Tzac, thanks for the answer. Usually I do have heavy flow for first 2 days but seem this time not so. Maybe I expect too much.. Hehe. I thought it will be very heavy than usual. Anyway, as long af reports and flow is there should be ok rite.
Pinkm, yes agree with you abt the 2ww, not too sure if I go another fresh cycle will the 2ww drive me insane
don't think I'll be doing my fresh so soon. Might do it in nov- dec coz of the sch hols. Don't want ppl to ask me again.
What I'm sure of my parents will not even know I'm doing fet and I will not coop myself at home during 2ww. I want to lead a normal life though still taking things easy.

Wow, so much has happened in a few weeks. firstly congrats to all who have BFP, and for those who are still trying, don't give up. Have faith.
Hi Gan/Pandawife/Just Faith/Baby - haven't been here in a while. Basically been resting at home for the past 3 weeks, and just went back to work today.
I wanted to check with you MTBs, how often do you go for scan? I find it sooo difficult to wait in between scans. Always worry if anything is wrong... I always need the reassurance of scan.
Also, have your symptoms eg nausea become better? At which week did you find the symptoms improving?

pink-d -> Congrats
..
working_wife ->
Hvn't heard from you for the few weeks. Hope everything is fine now! How frequent is your scan now ?
working_wife ->
Pink M, sorry to hear about the update. glad tht u r brave and preparing for FET. My limited understanding of FET at Care.. i was told they hv v good success rates with FET.. thawing success is also high..
the preferred FET is medicated so tht they are in control of your cycle...and it involves superfact injections.
u will probably hear more from Angela on Friday.

working wife, is ur MS still bad?
i get scanned by Dr Paul every 2 weeks... smtmes in betw Angela will also scan me to check on the babies..so certain periods, i am scanned weekly...
i can understand how u feel... coz we dunno if baby is growing well inside.. how many weeks are u now??
up to a certain stage..u will actually be able to see babies heartbeat movements from ur tummy if u lie down on ur back... in between scans, i will monitor the tummy movements just to assure myself tht they are ok... of coz MS is also another way of telling tht the babies are growing well.
i m 12weeks plus now...n still throwing up everyday. bt the bad nausea sort of ease off as in it doesnt last the whole day...

I'm 10 weeks now. I wish I could get weekly scans too... my last scan was last Sat (more than a week ago) and the next scan is next Fri (12 weeks NT scan). this is the hardest because the time in between is 3 weeks!
My symptoms seem to be fading - I feel like my appetite is better these past couple of days and don't feel the nausea much. I also had very bad heartburn and indigestion problem the past few weeks, but these two days, again that has eased off. So AS USUAL, I'm feeling paranoid, which explains why I really want to scan

working wife, i am with kkh, so if dr thinks the pregnancy is stable, i dun get to see dr loh so often. For e.g, my last appt with Dr Loh was on 12 June when i am 9 weeks plus, the next appt with Dr Loh is on 17 July which is 5 weeks apart! but luckily in between there is a NT scan when i am 12 weeks.
I dun have any morning sickness so i can only go by faith that my baby is growing well. So far baby has been growing on track.

Thanks girls for the consolation. Feel better now. Gan, ur right, just have to have faith that everything is going well. Leave it in God's hands. Its hard for me to adapt to the longer wait now cuz during and after my hospitalization, I was scanned every 5-7 days for about 3 weeks consecutively. So now to adjust to the 3 weeks wait is hard! My consolation is that the scans so far show that the babies are growing on track.
Baby79 - how about you? You're having twins, how often is your scan? YOu shld be 12 weeks plus now?

nm, no need to envy me....i felt i am like the odd one out when everyone is talking about puking, nauseous etc. =)
working wife, initially i was not used too coz during my week 5 to week 9 i was scan at least once a week and sometimes twice. dun worry i am sure ur babies are doing fine. =)

<font color="0077aa">grumpus,
can i cook the longan, red dates and wolberries tea the night before i go to sleep and store inside the thermal? then the next morning just add some hot water to warm the tea?
Cos I 6.55am got to leave home le. If i still cook means i have to wake up earlier... heee</font>

ineedmiracle,
for me i would think should be ok, u just boil the tea with less water to accomodate the additional hot water u'll be adding later.
but hor, old ppl always believe everything must be freshly cooked, overnight food no good....so if u ask me i say ok but may not be the best way lor.
wat time do u wake up? can u set everything to boil first thing when u wake up then go get ready then just b4 u leave pour out into thermal then leave? pot and all at night reach home then wash, can?
or maybe slow cooker boil overnight?

PinkD, congrats! really happy for u
u got a positive on a cheapie test(less sensitive), so it shld be a confirmed good news!
U dun get too worried abt numbers after BT hor. My proges level was abve 1500 all the time, and only once it drop below 1000, CARE start jabbing me wth proluton. Sometimes, i really think they abit KS la.. it kinda give patients with weaker heart alot of heartache. Try not to read so much into numbers, and trust me, u feel alot better.
PinkM, very sorry to hear ur news. Admire your great spirit and all the best!

miracles: I heard brazil nuts are rich in selenium and this aids with implantation.
Frm the start i took 2-3 pcs per day and then abt 3-5 per day during 2ww
I find it is a gd source of snacks.
I get mine from parkway parade...it's like a nuts bar and u can buy them by their weight...

hihi, yes i tested 3 days before BT, for everyday until BT. waste of money, but it makes me happy
Seems like Clear blue is more sensitive than the test CARE uses. The lines i tested at CARE is much fainter. But who cares, a BFP is a BFP ;p
ya, single or multiples, most impt bb healthy. u must cont with Immunocal, chicken essence, healthy food etc. next is the reading of HCG and making sure it goes up.. then the scan. lotsa worry ahead, but welcome!

grumpus & ineedmircle - I'm trying this out. I will boil the red date + logan + wolfberry then put it in a thermal cooker (those don't need fire one)
Then let it slowly cook overnight (still fresh !) then nxt day just transfer to container to drink with hot water in office ... though diluted still contains all the goodness inside (cos its cooked thru n thru)
hows this plan ?
