Hi all,
oh dear, I have been taking Soyabean drnks and curd for the last few days. a LOT. I didnt realise wasnt suppsoed to. I am still on my E2V estrogen tablets as well, so i thought no problem. I hope this hasnt affectedhe embryoes...
I still dont feel anything at all, and in fact am having some menses "flow" feeling, but when i check, it's nothing there. Dunno why. Anyone else had that feeling too?
Babychloe,
Sorry to hear about your dad. All the Best. Hope he responds well to treatment and you can then enter IVF process with some peace and positivity which is so important.
All the gals having hcg test today,
ALL THE BEST !!! look forward to BFP +++++ from all.

Rest well at ur mum's place. Will miss u but hope to hear good news from u.
Hope some good news will be pouring in today. Good luck, ladies !! stay positive
Nicole/ML
Yes , cant agree more. Not sure how many lies i have said since TTC. Sometimes those not very close ask abt starting a family, will just pretend that kids are a nuisance and we both enjoying the peace. Sigh, next day we could be making a trip to the gynae for IUI...
Anyway, almost all is over. Now have decided the IVF route. Only tell immediate family members and the rest only confirm pregnant

Kymberly - Those tonics I mentioned have to be self-double boiled with fresh ingredients as TCM Drs felt those ready made kinds are diluted & have preservatives. Black-bone silky fowl had twice as much of the anti-oxidant called carnosine as ordinary breeds, a tonic and nourishing food to treat women's diseases, enrich the blood, and build up health. All chickens have carnosine so if according to Vanilla, you shouldn't be taking any chickens throughout your pregnancy then. Chicken Essence is safest as it's just chicken juice, need not put any herbs.
As for bird nest, it consists of high valued glycoprotein, rich with amino acids, carbohydrate, calcium, sodium, potassium, and many more. Within its active protein are catalysts that contribute to the regeneration of cells. For expectant mothers, it enhances the immunity of the fetus and speeds up convalescence after delivery if taken during & after pregnancy. Do read the following thread:

And where to get the Black chicken essence ?

double boil means cook the soup using indirect heat. The soup cooked is placed in an inner pot which is then placed in an outer pot filled with water. The water in the outer pot will be heated and this cooks the soup in the inner pot.
ya ya.. you mean got black chicken essence? where to buy?

hi
i also din tell my family abt my intention of ivf, i find it hard to face them if it was not successful. i was pregnant last yr, n i told my mum immediately after i know, however, the embroy stop growing in wk7 n i had a MC. then i had to break the news to her, which i just could not do it myself. in the end i sms my sister and ask her to help me break the news. n every wkend, when i return home to visit them, i just wanted to act like nothing had happen b4, but just can't control myself when they'r specially nice to me n i hid inside toilet crying.
So tis time i'm not telling them.

Hi Ladies,
Just back from Clinic, Sigh!!!!! Urine test shown a "Fade line" and was told the pregnancy chance is very slim.
Reason: The embroy may be implanted but due to weak womb/Linning too thin, it drop off cos unable to hold on to it.
Anyway, I am prepared for the worse so go for a discussion this saturday and see what can be done b4 next "FET"(luckily still got 2 frozen eggs).

actually i did the stimulation jabs in jan last year but my body was not responding to the medication and did iui instead...not successful.Then, i tried again in june and managed to retrieve only 7 eggs and only 2 were fertilised. Did ET, rested for two weeks, lying on bed most of the time but still not successful. under the same doc for the above attempts.
so, i decided to change to Dr SF Loh and i told him abt my previous doc. He knew my doc and told me that he was rather inexperienced. Was shocked to hear that and angry coz spent alot for the first two tries.
Dr Loh is very nice.. he is very confident of what he's doing. Even heard him whistling while doing ET for me. But be4 i embarked on the 2nd ivf,i did change abit of my diet. No more cold drinks, no more soya stuff, eat healthily, eat whole grain bread every morning, take multi-vit and royal jelly(before start of 2nd ivf)

oink oink,
got fade line means pregnant already woh, just tt its still early so the hcg lvl still low.
Lining n weak womb can take "dupherson" (dunno spell) to strength.
Did Dr confirm embroy drop off liao? if not try testing again afew days later, the line might get darker.

Did u do another urine test at home ? Sometimes can be too early to tell. Maybe do a blood test more accurate. Think positive. We are cheering for u here

May i know which doc u were with for the first IVF? Luckily u are made the gynae switch. I had a bad experience with previous gynae too. Did 3 failed IUI with him. He should have advised me to check the tubes FIrst before IUIs. Wasted all the $$, time and effort

Dear Oink,
Don't be too upset yet my dear. Do try to stay as positive as possible until the blood test day. Quite strange that they sould say such things to you b4 doing any bld test esp if there is a faint line seen.
If you are doing acupuncture u can go andhave an extra session to "hold on" to the embryo... that's what the 2ww acup is for according to my acupuncturist.
Please hang in there for you embryoes...

Oink - Try to lie on bed & do nothing till blood test result is out. Any chance also must seize it till proven confirmed whatsoever. Be cheerful & talk to your embies.
Others - Pls do some research before claiming that! My TCM Dr said both black chicken & bird nest are neutral, neither cooling nor heaty that's why can consume weekly without fear for women. Do a google search and you'll find it co-relates my Dr's claims. Its the herbs you double boil with that turn them into cooling or heaty tonics. Read on-line that no dang gui after ET till 2-3 weeks after delivery.

if i am not wrong, if u boil directly the soup will evaporate fast and not much of the essence is left. and also indirect heat will sustain the essence of the ingredients more

thanks! they haven't officially offer yet. Will tell them that i will only be available after the FET. But just scare that FET fail then i got big headache. new job not as flexible. will be difficult to continue with IVF...
sigh... why life so difficult? I want to be a man next time!!!!
erm.. i like to eat ginger stuff but i hate to drink it leh... wah... red dates and ginger is good for the 2ww?

Dont worry the FET will be positive 
Well, the TCM dr says I am too heaty and yet my womb is cool, so she says i have to drink ginger daily and avoid cooling things and red dates are sweet nd neutral, so gives some flavour... quite nice. During my 1st IVF, the ladies were also drinking this, so i just continued...
I was just on internet reading about dang gui and ba zhen etc, so confusing, cannot get a concensus, so i think i will just leve it. If fail this round,then can think about it. Hopefully no need....
What to add the whole black chicken we buy from cold storage? any suggestions? recipes (that's safe for 2ww) ?

Hi oink,
Dun think too much, stay positive n wait for the blood test result.ok..
Hi Noi,
Hb forbid u to use computer during the 2ww.. Tell them tat atleast with this chatroom, u can pass yr time better , motivated and less stressful ...I m like U... doing nothing @ hme this 2WW , i staring out of the window daily . Finally i realised why my niece doesnt want to cme my home ( coz she is jailed here for 2wks when she is infected w HFMD.. )so i realised tat i will be bored if i cant even log on here...
Hi ML ,
First, u got to chk w Dr LC Cheng.. Coz that TCM Dr is recommended by TMC so he said ok to go ahead after my ET..
I took the TCM med few months before this FET. During this FET, he prescribe another med for me to take druing the whole FET. Dr told me to continue the med after D4 of ET but when i called him again on D4 , he ask me to delay to D7 coz i have some uncomforts.
