mina, when i received the form, it indicated my education is Primary sch only. I called up ICA to check with them how to update. They told me to indicate in the form and mail them the qualification cert since i m applying thru mailing. The waiting time is abt 2weeks. Payment to be made during IC collection.

For online application, think must scan the qualification cert n upload to the web. payment is thru credit card.
So you are born in tis mth?
 
StickyBFP:
How do accept PM?

Mina:
Then you are better than me. I hate milk even with flavoring, but now I am more tolerant with choco milk, but still dun like to drink milk. Then do you drink Ensure? You can take it? Should I start drinking Ensure for the selenium?
 
Happybb,
Dunno normal chicken essence w/o flavor does it better than with those flavor leh?
Wat do u tink?
Read in forum almost the girls here r taking cordyceps chicken essence wor!
 
hi gals,
our body cannot tolerate too high amt of selenium hor... if ur taking ensure milk then dun take brazil nuts... if brazil nuts then no ensure milk... cos can overdose very easily de... some vitamins or minerals very hard to overdose... but selenium must be careful...
 
Happybb,
How are u today?? No more spotting I hope!

Online test
I just took it. Result 43.5%. I pray that's true!

Jab report
Today was painful! Unlike yesterday where it was painles. Dunno why Le.....did the same thing. Hmm...maybe have to place icepack for a longer time on the spot? Somemore jab site bled too...

I spoke to Angela today. Asked her about food that I should avoid, and she said no cooling, raw stuff only. She said if acupuncture cause me anxiety due to needles, then best not to do!
 
stickybfp... ya... priority now is sticky bfp... will hv to sacrifice work... dh also say bb is priority now....

but hor... now think think, i'm wondering implantation bleeding will be so many days one meh? tot usually is 1 small dot? and it happens so late? confused...

faithbb... dunno abt the effects... i took wolfberries w red dates is bcos the smell is more bearable then normal chix essence... read in forum tat someone is taking it so tried it out... to me, wolfberries & red dates also impt since i din take the red dates tea regularly... think it depends on which one u feel more comfortable w...
 
bcube... still spotting... so resting at home... i din go for acupuncture... scared of the many needles poking into me all at the same time... just do watever u r comfortable w... there r just so many things to do & so many supplements to take... can't possibly do all & eat all...

About Selenium

Plant foods, such as vegetables, are the most common dietary sources of selenium. How much selenium is in the vegetables you eat depends on how much of the mineral was in the soil where the plants grew.

Fish, shellfish, red meat, grains, eggs, chicken, liver, and garlic are all good sources of selenium. Meats produced from animals that ate grains or plants found in selenium-rich soil have higher levels of selenium.

Brewer's yeast, wheat germ, and enriched breads are also good sources of selenium.

Females age 14 and older: 55 mcg/day

Effects of a Selenium Overdose

A selenium overdose can occur as the result of a single, large dose or from taking too much of it on a daily basis. Even though it may seem like a harmless mineral, selenium can cause some dangerous side effects, especially if an overdose occurs. Although some of these overdose effects do not appear to be serious, they can be signs of selenium toxicity. These effects include but are not limited to:


* Hair and nail brittleness
* A metallic taste in the mouth
* "Garlic" breath odor
* Fatigue
* Irritability
* Weight loss
* Muscle tenderness
* Nausea, vomiting, and abdominal (stomach) pain
* White, horizontal streaking of the fingernails
* Hair loss
* Shakiness
* Flushing (redness) of the face
* Cardiac arrest
* Heart failure
* Death.

Iloveshoes,
Thanks for the detailed explaination. I have a clearer picture. Always wanted to shed off my excess stubborn 3kgs. Think my metabolism slow down after giving birth.

StickyBFP,
Hihi, I am on my 8th days of progynova. When is your next scan? Yours at SGH? I've activated my PM.

