[summer13]

Hi queenie, today is my d4 of puregon. Am a poor responder and low ovarian reserve, so am quite worried. Btw, am on 5 days of letrozole started fm d2. I refer to my schedule, friday is my d10 scan, confuse! I started my injection on d5.

 

[qingwei]

Summer, yup scan on this fri. So I'm thinking y I'm doing a day8 scan. Won't it be too late if follicles too small.
I guess I'm too relax. Like nothing much for me to worry.

Queenie, I'm day7 tml.

 

[jklim4642]

Goodness me, only d6 of lucrin jabs I m already aching lower body! I very pek chek n still need to fire fighting at work everyday!! Ache until I walk like pregnant lady!

 

[qingwei]

Hazel, lucrin make my hands n legs numb. No strength at all.
Now worst, bloated, cramp, numb, backaches. Like af coming.

 

[jklim4642]

Qingwei, I don't recall it was this bad in 2009 when I did fresh cycle.. I very pek chek ok.. Still need to work n it was. Aggressive until it zip me off of all energy! U working?

 

[qingwei]

Hazel, working. I busy finish my work so my colleagues won't need to do n still can wait till I go back from hl.
Busy giving training as well. Hope all can work WO me during my hl. Lucky my coy small. So work either wait for me or they diy.

 

[queenie122009]

Hi, bingo, u tmr is e2 blood test + v scan + purchase of gonal f + training on using gonal f.. Pretty fast, if no need wait too long.. Then wait for them to call to confirm if BT results okie to start gonal f jabs..

 

[jklim4642]

Qingwei, Highly unlikely I can finish b4 I go on hl. Will hv to work at home n do teleconf. Even more sian! I m already groaning from the aches.. Butt, thighs, back, etc. Is those poking aches. Can't imagine wat it wld be like when I start gonal-f n luveris jabs. Super sianz now!

 

[queenie122009]

Qingwei, yalor..
Kk does day8 scan.. But cos my day 8 is on tis sat, they ask me do on tis fri..
Other sisters, r we supposed to feel anythg whn on gonal f? Juz wondering "r my follicles growing well?""

 

[cutebingo]

thanks queenie! so when is your next appt?

 

[queenie122009]

Bingo, tis friday.. To scan on my follicles..

 

[babybun]

Queenie, I did not feel anything until day 5-6 of gonal f. What I felt was bloatness, tiredness, nauseous and increased discharge.

 

[superwhitetiger]

Just did my scan.. Only ended up with 9 follicles. Am worried I ll not end up with sufficient..

 

[daylesford]

whitetiger,
Don't worry too much! Ur gonalF dosage remains the same ? Its the quality that counts. U need just 1 strong embryo to make things happen. Meanwhile stay relax...

Morning Sistas >> Seems like i am the odd ball, active in the day, the posts seems to be coming in later in the evening So i am playing catch up now

Hi 12bhappy >> are the patches the same as Pregnyl jabs in terms of function? currently i am jabbing this 2000 iu every three days. So the next jab is on thr 7th May.

I did called the clinic again, and ask them what i will do doing this Fri, the clinic said just collect more inserts that is all. No matter when i am there tomorrow morning, i will just triple confirm with them again. Just feel insecure like that could have missed out something coz i see all the sistas in 2ww have blood tests.

Pregnancy test i will update you guys tomorrow after i have gone to the clinic, as of now, i am also not too sure, but i am guessing should be on the 16th May. (Monday). PinkC will pass the baby dust to you, than u pass to me ok heehee.

For me, DR only allow me to put in 02 embbies

Argue with him long time, but he wont hear of it, he said 02 embbies, and that is final.

Hi PinkC >> Dont worry i can drive, i got a hand me down car from my hubby and the car is "armed" with a navigator, heehee, so we can go anywhere, i can meet you guys at a MRT station for pick up, say maybe Kembangang, or Bedok, than we can "cheong" to the makan place. Have you guys heard of the steam boat and chicken rice at Beach Road, hmmm Golden Mile Tower, i heard that one super yummy.

Any more Sistas ard the area and free can join us lor, car can sit two more, or we can cheong to Jurong IMM, just for the sake of killing time i am also ok heehee. Free parking some more

Another question, are you on Pregnyl jabs? I read from some forums if we are on these jabs, cannot take the test so soon. 10 May coming very soon

Hi BabyBun >> I think dont drink so much water at one time, about 250ml, the standard cup is alright. But important is drink loads of water, i think 2L is about standard During my stimulation period, i feel ok, nothing strange, in fact took a long time for my follicles to react, DR have to increase all the way to 300 iu to only get 13 follicles (for ER size). Dr said i very HIGH BMI, means fat fat lor. so need to jab more

Hi SilSilly >> Is everything ok, u missing for a few days. Am getting worried.

 

[12bhappy]

Good mornin sisters... * Big Smile ^_____^ *

Hihi bb nn - e patches are to prevent my E2 fr dropping. Haha.. U so funny, can cheong all e way to IMM!!! U mus hv real passion to drive Im e lazy driver. My preg test will be on 12May. Soooo wherther i will spend my birthday smiling or cryin.. Tt will b THE DAY. Hehe.

Yes, do make sure u triple cfm wz em or mayb insist an explaination y no blood test require. Face to face is btr via fone.

Pink ~ Awakie?

