I'm going for my 1st jab in oct. what abt you ?
Wow Faith, i dont really know how to cook or use the slow cooker leh.
But yes i have cold body so your recommendation really suit me leh. Hai then i have to learn how to cook that. You think its ok if i just dump all in the rice cooker and put porridge mode to cook? Or better yet with porridge? Hai, i am such a dummy in this area.
Hi Bliss
CONGRATULATIONS..!!! I'm soooo happy for you..!!
Hi Ladies
FYI, I'll be doing my ER on Tuesday 23rd. I'm very, very nervous... And on my last scan last Sat, doc can only detect 7 follicles in me. Is this normal? I'm very anxious tho... Hopefully I can graduate like the rest of the grads...!!

Mel,Hopfully and dwi,
Thanks i am strong. Just spoke to my hubby,feeling sad but at the end of the day as i always comment what stays will stay for us what doesn't will never stay.
Anyway i think i am blabbering. Anyway spoke to my nurse this morning. But will disturb her only tomorrow(they only get to rest for one day and i don't want to trouble them). Also there is nothing that can be done. So will wait until tomorrow. Anyway i am strong so don't worry.
Mel,
You rest well.Do not take all this into your mind. Keep calm and rest ok.
Take care

Dear Kalki
Hang in there, ok! Remember Dimple's case? Will pray hard for you and Mel. You are so positive, you are an inspiration to all of us! I wish you all the best!
I will be seeing my doctor this Saturday and if he gives me the go ahead, I will probably be doing another cycle one last time. In the meantime, we will probably also put in our papers for adoption. Have to think ahead now! I want to be as strong as you. You take care!
Dear Bliss
Thanks for the prayer. I wish you a very joyous pregnancy. God Bless!
Dear Mel
How have you been doing? I'm keeping an open mind about adoption but at the same time I might just go ahead and do a 5th cycle. I'm praying hard for you and Kalki. You take care.
Dear Sri, Dwi
All the best for your ER. Don't be so worried Dwi, everything will be all right. Both of you must make sure that you rest well.

Looking for GraceBB .. Grace i went to NTUC check out Ensure and the other milk for mums you mentioned. Indeed, Ensure protein less hor? So i bought the Frisomum instead. Hmm, taste alright. Hehe, ok that will be my milk for this whole week!
Was wondering should i mix in the egg whites so that can have more protein? Hmm .. Anyway i bought 3 cartons of eggs! Goosh! Never bought so much eggs in my entire life before, wahaha

Just some small recommendation,
For those who gotta eat eggs during IVF treatment, may wanna buy eggs direct from market. There's a type of eggs huge ones with 2 yolks or twins. Cost $2.00 for 10 eggs ... or the white colour no trans fats low cholostrol egg $1.70 for 10 eggs. Better than supermarket eggs as they are injected with some hormones or preservatives or something like that... For those who are resting and not convenient to buy, might ask hubby to drop by market to buy instead.

Sam, Faith, Fellaine, Dwi, Ponytail,
thank you so much for the congratulations! I am thankful and I hope all of you will get your positive very soon too!
Kalki,
I am upset to see your posting. But that is not confirmed yet. Will wait for your latest news tomorrow. You are very positive and strong, I really admire you. Dont think too much now, ok?
I will pray hard for you.
Pooh,
yes yes I saw your posting earlier this morning. I wanted to look for the map of the temple online and send it to you. But went to my mum's place at noon until now. I will post it up for you asap.

Hi Pooh,
pls go to this website http://www.map.gov.sg/StreetMap/
and type in 'Kuan Im Tng temple' under building/place name and you will get to see the map of the temple location.
The address is 62 Tembeling road, it is very near to Haig Girls' School.
The statue of the Goddess of Birth and Fertility is in the main hall, however as it is very small statue, you may not be able to find it. Can ask the people working in the temple, they will show to you.

Aiyoh... this thread moves so fast! I did not post for a day and I'm lost. Sorry for the late reply.
Akachan,
Yes, i bought Anmum. The vanilla one also seems to have slightly more protein than the chocolate one. Its a good idea to mix the egg whites together with the milk powder. But you must pour hot water over the egg whites, wait for a while before adding the milk powder, cos milk powder will coagulate if the temperature is too high. Aiyoh, I tell you... I'm so kiasu that I also bought a tin of EnfaMama to drink in the office.
Sue,
Thanks for the info on the success rates. i've decided to leave everything to the doctors.
Bliss,
I read about you feeling stressed abt your husband's reaction. Don't be! Enjoy your pregnancy. Women (and men also lah) are made to take care of our children. Even if twins, we can take good care of them too! Our Grandmothers also took care of many children when they were young.
Mel,
Thanks for the useful info. That's what I've been trying to find out.
I ask the nurse what I have to do during Stage 1 and she just said relax.

