Domokunn- stay positive. Nothing is confirmed until the BT. The more you feel -ve, it will affect your mood and feelings these few days. Tell yourself it is still possible, don't lose hope!

Remember - nothing is confirmed until the BT!

I see many of you mentioning BT =Blood test?
I had a BT last Saturday but its more on checking the progesterone level or something. Cos I'm booked next tues for pregnancy test.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

You ah, always tell people to be positive then you are thinking -ve yourself. Tell yourself no arrival of AF is good as least is not a confirmed No Go.

No need to walk fast fast lah want to rush to where just take taxi!! :) haha

Hello patn. Yes just that in this forum, it is usually referring to the blood test for hcg hormones to confirm whether pregnant. There are other blood tests like the one you mentioned to test for progesterone during mid 2ww.
All the best to u & your embie! Hope to catch your be dusts. Jia you! :)

hahaha...I have been testing since 6DP2DT, so every morning, it's so blue to see a single line. Bo bian one la, gotta accept lo. Cannot dream that the next day, next next day will be a +ve. Such HPTs are quite accurate. If no double line means it's a BFN. I have never seen anybody with a single line end up with a BFP.

Towkayneo, you have always been positive & strong. Hang in there. Don't give up k.

Time flies!!! I didn't get any spotting the last time during implantation though. So no spotting doesn't mean -ve. It really depends on individual body I have to say..

Yea I only lie 2 days and get backache. So better sit up rather than lie down.

I know that feeling... don't think too much about suay not suay la. It's easier said than done.
Thinking ahead of plan B is not a bad thing but stay positive k, coz thinking otherwise won't make things better. *hugs*

Has any sister brought their injections overseas before? Can you share how do you pass the customs? Do you checked in the bag or hand carry? How do you store the medicine?

Also, is anyone on short protocol? Can you share how many days of stimulation injections do we have to inject usually? Which days are being scheduled for the scan?

Appreciate your advice. Thanks :)

I brought my injections overseas before. Get a letter from hospital or clinic indicating what are the medication you are carrying. I pack the injection in the cooler bag plus lots of the ice pack together with it and check them in with the letter in it. I kept a copy on hand too in case immigration need verification. As I time my jab to be after my flight so there is no need for me to handcarry any needles and medication.

As the aircraft cargo is cold it will help to keep the medication cold. Once u reach hotel, immediately put them in the bar fridge. The other time I was on holiday during winter & there is no bar fridge, I actually went out to collect some snow to keep the medication cold. :D
 
Dreamscometrue said:
Oh.. How does it works? Can we go earlier to register and hopefully can see at the appt time or can only register at the given appt time?

Long wait means 1 hr? Don't tell me 2hrs.. 1 hr I can still tahan.. Haha
Click to expand...
Tan Kian Sing at Clementi? I waited as long as 3 hours before & the average should be ard 1.5- 2 hours. Bring a tablet or book to read while waiting.
 
I have this rashes/pimples break out on my face after day 4 ET. I look horrible. My face is oily and itchy. Is it normal? I stopped drinking the longan red date tea. Washing my face 3-4 times per day

Dearie, sounds like allergic reaction. In any case, better get checked by doc. If allergy, needs proper med treatment. Also need to make sure washing with the right cleanser and not over wash so as not to aggravate the breakout.
Hope you get well soon. Take good care k.
 
Ladies, question here. Just had the ER, and doctor ordered for me to take the progesterone jab everyday till pregnancy test. Anyone on that before? Tx in advance

Cannot one... the weekend queues are legendary. Start from 6am even though the shop only opens at 8am. Must physically queue. Usually couples go there together, and they take turn go shopping and eating during the wait. However, exception is made for pregnant ladies, who are allowed to jump queue. Before I was officially found to be pregnant, sinsei also allowed me to jump queue when I went back to him post embryo transfer.

Weekdays are much better. If I go during weekdays, I will go in about 10.30am to 11am plus... when most of the crowd has cleared. I also find that it's better because sinsei has more time so he can explain more things to me and entertain my million and one qns.

Are you planning to go too?

Just chicken breast , need to put a little bit water in ? Need to put how many grams chicken breast ?
Click to expand...
Hi hi, when you buy from market chicken breast, it comes in a pair. I used 1 side of the chicken breast. Chicken don't need to put water. The final content will be about quarter bowl of essence. If you want a bit more juice, can add a little bit of water.

Ya and another irony is this... during 2ww, you dread having to be under 'house arrest' and self enforced bed rest. But once you are required to go back to work, you get so stressed about work affecting your pregnancy that you would voluntarily confine yourself to the house again... haha!

Hi missyscopio, your clinic will issue you a custom letter of the needles n meds you are carrying. My clinic also gave me a cooler bag with ice packs of carry the meds back.

For my stimulation, I started jabbing on D2 of menses for 11 days in total including one final jab 36 hrs b4 egg pick up.

Sonique, check with u. When u double boiled the chicken breast, what is the colour of the ending essence?

Usually when we buy those ready chicken essence like brand's, the colour is black. Just wondering if we boil ourselves, is it also black?
Click to expand...
It's clear yellow. N since I use chicken breast, there's no oil in the soup.

try 2 bowls of red bean soup daily. Increase your estrogen by having more beans in your diet. Eat more egg whites too.
