Hi Ling Ling / Baby79 ,
Dun ask abt OHSS symptoms that i have went thru' .. it is simply unbearable and i nearly give up the whole pregnancy.. Just pray hard that no OHSS symptoms appears in anyone in the world.. just one word "Unbearable"...
Hi Boon Boon ,
U always have positive mindset.. rest assure that the follicles have enough time to catch up as it is only D5 more.. Quality counts than quantity ! Jia you..
Jas - u too ..remarkable hands of Dr Thong !

Eskimobaby,
Heartiest congrats to you for the BFP
Such hgh HCG, must be twins! Take care dearie!
Nicole/Green muffin,
My heart goes out to you both. I can only imagine what you must be feeling rite now. Just to let you know you have us here to support you or if u need to rant & rave. Hope you both will take the time to heal and move on, maybe look forward to the next try if that's on your agenda
Ros,
I don't have sore boobs at all now too. Yesterday was the worst day in the history of my bloatedness. Maybe it's cos in the morning i took the pregnyl shot again. It was super hard, and super big. I was sooooo uncomfortable the whole day. Today much much better but bloating still there! Are you religiously taking egg whites everyday? Like what Lina said, I also hope that no symptoms could be a good sign too!
Jude,
Yes, i think that's the infamous Jurong TCM everyone's talking about lah. Had a chat with my brother yesterday and told him he should see k 2nd opinion before jumping into the ops proposed by Dr Chris Chen.

Nichole,
Thanks for the wish... But my BT is still a week + 2 days away. So nervous with the lack of symptoms... I am just trying my best to stay positive and hope/pray for the best.

Orangey and lingling22, oic, at least now I know cos the nurses/doc didn't explain to me...
Nicole and Green Muffin, sorry to hear the results, don't despair and don't give up! It's not an easy journey and will never be, with its ups and downs! Just try and try and try, at least you won't have any regrets later on. At the mean time, rest well and prepare for the next journey!

just curious, other than taking egg whites, could we take protein supplements to increase our protein level or is it because protein supplement is too much compared to egg whites?

Hi all,
thank you for your concern. I thought i was strong, but when i received the news my heart sunk. As i have been having cramps for a couple of days, plus the HPT test -ve, i already told Nicole that most likely a BPN. It was expected, but i didn't know it's so hard to accept.
I have quitted my job for one year. So that i can concentrate on TTC. Took TCM medicine for one year, accu for 3 months, quitted my social smoking habits for 2 years, quitted cold drinks, and many many more sacrifies. My menses used to be 35 days +/-, and stressful moments can drag over 45-50 days. And After few months of TCM and accu, my menses was 26,28 days for the past two months (which never happened before). So with all the effort that i put in, plus the changes in my menses cycle, i was really really hoping for a miracle to happen this time. Unfortunately, it didn't
Aafter i received the call, i started to question myself. WHat is wrong with me? I have done so much preparation and quitted all the food/things that may cause infertility. Had i not done enough? What else must i do to get pregnant? WHy is it so hard for me to have a baby? Is there any other health problems that i have and i don't know?? All the questions started to appear before me. (develyn, u really spotted on. This is exactly what i did after answering the call)
Like what Nicole said, it's not the physical pain but rather the emotional pain that it's not easy to get over. Mine maybe just SO-IUI and not IVF yet, but trust me, i have been through some other more painful means to TTC.
Anyway, really glad that this thread exist. Because after i woke up, the first place i turn to is here. Because no one else will understand as much as you ladies here.
Eskimobaby,
COngratulations! SO happy for u. The discomfort u have is worth it! Only by hearing more BFP news will give us more hopes. In fact, Nicole was sitting beside me, but when you came over, she just went in for the BT.
Not sure can i go straight into the ivf in jul, cos when Dr loh asked me to try SO-iui was in apr, but i hesitated till this month. WIll call them to check tomorrow.
Shall binge on all the junk food that i missed this week, go shopping (since i was grounded for 2 weeks) and start my TTC all over again.
Nicole,
we must jia you again!
Pardon me for the long message. I am drinking and writing at the same time. Hope it's not the effect of alcohol. haha....

Greenmuffin,
Please don't put the blame on yourself. I can understand the string of questions and endless whys that you may have. You've already started on the right path by quitting smoking and other bad habits and looks like the TCM has finally showed results with your reguar menses. All these things take time, maybe you'll have better luck on your next try. Please don't give up. And please don't do anything to jeopardise all those hard work you've put in all these months/past year with this BFN news.
I know some of the ladies here ahve gone through not one, but 2-3 ivfs even. They pick themselves up after each time they failed. I think that's truly a show of true strength. If they can do it, so can we ya
I know it's easier said than done. Next week, it'll be my turn. I can't predict how my results will turn out to be, but I hope it'll be a +ve one. Otherwise, I'll also be in here pouring my hearts out... Guess all of us here will have to go through that ... chin up dearie!

Green Muffin,
I think its ok to drink a little..will make yourself feel better. Do things that make you happy and be kinder to yourself during this period. You will feel better as time passes and gain the courage to try again. The right one wil come at the right time.
That's wat I tell myself aft each miscarriage. I had 4 D&C and also ask myself why why why. But sometimes there is no answer. We jus need to pick ourselves up and live again. I also make a mental list of how I am lucky in many other ways and that helps.

eskimobaby, congrats.
green muffin, the success rate for IVF is higher than IUI. If you are on IUI, maybe you can consider IVF.
