IVF/ICSI Support Group

now when i go shopping i will try to buy bigger/ flair bottom (like those long shirts from uniqlo) Also thinking of getting dresses ..

I have a few 'ah-ma' panties already at home .. hahaa ...
 


Baby,

Ya, baby just faith grew bigger Liao. Was excited when I hear bb's hearbeat. Can see head, hands etc already. Dr loh jokingly tell me, if I tell my mum abt the heartbeat is 160+, old people will say I m expecting a boy. I went back n ask my mum, she said she dunno leh. Hehehe. Sometimes he also very chatty. Y'day talked alot of nonsense with him. Hubby and I are comfortable with him.
 
jj hahaha...i like ah ma panties. =p

pandawife...my sore boobs on off...i think they r alittle swollen but not bigger. Tummy definitely bigger...and i have this habit rubbing my tummy now!
 
Karen, I m also pantang. That's why decide only to do in november. And I can't be around when they move out my office desk, shelves etc. I will hide in my mums place. Hehehe
 
Gan..heeee...same here...i rub tummy to sayang them.. i tink its a very natural reaction leh...

u bought ur olive oil?

i tink it helps to relieve the stretched tummy feeling...
 
hello popy,
yes I have done the scan and started stimulation today!

How are you today?
 
pandawife, haven't bought yet coz last weekend hubby was running around to get things for new home renovation. Maybe this weekend bah.

Just faith, did u see baby faith wave hands and kick legs?
 
Hazel,

just read your post. As of y'day, I know I m not a carrier of thalassemia. Both dh and I did blood test for thalassemia y'day. It sounds like a routine blood test since I will also be doing DS test on 24/6. It din really occur to me that either hubby or myself are carriers.

I had blood test done for both Thalessemia and DS.

Before I embark on my 2nd SOIUI, I also had blood test done for thyroid. I was cleared, of course.
 
Gan, frankly I could only see the body and hands very well. I still can't imagine where are the legs. It was very assuring when I heard the boom boom heartbeats.

Have you receive yr pink booklet?
happy.gif
 
just faith, nope not yet got the pink booklet, only know now change to gynae case coz the nurse making appt was taking abt different charges and cost for routine tests.

U didn't do any bt for thalasessemia before so iui?
 
Gan,
when i was preggie with my daughter, i wore my regular pants to work but left the top button unbuttoned. then just wear a longer looser top to cover over. i did that until i was almost 5mths then switch to maternity pants. my undies are those hipster type so i wore my regular undies all through my pregnancy.
 
Grumpus, this is what I am doing now.. Hehehe! I will unbutton my pants button. It is worst when I sit in the car, I will unbutton my belt as well...

Gan, no leh! I didnt know any blood test for thalasessemia. in yr case, did you do the test before ivf or soiui?
 
grumpus u must be very slim, coz can wear ur pants to 5 mths

i am 'bah bah' type...so my tummy really balloon up quite fast..i think can pass of as 4 mths preggy if compared to those slim girls. =p i suspect colleagues all guess i am preggy le, coz yesterday after work got colleague gave me a piece of cake to eat coz tot i work late. This morning, got pple eat old chang kee curry puff also asked if i am hungry. Hahaha so funny
 
Gan, your colleagues are really sweet. Just reminded me how my dad know that I am preggy, but never expose me... LOL.

I am also very "bah"... I managed to maintain the same weight compared to my scan on week 6. Hehe
 
i tried unbutton the pants but the zip also came down when i sit leh

just faith, i didn't do in kk but did in tmc as a pre pregnancy check up...i think one of the result is for that. but i guess is a routine check up bah in kk, guess this sat, i will be asked to do too
 
Gan - you can try to get a Belly Belt. It helps to make your normal clothes go a little further. Can goggle to find how it looks like
 
Gan, I post here since u, panda, baby are more active here ;)
get extender from mothercare or spring or kiddy palace.
I can wear my normal working pants n skirts up to 4-5 months with that ;)
 
just faith actually quite a few pple in office know i preggy like my bosses and director coz i took long hospitalisation leave and a few who knew i went thru ivf on dec, so intially they tot my hl was becoz i went for another cycle...so came and asked me any good news, so i told them.

G string.....gosh never like to wear leh coz like got something stuck in the bitt, reminds me of the inserts i have during fet!
 
Gan, ya lah, must remember to zip up when you get up.

Hubby said will accompany me to go buy bigger clothes. I still dunno what I should buy. BTW, we will be doing confinement before CNY. Also have no time to shop for CNY clothes. THink I will buy one or two nice ones for wedding dinner and recycle for CNY.. LOL
 
Gan, you are right. I dun have habit of wearing G strings also... Nevermind, I will tahan for 2 to 3 more weeks before I upsize my clothes.
 
iloveshoes - last time also got pple ask if i preggy before my bfp leh but i will tell them 'not yet but soon!' =)

just faith u r now how may weeks? I will check out what vi4n suggest this sat
 
gan,
haha no lah i'm the bah bah kind also but thankfully during preggie i put on weight only on tummy so as long as the pants stay on the hips under the tummy i can still wear. u must make sure u push the zip head down and 'lock' it then it shouldn't unzip by itself.

i was very cheapo and didn't want to buy a belly band, so when my tummy got bigger i just used rubber band to 'tie' the button hole to the button of my pants, the gap inbetween just cover with a long top lor...hehe so cheapskate right
 
I forgot is it the one need witnesses ? i think i brought home to sign the forms cos my dh wasn't there....
i signed this before my soiui .. its the same as ivf one right ?
 
