Lingling-I am under KK and today is the second day for puregon and my dosage is 500iu. As I am on short protocol so it is a bit shorter compared to long protocol so I think your menses only report during lucrin stage and after than no more AF. I think the way on how to inject should be the same just only the drug and the tool are different.

Hi Ladies,
Thanks for all the well wishes again *wipe tears* heehee... miss the camaraderie in the forum. Sorry replied so late. I took a nap just now. Hehehehe ...
Jude: I only transferred 2. If you transf more than 2 you can't qualify for the govet grant, I think you know that right? Yes ... putting in more technically increases your chances of one embie sticking, also means higher chance of possibly getting multiples too!
I guess at the end of the day it's your choice aye
LYn: Yeaaaaa! You finally started your cycle liao! All the best! U'll get used to the jabs, don't worry!
Boon Boon: Can I add you on MSN too??
Lina: Hope you're doing great and pregnancy's going very well and smooth!
PS: I'm feeling super bloated now. I swear it feels like my tummy's gonna explode at any time. Feels like as if I've eaten a cow or sumthin' !!!

Hi Sierra...
You are in ur 2WW too??? Same here. We seem to have quite a number of similar things... JUst like u, I am under Dr Sadhana too. Very nice Dr. SHe has been doing my surgery and so far I am very happy with her explanation and the way she treats me in general.
ABout the embryo... dont worry about the numbers ok. I only have 2 fertilised too. PUt in 2 none for freezing. What's important is that the embryo will stick and continue to grow. UR ET is on the 12th? My ER was on the 12th so I am just a few days behind you.
ABout the bloating, dont worry. I am having it too... My tummy looks like I am pregnant (hopefully true after the 2WW). Walk a bit only and I am super tired. The bloatedness is causing me difficulty to breathe too.
I am praying for a BFP for both you and me... JIA YOU!!!!

Hi Ladies,
Just had my first jab of lucrin, was pretty scary I think! DH was nervous and I get nervous too. He was like talking and pointing the needle at me and I got so scared! Lucky, it wasn't painful just a little sting with the first poke and he forgot to hold it for 5s! Ah... I think practise makes perfect. I hope both of us will perform better tomorrow!

hi develyn
dunno if u still have MS.. but came across this article on the internet when i was browsing.
see if any of you ladies need this info.
Combating Nausea
To accommodate your more sensitive sniffer, avoid strong smells. Garlic, onions, fried meats, and heavily seasoned foods may throw you into dry heaves. And it's not just foods, advises Erick. Laundry soap, shower gels, perfume, cologne, diapers, dirty laundry, garbage cans, work place chemicals, and gas stations, can also trigger nausea. But you can't avoid every smell. Erick has a solution that's been working for her patients for years鈥"lemon therapy. "I look at sniffing a lemon as putting a fence around your nose," says Erick. The lemon shields your nose from offensive, nausea-causing odors and may even have the side benefit of offering you some stress-relieving aromatherapy. If you're not a lemon fan, consider dousing a handkerchief or small washcloth with another scent that calms your nerves鈥"and stomach. Pack a soothing scented lotion in your purse and rub some on your hands and neck for relief when you're on the go.

hi axjess
hugs, hugs, sorry to hear abt your lost. i just being thr tat N for sure i noe how u feels. it's good that U order the confinement food. I've been drinking the red date+longan+ginger drink for the past 2wk and i bring it to office too. I found 2 places that sell pig trotter vinegar. One is at yishun blk 156 st 11 (diagonally opp North point), its below a HDB block and the other is Crystal Jade resturant but they oni sell it in the AM. U can pm me on the name of the yishun store, if U need.I took chic essence every AM and drink DOM every nite. As for aircon or fan, i was also told that Aircon is better than fan. Continue to rest well while U r on MC, take care hor.
btw, i overhear fr radio, a gynae advise his patients who had miscarriage, can try again 6mth later. this is cos, our womb needs to recover and we can build up our body again. Take folic acid two mth before u try
Libby, how long do i need to drink DOM? dun reali like the taste but i will persist as it's good for me, rite?! It's exactly 2wk past D&C, i can resume my normal diet now, hahah

i guess every gynea have diff view on the no of mths to wait before next try...
cos that time i did dnc to remove my polyp.. dr only ask me to rest for 1 mth... but i dint even rest for 1 mth... i straight away did iui the following cycle... i think i too kiasu liao... but i guess its good to rest for a few mths before embarking on tcc again...
i dont know whether removing polyp and dnc the same or not...cos i read the procedure to remove the polyp is also using cuttege... like dnc...dr also need to srape the uterus lining to remove the polyp..

Ladies with KK,
Lucrin stage don't need to go hospital every two days rite? Only need to do that Puregon stage rite? And usually hosp appt don't last very long rite, jus a few hour in the morning? Need to be prepared..Thanks for answering my questions.
I enjoyed the accupuncture. Yesterday was there for the second time and there was an apprentice Dr with Dr Zou. She said she may be doing the accu for us in future! When I ask her why and is DR Zou going to be away, she changed her story and said that shes jus helping Dr Zou cuz clinic too busy. I sure hope she doesn't replace Dr Zou. I like Dr Zou.
Develyn, when I was doing my accu, Dr Zou asked why I not working. I said that I quit cuz IVF. She said there was one girl who got terminated fr her job once boss find out she IVF, but luckily now successful with twins. Must be referring to u. Gd luck for your scan. Your symtoms so strong, sure no problem. Baby dust please...

Hi Die and Haze,
I was at Dr Zou yesterday evening too. Agreed that the new Dr not so good. She is not that gentle and very painful when she poke my legs. Dr Zou was more gentle.
Overall first time experience not that great but bearable. For the sake of BFP, will endure. I have a 50 Cent bruise on my tummy! Going to brave the needles again on Sunday!!

Sierra-Please add in.
Jas-Good to hear that. In fact, when I changed my IVF protocol, because I know I may not have so many follicles as younger or long protocol patient so I just roungly checked with Nurse how many follicles will be retreived under short protocol (generally). She told me really depend on individual but then she said as long as can retreive 4 consider good already..so you have 6 now and believe there will be more later so please continue stay positive. If I can see above 4, I think I will feel happy too...Let's Jia Yu!

Hi Die,
At Kk for Lucrin, you only need to go back after the 1st week for BT and Scan. If Okay, they will ask U to go down to start your stage 2 puregon. For this, U will need to go down for scanning every few days. But if you are the lucky ones with eggs growing beautifully, then fewer scan and earlier ER. Good Luck!
