Hi gals
Long time never come in liao. Just did my lapro last fri and now resting at home. Dr gave me 2 weeks of HL to rest at home. Just wondering if I start IVF program, do I need to take long rest again after ER and ET? If so, I think I better go back to work next week. If not, people will start gossiping again.

Hi tomatoes,
I only take fish once a week, cos my mum will cook for me every weekend. Dunno like that good enough or not leh. Think I will try to take more fish today onwards.
Hi CT,
My MIL bot the DCC from Fu Hwa. She say their quality quite good. It is quite easy to brew too. Just put abt 10 stalks of DCC, add some lean meat, gooseberry and double boil for 1-2 hrs. Taste quite nice too! U can try that every weekend!

Hi Adria,
Thanks for the advice. With so much assurances from everyone, guess it's really not a big deal if my hubby doesn't go for the op... anyway these few days I also never bring up this topic liao. Let him 'take a break' from the stress he had the past few days.

Hi tnsw,
yes, it is the red geh zi. My MIL only brew for me to take during pregnancy. Dun really feel anything different leh. My colleague say it will bu baby's "qi".
Hi CT,
My MIL say dun buy those in bundles. Buy those in loose form, and the bigger the DCC, the better it is. She paid abt $50 for 20+ stalks of DCC the last round. She say 1 person can take at most 10 stalks each time only. After brewing the DCC, dun throw them away too, ask your hubby to eat them!

Hi miko,
Me ah??? Nearly bored to tears liao...have to trying to lie either on the bed or the sofa lor...but when mum not around, will smeak into the study room to read the postings on the thread, like now...
Besides that, I'll watch vcds (my hubby rented stacks for me...). read my potter book (almost finish liao) & do cross-stich lor...but really very bored leh...
Advice is still dun walk too much, cos' i went downstairs for a walk with my mum 2-3 days after ET & while walking back, felt that the tummy aching, so better not strain it...
I don't have to cook, cos' either my mum or my aunt will cook for me. But I guess cooking light meals should be alright...

Hi Miko,
Good to hear your ET is tomorrow. All the very best to you. Don't worry about the MC, cos you're going to need all the rest you can get. I'm sure the company can still function while you're on MC.
Hi tomatoes,
Hope baby Giselle is recovering from her juandice...
Would like to check with you, did you start on SO-IUI or ICSI after the Zoladex injections? I have called the clinic to check (we can't email them, can we?) and all the nurse could say is my appointment to see Prof 8 weeks later will be a follow-up check after the jab. But I was thinking, what next? Hope you can shed some light with your experience. Thanx!

Hi Chemistry
You should try to increase your fish intake. Use different cooking method to increase your appetite for fish
Hi miko2006
You can take up to 1 month after your ET. Juz let the nurse know your decision. For me, I took 3 weeks after ET for resting and another 1 week to secure my pregnancy. Yes, Prof's style is to rest as much as possible. Best of luck for your ET tomorrow
Hi CT
Good to know that you are starting on some DCC. It is definitely good and I will continue to take it during my confinement. But since my bb got jaundice, I have delayed taking DCC.
Today just went polyclinic... my bb jaundice is quite stable (juz reduce by 1 oni). Fri going back to test again. Haiz, dun know when will they stop poking her.
My CL said she very poor thing. She can sense that she will be poked when the nurse took her foot up. B4, the needle went it, she scream liao...
Hi Spore BB
Hope your auntie won't come!!!!
Hi peacy
Happy to see you posting again. I think it is better to rest after your ER and ET. Also depends on how comfortable you are also.

I think Dr Yeong dun believe in TCM one unlike Dr SF Loh ... actually I also heard 2-3 hrs interval is ok but once you start IVF all doctors advise to stop all chinese medication.
Previously when I see Dr Qi in Eu Yan San, she mentioned that a couple was able to conceive on their 3rd IVF attempt with the combination of her medication. Tat is take her medication during the 2WW but I dun dare to try, actually I tot if I have Frozen one I will try but too bad I dun hv.

CT, i also not very sure if dr loh believes in tcm but i heard that he advises couples who are older and who have tried a few rounds of ivf to go for tcm...
dr qi is fm eys in tiong bahru, right..even the tcm that i am seeing now asks me why i din see her after my fet tis april (i had a miscarr in june)...i told her that i was advised not to take chinese tcm especially when doing ivf...she told me that she had patients who secretly did so...
the truth is i think during the 2ww, i dun think i got the energy to go and rush to see the tcm because as you noe, waiting for tcm can kill, one... and i dun want to get angry and frustrated during the 2ww waiting to see the chinese tcm...

I think Dr Loh believes in TCM. When I attend a IVF talk in KKh he did mentioned stmg about TCM and he jokingly mentioned that Dr Yeong will disagree wit him and tats how I know.
Dr Qi queue is not so bad can make appt wan. But duno how effective is she cos I only seen her twice. I also like you no patience to wait one lah ...

I told him, the CP say I not enuff 'Qi Xue'...and my hubby is alright. He didnt say anything and just say dont take too much, anything too much is also no good. and dont anyhow self prescribe.
