YenYen,
Don't worry I will be lurking around here to cheer you on okies!
Sesame,
I experienced the same v.light pinkish ( or to me it looks like v.v.diluted blood
) during my spotting episode on Weds and its during wiped off after pee and not on the liner. But Tues was quite bad, i saw a drop dripped out!. Panic and quickly bedrested since then.Called Dr Zou and she say no need to panic unless its full force bleeding. Thankfully its pretty clear since Weds evening. Don't know if body is clearing out the unimplanted stuffs. Was worried and went back for beta today. Luckily things are progressing well. Dr Cheng asked me to rest till my Wk6 scan. Glueing onto my bed as much as possible. If possible you should get mc from Dr Loh and rest at home too.
babyluck,
Have faith, press on and don't worry too much on the symptoms okies! ..Waiting for you to join the fet bfps..
PinkM,
U updated dr zou on ur bfp news?..i went to her for meds on tues and she was really happy..Think recently alot of bfps news from her ladies..

cck,
I did my transfer 4 days after you.
I am also with Dr Zou and I went back to take an tai meds from her on tues. Think my ms still haven't yet kicked in. But i feel queasy at times when I am on bed. Probably its more indigestion to me!..I just took her an-tai meds for 2X and I was told stopped all tcm meds by my clinic when my spotting started. But I will monitor and resume again soon.

LFB,
menses coming type of symptoms and early pregnancy symptoms are very similar. bloatedness and loss of appetite also early pregnancy symptoms. so it's really hard to tell if it's a goner until u do a blood test (BT) or menses comes in full force.
tell yr friend to hang in there, her blood test is only in a few days.
BFP = big fat positive = preggie

Dear grumpus,
tks. I will inform her. She is so worried cos these few days she got menses-like feeling and she is so depressed. And she is so scared to use the home pregnancy stick, cos she is worried that it is negative. Hopefully she will be pregnant! Ok, can I ask? When will menses come? If I calculated for her correctly, she will be 17days post her transfer. So if these 2 days menses arrive, means no chance already, is it?

LFB,
yup if menses come full force within these 2 days then most likely is not preggie. if she gets light spotting, may not mean all is lost cos some ladies do get spotting in early pregnancy, that's why it's impt to do the blood test to confirm 100%. if she's on any kind of medication like inserts or oral meds, that may delay her menses even if she's not preggie so i also dun want to get her hopes up too high.
as u can see, it's really very difficult to tell until the blood test!

Of cos I remember u!
I rested 3 months then tried natural FET in Sep but abandoned the cycle due to late ovulation. So I did medicated FET in Oct, transferred on 6 Nov.
Day:
Ya I updated her this afternoon right after hcg call. She was so happy! Liying outside too. Dr Zou was there counting counting, say if this hcg is KK standard, it will be close to 2000 already! Then she laugh laugh laugh again....

Yes I'm with CARE. Given HL from ET to preg BT. But I went back to work 2 days before scheduled BT. Got BTs to monitor E2 & P levels on ET day, D4pt & D7pt. Got support med & inserts for E2 & P levels. Even after BFP also continue. After BFP, twice weekly BTs for HCG, E2 & P levels monitoring.
If u ask me, I preferred medicated cycle. I was so stressed with all the lining & follicle monitoring scans during natural FET, think that's why ovulated so late. Medicated cycle is so much more well controlled. There is a schedule to follow like fresh cycle. So easier to plan work schedule too. Less stress ar....

Hi gals,
I'm back w my results... It's a..... It's a BFP!!! Yeah!!! I was really shivering a little w fear e whole morning cos I really worry it'll be -ve... After nurse called, I told hb... Then I called up nurse again to confirm again! The nurse laughed n said it's really confirmed! My hcg lvl is 290 on 13dpt... Exceed 200, so no need for repeat bt...
Pouring tonnes of bb dusts to all e sistas here (those who r starting your cycles, currently in your cycle n those in 2ww)!!!!
This is really a relief for hb n I... My 1st scan will be a wk before our wedding anniversary... Seeing bb/bbs' heartbeats will b the best gift for us, juz like Pink_M!
my TTC journey has been about 6 yrs... During e 1st few yrs, I was so stressed n my mil always asked whether I see doc, take tcm n go temple... After rounds of clomid, I tried so-iui... 1st cycle was stopped cos I had too many follicles. I sank into depression for mths... It took me at least a yr b4 I took up courage to try again... 1st complete cycle failed...
After preparing myself mentally, I tried ivf, only to fail at 1st cycle... Had a very bad cry, but recovered soon... Finally got e time to do FET in nov... N it's finally a bfp!
Just called my mum n told her someone wants to speak to her... Then I faked kids voice n called her 'grandma'... At 1st she tot it's my niece... In e end, she guessed I'm pregnant, I said yes... She immediately laughed happily n said she can't sleep 2night! Haha...
E nurse commented my eyebags r heavy... I told her I lost sleep due to this bt... Haha! Now that i know my results, I can sleep in peace tonight...
Thanks to all sistas for your kind advices during my 2ww... It's nice chatting n learning from all of u!

I'm more of a lazy person... No tcm, no accupuncture, no supplements... Two wks b4 my FET, I stopped my caffeine drinks, take GNC's women's ultra mega vits, drink wolfberry+red dates drinks everyday...
during 2ww, I continue all these + Ensure milk + 3 hard-boiled egg whites everyday...
Once every few days, I took my bbt for fun n each time it shows 37plus... But still, I dun put in high hopes cos I feel that my wish always can't come true if I'm too positive on something...
hv just gone to buy GNC's pre-natal formula... Hope to give my two precious embies gd health... Now I wonder how many is still clinging on to me...

Medicated FET is less stressful for the body and you must have faith in your embbies that they can survive the thaw and be transferred. Good Luck for your upcoming FET.
