hi gals, can we still drive after our et especially first 4-5days? Coz i realised tat when i drive my car, i always make sure of thigh and abit of adobmen muscles. Tis will effect the embryo from being implanted to our lining right?

Joanne, I be going Dr Zou's place later @ 7pm. What time is your appt?
I was wondering do you ladies have difficulty drinking Dr Zou's after af meds? Everytime i drink will have siap siap taste & tongue feel numb. Within 15mins will have chest tightness, giddiness & nausea for 1-2hrs. Today is my last dose but I couldn't take it anymore so never eat.

minakochang, perhaps you should feedback to the chinese doc. I think those medicine is not suitable for you that why it's causing all these chest tightness.
Not neccessary all the medicine that doc prescribe are suitable. so it's important to feedback to the doc.
Anyway whenever I use to drink chinese medicine, i hold my breath only and not nose and give it a 2 big gup and that's it. lesser water means thicker but better than such a big cup. i would love to make it like tequila shot but that would be too thick so moderate the water...

After my Jan af come, i will start my suppression jab. I am so scared coz never do injection on my own before. My hub already said he cant inject for me. Not only the jab, think i will hav problem inserting the progesterone too : (

minkochang, the after af meds isst contain sheep placenta? Coz i remembered during my last week visit, i overheard a customer's conversation wif dr Zou. She also have symptoms of tongue numb numb, chest tighness and feel nausea. Dr Zou told her the med should not have any side effects as all the ingredients are those common herbs. she also mention sheep placenta as one of the ingredients. Even mentioned tat the sheep placenta is good for our skin. Dr Zou asked her to reduce the med to 1 packet taken in the morning and nite.
I also hate to drink the meds. Whenever i drink, i will curse and swear. It taste and smell horrible. I also take 2 packets a day nia.

Sunflower, if you are young and your DH lifestyle is fine like no smoking or drinking then maybe it's fine to try naturally. I definitely share your sianness.
My DH simply wouldn't change his lifestyle and so we concluded to go for IVF. Luckily he agree to it. So shortly after ET and everything he started drinking again. But he didn't for a few mths before ER.
Month by months, weeks by weeks and still no news is really frustrating! Nearly all my friends who said they want to have another baby conceive shortly! That was a indirect hard blow to me.
Perhaps by not pressuring yourself too much and your hubby might help.
You know my DH was the one who suggested going to have his specimen analised. I thought he should be ok but result showed his quality was really bad and that we should go for ICSI....
So it's also good to know whats the cause...
Stay positive!

bobzai, i have read tat lucrin will cause insomnia for some people. I have extracted the article from the following website
http://www.ehow.com/about_5306460_lucrin-side-effects.html
Lucrin is an injectable drug available in a number of countries outside the United States, including New Zealand, Australia, Belgium, Costa Rica, Malaysia, Singapore and South Africa. The most common usage of lucrin is the treatment of late stage prostate cancer; however, doctors sometimes prescribe it in conjunction with the treatment of other illnesses and conditions, such as breast cancer, fibroid uterine tumors and endometriosis. Despite its effectiveness, lucrin is not for everyone as it presents several risks for side effects and complications in some patients.
Common Side Effects
Approximately 52 percent of lucrin users report hot flashes, making this the most common side effect of the drug. The retention of fluid under the skin is also common, occurring in at least 8 percent of users. More than 5 percent of patients who take lucrin experience dizziness, pain throughout the body, headache, nausea and vomiting.
Other Side Effects
Lucrin also has the potential to cause a number of other troublesome or annoying, but not dangerous, side effects. Some patients experience gastrointestinal side effects from the drug, such as diarrhea and loss of appetite. Nervous system effects like anxiety, tingling in the extremities, forgetfulness, sour taste and insomnia as well as fever and fatigue are also possible while taking lucrin. Other possible side effects of lucrin include breast tenderness in women and impotence in men.

I have started and will be going to the clinic for blood test to see if I'm pregnant or not.
Of course it will be good to conceive naturally but having tried for 2yrs, it's rather demorolizing... When you and your DH finally wants to go for IVF, go for it. Old folks will surely comment and wonder if it's necessary etc
During my half way through program, I let my mom know and she said is it necessary. Partly because I already have a 3yr old gal. I said since I like to have 1 and have put aside some money for this why not. Do it while I am still young though I am only already 34. (Doc said I am consider young ones) The older you go for it, the more issue you might get. That's how I feel. And I told her I don't want to have regret in my life when I look back...
At least when I look back now, I know I have tried. Can get pregnant or not is another thing. At least I know I tried.

Firedra90ni,
I hv a 3 yr old girl conceived naturally with clomid. When I was trying for #2, the clomid didn't work anymore so jumped straight to ivf.
Succeeded on my first fresh cycle. Currently 8mths preggie with another girl.
During my 2ww I took care of my elder girl as per normal, feed, cook, bath and drive her to school.
