Hazel, don't be scared. Initially, I was scared too. But i have to bear the pain because I really want a baby. Maybe you can think that way too. Perhaps, when you get pregnant, you will find all this worth doing it.
Don't be afraid too much. It is more like an ant bite. Maybe you should get your husband to do the "poking" of the syringe. That way, you will not feel like you are poking yourself. My hubby did that and I just sit there waiting to be "poked"
Muski, I had extended my Stage 1 injection because of lab closure. I find that initially I dont really have any side effect. However when I was in the "extension week", I just get aggitated easily. I sweat easily too though i can be in front of the fan.
Don't worry about all these. Definitely you are able to go throug this.

There are people who experience side effects in stage 1 due to Lucrin. However the side effects should not be too uncomfortable. Common side effects are dizziness, headache, feel warm etc. More serious ones will be nausea , vomiting etc.
However mostly side effects are seen in stage 2 when we inject the puregon for follicle growth. More common effects are bloating and nausea.
After ER might have more discomfort if you need to do daily progestron injections. Just keep baby in mind and it will be over very soon.

Some info for you...since i have also done some research earlier for myself.
For comparison, I guess other than the nutritional value, you need to know whats it made of and also the amount of protein that will be retained in the body after drinking (BV%)
For Nutrilite, it mainly contains soy protein isolate, milk protein concentrate, lecithin.
Soy protein isolate is 90% protein and nearly carbohydrate and fat-free.
It contains all essential amino acids for growth and it is equal in quality to the protein in meat, milk and eggs.
Info from the Nutrilite protein powder tin
(berry flavour).
Mixed berries per serving (23.5g)
Kilojoules 397KJ
Protein 8g
Fat 2.5g
Carbo 9g
Sodium 100mg
Calcium 250mg
Vitamin C 30mg
Essential amino acids (did not type all...too long list)
ISOLEUCINE - 450mg
LEUCINE - 760mg
LYSINE - 580mg
METHIONINE - 110mg
PHENYLALANINE - 480mg
THREONINE - 320mg
TRYPTOPHAN - 100mg
VALINE - 470mg
HISTIDINE - 250mg

Hi bakaholic,
I started out under Prof Wong but was switched over to Dr Stephen Chew. He's very nice, more chatty than Prof Wong. The only thing that scared me a little was when both him and the GA doc were missing for about 10 mins before my OR was supposed to start. I think they somehow go elsewhere and make their nurses keep paging and calling for them...

Fond,
I am a SAHM with an active toddler at home. Fortunately, my mum was here to help me a bit. I get to rest more than usual. No special diet.
Cramping and increase in discharge started on day 5 during the 2WW. I did HPT at home on day 12. Got a BFP and did BHCG at KKH the next day. Got a reading of 600+.

SAHM- stay at home mum
Hazel,
I found out from the web that it's possible to detect pregnancy in urine between day 9 and 11 after ET. So I couldn't wait for so long.
Was actually quite shock to see the 2 lines appearing so fast on the HPT. I did another one later that night. Same result.
I called and spoke to a nurse. She told me to go and do the BHCG early.

Sunflower,
I used 2 in my 1st fresh IVF cycle and 2 in my recent FET. They don't thaw extra, just the number of embroy you want to transfer. I lied down with my legs up for about 30 minutes after the ET before I went to the toilet to pee.
Make sure your bladder is full for the ET so that ET is easy and smooth.

Hi fond & su_yana,
Thanks for your comforting words
I will bear in mind the pot of gold (or rather the baby in cradle) at the end of the rainbow.
Qn:
Did any of u take chinese herbal soup or things to 'bu' your body during stage 1 and 2? Found out from Dr Zou that Bei2 Qi2, Dang3 Shen1, Huai2 Shan1 seems to be ok. Any other advice on this will be greatly appreciated

whew been months since i logged in after delaying my IVF to January 2010... anyone doing it during this time...
baby, there wasn't an option to lie there. i had to leave the ET room so got dressed and left. I didn't pee immediately..was urgent but could hold so i did some other things first (can't remember what. Went Pharmacy to collect meds i think) then finally peed about 30-45 mins later.
Singapoh - what hosp were you at?
