Sunflower.. jia you.. think positive
Think I will stop the centrum silver for a while and try the blackmore conceive well gold. It seems to have better ingredients than centrum silver... hmm.. no harm trying still multi-vit while I continue with my Ensure (left over from my last IVF) plus protein powder
Hope baby come naturally..
dEvelyn,

Hi Greenie
Do take care and rest well for next cycle. Its always good to lose some weight. For me after losing 7kg in abt 40+ days, my menses become more regular...its the first time i see menses and feel so happy. So all the best and stay healthy.
Hi Jude,linda, rosypink
You can PM me or call me at 91142240 for the protein powder. By the way its safe for pregnant ladies. From my understanding May who recently got BFP is also taking this.

Dear Babygalore & Jude
I have been using the hot /cold heatpad bought from watson or ntuc unity store.more cost saving...as i just need to put in microwave and press 1.5mins...then can use already...when i brought my puregon to hospital, i place it in fridge overnight so it is cold enough for the medicine...the brand is "medi"...quite durable.
Dear ESKIMOBABY
i also find it more convenient to go once a month for TCM to tiao my body...you have succeed so u r my inspiration!!
BLISSFUL FATE
may i confirm is it only for women consume the Blackmores conceive well gold? i read from the link above...not to be taken with other folate medicine...so no need take folic acid already...
Rosypink/ Lyn
i have already ordered from KK and they agreed 3 weks will arrived..i will monitor closely...Dr Loh said to take around 3-4months DHEA. Rosypink, when u go KK and if they happen to have spare 1 bottle in hand, pls let me know also...Thx..

Congrats...glad that you are feeling better now. Eat more and prepare for a great delivery
Sunflower
Oh ya..each serving size is 8g. But the berries protein powder taste nicer...For me i mix both type together and drink two times a day so will not have strong milk taste.

Actually i did not try him for long time so cannot comment but some reasons why i stop
1) Need to boil medicine not powder form
2) He do not encourage IVF
3) He did not explain much a bit commercial so did not really like him
However its up to you i myself have heard successful cases thats why i go.
By the way i went some time ago...so verdict may not be 100% right.

Congras on the 2 princess...
Fandz,
I have been with Dr Ban for about a year.. not much progress.. Body so called tune back but does not seem so. I stop cause of a few reasons.
1) Wait too long
2) Have to boil medication.. time consuming
3) When he see you not much info I can gather from him
4) He does not allow intake of any chinese herbs to support once you go into the lucrin/purgeon stage till you are confirm with the baby.
Hope it helps

greenie,
sorry to hear abt ur results... continue to jia you...
sunflower,
i had ohss during 1st wk of 2ww.... then it subsided during the 2nd wk... felt perfectly normal until nearing BT day the bloatedness came back.... many gals here didn't get ohss but still bfp... so dun use ohss as an indication ok

Yes, berry flavour has lesser protein but like what fond says, per scoop gives you at least 8g of protein. The lesser protein refers to the total amount in the can. If not wrong, berry can has more weight comparing to the original 450g.
Basically, they still does the same thing, providing protein to our body except that the berry flavour has added Vitamin C which is an added plus.
Fond,
Correct me if I am wrong

Please don't take OHSS as an indication of BFP. Begining of my 2ww, I was really bloated I vomited most of the time cause just no appetite to eat. After I visit KK 24hrs and was given 1 nauseou pill, it seems to ease and I feel so much better. I could eat like a cow I tell you. Then drawing near to end 2ww, a few days before my bhcg, the bloatedness came back and I was so sick I admitted into hosp for just 1 day cause Dr says I could drink and eat very well. HAHAH.. but they did says the bloatedness is back cause they compared my first BT and 2nd BT done, the dehyration part has increase but seems like I'm drinking well so they did not worry.
Some people don't get any symptoms and yet BFP. For instance, Paule. She even commented that her sore boobs were gone during her 2ww but still BFP so do be positive okay

Its good to try if you feel comfortable. Remember i said at our stage now...we should be ok to try anything..Haha..
By the way the marine parade tcm there also no air-con while waiting.
Your MIL pressure you from HK ah..so powerful. Mine will drop "sharp" words everytime i see her but becoz she dunno my condition so i try not to blame her.

You are right that berry one contain additional 30mg Vitamin C and that there's 500g in the can.
However sunflower is right that for berry you need 2 level scoops to get 8g of protein but the original one you will only 1 scoop to get 8g of protein.
To me no matter which flavour you take, its additional protein supplement for our body. From our daily intake of food, the protein is not sufficient hence its good to take protein powder lor

Yup..protein powder is excellent esp during OHSS...thats how i survived in hospital without the need to drain out water from stomach.. With that my bloatness also reduced much faster after the OHSS.
For those interested, here's some info on the protein powder which i have also sent to other ladies earlier :
Protein is one of the 3 most important nutrient substances and is necessary for human health. Protein is an important nutrient, which composes and maintains the human body. The recommended protein allowance for adult per day is 1.01g per kg in weight. Protein is not stored in body and needs to be consumed everyday to ensure healthy growth and functioning of the body. Protein is the major food source from which blood, muscle and tissue are built. It is indispensable for both growth and restoration. Provides the following typical essential amino acids per serving (Berries flavour)
- ISOLEUCINE - 450mg
- LEUCINE - 760mg
- LYSINE - 580mg
- METHIONINE - 110mg
- PHENYLALANINE - 480mg
- THREONINE - 320mg
- TRYPTOPHAN - 100mg
- VALINE - 470mg
- HISTIDINE - 250mg
Ingredients : Isolated soy protein isolate, fructose, sunflower oil, nonfat dry milk, calcium phosphate, natural berry flavour,
sodium caseinate, acerola concentrate, beet powder, citric acid, potassium citrate, lecthin, cornstarch, maltodextrin, passion
fruit, pineapple, guava, cashew fruit.
- We need protein to produce better follicles and also to reduce bloatedness. Of course we can also get protein from food like
egg white and meat however for body absorption of protein, protein powder is much better. By the way i also take chicken essence
during IVF, i believe this also helps with follicles growth
Can PM me if anyone need more info or want to get the protein powder.

Hi Orangey,
For berry flavour, you need 2 scoops, then it will be equal to 8g of proteins..
But it doesn’t matter becos both work very well !
Hi Eskimobaby and Orangey,
Many thanks for your assurance, I felt better now.. as now I really eat like a cow too! Every 2 hrs I look for food. I try to be positive! Thanks!
