Susan,
dr loh is right lah. better to do 1st scan a little bit later, closer to 7 wks than exactly 6 wks cos sometimes heartbeat cannot be seen yet at 6 wks then u panic again.
never mind, i'm sure in the next 8 mths will hv a lot of opportunity to bump into each other

Hazel- I have 3 embbies only, all transferred. So no frozen one left
sesame- what I think most important is to relax and treat everything as per normal ( though I also worry at times) I never do anything special or eat any tonics foods cause no one know I'm doing ivf. I go out as per normal everyday. Only things I change is force myself to drink milk, I hate milk. And eat 4 eggs everyday. That's all.
Grumpus- ya we sure got chance to bump into each other, still got tokkie..

Susan, no one knows about my upcoming cycle except one goof friend also. So for tonic side, I can only depend on myself when it becomes busy, sometimes I will depend on TCM. I will try to relax myself.
Btw, u take fresh milk? I only like fresh milk, but I take it warm cos I cannot stomach formula milk leh.

miracle, I still hv to "reserve" my mc till end of the year so don't think will apply mc.
1st scan of stage 2 is on Day 7. So I might apply leave from Day 9 onwards. So I only need to apply a few days of AL if it stretches over the weekend. I think for the 1st 7 days of stage 2, follicles still quite small, don't think will affect much.

sesame_oil, i do have a "little" bloated tummy. But Dr Zou mentioned that considering the no. of follicles i have, I looked good. So it varies from people to people.

blurlet, you can order from them via phone http://www.funggohpharma.com.sg/imm.html or get it from OG, if you have OG card, there is some discount, I think is 5% and comes with a free shaker for every 2 boxes purchases.

TTCingBB:
I can't tell for sure if my BBT raised after taking Dr Zou's med cos only started taking BBT mid last cycle till now. Today is CD25 and BBT was 36.5 this morning.
Yes should be doing FET in Sep cos Angela suggests 3rd cycle after fresh mah...
Did BT for E2 and progesterone yesterday which will be able to confirm what Dr Zou said. Results later.
V.scan on D24 yesterday also also showed that lining no good, too thin so this month is really not a good month to do FET. During natural FET, if lining no good can take med to boost it before ovulation.
Your BBT is good for CD19.
Are you with CARE too?

Sesame and syrah, how many tablets of spirulina are you taking per day? My recommend dosage is 8 tablets 2x a day, if I'm taking other supplements may decide to reduce to only 1x a day.

minakochang, I am only taking 10 tablets 1 time per day after meals. But my friend told me 10 tablets does not have any effect. So I am considering to take 5 tablets 3 times per day after I stop my TCM.

miracle, actually getting an mc is good also so that you will not be so stressed up during stim and can relax while shuttling btw Dr Zou and KKH.

winnie, spirulina is good for general well being. I don't know about other benefits. Maybe to build up immune system?
You mean your hubby cannot sleep without aircon? Orh, like that then your running nose can stand it ah?
when I hv running nose, I will sleep separate room from my hubby cos with air con, my running nose will not recover de and it is no good as the air from the air con keep ciculating with all the bacteria. In this crucial period, both of you also cannot afford to fall sick.

spirulina contains plant protein. Actualli for overall well being. So not a must to take. Just that used to take it, and last time my massage lady recommend, so i just continue lor.
U can go google on elken spirulina, the benefits are listed.</font>

blurlet: FYI, I am taking Immunocal daily (regular basic even after pregnant). In fact, i always share with sisters from this forum, so if you want we can share.
For those who are interested, JFYI inside 1 box there are 30 pouches and its cost S$100. If order 10 boxes will get FOC 1box so the ave cost will bring down to S$90.90 (still cheaper than OG 5% discount).
I always have one to share with me and each can take up to 3 boxes each so last us at least 3 mths. so if anyone wants can share together. Eg 11 boxes share with 3 person or more persons (however for this offer, the Company only allow deliver to 3 places).

Mic : Sorry I didn't really follow the past post so I am not sure about your case and esp your dosage. I remember last time KK gave me too high iu started from 500iu and then increased to 700iu at the end my stimulation also shorter less than normal (9 days). I remember Dr Zou did mention too short is not good, normal should get 9-11 days.

yeah i remembered you are one of those with short puregon jabs =)
winnie
supplements need to take for 3 months to see the effect. so now that you've started, just continue with what you're taking. Else supplements will be never ending =)
Try look for vitamin C that are known as Ester-C. erm....i cant remember what is the difference. But from what i can remember, Ester-c is more easily absorbed into our blood as compared to Vitamin C.</font>
