calzz, do u find yrself v tired? I find after the ET, since cannot do much things, I usually fall asleep during afternoon time and night time my eyes will be v heavy even before my insert timing...I can't imagine myself going back to work still can sleep like that or not? Haha...

 

[calzz]

Sesame, think its common to have constipation that's y the nurse told me to eat more fruits...

Yup I do feel sleepy. Feel like a pig... Eat n sleep n watch drama whole day.

Mina, cry it out if u have to k... Have a gd talk with ur dh too.

 

[diana_natalie]

sesame > 2ww till now...

 

[flowersfruits]

mina, if u need a good cry, please do. Need to let it out.

 

[sesame_oil]

calzz, orh the nurse in kkh did not tell me. I also feel I am like a pig thought I am a "rabbit"..keke...

Diana, u dun scare me...u mean the whole of 2ww no poo????

 

[sesame_oil]

flowers, all the best for yr ET tml

 

[flowersfruits]

actual i am quite scared after i hear your story about the couple who has no embryo ... duno how will my fozen fair tml .... jitters

 

[sesame_oil]

flowers, since yrs can fertilised, it shd thaw v well too. Dun worry...wah....in future if I come across such bad cases, I shd not post here.

Diana- it's normal to feel a bit of tummy ache. Not the LS feeling but like gastric type. And lotsa gas either thru burping or thru back. A sista here had via burp whereas mine is via back. Hehe. Esp if u drink milk it will also come more. But it's normal. Cos when bfp, your digestion system slows down. That's why.

Sesame- must eat more fibre fruits. Take prunes those packet type helps. Can combine with fybogel too. But dun force it out cos not good during 2ww and preg. Must eat more veg to soften it. I eat apples and kiwis and prunes. This combi works for me.

Mina- I also failed my first fresh. The feeling was very devastating. Moreover, that time when I had to take test to determine results, my hb was overseas. So I cried so much at home. But after talking to hb, we decided on the next steps. So that helps. At least there is next action and not uncertainty of not knowing when can bfp. I agree with pinkM. Really must talk and move on. Dun blame anyone. At least u have frozen embies. My 1st fresh, I have none leftover. And it took me another 1year plus before I decide to go for 2nd ivf fresh.
U must also encourage your hb. I know it's hard but it's really trying to get over it. And lastly, DON'T GIVE UP! God will not let those who are determined down.

 

[goofie]

Flowers-- think POSITIVE! your mood will affect your bodily reactions. All the best for your ET!!! Bbdust to you!!

 

[sesame_oil]

Thanks goofie

I agree I dun eat much veg these 2 days since always packet outside and hubby din dabao veg back. Will take more fruits.

 

[flowersfruits]

Thanks goofie, thanks sesame

Sesame, no i dun mean that. If you have stories to share, be it positive or negative u still have to share. We should view it as encouragement or blessings of our own situation. It is just a moment of folly that i let negative thots slip in, must be too much K-drama ler. No worries ok

 

[sesame_oil]

flowers, actually I do regret posting other couples can't make it tt day for transfer but I just feel so sad for them and so I post here cos dunno who to talk to....and I really really hope u all dun get the wrong -ve feeling. So sorry if I did.

 

[bellatwins]

Morning!!

Flowers, I had the exact worry as you, too.

I embarked on IVF this September after signing my agreement, obvious of the success rates but not aware of potential hurdles.

One day, I was waiting to be scanned and I happened to eavesdrop on 2 ladies' conversation. That was when I first found out of the possibilities of NOT having any embryos at all. I came home - disheartened and kept my prayers very hard..

On my ER, I was worried when they retrieved only 9 eggs but I was grateful bcos my eggs grew very slowly and prior to my last jab, I had only 4 follcles. So, 9 for me was a relieved..

On ET, I waited if there is any call from KKIVF before I made my journey there that morning. A call from them telling me none fertilised, of course it never came.

When Dr Loh told me I had 6 fertilised eggs, I am so thankful to God. Heehehe..

My advice, dun worry too much, ok?

The ET was the best moment that happened in my IVF journey.

 

[audreysu]

sesame - actually me & my dh felt that kk shld at least call & inform how many are fertlised and not drop bomb on the day of ET. this is worse than giving the couple death penalty!!

 

[hopeforamiracle]

Sesame: i also constipate badly first few days..try drink lots of water n fruits n veg k..try not too force

 

[sesame_oil]

bellatwins, I agree tt ET is the best moment. So fascinating with hubby with us, like seeing our babies scan. V blissful feeling.

