Hi Equin0X ,

Very sorry for my late reply as i am away during the long weekend.

You can get the gel pack at Guardian too.. I bought my second pcs at Guardian

Btw, add me on msn : [email protected]


Hi Libby ,

400IU - Pain ?

 

[buttonsjackr]

develyn, are you injecting 400iu of puregon as well?

 

[linaang]

Hi sophia,
is there something to do with the 'feng shui' of kk? wondering why so much good luck with Dr Loh and other ivf doctors at kk.

 

[develyn]

Hi Sophia ,

Ya.. 400iu too

 

[buttonsjackr]

Could be the fengshui. As long as we get the good luck, why not enjoy it as well.

I had 400iu as well. The pain was not in the injection but when hubbi took out the needle. The 'burning' session was unbearable during the first few days. I was tearing each time. I even 'scream'to let out the pain. Even my jrt was so quiet and just lying down at one corner watching. It helps when hubbi gave me a back rub but this was discovered only after many shots. We tried other methods like ice pack, heat pad, no use one.

 

[itjabi]

Sophia: yes it is my 1st time

Let's pray everything goes smoothly from here..

Twinstars: Did u do ur BT today? Or doing tomorrow??

 

[melosdis]

ltjabi - congrats... May you have a happy and healthy 9 months ahead...

 

[bkl37]

ltjabi - congrats! Take care and have a good rest.

 

[bkl37]

Fresh- Yes, my ops was done by Dr Loh, so far so good. I have yet seen him. My review appt will be on this coming thursday. Hopefully the result is good and will be starting the IVF in May/June.

 

[bkl37]

Baby-Great that you are recovering and hope Accup will help you.

 

[bkl37]

Rosypink-All the best for your IUI. Be strong and hope the hear the good news soon.

Ling, Daffodils, Hazel, Kymmie, Cday-Welcome

 

[bkl37]

Develyn-400iu, so fast you know they will give you 400iu. I thought you are still in the stage 1. Hope this round you will have a good response to the dosage.

 

[orangey]

Boon Boon,
Usually Dr Loh will look at your FSH level and then decide how much puregon he is going to give you.

The other time when I went down to see him for the first time, he say he is going to give me 150iu. I think you can ask him when you visit him the next time.

itjabi,
Congrats! Please spread your babydust to us

Hehe!

 

[develyn]

Hi Sophia,

Quite prepare for the pain

Hi Boon Boon ,

No lah.. i am still at Stage 1 Lucrin... 1st IVF on 200IU mah.. then little follicles.. so this time round , give me 400IU lor.. 21/04 will be going to KK for BT .. hopefully can start puregon lor.. But i doubt so.. haha.. cos the crowd is really bad.

 

[justnew]

Lina,

Yes raw eggwhite.

WK,

im using femine wash leh, becos i have some infections with these green discharges..
i didnt try raw eggwhite yet, no courage to take it..too raw..still prefer cooked ones.

Itjabi,

congrats!!! wish u have a smooth journey ahead.
you sore breast starts which day after ET? what about your mucus?

 

[hihihelen]

Hi Itjabi,

Congrats on your success. Have a smooth pregnancy ahead.

 

[bkl37]

Orangey-I really self prepare will be given higher dosage as Dr Loh has told me during the 1st consultation that my FSH level is not great as well as my age. So I guess will be around 400iu onward...So have to learn from Develyn on how she feels on the injection...:>

Develyn-Noted. Anyway, relax and relax. So ultimately did you achieved your ideal weight before you started Lucrin? Still continue to monitor my weight. Got some result but end up one holiday went burst. sigh ...hee hee

Anyway, not stressful as I know this month no chance to do naturally thing so can continue to exercise but due to just recovered from ops so will do a light exercise. BTW, I just signed up Yoga class so will start from 29 :>

Will only go on D8 for puregon jab, this friday.
1st cycle done last sep at careParagon.

Noi
Dunno leh, last time when i have OHSS, my gynae ask me take up to 10 eggs per day, as raw as possible. I just came back from Dr Zou, she told me half boiled or cooked doesn't matter leh.
Think it's due to my cold, I don't have much appetite so lost weight. Do not have bloatedness unlike last time very bloated, this time no symptom yet. Dr Zou prescribe me cold med to drink, she says very safe and ask me not to take western med. Think no choice now, i must quickly get well, as she mention having cold, the bacteria will affect egg growth, so scared to hear that

Itjabi
Congrats, very happy to hear that. Continue to rest well.

