Dear All,

I almost couldn't believe it when the nurse told me. Does anyone know how to interpret beta levels btw?

This is my first medicated FET under Dr Loh. I did a fresh IVF cycle in May 2011 and failed. Before I started, I didn't really have much hope as my menses had stopped for 2 months after my first IVF cycle. For my third month and this current FET, I had to take medication to stimulate my menses.

For the first time, I did fertility acupuncture (no TCM medication) under Raffles Hospital (Chinese Medicine section) for 5 sessions before my ET. My TCM Physician recommended that I drink longan & red date and brew black chicken soup and wear socks to retain the heat in my womb. Post ET and during 2ww, I followed the dos and don'ts as well, NO cold drinks, red bean soup at least 3-4 times a week, drank longan and red date and chicken essence almost daily and black chicken soup at least 3-4 times a week. I also made sure I consumed lots of natural protein in the form of egg whites (at least 2 hard boiled ones for me daily
happy.gif
), black chicken meat, fish and walnuts. I started taking brazil nuts (also a first for me) a day before my ET -polishing off at least 10-15 pieces daily. To ensure I had sufficient dietary fibre in my diet, I ate lots of natural walnuts and fruits (apples, kiwis) and was able to keep constipation away all this while. When I had slight bleeding, I was devasted as I thought my menses were coming and I almost gave up hope....

Looking back, I realised that conceivement really depends on the right timing, luck, faith.....and your mental state
happy.gif
I know I still have hurdles to cross 2 weeks later and the 1st trimester.......

Sorry for the lengthy story, just thought to share my experience and hopefully it may help someone!!

All the best to the rest of the gals here who are waiting for their BT, going thru 2ww or are pregnant!
 
Hi Joanne,

Apart from the once-a-week 2 half-boiled eggs with kaya butter toast, I didn't take any egg white.

From wat i understand, egg white is for egg growth during stimulation stage and to reduce bloatedness after ER. FET simulates a natural conception with med support so no need to grow eggs and no ER.

Sisters, anyone with better/clearer insight about this pls?
 
Hi goodgrl,

My first FET no symptoms and it failed. This time round also no symptoms so i tot more or less should be gone case.

During this 2ww, i kept observing and touching my breast coz i rem some sisters said one of the symptoms was fullness of breast and swollen tits. But neither happened to me.

I did observe one thing though. When i was cleaning myself, i felt my clit area was soft and tender which is unusual. Is this a symptom?

Since ytd, I started farting a lot and tummy kept bloating. Are these symptoms too?
 
For ladies going through medicated FET, do you have mucus during 2ww? It can be like as if going for ovulation. Is it normal?

Sugary, do you have experience sticky mucus this or past 2ww?
 
Hi Cocoapops,

Congrat... may I know when you start your acupuncture and start to take longan....
I am on stage 1, should I try take already, or izit too early
 
JoynFaith<font color="119911">thanks!!! for the excel sheet it's certainly much better and easier as in updating
happy.gif
but a question, do i just have to update and then click 'file-share' to save it? Cos it's my 1st time using this type of document, a bit blur hehe</font>

Ladies<font color="119911">As what JoynFaith + Sunnie Gal mentioned it's indeed a tad difficult to wait for me to update as im 6hrs behind SG time, so for all, it's certainly wiser to use the excel spreadsheet Joynfaith placed up there </font>
happy.gif


Meryl<font color="119911">yeah it's cold and the weather is turning to winter now..soon it'll be 7hrs apart instead of 6hrs--daylight savings time</font>

Chocolate/AngelsNDec/berrybaby/Noy/LuvNHope/&amp; other ladies starting another round in NOV<font color="119911"> How are you gals coping? As in have you gals started with any multi-vits, folic etc?? Im thinking of getting rapsberry leafs to drink as tea..anyone tried it yet or before? Really that good not?</font>
 
Hi Chrisl, i've only been taking folic acid. Seems like I'm rather laid-back as compared to other ladies here. Hmm... Still giving in to caffeine too. Terrible I know.
 
LuvNhope~ me too, i bought some folic acid but i didn't take them
sad.gif
i drink a little coffee too but recently switched to caffeine free ones with lotsa condensed milk..i find it very yummy haha maybe you can try reducing the dosage of caffeine day by day?
 
Me still drinking coffee too, tho try to keep to max two cups a day. No special diet changes too except maybe avoid soya. Just try to maintain balanced diet.

Good that u r taking nutritious food, Ling!

Do take the folic acid, Chrisl. Get ur DH to remind u?
happy.gif
 
i see on the list that Dr Loh is very popular..i reckoned that he's being sent over to thomson to salvage the situation there..
 
Chrisl, thanks for your green light on the move to the spreadsheet. It will auto-save whenever you make chances, so no others buttons are required. I've configured the file in a way only all of you are accessible by the given weblink. I'm not sure what will happen if you click share, don't know who would it be share to. Keke... it's also my first time using.

You can start with your folic acid, 5mg per day.

Cocoapops, congratulations on your BFP! Grabbing some baby dusts from you.
 
Cocoapops, congrats. Catching ur babydusts...

Dear all, i just came back from my SIS test. The doc told me i hv 3 small polyps and remain tightlip to all my other questions. she said to let Dr Loh decide. How ah now? Can still proceeds w ivf? I m feeling v down now.
sad.gif
 
BabyJourney, don't let this issue bring down your mood. You can't do anything now except to make yourself happy and look forward. Let alone, wait for Dr Loh's decision. Did the specialist tell when will she come back with an answer?
 
Babyjourney, is a lady dr, quite senior in age n an associate Prof right? Dr loh will clear your womb first before he will do Ivf. I went thru that last time. He WANs a perfect womb as far as possible coz Ivf is emotionally n financially draIning. Thus he wun let these kind of things hinder the success. Quickly fit an appointment end of the mth to see him n he will arrange for any other procedure he WANs to do for u before ivf
 


JoynFaith, she said will send the report to Dr Loh n let him decide n discuss w me. I will try to stay happy. Thanks.
happy.gif


Anyone has small polyps n still can proceed w ivf?
