"Big bear hugz" to you. just have a good cry now to let go of e agony (but just 1day max. hor) & then take time off to indulge in yourself - go for sprees, makans, trips etc, whatever that makes you happier & then nurse back your body & mood. Take care!

Went to Zou today for the first time. Wow she uses electric currents with her acupuncture, never tried that before. A bit scary and my legs kept jerking uncontrollably haha
This link is a good information to know about care during pregnancy by KKH...

Thanks for all the hugs and well wishes. I am ok and I will not give up. Have already made appointment to see Dr Matthew Lau in mid May to review and see what is the next step.
In the meantime, I would like to build by DH and my health to get it ready for the next try.
Anyone can share with me what are the vitamins to take for myself and DH before going on IVF? Thanks!

Ching, thanks for your concern. I hv been drinking lots of water. i recovered from my uti but last fri it happened again so sat went down to O&G but Dr Loh was still at TFC so i saw Dr Marieanne instead. I was given another course of antibiotic and also did another urine culture. Today my urine is clearing up. Hope it stays that way. @prays hard@

i kay poh again google about wild yam. here some info about the wild yam for your reading pleasure.
Dioscorea villosa is a species of a twining tuberous vine that is native to and found growing wild in North America. Its fame is based on its steroid-like saponins which can be chemically converted to progesterone contraceptives; and cortisone.
Wild Yam is believed to be helpful to the liver and endocrine system. It regulates the female system, particularly during menstrual distress and menopause,as well as used in treating infertility. Used with chasteberry and dandelion it is an effective treatment for morning sickness[citation needed].
Usually found wild in the eastern half of North America, it is a perennial plant that is a low creeper, and occupies average to poor soils and full sun.
It has been hypothesized 1 that wild yam ( Dioscorea villosa and other Dioscorea species) possesses dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)-like properties and acts as a precursor to human sex hormones such as estrogen and progesterone 2.
Based on this proposed mechanism, extracts of the plant have been used to treat painful menstruation, hot flushes, and headaches associated with menopause[citation needed].
**However, these uses are based on a misconception that wild yam contains hormones or hormonal precursors - largely due to the historical fact that progesterone, androgens, and cortisone were chemically manufactured from Mexican wild yam in the 1960s[citation needed]. It is unlikely that this chemical conversion to progesterone occurs in the human body[citation needed]. The hormonal activity of some topical wild yam preparations has been attributed to adulteration with synthetic progesterone by manufacturers, although there is limited evidence in this area[citation needed].
The effects of the wild yam saponin constituent "diosgenin" on lipid metabolism are well documented in animal models and are possibly due to impaired intestinal cholesterol absorption[citation needed]. However, its purported hypocholesterolemic effect in humans and the feasibility of long-term use warrant further investigation[citation needed].
There are few reported contraindications to the use of wild yam in adults[citation needed]. However, there are no reliable safety or toxicity studies during pregnancy, lactation, or childhood[citation needed].
Some herbalists recommend Wild Yam as a natural contraceptive or birth control measure.

throll ooh ok, yup I think Zou should be good since her business is so good! Had to wait almost 2 hours and it's off-peak somemore. You did natural FET right? I'm doing it (should be next week, if lining okay-fingers crossed) and hope I can BFP like you! Which day did you start your progesterone?

Minnie, sorry to hear about the news.
Take heart. Go for a short trip, indulge yourself for a while. Cry if you need to.
When I failed my fresh cycle in Nov, I cried / wept for almost a full 2 weeks and reflected on what I had not done enough previously. I slipped into depression and usually all the tearing happened at night. Talk to your husband. Have a hearty talk and plan on when you would like to start againz. You need to take care of your body and to prepare for the next journey. There is a grieving period, after that you need to brace yourself and move on.
If you need to take time off from the forum, do so (If posts about BFP and 2WW are makin you depressed) Do things that you enjoy. All in the bid to heal yourself and prepare for the next fight. Come back stronger!

Niko, Wild yam is Huai Shan in mandarin. The white long and hard dried food commonly selling in NTUC.
Does this mean we should avoid it?

Bbjourney, thank for rooting for me. Will continue to work hard in fulfilling my dreams! Hope u are getting better and a smooth sailing pregnancy ahead
1BB, the brand of the Vit D I am taking is Detrix precribe by Dr and bought it from Dr's clinic. Not sure whether they sell it outside. You may like to check out at pharmacy.