 

[sesame_oil]

winnie, i agree! This is something they lack of! This is what I told dh also. I think I will breakdown on the spot. My dh on the other hand feels that there is no diff in calling beforehand and inform on the spot. I personally feels tt makes a diff! Cos I can be mentally prepared.

 

[sesame_oil]

hoping, I dun hv the habit to force, that is the problem

That's y inside for 2 days already. Haha.

 

[audreysu]

sesame - actually it makes a of diff if they call beforehand. its like u look so forward to ET suddenly they tell u no embryos to transfer!!

 

[audreysu]

sesame - drink prune juice, eat prunes. I also have constipation problem during 2ww

 

[diana_natalie]

sesame > no lah the poo poo is less not never poo poo

 

[flowersfruits]

bellatwins, yes ET was a very touching moment.

 

[sesame_oil]

winnie, same sentiments! I also think so. I dun like ppl to drop the bomb to me on the spot!

 

[diana_natalie]

goofie > oh is normal arh... i bought yakult yesterday hope can ease the constipation

 

[sesame_oil]

Thanks winnie! Dun hv prune juice, will get dh to buy.

diana, at least u poo...mine MIA for 2 days already.

 

[audreysu]

sesame - thats why dh say kk shld call beforehand, just a 5 mins call makes a lot of diff to the couple

 

[sesame_oil]

winnie/colin, I agree too!

 

[diana_natalie]

winnie > i agree... they shld call beforehand not inform on ET day

 

[audreysu]

if CARE ever do this to us, they'll know what they'll get next from us.... it shall be "see u in court!"

 

[diana_natalie]

sesame > but poo poo a little bit is still equal like no poo poo coz the vol is lower then before... lol...

 

[sesame_oil]

diana, I will thank god if I poo a bit now...

 

[diana_natalie]

sesame > i think yakult help... i did try drinking and it in 2ww felt better but after that no drink back to the no poo poo / little poo poo

 

[sesame_oil]

Ok diana, I will try...actually I try to drink milk later on and see if it helps.

 

[diana_natalie]

shld i change my milk formula? milk formula for preggie ladies? i am drinking the normal milk formula coz it was bought way before i did my ivf.

 

[grumpus]

Sesame,
I was constipated during 2ww n after bfp. Is very normal. I drank prune juice, ate prunes and papaya.
My dr said those natural fiber drinks like Fybogel r ok to take.

 

[grumpus]

Diana,
Not necessary to change now. Finish wat u hv first then consider changing. Not must to drink those preggie milk also unless u're not eating well cos they're very fattening.

 

[starnight]

Diana, sesame, I also keep experiencing that kinda AF tummy ache during my 2ww n when I rush to toilet, its like constipation & only let out gas... I was thinking really -ve cos whenever my AF is coming, I will have this kinda feeling.
Diana, Btw hv u experience nausea already?

 

[sesame_oil]

grumpus, papaya is liang right? I will take more fruits and drink more water. Hopefully later will come out.

 

[sesame_oil]

Starnight, that is what I experience now! so sad

 

[diana_natalie]

grumpus > okie noted

Star Night > me had the same feeling...

i not sure but yesterday had been
feeling mild nausea but shld be a little early coz it will kick in in another few days time.

you feeling nausea dy?

 

[grumpus]

Sesame,
I dunno if papaya is liang. I always tot tropical fruits r not liang.

 

[holidaygal]

Diana, I finally watched the ER /ET episode of G & B, thanks for the showtimes.

 

[bubbli26]

Afternoon Sistas.....

sesame_oil: Dr Zou eyes is still red..but she says it's better...I really salute with those red eyes she still sees her patients...accu somemore...so nice of her..

Mina: take time to grieve...tok ur dh abt this too when the time comes..so at least both of u can move on and not look back...Call for KKIVF for early BT mah..so at least can go for BT tomolo..then fix ur appt with Dr Loh to see him and discuss abt your next step...Hugs to u..Take care

 

[goofie]

Diana- try not to take too much yakult. When I was ttc, one TCM told me that if preg, dun take too much as too much will cause bb to have asthma prob. Take prunes and fybogel is good.
I also wanted to take those mums milk but also read that it can be quite fattening.

Sesame- milk dun help constip leh. U try taking some prunes?

 

[pinkaddict118]

Nadia... Sorry I go and chk w guardian, they said hor is the same leh. They only carry one type of preseed. Sorry ya! Give u wrong info.

 

[sesame_oil]

Nadia, oic, I hope she gets better. Tt day before ET I goes to her, her eyes is so swollen. V poor thing.

goofie, if I drink too much milk, I will hv the feeling to go toilet. I finally can go toilet le...so happy! Its quite alot after accumulation from yesterday. Sorry for being so gross. Haha...

 

[lbbkl]
