Hi tnsw, tomatoes, chemistry, Potato Chips ,ET, vonvon
Seems like I have missed out a lot. Have not logged on for almost a week. Have been busy at work and last few days have to attend my grandma's wake.
Anyway, I went to my first scan on Mon after I have started my puregon. Think got about 14 follicles seen but all very small. Saw RE and he was friendly. Told to continue my 200 iu puregon and to scan again on Wed. Very anxious leh... cos I think maybe anytime liao in next few days for ER. Pray that my egggs will grow grow grow.

Finally, finished packing my hospital bag tonite. At least 1 thing settled liao. Phew!

Thks, probably will go shunfu hawker centre tomorrow to take a look. Guess I'm just another super tham jia. Funny feeling? Can u describe so tat next time when I got tis feeling I also know it's going to pop. U know I din put on a lot of weight but beginning of tis week, I noticed my stomach getting a bit heavier and get very breathless whenever I climb my office stairs.

tnsw ~ Thanks for the detail info. Will keep you inform when I collected mine. For yours.. how many do you have to take per day? For mine, its seems cheaper than yours, but have to take four per day. One bottle not even enough for a month
shirlynn,
no problem...
the instructions say take two twice a day, that means four, dun think i wld take so much, i am afraid "too heaty" for me, leh....
and so expensive some more, dun think i can take so much, maybe i will also brew some to take....thk the potency for dongcc is better if you take it brewed versus taking it via capsules

Hi mandy
That's great...!!! Wish you a happy and smooth 9 months.
Hi regtmc
I dun know how to describe... it is a combination of the Braxton Hick Contractions + some menses cramp + some sensation at the cervix area... maybe I am thinking too much but I can only monitor the frequently and intervals.
Today, I went to my usual stall to get my breakfast and that auntie was like "Huh? you have haven't give birth meh?" She is me guaranteed to pop very soon... asking me to be prepared. Wah liao.. stress me somemore...

shirlynn ~ its good for men but for women,i think (i think only lah) that it shld also be good for us to take..heard it helps to improve men's soldiers...if u see the attachment on our info, got one dong chong cao recipe, maybe u can brew it for yourself to drink if your body constitution is weak but of cse its good to check with your tcm practitioner if u can take..
for me, i did ask her, she said can and she recommended me (based on my body's weakness) to take "beiqi and dang shen "brewed but so far i have not brewed any yet

Morning gals
Wow sorry to make u all so busy/lao chui nua (saliva dripping) cos of my muffin topic hor. Tnsw, no Q at all when I reached there around 4.15pm.. I think de guy must be thinking sthing wrong wif me. Place order take so long n hv to check hp (cos looking at tomatoes' sms for the recommendation). I think it has been a long time that I hv not been there. When I last went, the 4D was sold in NTUC n not a big shop by itself. Although it is opposite the S'pore Pool, it is a very small shop and hiden by the canvass of the other shops. So hv to look carefully. I have taken 2 muffin for bf this morning.
Tomatoes
Wow, going to pop soon? Sometime u didn't sign in in de morning, I oso tot maybe u "pop" liao. Btw, when is yr next appt wif Prof?
Tnsw and Shirlynn
FYI, DCC itself is not heaty at all (heard it fr a sinseh on radio). It is a neutral medicine. Thats y it is good for everybody n if u can afford, just brew it as a soup for dinner once a week. If u feel heaty, is because of other ingredients that u hv added into the soup n not DCC.

potato chip ~ thanks for the information on DCC, maybe its my hb's body which is heaty or maybe where he is now is summer and damn hot..and he said it was "heaty"
in that case, i will ask him to take more if necessary...
potato chip, if u make it as a soup, is it u follow the recipe as given in our attachment?

hi tnsw,
oops sorry, really missed your qn. I took BFW for a few months but stopped abt 2-3 months before I start IVF. I also saw the sinseh at Thong Chai once and took the herbs once only. That was also abt 2 mths before IVF. I only took DOM (1 chinese tablesoon) every night for about 2 weeks before I start my Lucrin jab. Besides that, I took Folic acid, EPO and Vit B complex as well, but only continued with Folic Acid and Vit B complex when I start my jabs.
Hi Potatochip,
No leh, my appetite still about the same, but I took more protein like eggs, meat etc since my last checkup. Hopefully it helps in the growth. I also never weigh myself, cos me putting on weight doesn't equate to baby putting on weight also. I keep talking to my baby and tell her to put on some weight and not to be so "vain".