NW tinkin wat to eat for lunch liao. Haha..

 

[jklim4642]

Bb_nn, ur jab not as high dosage as mine. This time my dosage is 375iu. In 2009 it was 300iu. During scan in 2009 saw only 5 follicles. On ER, retrieved 8 though n 5 fertilized. My BMI is fine

 

[joannetph]

J03. Can I know during your 2WW, how often u drank the home-made chicken essence? How about the bottled essence? Did you drink on alternative days?

 

[qingwei]

Hazel, I also dont think I can finish my work.
I will try not to bring laptop home so I won't need to work from hm.

Queenie, weird. Kkh do operate on sat so y ur appt is on fri??

I'm super late for work. Suppose to finish my 10EW but my kettle spolit. Need to use stove to boil water. Now still waiting.

[bb_nn]

Hi 12bhappy >> i am ok if you girls are ok there also have loads of food slurp. I also cracking my head for lunch, still have some left over cooked pasta in the fridge, really scratch head, can i eat Mac Donalds now?

Hi Hazel >> For the 1st IUI i have, the DR gave me 100 iu -> 125 iu -> 175 iu, only produce one follicle, so for this IVF, he said start with 250 iu and increase to 300 iu, he said i am over weight, my BMI 29 lor, can break scale that kind . i prefer to believe i have HEAVY BONES.

[sarah_ttc]

hi all, may I know normally how u all buy the immunocal? buy from OG or call and order?

 

[glimmer_of_hope]

Tks melodi for spreading our apr dust to sistas i left out..any dust fr us is powerful..hehe
Qingwei, summer, hazel, babybun, CEO38, bingo, fatefully, whitetiger sistas in simulation have beautiful eggs -> embryos -> BFP -> bbies! Tks for sharing our joy we will look fwd to yr joy in mths time..

CLB, sorry to hear yr MS quite tough..but at least now yr co knows yr journey not easy so will understand yr absent. now imptly is to take care &amp; fight the MS, 1st trimester will soon be over. dr loh just warned me in case the 3rd embryo he trsf is somewhere in tube so hv to monitor any pain. tat Y trsf 2 is the best!

J03, u r lucky another DEC bb, can go holiday celebrate yr kids BD together save cost! hearing fr yr experience i now look fwd to giving birth in the cool climate..my girl was in June aiyoh was terribly hot &amp; so suffering for my confinement. hence telling myself the next bb i hv to plan yr end ones..let's pray hard we can hold them tight in dec

 

[joannetph]

Sarah, i bought mine from OG. But if u can wait, easier to just call and order. Not sure whether there is a delivery charge...

 

[sarah_ttc]

Hi Joanne, is OG member entitled for the discount on the purchase of immunocal? normally how many pack taken each day? When to start taking if I plan to start my IVF in Jul/Aug? Isz too late to start now?

 

[joannetph]

Sarah, it's still early to start now. U can start taking immunocal when you start your suppression jabs. Can buy at Chinatown OC Counter 33. OG member can get discount, so better for u... for delivery, must order 2 boxes to get free delivery.

 

[joannetph]

Sasrah, for preparation, apart from the conceive well and folic acid, can consider taking royal jelly, cut down coffee, and eat fresh - lots of veggies and fruits.

 

[pinkcapri]

12bhappy/bb_nn> hey ladies..am back. lunch time?am just goin to fix some s/w n mayb milo...n stay glued to the forum..hahaha....

any plans to day?

12bhappy> ur gastric better liao?

 

[sarah_ttc]

Joanne, most of sistas here taking royaljelly? I taking cordyceps so wonder whether i shld take royal jelly also.

 

[joannetph]

Sarah, actually I did not take royal jelly. I am now taking Concieve well, go gor accupuncture and take the herb drinks.

 

[sarah_ttc]

Joanne, u doing acupunture at Dr Zou place?

 

[cutebingo]

Morning sisters!
I stay in the east too (pasir ris), yes changi village has alot of good food, the carrot cake is the best!

Queenie, I rem you start your gonal f the next day after your appt rite? If blood test ok, I will start on sat.. I realize I always lapse you a few days in injection or appt.. Haha..
Wat is your dosage ah? Mine is 225....
Btw sisters, did dr prescribe antibotics for Hubby? When I collected my gonal f, he was given antibotics too for 1 week.. Is this the usual practice?

 

[queenie122009]

Hi, qingwei,
Oso good lah.. Tat my test is earlier by 1 day cos I m starting to worry if my follicles r increasing &amp; doing well inside..
Heehee.. I never finished my work too.. Left abit for my colleagues to handle.. Called them via phone to get them to help.. Wat to do? Work can't finish one lo..

Hi, Sarah,
The last time I bot immunocal @ OG, 2 weekends ago, no direct discount for members. Give me a $5 discount (stamp) to b used in next purchase... Btw, whn u buy fr OG, don't bother to search for it.. They don't place them visibly on the display racks.. Juz ask the promoters @ the supplements dept "I wan to buy immunocal"... They ll bring out fr the storeroom..

 

[12bhappy]

Pink ~ yeah... My body clock still at 6am n surprise tt noon body nt interestd to nap. Haha. Gastric is gettg btr day by day...with e patch,i feel body abit slow as in floating. ;p Thk u for askin . Still tinkin wats for lunch.. Mayb walk to east pt wz mummy. S/w sounds gd!!!
