congrats sophia,
looks like lots of many dust spreading this week, 4 positive tests in a row. who else is in the 2ww?
i'm still hospitalised, doc says probably need another 2 days, earliest Mon then can go home. i must say this is the longest stay i ever had in a hospital. reading this forum keep me sane, but typing is a separate matter, using one finger at a time.

Hi Hazel,
After ER, u will experience some tenderness/sore/pulling around the sides (like what Lina said) due to the surgery + yr ovaries being inflated. they normally shld go off after a few days.
The cramps in the lower abdomen area are due to probably the uterus contracting (btw, the uterus is always contracting), when the embryo tries 2 implant/burrow deeper. For my case, the nurse hinted that i could be not drinking enuff water at nite, which is true as i dun like 2 wake up 2 pee. But i dun think i hv OHSS.
Completely agree that 2ww is veri nerve-wrecking! 4 more days 2 go before it is over. Some more DH out of town.
cheers

Hi libby, sorie for slow reply coz went T3 for dinner yesterday so didnt log in. Tampines 1 nonthing much juz like other shopping mall nonthing special. Not crowded coz weekdays. So when u ET? U gtg dr zou daily liao?
Noi, in the first place how many "dan" does ur sil have to comment place like that. Well its ok, ppl like us when went thru this journey definitely got much higher EQ then ppl who dont. I know it can be hurtful but juz tell urself to prove it to her that ur "dan" is an expensive and precious one thats y take a longer time.Cheer up

Sophia, congrats!
Btw r u on HCG jabs or insert? Dr zou told me yest that if u r on insert and tested positive on 14 post ET should be quite accurate but if on jabs then may not be accurate but it is good to see positive then negative and good luck for ur blood test and perhaps can request blood test earlier if u r anxious ro know.

Did my OSCAR test (for down symdrome) and detailed scan today... baby is well, saw 4 limbs, can even see bb fingers... kekeke. but got to wait till tmr for the OSCAR test results.
Gynae gave me multi-vits and fish oil equiv kinda pills as supplements. i will be ceasing my crinone and other progeterone tablets gradually.. and hopefully, the bloatedness and heartburn will go away too!
btw, my gynae said, it is ok to drink ginger tea and eno for heatburn

Hi lina, Mel and ladies,
just went for my 34 weeks Growth scan and appt at KKH this afternoon. It was really a LONG and TIRING WAITING day for me and hubby!
Just to share a few good news,
1)my baby boy is measured abt 2.3kg now and he is growing very well according to the sonographer. He is in head down and facing my back position which is normal.
2)My placenta has moved up, so possible for me to have normal vaginal delivery then!
3)I have gained only 100g over the past 3 weeks, and so I am 62.6kg today. Doc Sadhana said it is gd and normal, coz baby is gaining and not me(since I gained a bit fast the previous appt liao)...kekeke.
4) I have signed up for the KK premier hospitalisation A1 class package today, so one thing settled.
But the very 'siao' day today for me,
1)I waited for 1 hour at the ADC for my growth scan!
2)When I reached TPS for my appt, Doc Sadhana had to be away for some time to attend to some emergency operation, so more waiting time.
3)Hubby and I decided to make use of the waiting time to see doc, to sign up for the hospitalisation package at the admission counter. But we waited for 1 and half hour for our turn when we are only the 3rd Q no at the counter!!
4)When I rushed back to TPS at around 5.05pm (when my appt time was supposed to be 3.10pm), doc sadhana asked me for the growth scan report. I did not have it as the ADC sonographer told me they will send the report straight to my doc! So dont know whose fault then, dr Sadhana told me to get the report from ADC then and go back to see her... so my hubby rushed to ADC to get the report since they were closing soon. And finally we got to see doc. But it was 6pm when we left TPS....
Anyway, I am glad to see my cute baby after weeks, and I am still in very good mood though feeling tired.

Sophia,
Please kindly lie down flat for the next few days. Last I also tested positive with a very faint line at the positive part... then have slight cramps. Thereafter the extreme cramps came about 4 days after that then my AF came. Please avoid movement and lie flat to be safe ok.. Have to take care.. crucial stage now.

Sophia,
Congrats!! My feeling tells me it’s a true positive..especially your implantation spotting!
Libby,
The African doc is new, only been here for a few mths.. and she is indeed a French. There are only 2 review doctors in kkivf if im not wrong.. too bad we cant be reviewed by our own doctor..so need to bear with it lor..
But your lining is good leh..already 10mm.. but becos u have 400iu puregon, very fast will grow.. for me, I only took 50iu..i remembered mine grew 2mm each day..so yours will be more than 2mm..

Hi Cdah,
for me, right after the ET, rested at the hospital for 15 mins,
the day when i go home, rested in bed for the afternoon,
then for the rest of the 2ww, didn't really spend my whole day in bed.... still do housework like usual, just minimize big movements and don't carry heavy things.

Hi everyone,
I'm almost 10 weeks pregnant with twins through KKIVF-ICSI. I'm having an "all-day" sickness upon reaching my 8th week and Ginger tea has helped in settling my tummy. My preparation as follow:
1. Grate a slice of Ginger and put some in a cup
2. Put honey. If you don't have honey, you can use marmalade, jam or brown sugar
3. Pour hot water into the cup & stir.
That's it! As for the heartburn & acid indigestion, I asked Dr. SF Loh to prescribe an antacid for me. He then prescribed me a fast-acting liquid antacid, which has a very nice flavour too! It's helping me go through my sour stomach.
I hope you find this information useful.
Regards,
Twinnie

Libby,
ya always the same lady..actually she is a vietnamese.. she is a doctor in vietnam but then she can only be a sanographer when she came to spore.. apparently, from what i heard, she is very knowledgeable..but she is not allowed to review for patients, has to leave it to the reviewing doctors.. but usually when i ask her about follicle size and lining, she would share with me leh..and she also allowed me to see the screen during scanning when i ask too.
