Hi PinkM, during your FET, did you do any blastocyst on your embbies? Did Angela advise you to take out 6 instead of 3?

My embbies were all D3 so not blastocysts yet. They were frozen on D2 & thawed day before FET so all D3. She did say if the embbies show early signs of not surviving thaw then will thaw more. But in the end all 3 survived the thaw & maintained at same grades so no need to thaw more embbies.

My sides are still aching constantly. Sometimes throbbing, sometimes dull aches, sometimes a quick sharp pain. I also can't be bothered to assess the pains liao. As long as I don't see bleeding or have very bad cramps, I am very thankful. Poo poo everyday good leh. I laosai until sian... DH says some websites say people eat and vomit, some eat and laosai. I think I am the latter lor.

At least you have a very very very faint line! Got hope! Will you be taking Dr Zou's an-tai meds if you BFP?
Desserts ah... I have ice-cream in the fridge and so far I have resisted the temptation. But maybe will give myself a mini treat if I strike jackpot this Friday. heeheehee. Is your BT this Saturday?
I'll be going to Parkway lah. Nearby, not too far. I don't dare stay out too long also. Meeting my friend for lunch then going home. I scaredy cat. hahaha

I bought my bra extender from Metro. You can try OG also. They always place them at the cashier counter. It's very cheap; a few dollars only. My friend recommended. It's more affordable than buying new bras at this point cos usually it's only our width that expands, not the cup size.

What time you going down? I shld be there around 8.30-9AM. Maybe will see you. heehee. Nurse said to take my breakfast first then go down. Line or faint line, must have faith!
miracle's turn to MIA now. hahaha
Joanne
3 scoops is half cup, 6 scoops is 1 cup. You must trial and error yourself then you know what thickness you like. Level or heaped scoop also up to you and individual taste.

Ceraine,
Try to test at least 7 days after your last hcg jab. For initial tests, clearblue should be sensitive enough pickup quite low levels of hcg. I did beta on DPT10 and it was 8+ only and considering the doubling rate every 24-48hrs. I get a clear + on DPT12. Tested on the online pee stripes and the line test was obviously faint as compared to the clearblue hpt.
OMG, did ur hb misplaced his ic before ? Better go file police report!!!..

My turn to spot. So worrying!! Pinkish, watery, diluted kind that i saw on wipe after pee. None on liner. After that no more. That was 2+ this afternoon. Called Angela & was told to bedrest & pop 2 utro straightaway. And from now onwards to pop 2 utro 3x daily.
So scary....

Better do complete bedrest and minimise your movements as much as possible. Don't go and work tomorrow ya! Do chop-chop bathes too. Mine also the same case like yours. During my spotting episode, everytime I peed and wiped I see that horrible pinkish watery discharge. So far any dark brownished discharge ?

That self-claim loan-shark sounded like a scam. But do be alert and try not to add unnecessary stress during your final lap of 2ww.

I almost forgotten to tell u. Dr Zou asked me to eat lotus-roots glutinous rice porridge during that horrendous spotting episode. Took for 3 consecutive days even after spot stops.

Mine happened only once after that pee. Subsequent pees were all clear. I'm still jittery. Will go get the lotus roots & glutinous rice for standby.

I hope everything is ok now?? My friend who moved in not long ago also had a paid visit by this Ah Long who spoke the most perfect English and she didn't know if she should be scared or amused. She also lodged a police report. Whatever the case may be, it's always best to lodge a report first so in case something happens in future, they already have it on file. *touch wood* nothing happens lah! choi choi choi! ;P
Joanne
No prob. And thanks for the well-wishes!

It's scary to hear abt the spotting. I literally checked my toilet paper each time I wiped during this 2WW to see if I was ok.
Care to share the lotus root porridge recipe? TIA!

PinkM,
Start eating the lotus roots glut porridge. Think it helps clot the bleeding. Btw, are you on baby aspirin ? I was on that and was told to stop immediately as it thins the blood. Even my spot was pretty short. But till now, I am still v.jittery when I go for my pee sessions. Remembered my 1st outing after the spotting episode, I kept going to the loo to check every 10-15mins. How stressful...

Soul,
Below is the recipe if case anyone needs it..
+ Take one section of the lotus root and diced it into small cubes.
+ Grab a handful of glutinous rice.
+ Mix rice glutinous rice and the diced lotus roots and cook for about an hour OR until the rice softens.

Thanks! It looks very simple. I always avoided glutinous rice cos I thought they caused indigestion. So I find it rather surprising it's in most pregnancy recipe books. (I bought one from Popular) =)

Yup I'm supposed to stop aspirin now. Shall stop tomorrow onwards.
My appetite has gone downhill. Food turns me off though I'm starving. Can't stomach nor smell fish. Go foodcourt also quite sick of the smell. Food in front of me yet don't feel like eating at all. But still have to eat a few mouthfuls to fill stomach. Yesterday morning after a few mouthfuls of breakfast a strong wave of nausea swept over & I nearly puked but it was over in few minutes & I couldn't eat anymore....

Your MS is kicking in. I don't feel nauseous or anything as yet. Sometimes I feel a little abnormal though. My D-Day is just 2 days away and sometimes I can't help feeling a little jittery again. When r u going back for your beta?

Your beta is definitely high - high chance of multiples. My last beta was last Tue @ 5k+ ..crossing my fingers that all goes fine. Am eating alot for sure but after food I feel so bloated again
..Just weigh myself and thank goodness i didn't put on any weight as yet. These few days..more strains at pelvic area and when I walked slightly longer, my backache will kick-in and I will feel so tired. Yep, Tues will be everything for me.

You can try put a bit of honey. I used to do that to the AF med that dr Zou gave cos i cant stand the taste & smell. The one with sheep placenta. I asked before, it's ok to put a little honey to drink with.

twins: yes, due to the OHSS risk, I will be doing FET but only in Jan. So you will be one month ahead of me for FET. It is such a long wait! I m with TMC-TFC. Currently I am on acupuncture and chinese medicine. I prefer to condition my body now so that I can maintain my body healthy until Jan. Where are you doing your FET?

All my previously pregnant friends all highly recommended eating the Meiji Plain crackers. They come in the white & blue box in individually wrapped packages of 7 biscuits. I am eating those in between meals now as well and they're quite alright. Try those? At least better than not eating anything at all. Take care!!!
sunstillshines
Folic acid MUST be taken throughout entire pregnancy period - whether ET, ER, TTC or BFP. If you run out, just pop by the pharmacy to get them.