Minakochang,
My 1st scan on 10 Jan. I went back to Paragon Eu Yan Sang for my acupuncture. Previous was with them during my fresh cycle. Not sure whether is it becos of acupuncture that I managed to conceive. Went back to them for a ease of mind since wanna try whatever possible ways. I have updated the list

Faithbb,
I saw from the list that you went for 1 embryo transfer. Did SF Loh advise you for 2 for higher chance? I am in dilemma whether to transfer 1 or 2 but afraid that if got 2 both BOYS how? Faint!

I rem when I was in 2ww previously, I went for normal chicken essence as the KKH nurse advise me not to go for cordyceps. Could be due to it is consider as chinese herbs ba and best not to take any during 2ww.

Anybody here has success rate of FET?
 
Happy: you take care and rest well, ok? I also told my mum liao. Now she fussing over me like to eat etc.
happy.gif


Faith: I did not drink essence. Think I very blur abt things so I just ate brazil nuts and colic acid daiy during my 2 ww. Also very naughty, I was out of bed since day 4 and then went back to work before hl ends. Then got I spotting episode and kena mc till 3 jan.
 
Hi Truffle,
Dr Loh seldom advised.
It shd b up to us.
I transfer one embryo is becoz my second embryo was not survive if not I'm sure to put in 2 for higher chance of getting pregnancy.
But too bad it juz one precious is surviving.
 
good morning everyone... all so early
happy.gif


Truffleapple, codyceps cannot take during 2ww? my tcm doc told me codyceps help implantation. during my last cycle i had codycep and ginseng + 2 others (grind together into powder) which i dun understand what are they (hehe)... and i'm gonna take it for my next cycle too leh...
 
Morning ladies,

Serene, i hit 30 last mth le.

Faithbb, the no. of cells in embbie you see from photo or ask embroylogist?

Jok, I tot transfer 2 or 3 embbies is decide by doc? They need to consider our age and health conditions.

Bobzai, I tot of buying ensure but worry too fattening as I'm overweight. Also worry too many things to eat during 2ww. For this fet, I'll be taking Dr Zou 2ww meds.

Ceraine, I remember during fresh I asked the embroylogist abt the grade of my embbies. They transfer 1 grade 4 & 3 into me. Then will freeze 2 grade 3 & 1 grade 4. But I understand sometimes after thaw the grade will change, during transfer also may change.

Btw, can anyone tell me what is the purposes of the no. of cells?
 
morning love....
*wave wave*

Morning truffle,
My scan is on 17th, all the way i no scan... And doc says onli 1 scan... Haha... Ya with sgh
 
Morning girls!

Minako: by day 3 the embryo should have 6 cells or more best is 8 cells n above ;) if they never reach the right number of cells meaning low chances that they will survive.. I had 28 embryos extracted n 14 fertilize after day 1 but slowly day 2 only left with 11 embryos come to day 3 left only 6 embryos that have more than 5cells
sad.gif
doctor say no point freezing those that have less than 5 cells although they r grade 1 the best because at the end they will not survive too..
 
Mina,
The embryologist told one.
We oso can see fm the photo no.of cells.

Ya hor gd questions wat does the cells nos.means???
If Grumpus read our forum sure she'll answer our questions.
Guess she's nt free le aft give birth de...
 
hi mina, i jus gotten my ic. just to let u know, dun need to submit qualidication cert. just update e qualification will do. i hav confirmed wif ica staff. so we r born in same year n mth
happy.gif
u also sagiturus?
 
Huh...Piggy,
Ohhh... Worry me leh.
In tis case my embby in my wombs cannot b survive lor as it is only 4 cells.
Tat means I got no hope lor.
Embby inside my wombs will not be developing n growing lor...rite?Worrying leh !!!
 
Faithbb: Not to worry so much.. for FET one maybe different. Since they can survive so well after thawing should be able to fight till they implant..
 


Faith: After thawing is normal that they will lost 1 to 2 cells but they will developed back the cells they lost so not to worry so much okay... must have faith in them
