yeah i agree. Check with you. I noticed some milk for preggymum, they contain lots of vitamins, and the amt of folic acid in it per glass is sufficient for a day. Can we take those milk? But i knw they are fattening. Haha.

Lubna
currently i preparing for my ivf cycle. So the supplements im taking are royal jelly, immunocal. Folic acid is a must, so will probably go get it soon.. But i understand supplements must start taking 3mths before ivf so that it is more effective at point of ivf.

Ladies i also read from somewhere, before er and et, use a warm bottle to warm your lower abdomen but once et done, no warming from external required. I guess to warm the womb/uterus for the egg? But no warming after et.

 

[nikki1975]

seaview: b complex is protein based pills..and it has folic acid and selenium which are impt for ivf....

i think yr the right track...

ineedmiracle: if its for preg-mums, then it should be ok to take..

warming of womb is to help the build/increase the lining of the uterus...but make sure its not too hot..)

pandawife really can't take obimin with milk, i took my bee hoon breakfast abt 1 hr after my obimin but i think coz of the milo, threw out everything....somemore the puking was in my office. =(

 

[hothiam]

nm:- Thanks for informing me..... You had clear my thoughts....

 

[rinang]

gan, i take obimin in the afternoon after lunch has settled down... i tried in the morning before and puked...mayb coz the pill its quite big for me..n i took it with all the rest of my other medication...

since i switch to afternoon, no problem....

u can explore different timings to take it.. maybe can help...

 

[nikki1975]

seaview: dont mention it...anything to help cos i have been thru this ivf stage and i know how helpless or uncertain one can be at the diff stages..

i had tons of questions too from the beginning too

 

[grumpus]

Gan,
dun take obimin with milk. cos obimin contains iron and milk has calcium. iron and calcium shouldn't be taken together.

 

[simkaren]

Dear all..i only took folic acid b4 ivf...other than tat i cut down on deep fried and spicy food... 3 months b4 ivf i took tcm. then after tat i stopped totally cos kkivf says may affect hormone test...

like most says... always maintain a balanced diet... every day i make sure i got eat fruits and vege. try to sleep early also... i started taking chicken essence daily once i started ocp.. and felt it's really good as i used to drink coffee to keep myself awake. after i started taking chicken essence.. i nvr drink coffee till now... my energy level is also better... i learnt tat from the do's and donslist from tis thread...hee

 

[gan1972]

grumpus hey thanks, i didn't know obmin has iron. The pharmacy never mention to me can't take with milk. Been doing that, i.e take with breakfast and has been throwing out a few times....initially i was thinking how come my ms starts so late in 2nd trimester.

Panda, ya maybe will try after the lunch. This vit is really a tough one....never have problems with pill popping

 

[grumpus]

Gan,
hehe my pharmacy also didn't tell me. i learnt it from my grandma who has to take iron and calcium supplements, cos hers is separate supplements so the pharmacy told her not to take together. Then i went back and asked my dr and she said ya it's true then she told me to try not to take together. I think they tend to forget the obimin contains iron, they only remember when it's pure iron pills.

 

[tickles]

JJ,
I'm so sorry. I forgot to PM u on the macau gynae's contact. Will do so tonight k. Its been a long weekend for me as I have bleeding again on FRi and rush to see the doc again.. Paiseh...

 

[nikki1975]

tickles are u ok? did doc say why u are still bleeding?

 

[tickles]

Grumpus,
Can I ask what is this obimin for? my doc didnt give me at all leh..I only take utro, high c tablets, folic acid, DHA and multi vits.

 

[tickles]

nm,
Now ok le. But still bleeding.. Both Dr Ann and angela told me that baby is kicking on my blood clot, which explain why I on and off having bleeding/spotting. Plus my placenta is very low. Its at the delivery canel there.. Hopefully it moves up soon. I wish to have a naturally delivery thou.

 

[pinkaddict118]

Pink Destiny....

[nikki1975]

tickles: how many weeks are u now? pls take care of yrself..

[popy_2010]

Hi All!!
Thanks for the good wishes.

Pink D : My initial days were good too--but everything has changed after week 6 --I have become a vomiting queen--I cannot even keep the supplements I am taking. Fresh lemon helps a bit but it tends to form acidity.

Pink M : Ofcourse your turn will come too--never lose faith --its a test from God for all of us.

Iloveshoes: I had tranferred 3 embbies

 

[tickles]

nm,
This week I'll be in week 18.

 

[nikki1975]

tickles : so fast...congrats...i am only week 8 ..still got long way to go..

hi popy: congrats on having twins

 

[tickles]

nm,
Ya.. seems fast.. BUt at times, I feel time is crawling. esp when I'm having bleeding episodes. Always will wonder when the bleeding will ever stop.

U're in week 8 liao arh.. Wow.. The last time when I was quite active here, u were still waiting for your turn to start.. Time flies..

U saw the heart beat already?

 

[popy_2010]

[nikki1975]

[tickles]

nm,
Thanks.. u too.. Isn't it a nice feeling to see the heart beat..

 

[nikki1975]

tickles: yes it is...

[grumpus]

tickles,
obimin is a pre-natal multi vits. i guess would be the same as the multi vits yr dr gave u.

 

[hopeforamiracle]

pinkd/nm: wen do u usually take the coq10 for the day? in the morning or aft?

 

[nikki1975]

hoping: morning...it helps yr body's circulatory system to function better so its good to take in the morning

 

[tickles]

nm,
Haha! Dun worry. It will be a smooth and peaceful pregnancy for u...

grumpus,

[jj_ttc]

[babe79]

Tickles
One of my twin is also low placenta... Its covering the cervix..
So natural birth is out... I have to rest more when i hit 3rd tri.. Try not to exert too much pressure... I also hope it will move up as pregnancy progress but dr say cos mine is covering the cervix so it may not shift up.. So im also abit worried my twins wont hit full term..

 

[nikki1975]

hoping: yes i do....

 

[tickles]

JJ,
I'm not on bed rest. Still gg to work. Just that I minimise movements. Will search the namecard out tonight and let u know.

[jj_ttc]
