Thanks. Maybe because i have been staying at home since ET on 15/4. I am going a bit crazy with this 2ww. I am all prepared for tomorrow's HPT results.
I am also glad to have found this forum. Only my hubby and 2 gfs know what this IVF thingy. Dun want to stress my hubby too much like you. Last night i asked him if BT came out negative on thursday How? He said " Dun worry , sure positive one" ...then i didnt continue the conversation....sigh

Hi Nancy
At first I dun feels like going to my mom pl during 2ww, see her so "xin tong" for me to face infertility and during my mc, she also cried w me...but hor, my father insisted that I stayed with them, so that I'll not take junk food(he knows me too well
), and he can go market to buy cod fish, batang fish to cook fish porriage and soup for me...I'm very blessed to have a caring parents..
Rain have stopped, horray I can go out now!

JJ,
Just like to correct that Dr Loh will do ER and ET personally. During puregon stage, patients will be seen by other doctors. If it's a complicated case, it will be referred to Dr Loh on the same morning, and ask him for opinions. We are afterall, Dr Loh's patients.
During day of ET, KKH also give patients picture of embryos. Besides talking to my womb, I talked to the picture as well.

blissful and zara : i hope to BFP too. Please dun congratulate me too early. Cos my last HCG jab was done on saturday. Not sure if this is the reason why HCG was detected.
But this is the first time i tested 1 faint, 1 dark on those cheapo strips. Cos i have twitching on DPT 10... hence, was very tempted to try since then.

Just Faith, may I know why you have to take the hcg jab? My Dr did not give me the jab so I am curious about it..

snappack,
i was also curious. but according to sister Gan, because i only have 13 eggs retrieved, pressaries are not used in my case.
i will have at home, pregynl 0.2ml once every 3 days. Hence in all, i have abt 4 jabs after my ET. Other than this, I am not on other progesterone support. FYI, in case you din know my case, i was converted from so-iui to ivf cos i have stimulated too much eggs for so-iui. dr loh proposed either to proceed to ivf or abort the cycle. hence i chose the earlier.
for my first so-iui last year, i was given pressary inserts. this time round, i was only given preynl. but i prefer jab, cos pressary inserts are very messy.

Just Faith,
The colour shown in HPT should get darker each time you test.
For my case in my 1st IVF cycle, I was tested faint +ve using HPT, 3 or 4 days after my last HCG jab. The next day I tested again, still shown faint +ve, colour remained the same. Same thing repeated the following days...so I knew it was very high chance of false +ve...
But it is my experience..please still stay positive...if you are not ready, dun test again...dun stress urself..I was very stressed then, in total I used up more than 10 testers b4 my BT...

Jia you - Just Faith ... I should have chosen yr route ... cos I also had too many eggs during my soiui .. could hv converted to ivf .. but I chose to continue soiui. Even with so many eggs also can't strike ..
Dr Zou also said wasted .. should have converted to soiui ... cos the more cycles we undergo (iui/ivf) the more harmful it is to our bodies

Does anyone know the diff bet wolfberries + red dates with and without longan? I start taking wolfberries + red dates drink but have not try putting longan cos worry too heaty. Have tried to ask Dr Zou the diff..but think I didn't phase it correctly..her answer was "if worry too heaty, take with longan once a while" but what is the diff bet with and without longan??
prayhard,
benefits of longan as follows:
Dried Longan
A great tonic for the nourishment of the blood through reinforcing the blood-building functions
of the heart and spleen, dried longan is also frequently consumed for its additional benefits
like calming the nerves and promoting restful sleep.
Red dates also nourish the blood. so if have both, i guess has double effect but cld be heaty. so if ur body is more heaty kind, take with dried longan once a while.

Nancy,
If you can wait for Thursday, go ahead. i also dun have courage. cos i have miscarriage from my first so-iui last year.
And unlike many sistas here, I did not have so much preparation stage. after i fail my feb cyclle (natural), I met dr loh and told him i want to plan for so-iui for march, but he still keep an open date for me to do IVF in may. Of cos, at the back of my mind, I really dun wan to go IVF cos I am afraid I dun have the patience for the long protocol. And also worry that the result may disappoint us again. Anyhow, Dr loh always think my case is not that jialud cos my first so-iui i started on 50iu puregon and still strike.... but lost it eventually.
so i decided to go for 2nd so-iui in march and keep an open date for ivf in May 2010.
and this cycle i almost wanted to give up two times cos intially my eggs were not growing after 100iu for 4 days and even doctor doubled to 200iu, it only grew 0.5mm. doctor inititally asked us if we want to give up, i replied, since i have come so far, i really dun wan to. so i continued with 200iu and the next day scan suddenly shows the eggs grew by 3.5mm.... and my lining was 11mm. We converted to IVF.....
