Gan, he is like this. He said prof has down sydrome! Just ignore him. He is a facilitor to help us achieve our dreams. As long as he has gd ER n ET skills so as not hurt the womb, the rest I can bear with it.

A sister wrote to him a few times on brown spotting In 2nd trimester but he ignored her emails. She took her initatves to book an urgent appointment to see him n he told her she tong le tai Qi! N ask her to rest in bed n gave her more support. B4 tt she visited 24hrs n dr on duty checked n said every thing is fine. Luckily she called n made an appt to see dr loh.

He also has mood swings! When he is in his lousy moods he wun bother to talk much. Wat to do, he is over worked n we just be more tolerant loh.

 

[gan1972]

fairylady not all sisters who BFP has symptoms.
I remembered singapoh mentioned before she didn't have much symptoms for her fet and 1 of her embbies tt implanted is grade 2.
So keep the faith! All the best

 

[ferriswheel]

missfairylady, dun be sad .. be positive .. u'll BFP this ard ..

 

[singapoh]

Gan,

I only had menses cramp like and increase in discharge for my FET. One of my embies grade is 2.

I think Soon-to-be had no symptom at all in her 2ww.

 

[bb_hopeful]

gan/singapoh,
i also din hv symptoms during 2ww. 1st tri only slight wanna puke feeling

 

[humbug]

Lyn,

All the best to your coming cycle

Starbabies,

Thanks for your well wishes.. I am a happy go lucky person now with no stress hehe.. only partially on work but with controlled stress. Am trying naturally and if God hears my prayers, my bb will come soon

 

[soontobe]

Singapoh, Gan, i had spotting during 2ww on day 8-10 (if i remember correctly) which I believe is implanation spotting. Other than that, me normal.....was still doing housework and visiting my MIL at the hospital.....

 

[soontobe]

Dr Loh is a very straight forward and pretty no nonsense person...thus, if you are seeing him, u jus need to learn to brush away his "jokes" sometimes..Me quite lucky that he always in a good mood...8) or is it coz maybe I am always smiling, laughing loudly and reply him positively that his mood becomes good too? He has even once asked me not to laugh so loudly......when I was sharing w him my reduced DS risk results and he double confirmed I'm carrying a boy...8P

 

[singapoh]

Yeah so far I only seen him really tired and lost his temper once. Other than that, he's always relax.

I prefer a doc who is direct rather than tell me what I wanna hear.

 

[iceeblue]

missfairylady, think positively! there are many ladies out there whose embbies are not of the good quality but still get BFP eventually. there are also many ladies with good embbies but didn't manage to strike in the end. i think alot of things are really fated and we shouldn't worry too much. actually the first thing which Dr loh told us on the day of ET was that "It's not so good." my husband and i were quite sad to hear that as we were hopeful when we went for ET. later we realised that what Dr loh meant was that he expected more embryos to be fertilized since i had many eggs retrieved. we try not to think too much now and leave everything to fate.

my BT is on 16 mar, just 1 day before yours. i really hope that we can share gd new together

 

[lady1978]

Humbug, tks u take care too...

Starb, u mind if i email u instead? Will u be staying in kk for delivery?

 

[lady1978]

Msfairlady, be positive it seems to me like many ladies w/o symptoms has gotten BFP. Be happy and rest well... let us share with u ur happiness of 18 march okie?

 

[lady1978]

Bing, all the best to u for ur BT too...

 

[brownie77]

Sunflower,

Thanks for the explaination..
I kind of get over it already after a long talk with my DH..
Maybe there's a blessing behind it..
I'm trying to stay positive..

For all ladies in 2WW, all the best and stay positive..

 

[brownie77]

Hi all,

When should we start taking Brazil Nuts and drink the red dates/ longan and wolfberry drink?

How to prepare the drinks?

Thanks a lot..

