Ceo38... if near to the FET date, then have to do every day? I'm trying to plan my schedule and considering to have healing... hahaha... sound like lots of things to do. I'm trying not to be "over" as I still have to allocate time for my little one.

I started my med from Dr. Zou today, ok... I can accept the taste.

 

[luvnhope]

Hee... Yeah, I've also learnt a lot from what the ladies here have shared. Otherwise I also wldn't know what to find out from the nurses n docs too.

 

[luifei]

sistas, also have to take note that Dr Zou is going back to China for 2 weeks for CNY

 

[mmfeen]

hi sisters, do u have the email add of Dr tan heng hao from kkh. Pls give me tks.

 

[ron8129]

Hi JT - *Waves!* So nice to see you here again. Glad to hear you arrange for the FET. Looks like the LaoShi is gonna be very busy

<jia-you!> J03 and I were trying earlier to contact CLB as her twins are probably due (or maybe have delivered).

I'm good, looking forward to the Xmas break.. haha.. really no mood to work. Yes, still hanging around - habit liao to check this forum thread...hehehe..

 

[tub]

ok. A goondu qn here. When we see dr for scanning and bloodtests during stim, what's the number for the blood test for? Dr said my number up from 168 to 1300++. any idea?

 

[luvnhope]

Tub, I dun recall having BT during stim stage leh? Only b4 stim n b4 ET for me at least.

 

[sarah_ttc]

mmfeen: Dr Tan HH email is [email protected]

 

[karentey75]

Noy> it depends wor. I asked dr Zou de. She told me to go back more often during jabbing stage so I guai guai listen to her lor. Think she wants to try make our blood circulate better for the meds to run as well as prepare the womb. I would think that it's best you ask Dr Zou for her professional opinion if u shd go back more often nearing FET.

Tub, I also dnt recall any BT during stim stage leh

 

[joannetph]

Ron, so what's your plan now? Will be trying next year?

 

[ron8129]

Hi JT - after the Mar/Apr BFN, I took a few months off to sort out the mind &amp; soul, went to see Dr Zou, back to gymming &amp; healthy eating, and did 3rd fresh in late July. Now 5+ mths preggers

 

[joannetph]

Wow congrats Ron!! So happy for you too. I must really JY. Feeling so motivated now as u and J03 are both pregnant

So is yours twins? Boy or girl?

 

[ron8129]

JT - Thanks. Took a few cycles but the outcome is acceptable

Jia-you, ok? The road may be longer for some of us, but we are getting closer with each attempt. Singleton - should be girl.

 

[msdandelion]

Ladies, thank your very much for the advice, hugs and encouragement. Sorry for the late reply as I was feeling very down and gloomy for the past few days, just like the weather. I'm already feeling much better today. I'll need sometime to get myself mentally and physically fit before starting the next cycle. In the meantime, I'll continue to try naturally as suggested by the doctor. I've also decided to try TCM, acupuncture and maybe healing...

As of the egg quantity and quality, I've found an article on the internet that provides good explanation: http://www.advancedfertility.com/eggquantityquality.htm
In short, egg quantity or ovarian reserve can be identified by AMH levels, day 3 FSH or antral follicle counts using ultrasound. However, egg quality can only be determined after retrieval by the embryologist by looking at its maturity level, appearance and etc.

For my case, my FSH = 7.7 and antral follicle count = 13 on day 3. I did my AMH blood test yesterday to double confirm. My doctor was already expecting I might not be responding well but did not expect to be this bad...

Once again, I would like to thank everyone for being so supportive.
I wish all of you a Merry, Blessed Christmas &amp; Happy New Year! May your wish come true!

[luvnhope]

Good morning ladies!

 

[luvnhope]

[rainy1978]

i usually try not to go at night. afraid after healing, i'm too tired to drive home....hehe

 

[karentey75]

Morning ladies! LuvNhope, what I heard is tofu got estrogen n best to avoid during 2ww n preg. Well, I ate yong tau hu last week but only had a few mouth of the beancurd, ate fish all mostly. I think as long as don't eat too much shd b ok la. But of cos to play safe, best is dnt eat tofu lor

 

[luvnhope]

Ceo, that's what i'm afraid of too. But i also ate yong tau foo recently, heheh... There are a number of tofu dishes I usually love to eat leh! Sigh...

 

[goodies]

Dear all,

May be a repeated questions. As the thread go on very fast, pretty tough to search from history. For all those BFP mummies, do you work or stay at home religiously during the 2ww.

 

[celine80]

CEO,y must avoid tofu??

 

[luifei]

actualy i thought tofu is good for us, specially the 2ww? ( unleast you are talking about the Japanese egg tafu...)

 

[luvnhope]

Ehh?? But i just googled again and read that estrogen actually helps in pregnancy leh... Now confused.

 

[karentey75]

Mmmm I'm not too sure y can't take tofu. I also hear from sisters here. If u take a look at this google doc, the "dos n donts" part, it actually state avoid soy products:- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?hl=en_US&amp;key=0Akn4rrFWhKUAdE51a1ZOc1RtQ21sR185Wm52a3daSmc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;f=true&amp;noheader=false&amp;gid=5

I also found via the net the following info:-

"There's some research that suggests that soy products can decrease your fertility slightly. Something to do with the phytoestrogens that are so beneficial during the menopause."

 

[karentey75]

I'm not sure lah. For me, if I'm not sure, I jus play safe eat in moderation lor. Hee

 

[nurul_huda]
