Hi Orangey
If you are really not feeling very well, no harm going down to KK for a check. It is better to detect OHSS early..

Hi jas, its a rather difficult decision to make. But if both u and DH is comfortable with the decision then go all out to enjoy couple life! In every person life with or without kids the most important thing is to find meaning in life and cherish ur hubby and family. They r more important then anybody else in the world.... but of course i hope miracle to happen to u, take care jas..

Greenie, thanks and BFP to u!
Sofia, thanks for sharing. I thought I m the only one faced to this, feel better to know I m not the only one! also, Do you believe in confinement after delivery? Perhaps you can consider to do a good confinement , I understand that a woman’s health is likely to improve with a good confinement.
About the taugeh, I also understand that it is of “cooling” property? May b I can check with dr zou next tue again..
Baby, I went for another accu this week, its much more manageable for the second visit. But this week I ask for herbs as my sche only allow me to go for accu once weekly, so it cost me more. If every month like this can be quite ex… she also advise me to eat more fish and egg white. She commented that my body temp is on the low side, average 36.3 to36.6, which is not a body temp conducive for getting preg. She also advise no tea and no cooling stuff like water melon, cold fruits, cold drinks, and unnec desserts like chng tng and green bean soup. So from now on, also no tea for me.
Fresh, that’s such an interesting way to eat the egg white, maybe I can try that… then wat do u do about the yolk?
Fresh and orangey, hang in there!!

How are you doing? How did your saline sonogram go? I did my saline sonogram last month, just in case my mensus go haywire for aug and then delay my ivf.
I had 2 preg in the last 2 yrs, one in 2007 and one in 2008. both didn’t turn out well. But the doc say we are both fine, it was about 1yrs plus before we decided to go for ivf. But in the 1 yr, there were a few months imme after by miscarriage that I did not try because I was not ready, and there was 6 months after my rubella vaccine jab, which I cannot try.
I m trying to psych myself up by familiarising myself with the ivf procedure and learn from the ladies here. I m not sure if I can go through the whole thing, but I will try my best. Since we are on the same month cycle, we can be cycle buddies!! =)

Congrats to you.
Fresh
You have already come so far, hang on there, we will continue to pray for you and hope you will be able to enjoy your pregnancy soon. You really deserve this happiness.
Orangey
All the best to your 2WW. I think it's advisable to go KKH to check, since you also have high no. of eggs retrieved, in case it's OHSS. Do take care.
Jas
Wish you all the best, and hope you are able to conceive naturally. What about the Napro Technology you posted here last time? Think it's more for Catholics right? Whatever your decision you decide, we wish you and hubby all the best.

HI Irene, i believe in confinement. Last i gave birth to my daughter was by emergency c-section, her head was stuck in the birth canal. coz of that i didn't do the wrap. nonetheless, practicing all the pantangs and taking all the precautions are necessary in making full recovery both inside & out. i was told by my gynae (Dr Chong YS from NUH) not to conceive within next 3 years.
I took mostly cold drinks like ribena, ensure milk with cold water, meiji milk. For food, i cant take anything w/o chili, so i had mee soto/rebus with lots of chili and taugeh during my 2ww. i even add chili padi to my dishes. Of course my diet cannot apply to everybody.
But on top of all these, brazil nuts...lots of it.

HI aris...its good to do something to distract your mind away... hehehehehe... but i guess 11 days post transfer would be ok to do hpt.
HI fatbabe... brazil nuts contain selenium which helps in building up our womb lining, which in turn helps the embies to get attach better. I took ensure milk since 2ww coz the high protein content helps to prevent ohss.

Congrats and have a smooth 9 months!!!
Hi Ladies
Those of you with low BBT like [35.x to 36.3] before O and only [36.4 to 36.6 or never crossing 37.x] after O, you think could be we lack progesterone? I am like this and never succeeded till my last cycle, dr gave inserts and duphaston [doubled up on progesterone] then i managed to implant. Wondering if normal months after O can also ask for duphaston & inserts, anyone taking or know any info?
Regards
Seed

Hi Libby/Lina/Sunflower,
I called KKH Call-A-Nurse yesterday night and she told me that vomiting is quite common for IVF embryo Transfer. She asked me to rest and take in more fluid cause I told her I don't feel breathless.
She said most likely I'm bloated that's why I vomited when I drank a big bowl of soup. Had no appetite for the whole of yesterday, that's y drank so much soup hoping to nourish nutrients for my body but in the end, now all out from my mouth

Hi Irene,
My saline sonogram went quite smoothly. Just slight bloatedness and uncomfortable for a short while after the procedure. It also took few hrs for the saline solution to completely empty from my uterus too. I went for rubella and hormones blood test last week. On that afternoon, the nurse informed that I've resistance to rubella thus no need jab and blood test results turn out to be norm too. Guess I hv "passed" the test and currently waiting for the saline sonogram result to be out to see if i've any polyps. *Touchwood* If there is, doc said he will remove for me when I see him in early Aug. Not sure if this will delay my scheduled IVF in Sep leh..*scratch head* So all I can do is to wait now....
Similarly, I also trying to pick up the terms and learnt from ladies here on the IVF procedures. At least I wun be blur or at a loss when actual thing happen on me. And YES, we are cycle buddies. Hope we can catch fresh & Sofia's baby dust after our IVF!