 

[jj_ttc]

Brazil Nuts during 2ww ... not too sure abt the drink .... the drink suppose to warm womb & improve blood circulation ... Anyone of graduations able to advise ?

How I make it is put a few pieces into a thermal flask then add hot water. Able to refill 2 more times hot water then when finish throw away.

 

[justnew]

for me, i just put 4 red dates, some dried longans and some wolfberry in a cup, pour hot water and cover it for some time before drinking. you can also boil in a pot..but dont drink too much.. its very very heaty..

 

[brownie77]

JJ, thanks..

Sunflower, when should i start drinking them?
I've bought them already but dunnoe what to do with it..

 

[justnew]

u can drink them anytime from now..can start to warm up your womb already..for me, i only heard of this during my FET..so only drink a few times during that cycle..but very heaty for me.

 

[gan1972]

Brownie, i bot a termos thermal flask, 500ml, put in around 5 -6 seedless red dates, around 5 longan and wolfberries, pour in boiling water each morning and bring the flask to work.
So by the time i drink, it is abt 2 hrs later, the flavour will be out and still hot.
I drank almost everyday when i am working during the weekdays.

Use seedless red dates less heaty. If u r afraid of heaty, maybe can drink alt days.

I have been drinking this frequently since late Dec/early Jan in preparation for my coming FET

 

[jj_ttc]

Wah .. 5-6 pcs ... I only put like 3 pcs .. no wonder u guys say heaty .. I don't feel anything ... But I will be drinking my chinese herbs which i also heaty ..

So maybe I will alt day drink this ... then the other alt day I drink tea (I love tea !!) which is a cut down for me liao ...

 

[gan1972]

jj dun drink tea now, it's cooling

 

[jj_ttc]

i cut back liao ... I try to drink alt days only & 1 cup only ...

Previously I drink every day (Mon-Fri) 1 cup in the morning only ...

But i def cut back on bubble tea ...

 

[ilovemoomoo]

Starbabies
Congrats!!!!....Spread some baby dusts to us here. Take care

Noi
How have u been? Oh soooo long havent heard from you. Update update.

 

[babyluck74]

Brownie, just a suggestion, you can just put seedless red dates and wolfberries without putting the dried longans, then the tea will not be so heaty.

 

[roo]

hi ladies, I'm in my 2ww and I'll appreciate some advice here. I have just finished my one week supply of Cabergoline (suspected OHSS). I am on Utrogestan 100 (vagina inserts). My D8 progesterone BT was normal.

For the past few days, I have this watery transparent discharge, such that my pantyliner is wet and needs to be changed midday. Sometimes I get a white discharge too, but this should be the Utrogestan.

Has anyone experienced such the transparent discharge in ur 2ww? Should I be concerned?

 

[jklim4642]

Brownie, dun boil in the pot. The taste will not be as gd as when u put in a therma flask n let it soak in hot water for 1 hr. B4 drinking. Red dates n wolfberries are gd enough n wun be heaty.

 

[blissful_fate]

hi where can i buy wolfberries?

 

[blissful_fate]

Hazel, wah u got a gal, congrats. hope this time i will strike.

 

[babychloe]

Congrats Hazel on yr bb gal!

 

[bb_hopeful]

hi,
wolfberries can be bought at any chinese medical hall or dried goods section of supermarkets

 

[blissful_fate]

Juju, tks.

 

[jklim4642]

Blissful n rostrum, thanks. Still need 22 wks scan to confirm bb sex. End of the day, healthy is most impt.

Dun fret, GOD will bless u 2 with a bb soon. Be positive n dun give up! Bb dust to u.

 

[iceeblue]

Hi jcxuan,

I am also in my 2ww. I think u shouldn't be too alarmed to have the discharge. The KK nurse told me that it's normal to have more discharge when we are on the progesterone inserts. Another nurse told me that the inserts will melt and spill out. As for me, I have the white discharge after putting the inserts so I know it's from the inserts. I also have a little white discharge. I think as long as there is no blood, no foul smell in the discharge or no yellowish/ greenish discharge, it should be quite alright. If you are still worried, maybe you can call ivf ctr to check with the nurse. But I think they will say it's normal to have transparent/ white discharge.

