Fancy,
Big hugz to you... dun be too upset over it. When u seeing doc again?
Meow,
Just saw ur posting earlier on ur hubby n u having a good cry. Sometimes i wish my hubby is as sensitive, but he seems like ok to not have a child. Think sometimes it makes me questioning as well.

I duno any readings from my BT. Seems like nuh not so open w details? Cos last time I asked abt my fsh they also nvr share. Just said evrything within range.
Maybe ur hubby is dealing w his emotions in his own way? Cos sometimes men dun show their true emotions.

Hi ladies,
Some queries that i have..based on what i read here. am now considering TCM. At which stage of the cycle should i start??
Another question is on sex...at which stage should we stop having it??
PS: Safe sex means no entry for DH small soldiers in me right??

Sofia , joliene, Fatbabe, Leo_baby,Eskimobaby , babygalaore and all Ladies,
Thanks for all the support.
Babygalore, Eskimobaby,
Thanks for the info.
Ladies ,
Todays update my BT is 30000 Beta level, no pain , no bleeding. They agian did a detail scan both abdomen and vagina. found nothing.
But Loh as he said yesterday that he will not be avilable he had asked me to meet Dr mariamme.
She checked and asked to meet to first admit and take the Kaemo injection to burn the cells . and they will monitor my health and discharge in one day. but after i went to the ward. Doctor again called and said .. Dr loh wants to take a BT again on Monday and he wants to see the scan results. Hence i was asked to come again on Monday. In between any pain or bleeding i need to go to 24hrs clinic.
This is so stressful i could have handled BFN.
I was whole time crying in the hospital today. didn't bother what others will think.
I know my case is very disappointin . But i have no other to share it with u ladies.
Meow,
So happy for you. Please take complete rest. Don't stress.
Thanks for all the support.

maybe at this point.. all u wan is for this to end... but i think it's good that dr loh decided to hold it till mon... ur beta definitely shows u r pregnant and very high... that time my SIL beta is 10000 over only... so i guess dr loh wanna make sure that the embie is really not in the womb.... so u just endure abit till monday...... i dun wan to give u false hope... but i would think that it's good that the doc is doing everything to make sure that it's really not a viable pregnancy before anything is done... if not later after it all ends u will start to wonder if u should have done this or that... i would suggest u to go for another scan again on mon..

hi fancy, mine happened in April and now in relax period.. currently, im arranging my plan for next step.. and most probably another round of IVF next Jan/Feb at NUH, forgoing the rest of frozen embbies at KK which is still consider quite a good grades embbies during the fresh cycle
I read that HCG 1000 is able to detect sac. Hmm, but im sorry to said that ur level is really high. so monitor and if there's pain or bleeding, pls go 24hrs clinic immediately. I hope there will be an answer by Mon for the next step. I can understand the 'don't know the status' and waiting feeling.
Hi Meow, why don't u insist the nurse to release the HCG level, because u paid for that, and they should not hide from you because result belongs to you and not like other people calling on behalf of you. at least there will be a peace of mind if level is good.

hi meow.... lie down more and don't move around too much. there are some women who continued to experience bleeding during pregnancy. a friend who conceived naturally bled up to 4 months but delivered a healthy boy. if possible, try to get someone to prepare your meals for you and no housework. more bed rest please.
the injection is indeed very painful. i'm not bleeding but i'm still on it till at least week 12. did the nurse offer you to buy it and get your GP to inject you instead? otherwise, you'll need to travel quite a distance to NUH twice a week. you shouldn't move around too much.
the duphaston caused me to have constipation, so drink prune juice if you can't go toilet after a couple of days. NEVER exert yourself too hard. continue with the brazil nuts for another week or two.

hi sofia
the injection i got was Hydroxyprogestorone Caproate.. not duphaston leh.. different jab ar?
the nurses didnt offer me the choice of jabbing it at the GP. i am going to see prof only on tue cos his mon appts are fully booked.. i just hope the bleeding will stop soon.

hi meow... Duphaston is the white tablet which i am taking twice a day. it is also meant to support the pregnancy. the injection is an added measure. perhaps the nurse needed prof's approval before they can 'release' the medicines to you.
i read that the pahang's princess who did IVF under Prof Wong (if it was really him) was also bleeding thru out her pregnancy. she was ordered to lie down more. so just for next few days...nothing but bed rest for you.
what time is your appt with Prof on Tue? i'm going to NUH for my jab every Tue and Friday.

hi meow... great. but i usually go after 1pm. gotta wait till my girl goes to school. i am taking duphaston and folic acid twice a day, plus the jabs. but hor, the past week, i cheated with the duphaston. didn't take it coz i hated how i feel.. bloated and constipated. but don't follow me ok
hi meow... they were also not that forthcoming with me when i asked. she only told me a range. but don't worry yourself too much over it because different individuals have different beta numbers. more imptly, your baby is growing inside of you. it is the crucial period now, baby is developing a heart and heartbeat over next week or so. so sayang-sayang your baby, and mummy must also not over stress herself. tell hubby... your status now has elevated to becoming the "Queen"... heheheheh
Sofia
I asked hubby just now to ask abt the levels. Seems like she said it's average range "not too low" wor. Anyway I just hope the spotting stops soon.
Ask u.. Do u get a headache from the jabs? I ve got a big headache plus an aching butt now wor, the headache didn't go away after I took a nap.

meow,
then it's a good range... if not they wouldn't have given u the jab to stabilise the pregnancy if it's too low... take only warm or lukewarm water.... and drink more... once pregnant, body temperature will rise so need to keep urself hydrated... dehydration is not good for pregnancy... hopefully, ur bleeding will be gone soon...

hi meow...so far the jabs didn't have much effect on me except for the pain. duphaston has worse effects on me. throbbing headaches. you can take normal panadol but try not to take more than 2 a day. i usually take before i sleeps. well, you are pregnant now my dear. soon you may experience morning sickness, fatigue and change in taste buds.
i remembered the injection pain didn't go away the first time. but once i kept going for it, kinda numbed except for last Tuesday's... damn painful. to lessen the pain, ask nurse to jab on the fleshy part of your butt. i learnt its less painful there.

Ladies

Sunflower,
So you were dress in purple today then. You know lah most ladies don't talk to each other, when 2 ladies talk to each other most likely known from somewhere. I was sitting in the far corner at back and I did not see your face. Me and ivftwins will either ER on Wed or Thur. Did you see Fandz? Wonder how she is?

Congrats so u in 2WW I will update your status.
Bed rest for you too for now.
Meow,
I remember the last time i had a lot of water intake and I will even wake up in the middle of the nite to go pee. They say pregnant women cannot hold urine for long. Like i share with you water is impt because we are form by large percentage of water. Rest on back more too ok.

I think it's better then my last first cycle. must be the accu. I remember u stay in the west and u were recommending this TCM man at clementi rite? I thus what u say must be good just that I bk to see Dr Jin at Raffles Medical liao. Zou not around at this time only had to find an alternative. Dr Jin will even accu her patient after ET so she has to be gd.

Hi babygalore
thanks a lot for your advice to allow 2-3 hours on the 1st visit. indeed it took about 3hrs and luckily applied half day leave from work.
didnt know there was long waiting queue... dr told earliest time i can do ivf is Jan 2010..sign... was very eager to do ivf due to my age and many failed iuis..
now considering to try private clinic if can do any earlier..
