Cook 5 thin slices of lotus root with glutinous rice in a pot till it’s like porridge.
If desired, throw in some red dates.
Take twice a week.

It's gd that the bleeding stop but do remember not to carry heavy things or bend too. Take good care of yourself!
Fi: My appt at KK will be Monday. I doubt we'll be able to meet any day at KK since I'm always a few days after you. Likelihood of bumping into you at SK will be much higher i think
Hm...the 1st scan is 8 days into puregon? I always thought it's 5 days into it.

i think 1 of the reason i spotted today is cos i missed 1 dosage of dr zou's an tai herbs yesterday .. cos yesterday's morning sickness was horrible ... then i didn't feel like taking the herbs scared will make the feeling even worse ...
lesson learnt going to diligently take her herbs from now onwards.... she did state that there is a componant inside that suppose to stop bleeding one

I think walk-ins pay $90 for consultation + scan and referrals pay $70.
There's usually an itemised breakdown of charges when you make payment, do you see it?

How long were you with Dr Tan before attempting IVF?
Are you still taking her an tai med?
I only happen to know the difference in charges last week, after so long.
Dr Tan is good & her pulse-taking accuracy is superb but scared of her sharp tongue & the nurses' black faces!

Pink Martini, good morning! u r up early too!
hmm....during my 1st visit to see her, she already recommend we try ivf.. coz i was with another TCM for 9mths prior to seeing her and there was no results.
my 1st cycle, i took her herbs alongside the ivf jabs.. but found it very stressful, esp the long waiting time at her clinic. after the failed cycle, i went back to see her.. she ask me to go to CARE... n this attempt, we did not take tcm since angela wanted us to take supplements.
r u still seeing her now? we are ok w her n the nurses leh..hehehe.. so far no bad experiences apart from the long waiting time... my mil will go at 5am to get queue number for us on sundays...very troublesome.

Ya so as long as there's referral there'll b a little discount.

I've seen Dr Tan for a year plus prior to IVF in Apr/ May.
Didn't return to her after failed cycle cos wanted to try accu at Dr Zou's instead.
My mum will get her friend who stays at that block to get Q number for me at 5am too. After awhile its like quite pai seh...

thank you ladies for all your advice, heartfelt thanks.
<font color="purple">flowersfruits, I agree with the ladies that trust in Doc is impt. So if you are not sure abt the doc handling ur ER/ET, u shd voice it out.
Ladies, anyone using <u>Cyclogest 400mg rectum inserts</u>? Does it give u stomachache (due to gas/wind) and slight diarrhea?
Sigh :S Im scared to go to the toilet after the twice-daily inserts. Wonder if its psychological.

JCX, thanks, will probably do FET next cycle so that dr loh can do the ET.
What stage are you at?

Hihi ladies, saw the dilema flowersfruits are facing. I am quite curious once we started Lucrin & Puregon, can we still postpone the date of ER & ET? I thought they have calculated the injection dates and we need to undergo the op within a certain period?
Also, I started my Lucrin on the 27 Aug and I need to inject for 25 days & I was scheduled to go for scan on the 20 Sep. I was also in dilema as I am quite busy with work end of Sep - Oct and my boss want me to get a temp cover to do my work during my absence. My HR insisted me to give a start date for the temp staff. But I was wondering how to give a start date as I need to for blood tests & scans in the mid & late part of Sep b4 they can tell whether I am ready for the ER/ET...Very stressful now. Anyone encounter the same prob as me?

Star Night,
if u r going through a fresh cycle then yes u can't postpone the ER and ET once u hv started the jabs.
flowersfruits is going through a frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycle which involves just transferring embryos from a previous fresh cycle. she hasn't started her cycle so she can still choose to postpone the transfer to the next cycle.
how long will yr temp be there to cover u? u can give yr temp a start date based on the original schedule given to u by the hospital, just try to cover abit before and after those dates to account for some variation.

hi Hazel & ladies,
I am planned for a coming wed ER and ET on Friday after this morning D9 Scan of Gonal F at kk
Saw that you gals mentioned Dr LOh is not around, which I asked the doctor too today after scan.
He told me I am to come bac on Monday again to scan the last time, and likely ER Wed. So my question to them is, will I still get Dr Loh as I understand he is away? Seems after my question then they planned my schedule as the nurse said dr loh Sat not around liao.
Then got a chinese lady dr took the initiative and went out to confirm with Dr Loh with my file and came back and said Dr Loh said Wed ER, Fri ET. so I confirmed with the male dr there again, so is do ET on a public holiday ah? He said yes.
Meaning he willin to do ET for me on the PH leh??
Any ladies here any idea when he is flying actually? so worried that my schedule will actually screw up due to him not around, or last minute change my schedule or a more jr dr since all snr drs also not around??

Thanks for the clarification grumpus. I didn't read that flowerfruits are undering a FET cycle. Guess I can't postpone & got to stick with the date then.
I told my boss I need to take 2 wks of HL & he wants the temp to start work at least 2 days before I go for the HL so that I can hand over my work to her. KKIVF nurse calculated for me & said if my blood tests & scans are ok, it's likely to be scheduled bet 4-6 Oct so I arranged for temp to come on 1 Oct. However, I was just worried if the blood tests & scans are not good & I gotta delay the ER, then the temp will come in too early...

Imp22, dr loh is going away got one wk. So, it shld be around next wk assuming he flies off on next sat. If he said he will for u on a PH then he will. He is the HOD. So anything also can n the lab opens 24hrs. He ever wanted to do ET on D5 on a Sunday for a sister too. So dun worry

ET2008,
Yes ... this time its FET .. 3 embbies is recommended by dr loh ... i think i have 5 frozen emmbies ... now you remind me ... hmmm i duno where is that piece of paper that says how many embbies I have, jia lat
Starnight,
Like what Grumpus said get your temp to come in earlier to familarize her with your work, plan for her to leave a few days after you return from HL so that she can hand over the things she covered for you. This will allow for a smoother transition. Don't worry about temp coming in too early, it is good in a way as this will give you some room for relaxation prior to ER & ET.

winnie, hw is your appt today? U need 2 jabs?
HI Hazel,
After hearing you, I am more assured as I just wonder if its true hearing fr the other staff. As it would mean the sonographer, nurse, embrologist all coming bac on a PH.
hehe cant help but worry as we have come this far, the last step is veri crucial too
Guess I have to trust that Dr LOh will be there, since he sounds veri "on the ball" even can do on Sundays.
Any idea if my ER is on Wed, when should hubby clear sperm? I wasnt told on that too, and today was in a daze 4got to ask.