Just my 2 cents worth. Hope it helps. When is your hCG BT?

 

[gan1972]

Jcxuan i was on Utrogestan inserts and had more discharge than normal.

 

[sylow0614]

hi,

can anyone advise. if menses come. do we need to stop taking the metfomin medicine???

 

[str]

Hi Ladies, did not come into the forum for the last 2 days as i wasn't feeling too well. Anyway, thanks for all the well wishes n advices.

I've taken my second blood test today and the nurse has jus called to inform that the increment of my hcg level is good. Praise the lord. But, I've been feeling dizzy n queasy since I woke up this morning.

 

[brownie77]

Hi all,

Thanks for the advise on the drinks..
I will try them tonight..
Not sure how my body take it..
Will feedback to you all tommorow..
Thanks a lot..

 

[brownie77]

Dear jj_ttc,

I also had white discharges when i'm on the vaginal inserts during my 2WW last cycle..
Sometimes it can be in white lumps..
I wonder if the medicines not absorbing, but when i call the nurses, they said its normal..
So dun worry and stay positve..

Good luck!!

 

[ilovemoomoo]

Ladies
May i know the first how many days are the most important days after the ET? Thanks

Skies
How was the dr appt today?

Brownie
Drink plenty of water while taking the drinks. If u have problems passing the stools or sore throat, maybe take the drink alternative days.

 

[skies06]

nancy,

Sorry, abit lz to refer to previous pages. Which stage at you at now? I'm not sure if d crucial days for D2 or D5 or which day of embryos are d same. I did mine during early blastocyst n d nurse told me d next 3 days are more impt.

It is good. I'm having twins.

Currently 6 weeks going into 7weeks. Saw 2 sacs and d heartbeats. Will still be on crinone inserts n pills to 12 weeks.

 

[ilovemoomoo]

Skies
Wow....a big CONGRATS !!!

So exciting to expect twins. 6 weeks already..How did they count? From the day u did the ET?...Must take care and be extra careful. Hee so happy for you

I am still taking Marvelon. Starting lucrin on 16/3. DR cheng will be on leave so Dr Goh will do the scan. I try to take the first week off after the ET and simply bore myself at home.

 

[skies06]

nancy,

It should be fr d ET day or when they thaw d embryos. Did not ask in details.

I see. I guess it will be better that way. You can watch dramas, relax, etc. I went out during d week coz I cant imagine staying at home whole day. But dont strain yourself.

 

[holidaygal]

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum. I had 2 unsuccessful IVFs, and is utterly depressed as all my eggs are immature after OR (for both times). My doctor has no answer why it happened and said never experienced that in his life of medical experience. Disappointment is not the only word to describe how we feel,i simply refused to give up hope. Does anyone has the same experience, would you like to share and what else can we do?...I'm helpless.

 

[brownie77]

Skies...

Twins??!!! Soooo cute...
Congrats...

 

[skies06]

holidaygal,

Dont b depressed or give up hope. Not trying to say tt your doc is not good but have u ever consider changing doc or going for acupuncture? Prob take a break from IVF 1st then try to find solutions.

brownie,

thanks thanks. hope tt things will go smoothly these 9mths.. jia you.

 

[gan1972]

skies, congratulations!
How many embbies did u transfer?

Holidaygal, who is ur gynae? Maybe u shld go to another fertility specialist to seek a second opinion?

 

[jj_ttc]

Twins is good .. though I would prefer fraternal twins ... even best if 1boy 1girl !

But ultimately, bb healthy good enough already.

 

[skies06]

gan,

i transferred 2.

 

[su_yana]

Skies, congrats on your twins pregnancy, hope I can get the same too
