. So prediction my mense should be coming on Sat or Sun. should be 8th july, When it come i call up and make appt to go down to scan and learn how to take the first injection.

Today i received call from KKIVF, regarding my high prolactin level, given instruct tat allow me to carry the first IVF in July but given a medicine to destress. Maybe we will see each other during our scan?
 
Hi Dandelion, thanks for the kind words.. The cramps r mild n not always there. But now i trying to cope with the backache i assume caused by the progesterone jab i had yest. Its terrible..
 
Thx Chris n lynhope for yr advice n sharing.

Me juz had my polyps removal surgery yesterday. Nw feeling rather crampy nw
sad.gif


Lynhope, wat is compacting embbies ? Hw many are thaw for yr FET ?

So far, I only drink ensure. Ok... Will start taking Rest of food starting today.

Likely my MFET is at end July. Kinda stress as I dunnoe hw e turnout will b.
 
Hi Chris, Congrats!
Was touched by your sharing and happy to see that your faith remains steadily strong amidst this trying period. May God sustains you throughout your pregnancy and may His favours remain with you always.
 
Hi Ladies.. Those in kkh de.. I checked thru my file n i did progesterone blood test there on day 8 b4 my blood test on day 18. Mayb can call kkh to check? Cos i just did my 2nd fresh cycle with kkh last year
 
Bbliss, mine is natural FET. I decided to do blastocyst cycle based on Doc's recommendation. He proposed this because I have 1 kid and 13 snow babies after 2 were used for my fresh cycle. A blasotocyst cycle has higher chances of success each time. However, also more risky as 6 were taken out to thaw at one time. Of course, e dish is still a foreign place to them. So whichever survived and grew is a strong and supposedly, good one.

Praying that they will a stick close close to me and implant, implant, implant! But I always feel tt I stressed my abdomen muscles as I get up n down the bed n stairs. Sweat!
 
Chris - thanks for the bb dust and have a good and safe pregnancy.. stay happy!!

magical - please stay positive..
happy.gif
i always think it is important to stay positive and also to do visualisation..

babydream - no leh, i am now with kkh, after my transfer yesterday, they say see me on 16th for BT.. no additional blood test in between.. Quite different from my first IVF with careivf...
 
Bbliss: Np, take care of yourself ya.

Hopemiracle30: Thank you
happy.gif
To be frank, I started this journey w a lot of fears, disappointment, tears but through it, God grew my faith and let me see things with a different eye. He is the One not me.
happy.gif
Thank you for blessing me

Babysteps: I wanted to tell you something will help ease your mind. I know you have platform bed and so do I. I actually move bedroom during 2nd cycle cos I am trying to minimum straining or using abdominal muscles. Come to think of it, quite crazy. So this time I stick to my own bed. Haha. Each time I get up from bed, I use my sides as much possible, supported by my hands, straighten up and pause a few seconds before walking. If I feel tension in abdominal anytime (standing, sitting, lying down), I use deep breathing (slowly breathe in, hold then breathe out slowly), it helps a lot with any discomfort in abdominal. Dandelion, u can try too if u feel u are stressing the abdominal muscles. We will definitely have to use abdominal muscles in anything we do, deep breathing helps to calm your mind and muscles

Hi, anyone tried Raffles Hospital TCM? Would like to know if they go by queue number or appointment? If by appointment, do they stick to the appointed time or still have to wait quite a while?

The IVF booster package consists of 5 sessions. Anyone knows how are the sessions timed, before or after transfer?

Thomson medical also has tcm ivf package. Anyone here has success with it? Anyone tried the clinic at united square or 112 katong? Is it by queue or appointment?

Thinking of either Raffles or Thomson for tcm.
 
Thanks, Chris. U r so right, everything we do seems to activate e abdominal muscles. Never felt it till now. Mine is a Day 5 transfer. Got to b really careful these few days.
 
Chris - Thanks for the advice.. My.previous cycle I did try to remember to not use my tummy muscles to get up from.the bed.. But the number of times I forget definitely surpasses the times I remember.. Haha..

I'm really trying to relax this cycle.. Hubby told me not to read the forum this time and stress myself but I told him, the forum actually helps me more than stress me. I was contemplating going back to tsb for med and also dr zou for accu but after thinking, I think I will stick to only dr zouu and do an after et accu.. Its v difficult to really let go and not worry but will try my best.. once again Congrats girl! I'm really really very very happy for you.. i was all smiles when I told hubby about your good news!
 
Wow... Dandelion, that means yr 2 little embbies r strong warriors ! ;)

Lynhope, since u r MFET, when do u start taking e proygona tablets huh ?
 
Dandelion: I struggled for a long time on "do nt use abdominal muscles" and finally concluded its impossible to do yet a part ir me still wanted to heel the advice too. It was by chance I realize deep breathing works great and God-inspired to me. I was also v concerned about what I thought was contraction going on in that region every cycle I had and wanted to minimize it. I am thankful to 2 sisters here whom kindly gave feedback when I asked if they experienced it before since I have no idea if that is normal. I think deep breathing worked great
happy.gif
but might need some practice to do it correctly. I know that deep breathing helps also from Tcm point of view.

Ah, I also practice deep breathing during the Accup session when I am left alone for that 20mins for abt 5mins, helps to calm down and sleep I think. I just thought it might help in blood circulation and do some good to body.

I am glad I went to Dr Zhu from Hua Mei at Bukit Merah cos they pretty much follow the appt time and cut down the stress of long queue.

Babysteps: try to remember ok? Since I had that thought of platform bed, I thought better to let u know also so u dont need to go change bed or bedroom.. Haha. On forum, do what you think helps you ba.
happy.gif
guess just do what you think is right for u and don't worry already cos worrying don't change anything but add "load on your back". Hehe.. Thank u.. U my cycle buddy leh.. I know how it feels when it failed for me and cycle buddy succeed, it's not easy so don't give up ok, JY JY!
 
babydream - not too sure about last time.. perhaps it is a case by case basis?
This makes me miss careivf very much..
sad.gif
i was just telling my hubby that mabbe i should call care and use them for 2ww support? wahhhahaha...


babysteps - that was what my hubby told me the last time.. wahhaha.. i blatantly ignore him of cos.. i think the support here is tremendously fantastic!!!!
 
Carrieb, I go to Raffles Hospital for acupuncture. It's by appt. Don't usually hve to wait long, unless it's Sat. Hve to do both before n after. One package is usually not enough, hve to pay for a few single sessions after package is used up.
 
Dandelion, it's actually for my cousin. She's doing acupuncture twice weekly with dr zou. But she finds it too stressful to queue around the time of retrieval and transfer.

Do you think if Raffles Hospital is ok if she only take up the ivf booster package just before retrieval?

May i ask if you bfp with Raffles tcm?
 
Chris - I think I will still come in to kpoh and chit chat.. But stop Googling already.. Hehe..

Mel - I agree! Love the support and advice everyone gives here.. Feel "at home" whenever I read the chatter in the forum.. =)
 
mel - the support here is really good! a lot of seniors cheer me on during my cycle in 2010 & that help to keep me sane.... couldn't imagine what will happen if there's no support from here
 
Babysteps:
