Potato chip,
I see. Glad to hear your hubby also never listened to Prof Chen. Heh heh. My hubby will be relieved to hear this. Hope it'll help to lessen some of his 'guilt' feeling.
Mandy,
Thou I've not experienced any failures before (that's cos I have not even started on anything), but to me, each try presents a hope. And that's enough for me. Whether it ultimately works, that's another issue. Cos there can be so many factors involved that we cannot control, except to leave in god's hands.
So hope you don't qi4 nei3... Stay strong!

Thanks I also thinking of seeing TCM but I very impatient one lah ... always cannot finish the Chinese Medicine. I've seen the Eu Yan San one b4 but nver finish the medicine also
I saw the list u compiled but duno which one to go ley ... confused hahah
Any gals have any recommedations? Any TCM specialising in improving the egg quality?
TauHuay
My hus also had very low normal form ... I think he's the worst in this forum <1% normal forms. All the RE I've met and consulted feels it's not necessary to go for ops as the ops may not guarantee any significant improvement and utimately we would still have to go thru ICSI to conceive.
But I do see Prof Chen point in proposing the operation. For IVF attempts, every single factor determine the success rate, it may or may not help but definitely if the sperm are of better quality, the chances logically speaking maybe higher. But it's good not to stress yr hus.

thanks potato chip and TNSW for your clarification. I think i'd rather try with the 1 embryo first, if dun kena then consider fresh cycle again.. i think i was on only 150iu puregon..that will affect my eggs right? Maybe will suggest to increase the puregon if i do fresh cycle again. Can i ask, do we need to take any jabs to stimulate ovulation for FET?
Tauhuay,agree with you, there are so many factors involved, which are not within our control.

Hi CT
Juz woke up from my sleep and glad to you see you active again
Hi Spore BB
Thanks for your water advised. Finally gotten her to wake up and drink milk at 4.30pm.
Hi Tauhuay
What the rest said is true, especially CT's advice. Ask your hb not to get stress over the ops thingy. If he does not want to go, then dun go lor. Taking DCC also helps alot... there are still many other ways to improve men's soldiers
Going thru the ops might increase chances but doesn't mean there will be no chance at all if your hb dun go for the ops. Remember, oni 1 good sperm is needed for every conception
To the rest of the sisters: Enjoy your weekend ahead!

Heheh in fact I'm ok liao jus tat last month I saw many of the gals here going thru the program so I dun wan to dampen their mood lah ... u know my case 2 fresh cycle still failed very discouraging lor I scare i bring up my case hor will affect their mood mah
Is the book you mentioned called 'Expecting Miracles'? I've read that book during my 2nd attempt during the 2ww. I guessed that book help me overcome and accepting my failed cycle easier lor ... so many couples are actually worst off and gone thru much more pain. I think I'm still luckier ... tat's the only way to an wei myself
Btw, there's another fiction story book by Daniell Steel called 'Mixed Blessing'. Worth reading also.
Tnsw
I stay in the north lah in Yishun. Tat day I jus bought Bai Feng Wan to eat after my menses, duno it helps or not. Will also try to get DCC to try also.
Btw, do u know u can reserve the library books online? I hor very lazy type, dun like to search books in the library one cos always cannot find one. So I always reserve and make them sent to the nearest library near my house then I go collect

but of cse go to a reliable accunpunturist..am sure you wld be in good hands...
BFW is good, onli cannot eat when menses is here or when you are feeling fever/fluish...i bot also last wk, maybe when got time, i will brew some to take..
we really must add oil as wat you said....hoep we graduate soon...

Hi CT
Really to see you actively again. Posting your experiences won't dampen the mood here at all. It shows and encourage the sisters that you are still strong even after failures. We all here can learn from you
Btw, I also hope you all dun mind when you hear me talking about my bb in this thread. I know it is out of topic here. Actually I seldom post in the mummy threads cos I find much closer to you all here.
Hi Chemistry
Your turn coming soon liao... excited or not? Me very excited for you leh
Actually today suppose to bring my bb to Polyclinic to test for jaundice again. But I thought of pushing it to Mon instead. Dun want her to suffer from poking again. KKH doc said if level beyong 300, then go back for the photo light again. Really hope it will not happen again...
Yesterday went to remove my stitches and drainage liao... Now can walk more decently. hee! Very happy! Just weight myself again, still got 3 more kg to lose....
Hi tnsw
My CL helped me to buy the "yellow flowers" from medical hall. This few days have been bathing her with this. One of the staff from my RE's clinic also told me on this method after you smsed me. Hopefully it will work. Will keep you updated.

hi dear, how are you and giselle?hope she is okay but if the doc says bring her to see doc better bring lah, no choice, last time i also cried when i saw my kid hving the photo-light therapy at kkh...no choice, hope giselle is okay..

Hi CT,
Maybe u should try to "tiao" your body for the time being. I used to take BFW too, about 6 mths b4 i started my IVF. I'm sure your turn will come, it's just a matter of time n luck. Guess it will be the happiest news on this thread when u announced that u have suceeded!
Hi tomatoes,
How is Giselle now? Did u bring her to polyclinic to test today? U really lose weight fast huh? How much did u gain thru out your pregnancy? Yest, I was still counting mine. So far gained 9.4kg, bb now 2.5kg, water about 2 kg, placenta about 0.5kg, that means I will have about 4.4kg to lose after delivery! My mummy say I'm siao and warned me not to diet during my confinement!
I'm pretty calm, haha..... Really looking forward to see & carry her, but also enjoy her movements in my tummy! Today just bot her a musical mobile! Hope she likes it!
Hi tnsw,
What is "wang chee chee" and what is that for? A kind of dried flowers is it?

Me so busy on friday and will be out on tis coming Monday morning too. Gynae appt on Monday afternoon.
Tomatoes,
Wow...only 3kg more to lose, very gd leh. Wat did u do, how come can lose weight so fast?
Chemistry,
U also gain very little weight leh, I think nowadays we women very conscious when weight is concern hor? I orali gain 6kg now, another 6 wks to go, dunno will put on how much more. I also got lots of toys for my bb from toysrus, compliments from amex and citibank (redeem vouchers).
Hi Sisters,
During my IVF, Dr Yeong also prescribe provirunium and esctativa for my hb eventhough there's nothing wrong with his sperm. I dun think surgery is really necessary for hb with low or weak soldiers cos out of millions of soldiers release, sure can find a few strong ones for ICSI.
Those undergoing or going for the infertility treatment, JIA YOU!!!

Hi TauHuay,
As I've also said in the earlier thread, we also went to see Prof Chen a few times before. He also recommended both of us to go thru ops. But of me & hubby damn kiasi....so discussed liao decided to seek 2nd opinion...
Anyway, what i'm trying to say is, going thru the ops may/may not improve the chances of success, cos' I don't think there are statistical numbers yet...likewise, don't go for the ops. may not be a hinder. Like what other sisters say, hubby can take multivits etc to help.
in fact, my gynae was telling us that we won't be able to start any IUI/IVF treatments immediately after the verocosille op, has to wait around 1/2 year.
My 2 cents worth...

Hi tnsw
Yes, my CL did put the pouch beside her. Me now facing a bit of engorgement on my breast. It seem that my supply is more than demand. There reason is that I am alternating FM and BM to my bb so as to reduce the jaundice (hopefully). I pump and pump till my breast red-red liao. And I must wake up about 2 times in the middle of the nite to express the milk out (when I am not feeding my bb) cos very very pain....like going to explode.
Hi Chemistry & regtmc
I din bring my bb to polyclinic for testing yesterday. My hb said no diff to test on Sat on Mon. Just tried to use the traditional method to bring down her jaundice to see got effect or not.
Actually I am also surprised that my weight loss is quite fast. Today just weighed, and it reduced by another kg liao. I think it is mainly due to the healthy confinement food that my CL cook for me + the stress since I got discharged from the hospital. Btw, though healthy, her food is yummy too (at least to my taste) In addition, I also apply the anti-cellulite cream everyday (dun know if it works or not). Since yesterday, I also use a binder to bind my tummy area and it does seem that the shape is coming back liao. If I am hungry, I try to snack on healthy food like an apple or a bread wif Milo. Yesterday evening, I buay tahan and finally went to my bedroom toilet and secretly wash my hair. OMG! It is so shiok!!!!
Chemistry: Your bb sure will like the musical mobile that you bought for her. Meanwhile, enjoy the last stage when she is in your tummy as I sometimes still do
Your weight gain is considered very healthy. I gained about 12kg during my whole pregnancy. Yes, we cannot go hungry when we are doing confinement and also breastfeeding. But you can drink more red date water and eat healthy confinement food during confinement.