Hi leapgal, I'm with Dr Loh

Hi Iloveshoes, I've just had my first jab of Lucrin today. I am fortunate to have a cousin nurse to sit beside me when I did the jab. Was afraid to do the jab initially, but lucky got the moral support fr my cousin

Finally I can embarked on my IVF journey...

Baby dust to all
 
Hi I m in my 2 ww now. May I knw 4 fet, will one feel bloated n nauseous? Hv been feeling like tar since et. Can test on hot on d11? Waiting eagerly 4 the day n praying will not c red
 
Hi Karen,

Oh you are also starting yr puregon injection on the 10th? I am taking 200 units of puregon and having my 2nd scan on 17th jun. How abt you?

I am kind of worry abt the bloatedness for the 2nd stage. But after hearing some tips from the ladies provided in this room, I think i will try my best to follow them. Hopefully, it will help to reduce the side effect and help me to build up healthier eggs?

But I wont be taking so many items during breakfast. Will be too full and become bloated instead
happy.gif
. Guess, for breakfast i will just take 1 egg white, 1 chicken essence. Lunch if possible I will mix ensure powder with milo. A few pieces of brazil nuts per day. I think these should be my supplements. Hope they works for me.

Glad to have someone sharing the same cycle. So happy :D
 
I was suppose to have 1st ivf appt with dr Jerry tmr but I request transfer to dr loh.. But nurse say he nt on duty @ kkivf and ask me make appt to see him @ clinic d instead.
 
Hello Ladies,

It is judebabe here... Thanks for all your encouragement.... like me, you ladies read this thread regulary, so you know what the ivf path of the sista here...thanks all...

I can't wait for panda wife to give birth leh..cos 3 babies together so cute...

Then there is Baby faith( due in jan, baby 79 etc...) and Gan ( you are my ouxiang ! because we are all not young liao but you made it).... must take very good care of yourself.... you will feel a sense of achievement when you cradle your bb in your arm.....

Recently, i also detected a lot of ladies BFP from CARE... the latest one is poppy... so the morale of the story is ... if got $$$, then really consider CARE...

nm, jiayou... you will be the next successful story... when is day 12 for you ? can test HPT if you want...

and Hazel, take your time and rest and come back when you are ready..: )

The embrologist call me today... and told me my precious 2 embiee is gd (According to them, anything between 2 and 4 cells are gd)... so I am going ET tomorrow..

They will do this thing call "zonal thining"to the embryo.... does anyone knows what is that huh ?
 
tzac i felt bloated on d10, in fact bad bloating..so d11 went 24 hrs coz tot not normal. Did a beta test detected low hcg and i did hpt on d12, can see the double lines. nauseous could be the hormone pills u r taking as different pple react differently. All the best!!

Judebabe, all the best! Remember to rest well during 2ww and keep a positive mindset!
 
judebabe - i think that you are talking abt zona thinning.. it is actually assisted hatching.. where the embryologist will thin or weaken the 'egg shell' or zona, to help the embryo 'hatch'... sounds promsing..
happy.gif
so happy for you... Good luck, Good Luck.. rest well during 2WW!!
 
Poppy, congrats on yr bfp!
happy.gif


judebabe, I m also not young anymore. Turning 35 this July. That's why so many tests coming up.
 
judebabe,

I know ivf us a tiring cycle. But please remember to stay as relax a possible. Tell yrself you are two weeks preggy. Everything must slow motion. The heaviest thing I ever carry during 2ww was a packet of rice or tray of eggs. Stay happy and dun read symptoms too much. I always remember baby79 complained hers was gone case cos of the cramps she was experiencing. Hehehe. She bfp with twins!

I m with kkivf. I bfp on my 1st attempt. Keep talking to yr embies. Stick to you! Glue on you!

Lota baby dusts!!!!!
 
Hi Just Faith,

Do you experience constipation during 2ww? I am somehow worried that the embryo will "fall out" when going to toilet?
 
judebabe, wish u strike with the two special emmbies!!


ladies, anyone also exp headache during stim? not those severe type but mildly recurring in the forehead??
 
Caryn, no leh. I remember no constipation for me during 2ww. In fact I cleared bowels at least two times a day during 2ww. Only after I bfp, fr week 6 onwards, I will hv constipation.

If u hv constipation now, please drink more water. I usually drink two glasses at one time. N please take lota fibres. Prunes also help, but prunes make me hungry easily.

Try not to exert too much force. Let it poo naturally :)

baby dusts to you!!!
 
Panda/gan/baby

I only started drinking annum milk yesterday. The drink is so nice. No puking. Was glad that baby faith enjoyed it

keep telling my hubby very shioK, very shiok. Hehe
