Hi Maggie
Are you on pregnyl jab every 4 days? When are you starting the jab? Did you have any support right after ET? Hope you can explain to me as i most probably will be on injection due to low eggs retrieved. Thanks.

Thanks, Maggie Mee!
Babygalore,
Wow! The lady had 101 follicles retrieved? OMG, that's really really really a lot man...
I hope she BFPed.
Hi oxidised,
don't be too nervous. if u happen to inject a blood vessel, just press down firm on the spot with the alcohol swab for about a minute or so. don't rub the spot as it will leave a big bruise. Just press down on the spot for about a minute or so. And if no more blood, then it's ok liao.
I also strucked a blood vessel once and din know and went to rub the spot but kanna a big ugly bruise instead. So, Dr. Zou tell me don't rub. just press down firmly on it to stop the bleeding and at most just a small small bruise which will go away very fast one. So, after that I'm quite ok with it liao.
Just take it easy. I'm sure yo uwill get through it smoothly!

Hi Dec
Thanks. I encountered the same problem with Lucrin jab few days before ER. The needles were hard to push in. Think your jab is ok as this is to prevent overgrown of the eggs after tonight shot.

Greenie... yes! im on pregynl jab every 3 days.. but its ok .. cuz its on tummy fats!! Not so painful juz like lucrin..
Straight after ET, i came out and had to go for my 1st pregynl jab on the spot.. den go back kk every 3 days to jab.. tml will be my last jab liao... total 4 jabs. And nurse did told me after pregynl jab stomach will feel bloated... so as you can guess... my stomach bloated since ET till now loh....
So i know now is cuz we got less eggs retrieve so we get jab instead of inserts... no wonder.. me only 9 follicles retrieved mah..
Now my 2WW is at the last week.... i can't help but keep hoping i will BFP... sometimes i also think n prepare myself if i BFN... haha... jus imagine both scenarios to mentally prepare myself...

Don't think so much..praying hard for your BFP too.
Out of 9 follicles, how many fertilised?
Can share of your symthoms?
Phew..the jab is at tummy? I thought will be on thigh again..think of the long needle a bit scared although no pain at the end.

hi ladies in lucrin & puregon stages, when i was in the lucrin stage, i also find that it gets tougher to jab the needle into the fats, so i asked the KKH nurses when i was there to learn the puregon jab, the nurses told me that as we jab more, the area where we jab will hardened slightly, so the nurses advised us to choose a spot that is different for each jab, ie, spread out the jabs as much....i did that n it's easier to jab liao...

Minnie,

hi Minnie, i timed my water drinking before the ET, cos i m also afraid that my bladder will be too full and i need to relieve myself after the Et (which is something that i don't want to do immediately after ET).
My ET was 1130am, so i drank 2 cups of water every half hour during the 1 hour before ET. This is in addition to the instruction given to u to prepare for the ET. By ET time, my bladder is full enough for the scan & ET but still enough time for me to tahan till home to relieve myself.
when i reached home, i relieved myself & rest myself on the bed with bolster underneath my bum so as to elevate my pelvic. I was in that position for 1 hour but i lied on the bed the whole day (except toilet & meal beaks). I m not sure whether this work but just do whatever i can that i think may help.

hi fancy, my ET was on 14 Aug n my BT is on 31 Aug, hopefully our birthday month will bring us best of luck!!! Thanks for the baby dust!!! Grabbing n will keep tight tight in my womb!!!
. Will leave some for Meow to keep in her womb too!!! She is having the same BT date as me. Maggie mee is on 2nd Sept, we will give her our baby dust too after we BFP!!!.......talk as though meow & myself will sure BFP!!!...hahahahaha.....
hi fatbabe, your blood test shows an increase in HCG, i think may still have a chance....talk to your babies, ask them to fight on & be a strong survivor, tell them daddy & mummy wants to see them, wants to play with them. Keep talking to them....even if you r not sure of the chance, still give it a go, do whatever u can to help them. Give it your best until the doc gets back to u!
maybe, u could continue with the nuts, milk, water, chicken essence, no harm i think...just in case...

no.. the lady din't get preg. And with regards to the jab, when you jab in and push in the medication, release the pinch on your stomach then the med will be able to flow in properly. not sure if that's the issue. But that was what happen to me when I did the jab myself. Good luck for the IVF program.

Hi, Ladies
My salute to all ladies out there! Esp after reading each of yr life stories & struggies. I believe the pain is shared across all who is embarking on fertility treatment program.
Jia You! Jia You!
Hi, Wensi
Thks for yr kind advise. U not working, quit yr job to embark on this program? Me too. Have left my job since last Aug & it has been a yr now, although have not had any sucess of BFP. Sometime can't help but feel down after sacrifice so much.
May decide to stay on with KKH afterall cos transfer to NUH may means I can only start my new fresh cycle in Nov. Times is not on my side both cos of age & financially. Shock on the speed cash is going everytime I go to the ATM due to cost of Accup, chinese med & IVF med fees.

Hi Sunny,
Can fully understand the your feeling of feeling down about making these sacrifices. Although I am still working, I can no longer work as long hours and work has now taken a back seat as fertility challenge is demanding both mentally and physically with all the checkups, acus.. Alto my boss kept giving more demands, can no longer give in all the time. At times, I do feel down and lost too as I was very career minded before. Lets hang in together k.. and thanks for sharing as it makes me feel got people who understand this situation.
Ladies,
Can I ask what are the best prevention for OHSS at different stages of IVF.. (few weeks before starting program, stage 1, stage 2, after ER and finally, 2WW)..Thanks a lots lots..

eat lots of egg whites! At least 4per day. Protein can help water ( causing bloatedness) to be drawn back to ur blood vessels to be passed out from your body.

yah, say a cooking progam on tv n she was making cheese cake *drools*
i got a pulling feeling, not exactly cramp, but slight pulling sensation . Stressed manz. Dunoo ok or not to have this symptom.

there r so many varieties of eggs on sale nowadys. I see also blur. Hubby was saying last time eggs were just eggs. Now got first born eggs, eggs from chickens who eats corn etc. N now eggs can be so expensive for all these added vitamins. Haha
i didn't eat eggs till stage 2. Cos stage 2 then will start to bloat. But I only ate 2 in stage 2. Cos didn't know got to eat at least 4 per day till after ER when the nurse told me to eat that number to prevent OHSS.