Hi regtmc,
Your baby really lucky, got so much toys huh! We bot our bb a number of toys too, prob becos she is our 1st bb, so more willing to spent on such items!
Your weight gain is much lower than mine. At your stage, I guess, I should have gained abt 8kg liao!
Hi tomatoes,
My mum was telling me that Zoe Tay is advertising for some herbal stuff which she had used to bath and wash hair during her confinement period. Wonder what's that stuff she used! Also, what brand of anti-cellulite cream did u used?
Did u drink plain water during your confinement or just the red date water? My mum was telling me that have to drink the red date water thru out! If i take plain water, may lose my taste bud after that. Wonder how true is that!

you gals really gained very little weight, i gained 16kg during my preg (more than double of regtmc!!). i think i lost most of my weight after the CL left cos insufficient sleep + lots of energy to take care of bb + no more confinement food to eat = weight loss!! yesterday tried on my old clothes, so happy can wear back most of the bottoms already, but the tops still cannot fit...
chemistry, yes i also heard pple said cannot drink plain water at all. but i drank lots of it during my stay in hospital, when i went back home then i only drink red dates water.
re jaundice, my CL bathed my bb in the 'yellow flowers water'. and when we went for bb checkup, the PD quite surprised that the level went down very fast and commented that my bb was one the few who can clear his own jaundice very well himself. dunno is it the 'yellow flowers' very effective??
anyone read the fatherhood section in ST last sunday? the guy's wife finally gave birth to their IVF baby, very touching, read already brings back all the memories... their gynae was also my icsi gynae.
chemistry, yes i also heard pple said cannot drink plain water at all. but i drank lots of it during my stay in hospital, when i went back home then i only drink red dates water.

gals,
bf mummies lose weight faster normally so continue in that...
Me too lose 8 kg within 1 week of bf (though i only bf for 1mth +)and by the time i go back to work, i am thinner than before pregnancy... for me the last 2-3 kg was so stubborn at first.... stick with me for 2 mths till samuel fell very sick in his 2nd month and i really lose weight taking care of him at that time... all my colleagues were saying as if i never give birth before kind... hehee

Hi chemistry
Wow, it seems like Zoe tay is endorsing alot of things... Actually, I dun agree with her endorsing for extrim leh. I think for the herbal stuff for bathing, you buy those ready made packets at medical hall used for bathing enuff. Frankly speaking, I din follow everything according during my confinement. Like wiping myself with the herbal water. I oni use the herbal water once a day and the rest of the day, I would wipe myself with warm water. If I got to wait for my CL to boil the herbs, I will go crazy.
I did drink abit of plain water... when taking vitamins. Dun tink the losing of taste bud is true lah... maybe the others will say wind will go into our body if we take plain water.
Hi westbb
Happy to know that the yellow flowers work for your bb. Hopefully it work for mine too. Tomorrow will be bring her to polyclinic to poke again. Very heartpain. Hope it drop to a good level and no need to test again.
Hi poohy
Yes, I agree also bf helps in losing weight also. But today just tried my usual jeans, still cannot button. Haiz....

Chemistry,
The wong chee chee that i was talking about is a yellow thing which is supposed to help babies to lose the jaundice...my kid got jaundice last time and my old neighbour told me that, my office tea ladies also told me....it seemed to work so i recommended tis method to mummies who have babies who got jaundice..
hope that tis works for giselle as it did work for westbb's baby..
you can get it in the medicinal shops that sell herbs etc...
think wat zoe tay is endorsing a spa treatment company and she claims that she did bathe when she was hving the treatment, what is it exactly, i think it was not mentioned

chemistry,
Me too first bb mah, so more willing to spend on toys and clothes. My MIL told me must drink red dates boil with longan for the whole of first month. Although my weight gain is lower than yours, but my bb is gaining weight very fast. I think we got to be careful of wat we eat during confinement, dun bao4 yin3 bao4 shi2. Will keep u updated abt bb's weight after seeing my gynae tmr.
tomatoes,
I understand tat bf will help us to lose weight faster, therefore will try very hard to bf. Fyi, my breast grows faster than my stomach. Big breast doesn't mean I'll have lots of milk. Feeling very uncomfortable abt it.

Hi regtmc
Yes, big breast doesn't mean will have milk. But trust me, you will have. Eat lotsa of fish during last 2 weeks of your pregnancy and during confinement. I thought I have no milk also but in the end, lucky I have. During the 1st few days after delivery, I just let my bb suckle for fun (even though little or no milk). Dun worry about bb going hungry cos they have reserves in their body for the 1st 3 days.
Hi Chemistry
I am using Clarins anti-cellulite cream.

Hi Gals
Morning, wow the thread move fast over the wkend.
Hi Regtmc
Update us yr checkup after your appointment. Tot yr MIL very ang moh type, still insist must drink de red dates drink thru out de whole month, so surprise lei. Btw, since yr breast is growing faster than yr stomach, mayb u will end up like Zoe lei.
Hi Tomatoes
Of course don mind u discussing abt Giselle in this thread. We will miss u if u don discuss here. Agree wif u, is not very suitable for her to endorse for Extrim while she still bf.
