Luvnhope, Babygalore, did you step out of the house during the 2ww? What did you take during this 2ww?
Hahah... thanks CelC!
Bbjourney, *ouch*
Thanks for being here to give us a kok on the head when needed!
BabyGalore cycle buddy, jiayou okie?
Let's banish our negative thoughts!
Sunstillshines, no, i chose not to go out. But if u think u'll feel less stressed going out, can do so lah.
Better than u feeling cooped up and stressed up! Happy mummy, happy babies!

Actually i have a confession to make. After all the talk abt testing yesterday, i couldn't resist the temptation and tested. Got a faint line!!
I'm ecstatic
but at the same time worried if my symptoms lessen. Also had a bad stomachache juz now. Hoping hard it won't affect anything or become a chemical preg, and that my BT results on Monday come back good. Sorry if I seem paranoid!
I'm ecstatic
Babyjourney, thought abt that too but decided i'll wait till Monday since there must be a reason they put the BT that day. Maybe to benchmark hCG level more accurately. And today's half day. Might not get the BT results back today anyway. I will tahan and try not to think too much.
But i think i'll pee on a stick tomorrow again to reassure myself, hahah...
Oh, and good thing I still have an tai yao from TCM doc that can last me till Monday.

Congrats Luvnhope! Really happy for u! Spread bb dust to us Hee!

Thanks Hope! Still doesn't feel very official yet until the BT.
Oh, you're using the new drug! Do u need to take the jab every day too? Cos the news said can reduce number of injections with this new drug. Was wondering if the injections are spaced out or if they mean that the drug works faster and therefore fewer jabs.

Luvnhope, at least it's something positive.... Just need to wait for the BT confirmation!
Yup fewer jabs. In fact I need to go back on D5 for scan to see if I'm responding well. If yes I think I don't need daily jabs. So from tml till D5, I don't need daily jabs yet. DH is so relief that he doesnt have to jab me for now haha. Hope everything will turn out fine!

Hope, my menses just came this morning. Called hospital and they said to go down on Monday. You feel any discomfort at all? It is unchattered water, kind of dunno what to expect from the new drug. So when is your next jab?

Hope, is today your day 3?
Thanks Hope!
Oh, that's good that you don't need daily injections. Gentler on your skin!
Hahah Mc... cheng ni gui yan
Thanks Depressed Gal!
I'm no expert and actually followed many of the advice given by the sisters here. The things i did differently from my 1st failed fresh and FET which i think helped are:
- Went for acupuncture and took TCM briefly b4 and during cycle (DH also went for TCM)
- Took Conceive Well, CoQ10 in addition to folic acid (first fresh only took folic acid)
- 1 bottle of chicken essence every day
- Red date drinks more often (esp from ER onwards)
- Cut out coffee and tea after ER
- Wore slippers at home to keep feet warm
- Wore long pants at night while sleeping (in aircon room usually) to keep warm; I used to just sleep in shorts
- Kept tummy warm with jacket or towel during 2ww
- Most importantly, tried to stay relaxed and stress free; rested whenever possible
Also,
- Tried different stimulation drug (GonalF instead of Menopur)
- Got to ER and ET earlier than b4 so that lining didn't get too thick
- Rested for longer time after ET b4 getting up
- Did Day 2 transfer instead of Day 3
- Assisted hatching was done which may have really made a difference
- Better post-ET support than in previous fresh cycle
Symptoms:
- Felt twinges while walking on d5p2dt
- Bloating started on d7p2dt after 2nd Ovidrel (hCG) support jab
- On-off cramps from d10p2dt onwards
- Some nausea at times
- Heightened sensitivity to smells
- Feeling more thirsty than usual and having dry, chapped lips (more so than usual)
- Waking up to pee at night
Whichever of the above methods worked, I'm very grateful for the advice of the sisters here.
Thanks all!
Sisters in 2ww too, jia you!!

Red velvet, today is my D2. Suppose to go down for a scan on 13th to see the progress. Nurse said if progress is good then I don't need daily jabs. Hmm what is Uncharttered water? Haha I lay down when the nurse jab me so I didn't really see. You at CARE?
Thanks Fou Fou!!
BabyGalore, first time round i tested in the afternoon. Very very very very faint line. Then this morning tested again using first morning urine. Slightly darker but still faint line. Maybe u can try to hold ur bladder for 4h at least and test if u can't wait till tmw morning so that it may be more concentrated. And dun take too much water b4 testing. Good luck!!

I never leave this thread since I joined in Feb. Have not been posting cos nothing much to contribute. Having mixed feeling at times, emotion up n down. Met up wi friends yesterday, all are mummies, felt so left out. Likely to start my final destination next mth. Initially plan to go pte but now decided to go back KKH as find it less stressful cos got subsidies. Wondering will I ever be a mother.... this dream seem to be far far away. Sorry to pour out my feeling here on a beautiful sat morning. There is no where else I can pour my emotion and no one else can understand my feeling except with all of u here in this forum.
Congrat to those sisters who BFP n all the best to those in the queue to BFP!

Bigbear, dont be despair! You will have your baby with you soon. Take one step at a time and make measurable plans. First got to decide which hospital you want to do your treatment and go from there.

BigBear, when is your next treatment?
Luv, many congrats! That time I tested before BT also only a faint line! Wish u double blessings this time! Jia u n all the best!!
Bigbear, don't give up ok.. Actually, go pte or stay at kkh doesn't really matter much. Sometimes I feel it's fate. Doesn't mean go pte sure success n public hosp won't. Who is yr doctor? Must stay positive n start ur preparation now, including tcm, some exercises, stay happy n stress free, n eat n sleep well.. U will make it this round! Jia you!!!

Cock cock, KKH will be Dr Sadhana. Previous 2 cycles also under her. Have been seeing TCM Dr Zou since march till now. Drink LRD 3-4 times a week, black chicken soup once a week, folic acid n Vit D daily plus brazil but occasionally. Wear sock n tummy warmer at night. Yoga weekly. Really do not know whatelse can I do. Arhh....only know I am less happy since started this journey as the subconscious stress start building up. Demoralise at times! Will try to relax more. Thank for being here watching us.

Luv, congrats! Am so happy for you!
I will be going to CARE on mon too... Haha, hope to bump into you!! Hope to grab bbdust from you in person!
Bigbear, please try to be positive. I strongly believe that it helps.
I have a friend who is diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer at start of this year, after giving birth to her twin boys, and was told that her chances of recovering is slim. But becos she is a positive person, her reading ( sorry, don't know what it is called) has dropped from 150plus to 26. Which means she is recovering very well (to be considered recover needs a
reading of 25 and below).
So, though we need medical help, our mental state being is also crucial in helping us to fight against any illness or disease! Jiayou.. We will be all here to support one another.
