nm, pink, pandawife - hey, so qiao.. i am also born in may.. so are my twins.. all 3 of us taurus.. haha. somany 'gu's..
bfp mummies with multiples - just to share with you girls.. try to get used to sleeping on your side.. cos you will defiantely grow bigger than all otyer mummies with singles.. also. sleeping on the side will eliminate the pressure on your back and nerve.. thus, it does not obstruct the blood flow to the uterus, placenta and the babies.. sleep with a towel or a soft pillow under your belly, when you are lying on the side, to help support the babies.. it is more comfy this way..
judebabe - congrats on your smooth smooth today... heh.. yup going hk in my 2ww.. let's see if i come back with good news..
daylesford - heh.. thanks.. where will you be huh?

Nadia,
yr sis conceived naturally? usually no hormone support is given for natural pregnancy. if there is spotting then duphaston is prescribed as the 1st line of defense. what dosage is she on? if the spotting doesn't stop she can call KK and they can increase the dosage.
next step then is all the jabs and other forms of support but dun worry usually duphaston is enough support for the spotting, only may need to increase dosage.
ask yr sister to rest more and minimise bending, squating etc.
all the best!

Gan,
for normal pregnancy no prog support at all. if spotting then start with duphaston. if still continue then get prog jabs.
for ivf pregnancy, prog support given as standard support so if still hv spotting then straight away move on to prog jabs.
for my current ivf pregnancy i'm only on duphaston, no prog jabs at all cos no spotting
*touch wood*

Gan,
My sore boobs are not so obvious these days. But still bigger than those days that I am not preggy. Guess these are the hormonal changes. I only get nausea feeling if i wake up with empty stomach. Very chum, sometimes no appetite for food, but still have to stuff myself with some bread or biscuits, otherwise, will start to puke again. And everytime I puke, my whole body start to shiver. Also having terrible backaches. Sit too long also cannot.
But when I see the food I like, my appetite becomes good. I am selective of food now. Still prefer no rice and no fish.

Hi ladies, im back. Went for my bt and scanning yesterday. I can start on my puregon tomorrow and will go for another check up on 19th June. Hope it will be fine tomorrow. Yesterday, the nurse told me i and my hubby can start having relationship. So funny how they put the sentence. Btw, my hubby is worried. He is scared by having sex now will interfere with the treatment. I sit true?
Nadia,
Bedrest is the usual standard procedure if the spotting does not stop. Like what the rest said, Duphaston is usually given for pregnancy. Another thing my prev gynae did was to take BT on 3 separate days to ensure that HCG is climbing well. Don't mean to scare you but cos it's still early and cant see anything, doctors must be ready on the lookout for possible ectopic. Further jab will be the one on the thigh (think it's progestrone).
From what I understand from my other mummy friends, it's quite common for preg ladies to have some brown spotting too though. Usually Duphaston is sufficient to stop it. All the best to your little sis!

Tigi, how was your scan?
Did I spot you?
My er is either Monday or Tuesday. Now just hoping all follicles have egg inside. Mine grow a bit too fast. And what I understand, too fast also not good.
First scan after 4 days of gonalf, i've follicles around 10-11. Today 8 days, the biggest is 15. I do have other of smaller sizes.
Ladies, what is considered good growth.

suyana: when u mention follicles of 10-11, you mean the number or size?
i think an ave lady after stimulation ought to have at least 15 follicles with mature follicles being 18 mm to 20mm? something like that..
hmm an ave gonal f cycle is ard 11 days so you are on target

Hi suyana, i think i saw you today, you are in black top with jeans? I was there with my hb.
Today Day 4 scan, i got 7 follicles, biggest 9.5 mm, rest 7-8 mm... I think we belong to those who has more follicular growth on first scan. Nurse told me some ppl has only 3-4 follicless. No worries, she also said the rest would catch up... CHR will look at bt and adjust the Gonal F. Trust that you are in good hands. Continue to have more protein (follow those in do n don't list) my personal belief is they can help to boost follicular growth...