Grace_BB,
I was stressed by him coz I was feeling quite hopeless about the result at the time, did not expect I am actually pregnant.
Yes, I am now feeling totally different and very much in good mood. And I am also feelng the same as my hubby about all the happy thoughts of taking care of our baby, or even twins!
Thanks!

Hi ladies,
Would like to know more abt IVF. My DH is having low sperm count and 0 mortility. Currently he is seeing a TCM but he can only take accunputure but not medicine due to his health problem. Can we still go for IVF? I am also having POCS. really very upset and thinking am I going to be childless for the rest of my life.
Anyone of u with similar case and manage to get pregnant thru IVF? I am actually very scared to go thru this and it is very costly + I am not sure whether I am able to success with our current situation. Any advice? Thanks!

Do not get dejected, as you read many got pregnant via fertility treatments like IVF. You might wanna give it a try.

Sam, aiya, i see your msg too late, i already bought 3 cartons of eggs.
Hai..
GraceBB, wow you bought 2 tins ah? Wow, i only have 1 tin leh and i think that might not last me thru out. Good idea, i should have 1 tin in office. OK! Tomorrow me go supermarket buy again.
Hehe.. Noted about the egg whites mixing. You mean the milk powder will become clumpy issit? I spent quite abit of time just now mashing the clumps to dissolve them.
AMK, dont think like that, you wont be childless de. Your hubby cannot take TCM issit? How about vitamins? He can take some vit E and zinc and maybe also cordycep powder, maybe will naturally help. U try ask your sinseh? Dont despair, all you need is 1 sperm. He can produce millions so the doc will still have sperms to fertilise your eggs. U check with gynae already?

Hey all,
If you guys wanna have more protein than ensure milk as it is rather heaty, take 3 slices wholemeal bread and peanut butter.it contains 50% more than ensure milk if taken in this manner.
Wholemeal bread contains 1g - 1.2g more protein than white bread.

Akachan,
Yes, hot water will make it clumpy and also reduce the vitamins contents.
Sam,
Hmmm... But peanut butter contains lots of fat leh. I am already putting on weight.

I went to go buy Ensure too this morning, but my hubby kept on telling me to go to GNC for better protine drinks... but my goodness I checked and they are so expensive!!
I rushed to cold storage to buy Ensure.. but since I wasnt sure if I would like the taste I bought a different brand that had one sacket of each flavor to try hahahaha...
Mel Wong,
Thank you so much for the details!
This is a wonderful guide.. to follow.. can kind of imagine whats going on in the body and follow the dates!
Kalki,
May I ask which hospital you go to? your nurse sounds really sweet....
Um, is anyone here with CARE?

My problem now is how to mix in the eggs in office ... hmm, have to bring the eggs and drainer then drain the egg whites liao, the yolk dont know throw where, then if office people see egg shells and yolk around, i also hard to explain, hai .. shang nao jing ah!
Awww .. i am so sleepy, feel want to sleep! Didnt really slept well last nite, the rain was so heavy and noisy!

Khaki,
think positive,
now that you have been through IVF one cycle your body is more prone to having a baby. So next time there will be a better chance than before to have a baby!
Dont give up!!!!! dont give up!!!
Akachan,
Yeah and the price is too high there at GNC. So I ended up buying the small individual sackets. hehehe
I have an idea about the egg white.. dont take the eggs to work, just take the whites in a separate container to work then dont have to worry about the shell and yolk.
Try to take a power nap during lunch extra rest is alway good for the body!

Phoemix,
Welcome to the forum!!!
Ah, Im the same age as you are hehe..this is only my oppinion, but why not go for IUI once since you have not problems...since it is so close to the natural way.
But, if you do want to go for IVF, I think Prof Wong will say OK for IVF. Just go and consult him.
In my case, I have one blocked tube tried for IUI 3 times.. 2 without medication and 1 last one with... but didnt work..
For me in my mind I know IVF would be better chance... but kind of still hard to accept what the body have to go through in IVF. My hubby is so much for the IVF... he makes it sound like it is something to do... so sometimes makes me irritating.. and the funny part is that we havent started our cycle yet..hahahaha
