Luvnhope,
Dr zhao told me before if the food is not eaten regularly like everyday then it doesnt affect much... So I guess the idea is moderation. The only food I avoid is Chinese cabbage (the long type).
Ladies,
Pls be careful with the supplements u take... Overdose of certain vitamins can cause abnormalities or defects in babies

Eskimobaby yup. But some TCM they use lotus seed porridge. I know 1 story a woman who bleed heavily and TCM who ask ask he consume lotus seed porridge give birth to healtu baby boy. Hopefully this nethod can help me to stop the spotting.

Kitty baby, "Menopur are used to help women with certain infertility problems to become pregnant. Menotropins work by stimulating the ovaries to produce eggs."
Dun feel guilty, just do what u can. : )
Me only started acc like mid way during my stage 1 & Dr Zou say a bit late. Anyway I go twice a week... Just try n see lor. At least I tried...

Cockcock, I am working hard toward my dream. Being my best to be an obedient girl though at times was tempted to eat/ drink things I should not. Pls do drop by more often ok! I have built the bonding wi u sisters here since I join this forum and remember all the support u have given me when I needed most.
Wild yam is good stuff. Simple way of cooking fresh wild yam is to steam it, then put some sugar (black sugar better) n serve hot. Or else can cook soup with lean meat, red date n wolfberry.
Nel: welcome. u may read through the archived post to find some tips, dos n don'ts for ivf shared by other sisters before. When is ur cycle? Have u registered?

niko_michi: you are right I guess, i just find it a bit stressful to read/hear abt baby stuff nowadays... but I really admire your positive spirit, especially after what you have been thru.
Egg Factory, to be frank i m not strong enuf though. i still blame myself for the miscarriage. i felt helpless that I can't even help my little one. Till today, i still wondering how come i got bad shiverings that nitez. i still need time to heal but i think by sharing here in the forum will relieve myself from stress and allay my anxiety. The only thing i can do now is not to repeat the history again in my next round ivf.

iBB, Piky: i just make a diet schedule for myself and read through our old posts and google about "selenium"
here is the fact sheet provided by http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/selenium-HealthProfessional/
What is selenium?
Selenium is a trace mineral that is essential to good health but required only in small amounts [1,2]. Selenium is incorporated into proteins to make selenoproteins, which are important antioxidant enzymes. The antioxidant properties of selenoproteins help prevent cellular damage from free radicals. Free radicals are natural by-products of oxygen metabolism that may contribute to the development of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease [2,3]. Other selenoproteins help regulate thyroid function and play a role in the immune system [4-7].
Who may need supplemental selenium?
In the U.S., most cases of selenium depletion or deficiency are associated with severe gastrointestinal problems, such as Crohn's disease, or with surgical removal of part of the stomach. These and other gastrointestinal disorders can impair selenium absorption [24-26]. People with acute severe illness who develop inflammation and widespread infection often have decreased levels of selenium in their blood [27]. Physicians will evaluate individuals who have gastrointestinal disease or severe infection for depleted blood levels of selenium to determine the need for supplementation.
My conclusion about the fact sheet is that selenium is acts on more antioxidant role (repairing tissue cells). It is good to have but in small quantity. The fact sheet didn't mentioned the range of amount intake.
However, the implantation is concern more on the lining and also uterus contraction during 2ww. So, what i did last time before the EC, i asked the nurse my lining measurement as i forgot to asked the doctor earlier on. There is a report on the lining which you will done earlier on before you start the lucrin injection. According to nurse, as long as above 8 it will be fine. Mine is 11 or more than 11, i can't remember. So, I am not so worry about that. If you have lining issue, please consult the doctor what to do first before EC. As for the uterus contraction, don't do anything that can make your uterus contract such as watching a horror movie, drink cold water, jump up and down, carry heavy stuff, food poisoning etc...
Sisters, you know what...as i gone thru all the conversation here throughout the thread, i find that i clarified a lot of qs which I don't know what to ask during my first pregnancy or I was damn blur....LOL

JoynFaith, I am also thinking of ending my NP leave earlier and go back to work rather than to laze around. However my hubby strongly objects to it, he seems to be super protective now..think due to my last year's mc. Will just wait a while more, maybe seek my doctor's opinion then discuss with DH again.
Cockcock, what I am guessing is what you were most worried about since a few weeks ago. Are we on the same ballpark?
Shainie, looks like you found an effective way to stop spotting. Just be careful & continue to monitor but don't feel too stressed up yah.
Blurxuan, I also have pulling sensations on and off. Should be normal if no spotting.
Regarding mangoes, take in moderation. I ate quite a few too but stopped after I started to feel heaty. Just sharing two links I found which mentioned about mango during ttc and pregnancy, FYI.

blur xuan, just to share with you one funny thing about me during my last pregnancy. i don't have food craving but i notice my little one love vegetarian in moderate and i was so so fancy about yellow and blue colours. everything i see in blue and yellow, i found that so beautiful and i only love to watch this cartoon movie "beauty and the beast". i can keep repeating watch it for up to 3 times a day and before i sleep, i must listen to that song first...sighs..what a funny experience yet i still love it. may my little one gather with others in the heaven now...
Hi Shainie,
Since your are on/off spotting pls get more bed rest... Dr Zou had told me before she has 1 customer who was spotting too and the MO refuse to give her that injection. She insisted on getting the jab so she stand and waited there for 1hr, eventually they gave her. That jab save her babies, she gave birth to twins!
Congrats on you having twins too, so happy for you...
Hi Blur_xuan,
I too keep having backaches at night and now having still.... Breast pain, slight headache and tummy cramps!
Went for for BT on Sat, told SSN Angie, I need to do BT as my HPT was BFP. Initially she did say Sat do blood test, only Mon than can collect medi. I told her that I am very worried bec of my miscarriage the last time and told her I can wait for the results. Told her last time I had waited before and the result was out in 2 hrs.
She was very nice that day and did helped me rush for my blood result and gave me the prescription in advance so I do not need to ret today. Within an hr+ I have the results, my HCG was 550.4, Day 15 reading.
The medi I was given is Dydrogesterone 10mg, 1 tablet 2xs daily for 1 month + daily Folic acid. Happy that I can stop taking Aspirin. My scan is on 16th May with Dr Tan, can't wait.
I am 38 this yr and have been trying for 5yrs. Really worried bec of my age I will be expected to take a lot of test onwards. Praying for a safe and healthy pregnancy...
Spreading baby dust to everyone...
