My AF reported this afternoon. The cramps were so bad I broke out into cold sweat and had to squat in the train on my way home cause the aircon felt way too cold when I was standing. I missed my hubby so much then.

I had a very huge blood clot. Do any of you get that kind of menses after your IVF?

 

[leor]

Lynn and Pravda
Rest well and all the best to your ET on Thursday.

[dawndew]

Thanks, StickyBFP.

Yes, I felt so miserable I called home and asked my dad to pick me up from the MRT station. My mom brought dinner over also. Even though this IVF cycle was unsuccessful and there has been much discomfort, I am very blessed by the love from my family. My in-laws also went to buy bird's nest for me.

Janice - your immunity probably gets compromised during stress - next time stress approaching better up Vit C and rest more.

All the best for ER!

Having children not top priority for S'poreans: survey

SINGAPORE : Most young Singaporeans do not see having children as a top priority, according to a new survey of over 1,000 Singaporeans and permanent residents aged 21 to 39 years.

The study, by advocacy group I Love Children, showed that only 3 per cent see having kids as a top priority.

28 per cent want a successful career, while 25 per cent want financial independence.

The survey comes on the back of Singapore's fertility rate dropping to a record low of 1.16 last year.

Despite the results, it seems that Singaporeans do eventually want kids.

64 per cent said they still want to have children, and this includes those who already have kids and want more.

Of the remaining 36 per cent who did not want to have children or were not sure about it, 39 per cent said they would change their mind if finances were not an issue.

Almost half the group also said they would change their mind if they had a more supportive spouse.

And on the ideal number of children, married couples who already have two children said they would like to have up to four kids, provided they had a flexible work arrangement.

Singles and newly-weds though said they only want two kids at most.

Joni Ong, president of advocacy group I Love Children said: "The results came from 1008 respondents, and as you can see, the bulk of the respondents came from the single, soon to wed and the newly-wed. They formed the bulk of the respondents. And at that life stage, I'm not surprised that having children is not a top priority.

"At that age and life stage, carving a career for themselves, being financially independent would come out higher at that point in time."
