Hi ladies
I thought I posted this afternoon but somehow can not find my post. Just wanted to update that I went for my first jab of puregon. Nurse skills was really good and it was not painful although my dosage is 375. Tomorrow will be a different story as my hubby will jab me! Next appointment will be on Wednesday.
develyn, sue and equinox
please update us on your follicles growth and ER date

hi libby,
they are so forgetful, didn't call you. Last time i did FET, after 2WW, was too nervous to call for BT result. I waited until last hour before clinic close to call them. They totally forgot to call me.
Hi equinox,
i have checked with nurse before, the jab can be taken at polyclinic at no charge. But think waiting time at polyclinic will be much longer. However, you can save on travelling time and cost.
hi ltjabi husband,
i am sorry to hear that. Do stay strong as still have one baby. Don't worry, we will console her when she is back.

Dream, must have faith in our hubby's skills lar. alot of sisters here commented that their DH have graduated as "nurse - injection-only nurse. so, dun worry. but you must really relax yourself as DH can feel the when muscles are tensed. once my DH poke in and pull out coz he felt really tensed! i gotto be poke twice that night!!! Lesson Learnt : RELAX!
Ladies, my ET went ok. thanks. My two precious embies are inside me now. 2 cell stage this morning. their development is rather slow in the lab. Hope they'll love my womb environment and grown healthily and stick steadily.
btw ladies, definitely i can walk around and no need to bed rest, rite? sitting upright and watch tv also can hor?
Pari, welcome to this forum.
Saw rainbow this morning while on the way for ET. i believe today is blessed with HOPE. do rest well!
with the rainbow over the sky, i believe Equinox, Sue and Develyn will be blessed with the bext results, and ER should be either mon or tues. am i right? Ladies, Best of Luck!
Ladies, there's another visit to the hospital on 8 May for a scan before the BT. anyone knowa what's that scan for?

Hi Gloria .... were you at the OT at around 10am this morning I think maybe you were the one I spoke to.... I told you I only had one embryo but Prof told me there were 2. You so good you knew what stage your embies were. How can I find out. Prof just told me that he transferred 2 nice embies

Hi Gloriajeans
Just would like to share with you my experience during 2ww. I definitely did not lie in bed the whole day, not even after I came back fr my ET. In fact a bit of walking ard the hse is good for blood circulation in yr womb, as advised by my nurse. After that, everyday, I will take a walk in the park nearby to change air as staying at home the whole day will drive me nuts. I still got BFP. Some ladies in the forum will advise complete bedrest. Quite divided views. The 2nd week, when I slowly regained my energy, i became more active ie walk/stay out for a bit longer. Wishing you BFP, BFP.
hope you find useful,

I wish i am... I have been feeling cramp since last night, hopefully it's a good sign.. but it can be anything too..
Equinox
Hope you will get well before your ER. All the best to your ER. I took Dr Zou's flu med before, and recovered after finishing the 3 days dosages.
Lina
They can't imagine how nervous we are.. waiting for their phone calls.. our happiness depending on this phone call. On thu, i was very tired but din dare to sleep as kept checking my hp, in case they call me to increase dosage.. only after 5pm, they still din call me, i was so so relief thought my progesterone level is ok.
After my jab this morn, came home and informed me it's not enough, need to rush down. I mean that is still ok, just that i've not taken the additional dosage since ytd, just pray it doesn't affect my implantation progress.
Die
Thanks a lot, i will really cry (of joy) if i'm pregnant, singleton or twin.
I understand and also don't share as much with my hb, as din want to stress him more.. am very happy we're able to share here. When i just quitted my job, i was feeling low and lack of self-worth, but we have to adjust our mindset. We can always work next time and earn back money, but our biological clock will not wait for us. Having a better quality lifestyle now, is towards the goal of becoming mommy, and that is our priority.
Dream
I'm sure your hb will do very well and promote to be a nurse, have confidence in him.
Husband of Itjabi
We are praying your baby will be growing well, and no more bad news to happen. We will talk to Itjabi when she's back, don't worry.
Pari and Gloria
Glad to hear that both of you had a smooth ET. Both your embies will stick tight tight to you

Gloriajean, during the 2 www, I was taking brazil nuts, ensure milk, egg whites everyday or every other day. In a week, I will be taking 3-4 times of chicken essence or bird's nest or self-boiled chicken soup combined. Not sure about durians thou' as you should be avoiding foodstuff which will give u a stomache upset. Also, avoid cold drinks. Take folic acid at least 400mg/day. Implantation normally happens during 1st week of the 2ww, apparently between 5-7th day of embryonic life, based on what the doc says. If you had D2 ET, it is 4-cell transfer, so everything is normal. D3 will be 8 cells. Mine was D2 ET too.

so for the sake of our hb, we got to be postive and keep trying ya.
