Ceraine, dun worry, if u need more jabs then the smaller ones will catch up. I rmb on my last scan, I jab pregnyl jab on tt v night and 2 days later ER.
CONGRATS Starnight, hw many weeks and days are u now? U must be so happy and relieved now..some of my friends told me 6 weeks might be too early to see heartbeat…but I saw many ladies here can see heartbeat at week 6 already lei….**scratch head”…
Day, I am waiting for yr good news….Tt time I dun even hv the guts to test hpt cos I am not mentally prepared. Test only when u feel comfortable ok? Dun stress yrself!

Thanks babyluck & sesame! Yeah at last relieved now
sesame, I am 6 weeks & 5 days today. Ya at least I can confirmed this pregnancy is not an ectopic. But Dr Loh was telling me the risk of putting in 2 embryos as we still need to monitor the other embryo to see whether it had implant in areas outside the womb. He said this is very rare but he just want to tell me in advance first & rush down to KK in case I felt very painful in my stomach within these 2 weeks.
The sonographer pointed to the spot of the heart & I can see it flickering so she said that's the heart beat. Dr Loh told me to return in 2 wks & he said by then we will be able to hear the "pop pop" sound of the heart...Haha

Starnight,
Congrats! Yes it's certainly a relief. Every time I go for my scan I'm also holding my breath till doc says all ok.
I went for mine today too and heard both racing heartbeats! Really very fast. I thought they may sound different but both sounded similar to me just now. We tried to record using our digi cam video but the recording turned out very soft. Still my DH is really happy now. Kept asking when can know gender next now.

Babyluck, I buy alot of bread and biscuits liao. Now really cannot take v full meals. Only small meals every 2-3 hrs.
Sesame,
Your first scan at 6 weeks at AMC won't be able to hear heartbeat. Can only see it. The next scan at 8 weeks will be Dr Loh who does the scan himself. Only then will be able to hear heartbeat. Btw here's a tip - must request for Rm 5. Rm 4 can't hear hb. Only Rm 5 will be able to.
My next scan will be 13th week. 5 weeks later. Feels like a long way to go!

Hi ladies, does anyone know whether intensive accu is needed for fet?
Sesame,
Yup u got it rt. Can't wait for first tri to be over. Oh yes, share with u. Dr Loh didn't give me another jab today despite the on off spotting that resulted from sat's small slip. He said scan shows babies doing well n so the spotting will go off on it's own. I'm glad not to have to get so much extra support. If u don't need I'd say not to jab unnecessarily too. I'm going to cut down on my duphaston too in fact.

I do itch below during this stage 2. I'm prone to UTI, so when i feel the itch, I start takinf cranberry pills.
Im staying in sengkang....and still trying to finish my assignment by tml. Jiayou!! heee
Glad to hear your appetite is coming back. Yah must eat well so that follicles grow well.
Dr Zou predict your ER on tues ah. Maybe you up your protein and eat more, then can grow faster!! I try not to think about the size and lining. Just faithfully tell them to grow well each day. Maybe cos my mind is all abt my assignment bah. Just hope Thurs scan will be well.
What time will you be there on Thurs?

minakochang,
r you with dr zou ? Ladies who are undergoing FET will do intensive accu before the ET.
Adeline,
I am on medicated FET too and its not necessary to take egg whites before FET. But after FET if you feel bloated, its recommended to take whites to curb bloatedness.

Sistas, just want to update on the osteopathic massage my gynae recommended to go. I went for my first session today. She asked me loads of questions from my menstrual cycle to my daily habits. Then she accessed my organs. Dun ask me how. She touch touch then can tell me my left tube is quite tight and I have bad constipation and water retention and these are also factors that cause the uterus to be moved hence cannot implant properly. I duno how true lah. Anyway, she massaged to tummy area and I could feel alot of gas too. She also said I may experience tummy ache tmr. So Sistas, pls make sure u have no constipation problem and dun hold ur bladder for too long. I have a bad habit of holding my bladder in office coz too busy. So now I have to train myself to go toilet every 2 hrs. Anyway, juz sharing my experience.

actually i ever thought of eating quail egg instead of chicken egg. but looking at the size, I can't convince myself the protein is sufficient, haaha...although it is.
So for visual purpose, I just stick to chicken eggs. But now I cut down on eggs, and up my immunocal. Going at 2 packets of immunocal a day and 4-5 egg whites (reducing in progress...)</font>

Hi sisters...
THink I am thelast one to post for today.. all should be sleeping le.. very busy at work everyday especially this week. Moreover, I am still waiting to start my IVF, hence, I will be a silent reader here...getting most of the tips from you gals... but the tread is too fast, I still can't catch up yet.. read till Sunday post only...
Btw, I have finally did my SIS today... the procedure just slight discomfort but is very fast.. keep feeling water flow out like waterbag burst..hee...(how i wish..) before I know anything, the procedure is over... thanks to all sister's here for your encouragement...really is not so scary as what I earlier thought... Think HSG is more painful than SIS compare to all sisters comment here last time.....
I am waiting for the result but gynea says seems to hv the polyps.. oh no... may hv to go through operation depends on SF Loh..:-( Anyone here with Polyps and yet SF Loh didn't request you to go for surgery and still can proceed to IVF? I hope I don't have to go through another minor surgery... sigh...
Time to sleep... good night sisters..
Hi Chiechie,
Thanks so much for your advise on SIS last night too.. i back to work after two hour of time off too.. though doc gives me MC but I don't think wil use the MC... just time off...

glad SIS went well for you. removing polyps is a rather minor surgery, which I dun think will affect your IVF schedule in Dec =)
In the meanwhile, do tiao your body and have it ready for the IVF treatment. Support from hubby is very important. I'm currently in my stage 2, and other than experiencing the side effects from the jabs, I'm still moving on fine. This cycle didn't really add much stress to me as compared to my assignment stress. My hubby played a very important role, allowing me to go through it smoothly. Personally I believe planning is important. Don't rush for the cycle.
Previously, I wanted to start in September cos I dun wish to delay any further. But I'm glad I took a step back and look at the bigger picture and started in October instead. If I had started in September, yes, I might if lucky, bfp by now. But the stress level at work in October will allow me no time for rest and that stress might affect my follicles and probably get a bfn, who knows. Starting a month later, I could manage my time much better, and more relax in the whole treatment. Stress is a no no.
From your 1st appt to SIS date, you've been in a rush and stressing yourself over all these. I really hope you will plan the rest of the timing well so that you don't get so stress up when you commence ivf eventually. I hope everything will move on smoothly for you, so that your stress level is at the minimal and finally become a mummy.... Jiayou!
just my 2 cents, no offence okie? =)</font>

Hi Babyluck & Ceraine,
I'm with Dr Yap at Mt E. I hardly see anyone on forums doing IVF with him. Me had 1 m/c, 2 IUIs.
Sorry, me see wrongly, am starting Lucrin on D28. I have PCOS, so maybe that's why a bit different from what they told me during counselling.
I have taken cordyceps before, was ok, din fall sick after that. Am not on TCM. Tried TCM 2 years ago, but no improvement at all.
For supplements, i have been on Prenatal and Vit E.
What's BFP ah?
U mentioned KK gives 2 weeks hospitalisation after ER, thought few days after ER is ET already?

Sleepley, I go for tcm since last yr May until now. Initially my bbt is very low, after seeing tcm for almost half yr then my bbt show improvement. But as long as u feel comfortable without tcm then is find. For me mayb I kiasu so take this n take that.
Yes, after ER 2-3days later will do ET. Dr will give hospilisation leave from ER till bt for bhcg.
BFP = big fat positive mean pregnant.
