hi bblow,
i was like u when i first started, lots of qns n fears. but as u move thru e treatment n with lots of frens here to seek advice, soon u ll realise u r almost there. anytime, u have doubts, can come here n share yea..
i oso went thru acu n did not cont w tcm as kk nurse advised no herbs. so i told my tcm doc n she leaves it to me.
thankfully, w acu alone, my body did respond well to e medications so far. so not to worry k, just take 1 step at a time. do wat u r comfortable with k?

hi pretyy lady & BlesswBB,
all the best to you! Will keep both of you in prayers.
I will be starting my injection very soon, cos my AF arrived yesterday. Tomorrow will be going to TMC for my scan and think injection starts tomorrow too. Quite excited, but keep reminding myself to keep cool. Just want to have a peaceful mind to go on with this journey and pray very hard for the best!

Dear ladies,
need to ask a question. Anyone took BCP b4 IVF? When AF arrive, is it lesser than usual? I usually have constant flow on first day and by second day, I am experiencing heavy flow. But this AF, I only have light flow on second day, similar to my day 4 or 5 AF. Is this normal? TIA!

Depends on individual, cos initially I oso tot during the 2wks must be extra careful but later result oso -ve...
so for my 2nd try, thk will only take few days rest at home and tat'll depends on fate liao...
remember I saw the previous thread, after her ET she when to work and only wkend she rest and she only put 1 embryo but success...
FYI- KKIVF nurse told me that the first 1 wk is the implantation so try to walk slowly and be xtra careful
Hope the above help...

hi gals,
thanks very much for all your blessings
hi rejoice,
it's inevitable on your excitement. the injection days won't be long for you before the ops. therefore keep your spirits high!
hi blesswbb,
wishing your dad a fast recovery. your bloatedness maybe a good sign. meanwhile do continue drinking lots of liquids. wondering on our days of taking the beta test, would we be informed about our results on the same day?? i too was told by nurse that longer waiting time allows for more ascertain results, but on the other, psychologically the waiting is a torment.
hi yck,
guess most induced AFs for beginning IVF are of super lightflow. like the other gals, mine was also the same, so no worries. but why aren't u taking more than a week's rest after ER & ET??
hi pinky panter,
how's your babies doing??

hi nicole G,
time flies isn't it?? no worries... it's never too late to prepare yourself mentally starting now. supposed you'll be taking the pregnyl jab (or its equivalent; on thigh) on sat if fri's scan confirms your ER on mon. u've to arrange for someone (preferably your spouse) to bring u home after ER. just remember all u need after that is rest, rest & more rest. dun worry about any other things...

Dear ladies,
thanks for your info. I called up TMC, they said tomorrow's scan will determine whether I am ready for the jab. If not will have to take 2 more weeks of BCP. Hoping for the best.
My sister's friend rested 3 days after ET. She went back to work immediately after the 3 days. That was her first attempt and she only put in 1 embryo. She tested positive and has given birth since. So, I think first 5-7 days are enough for me. Too much rest time will also resulted me thinking too much.

Nope, I was already back to work since Tuesday.. It's not so bad cos everyone seems to be very sensitive towards my feelings. But it's really tiring.. i am just worried.. you know since the blood test, i have not gotten my AF yet.. just the brown discharge.. Dr said that probably still got progesterone in my blood, so AF is late.. but I have always hear that AF is a clear indication that IVF fails.. Sigh..