Twinstars
Hope BFP for you too!

Develyn
400IU ok for me, bearable

Only thing is each time took out needle, will bleed, think poke into blood vessel everytime, and got stinging feeling.

 

[chris_baby]

Hi Itjabi,
Congrats!!! Have a smooth 9mths pregnancy ahead!!

Hi humbug,
I'll be only seeing Dr Loh this coming sat 18/4. Will see wat he says.

Btw me jus kpo, which industry are you in???

 

[linaang]

hi libby,
will be safer to take Dr Zou cold herbs.

 

[libby]

Lina
Yes, will start taking today.. Hope still not too late, as today will be D4 puregon jab. No side effect like last time, so a bit worried. Hope follicles will grow well.

 

[tany]

Sick of eating eggs? try this... heheheh

 

[libby]

Tany
Haha.. your 爱心 egg

 

[tany]

Libby,
hehehe... hope my 爱心egg help to perk you up... try cooking ur eggs in different ways den wont be so boring or scary... Jia You Jia You Jia You!!!

 

[linaang]

hi Tany,
so cute and you are very creative. Do you get the heart shape with the egg mould?

 

[develyn]

Hi Boon Boon ,

Nope.. i am stuck at 71kg.. now 72.8kg after 1wk plus jab plus the microgynon pill.. lolz... but still continue to go gym and swim.. hope it maintains well before puregon.. I wanted Yoga so much but the dates just went hay-wire... haha.. So, i think just stick to exercise..hope it really helps... I will only know if all these pay off during ER & ET..

I will keep u posted..

Hi Libby ,

Haha.. i just know my first Puregon jab , i teared... cos it is painful like blood stuck in the same position.. i thought is is gtg to burst.. keke.. but this time round , will be brave to inject myself !

Hi Tany ,

Can i have that on Thursday during accup... ooppss..

 

[tany]

Lina,
Actually this is one is call 'egg in a box'...
i use my heart shape cutter to cut out the shape from the bread, crack an egg in the center of the bread and bake it... very easy to bake one...

 

[linaang]

hi develyn,
you look ok, no need to lose anymore weight. Just concentrate on the injection, can already.

 

[libby]

Tany
You really got a lot of ideas! Tks

 

[tany]

dEvelyn,
i can bake on thursday morning, bring to ofc put in air-con room, den at nite travel all the way to AMK and let u eat at 7pm+++... think by den the bread will be tough as rock liao... u wan? hehehe

 

[linaang]

hi Tany,
wow, creative leh. I thought is egg on top of a plain toast. For develyn, suggest that you just cut the shape on the plain bread, then she can toast herself and put in the egg.

 

[tany]

Lina,
hahahah... good idea leh...

 

[libby]

Lina/Tany
Think for develyn, she will ask her hb to learn and make for her to eat!

 

[hihihelen]

Hi Tany, nice job! Will the egg drop off when u hold the bread to eat cos there's a hole in the bread already?

 

[hihihelen]

Sunflower, r u having yeast infections? Read some ladies who have it here and it went away after drinking cranberry juice.

Hi Fresh, Tany
Thanks 4 compiling the list! You must hv gone thru' all the postings veri carefully to get this up. Amazing! Btw, are there 2 Sunflowers? The one I know is in 2ww. Will the other Sunflower identify herself?

cheers
Wy

 

[libby]

WY
There should be 1 sunflower only, the one at 2WW now.

 

[hihihelen]

Hi WY, there is only 1 sunflower lah. She is in 2ww now but she has also plan for ivf in Jul if this one fails.

 

[hihihelen]

Hi,

Just for curiousity if anyone can answer. Does woman of age 35 years and above conceive through ivf needs to do amniocentesis test? I thought embroyists have chosen the best sperm and best embroyo already, thus no need to perform the test anymore.

 

[libby]

Fresh
I'm curious to know too.. but read from internet before, there is also human risk, of selecting a defected sperm before under ICSI

 

[itjabi]

Sunflower: thank you

I had sore breast and whitish discharge throughout the 2ww.

To all: Thank you all for your wishes..

Lina: My HCG level is 1242.3iu. dont know why its soo high..

 

[tnt]

hi libby
