Hi mandy
At least it has doubled and that's a good indication. Meanwhile, dun stress too much over it
Hi Potato Chip
Yalor, I think I am not so serious.
I think I cannot take tang gui cos I will decrease my breastmilk supply I think. I also read one of the side effect of iron supplement is nausea. No wonder I want puke after taking it. Hee!

Hi Tomatoes
Wow really very ma2 fan2. Everything must be careful before eating. Maybe u r one of the unlucky ones to hv that side effect (same as when u have yr ER, puke so much).

tomatoes, dun worry, they say that when the pregnancy journey is arduous and difficult, the labour and delivery process wld be smooth..

Hi tnsw and Potato Chip
Me scare of yogurt now. Been eating too much of it last week
I find that I also got difficult communicating with CP about my symptoms. Initially, I was thinking very hard how to tell her that I was diagnose with endo. Then later, I saw a chinese medicine programme taking about infertility. That's how a learnt bit by bit. Hee!

Hi tnsw
Have a good evening! I am not sure which floor sandwich shop is on. I oni heard from my colleague that there is one outlet there. I have tried the Muesli toppings with apple; and Granola with honey (both are good). They also have mango, strawberry and wildberry toppings. All are nice also. It is "home-made" by the shop itself. No, not those Yami yogurt type. It is made of low fat, creamy yogurt costing $3.20 each.
Hi mandy
So good! You are on leave today. Good also, can have ample rest
Hi Potato Chip
What goodies are you looking for? Must wait long long... I think government should do more for infertility. The current so called medisave benefits are definitely not enuff as we are using our own $ also.

Hi gals
Just went to see my gynae today. He did suggest that we go for IVF but I have to do a laproscopy first. He said they need to check throughly before they can proceed with IVF. Is it scary to go through laproscopy? My hubby was quite worried when he heard that they need to open a 1 cm hole on me. We decide to do 1 more IUI this month. If not successful, we will go for IVF. however, I don't have to courage to do the lapro. Is it scary? Can anyone advise?

Hi tomatoes
I oso noe is fat hope lah. Even de medisave is not a benefit at all wat. We r just given the extra $ to spend fr our OWN medisave account. They did not give us any incentive like wat they r giving to those who r able to give birth. Wat a discrimination to us. Really a second class resident. Better don say too much or I will be sued. Already very broke with IVF, better avoid unnecessary legal fee
.
Mayb should set up a small little resort for couples going thru IVF to relax.

Potato chip is right, the law only benefits those who can give birth easily and early.....and its our own money and yet we are not allowed in our prime years to use it to the maximum for our child bearing costs...
btw, how much can we withdraw from medisave for ivf nowadays...?i already used it twice already and the second cycle was cancelled..due to poor womb lining..so i think also my money also gone liaoz..
tomatoes, i will look out for the yoghurt when i am there...and taste the yummy flavours you talk about...yum yum

Hi tnsw
The info tomatoes provided is rite.
My hb said cos our chances of conceiving is lower, so is better to invest on those who have higher chance of conceiving. They won't do "kui1 ben3" business
.
Hi All sisters
There is a website for this infertility month - www.fertilityjourney.com.sg (don expect any goodies, kekeke.. only chunk of info). Happy reading !

Hi Miko
Niang tou fu and chicken oso my favourite food. Now not in the program, I also try to cut down so that when I start my FET or IVF again, I will not crave for it that badly (esp. coffee).
Hi tomatoes/Miko
Did u do a laproscopy before cos peacy is seeking advise? I hv not, so unable to advise.

Hi Potato chips and all,
Ya pls contiune to follow -dont eat
The funny part is we are told no need to cut on caffeine (tea/coffee) soft drinks - Diet coke can drink also???
And Multivitamins which is so important during our TTC - no need to take when on program?
It's a total diff thing...
Hi Peacy,
ya i did mine in 2003 (3 yrs back so kind of 4get abt it liao) what i can remember is i took abt 3 days to be fully recovered...1st 2 days i tried to stay in bed cos a bit painful when walk...no prob if ur threshold to pain is low u can take their panadol given and go to sleep ...rest and sleep more is the best after the operation - it is just a day surgery - be strong and relax nothing very scary!

Hi miko2006
I also find the list abit ridiculous but some of the food I find quite true lor. For me, I din follow strictly except for soya, chicken, chinese herbs and vitamins.
For make up, I usually din put on much make up. Light makeup is fine lah. Dun worry. What else huh? Oh, my hubby also din take chicken when I was on the programme. One more thing (not on the list), I avoided fruits that are seedless also cos there is a research saying that seedless fruits are chemically grown (no reproductive function) so no good for those who are trying to conceive.
You basically have to eat more veggie, fish, meat, eggs or egg whites. Actually it is not that difficult if you plan your food in advance
Hi peacy
Lap is simple procedure... where it involve a key hole cut oni. I actually recovered very soon also. Just that the single stitch on the cut restricted my movement during the 1st 2 days... Dun worry, it's really not as scary as your thought

Hi tnsw
I ate mostly, fish and pork then. Beef, I know I should not eat (cos I pray to KwanYin) but occasionally I do eat abit for the protein. Chicken used to be my favourite also. Now after I got pregnant, I dun care liao and continue to eat my chicken ;p
Seafood, no problem, but eat in moderation lor
Another seedless fruit I can think of is watermelon.

Hi Miko
I also find it funny tat caffeine is not included in the list. But I tried to control very very hard to drink only half cup of coffee a day during IVF.
Luckily, I m a fish eater cos very "cat".
Hi Chemistry

so to be safe than sorry, dun eat anything which you suspect got yellow beans inside..
how about tea? some say too cooling, tts why i dare not take teh see so often..which is my favourite beverage...
peacy, wat did your doctor say? why dun ask him is it absolutely must do lapro?

other than that, the RE there never say anything

Hi Peacy
For my case, my RE did not suggest me to do a lapro before proceeding to IVF. Even after I failed my fresh IVF and FET, she also did not suggest I do a lapro. I guess is depend on the caused of infertility.
My friend who failed her IUI at SGH also asked to do a lapro before proceeding to IVF.
