Hi Ladies,

Do you know what Grading system does CARE uses for the embyros quality?

 

[leor]

Snoopy, I also like dishes with wine hehe...anyway, AMK is far for me. Thanks for the info.

red velvet, rest well and be ready for yr ET soon. Jia You.

Joyfully, congrats on yr ET today. Waiting for your good news

There are too many sisters here and almost all names sound the same haha very confuse lolz..."eyes rolling" and "eyes crossing"

 

[luvnhope]

Joyfully, wow!! 4 kids!! Hahah... Jiayou jiayou!! Btw, I just found out today Dr P has 4 kids!!

I went for BT today and then went to see Dr P cos i needed to get MC. Too early to see heartbeats. Most likely singleton.

 

[luvnhope]

codomo, CARE's grading is from 1 to 4 (correct, Joyfully?), 1 being the best.

 

[sunniehope]

Joyfully..I just PM you =)

 

[depressed_gal]

Sunnie, yup me 2 oso worried bout d injection, scared of needles. Nope i didnt c TCM. Just taking supplement n drinkin both LRD n ensure milk

Luv, nv say too early mayb u will hve suprise but anw singleton is oso gd as long as bfp

 

[luvnhope]

LaKi, hahah... already did my scan. Cannot see heartbeat yet, but did see the sac and yolk. I'm happy with singleton so long as it's a healthy pregnancy.

 

[adejoy]

Halo Luv, hee.. You are right! More impt is that the baby is healthy. Congrats again. Your daughter is going to have a playmate soon.

about the grading, I only know grade 1 being the best. Not sure if the range is between 1 to 4.

SunnieHope, glad that u r feeling better now. Take care girl! I have replied your pm. Btw, I also drank LRD.

Redvelvet, congrats on your successful ER! When is your ET, my dear sister? Ha, I was also very hungry after ET. And finished chicken rice set.

[luvnhope]

Joyfully, thanks! Just hope for everything to go smoothly till full-term delivery. Your turn soon in 2 weeks' time!

 

[hopeful_ting]

Joyfully, thanks! The pain is unbearable actually just wondering if it's normal Hee. I retrieve 19 yesterday, 12 matured and 8 fertilised. Hope all 8 will become my precious embbies! Fingers crossed that ET will be smooth smooth tml! You rest well! So excited for you! Everything is so smooth... Jia you! ☺

[blurbabe]

[chevynox]

[chevynox]

hey luv, hope u r doing great

[chevynox]

blurbabe, as i know, soya beancurd is considered "liang". try not to have too much ya. u can always have more meat n fish to increase protein

 

[blurbabe]

Thanks Chevy. I suddenly have a craving for soya beancurd.

 

[luvnhope]

hi Chevy, thanks! Hope you're doing fine too!

 

[chevynox]

hhmm......cravings? good sign wo! +ve +ve +ve +ve!

 

[chevynox]

hi cas, how r u doing?

 

[blurbabe]

Hope, usually when more than 15 embryos are retrieved, the pain is more intensed. I retrieved 16 and i had the pain till 3 days after ET. Don't worry. You are not alone.

 

[celchong514]

Red velvet, Hope, u guys have so many eggs! Envy envy.

Hope, but why they nly fertilize 8 out of 12?

luv, good to hear that you are doing good. Wish u everything smooth smooth for the months ahead

 

[celchong514]

Wanna find out if anyone has skin problem throughout the cycle? My clogged pores like getting bad to worse.

 

[red_velvet]

Thanks Leor, take care and rest well too!

Hope, wow, that's a lot of egg collection. Good for you.

so happy for you for the good results.
I am also experiencing pain and bloatedness now. My tummy look so big like pregnant. You doing better? Nurse said drink at 2 litre of water and eat/drink more protein. Take care dearie.

Joyfully, wow four children. I like that and hope you fulfill your dream.

 

[blurbabe]

Chevy, i will walk past the famous 51 tau huey stall everyday. Hard not to have any cravings... haa....

 

[luvnhope]

Thanks CelC! All the best to you too!

 

[piglet02]

Celc: matured = big enough. But to be fertilized, the eggs must have something inside not water. That y not all eggs matured can be fertilized.

 

[chevynox]

Luv, me doing good too...thanks

 

[chevynox]

Blurbabe, hahahaaaa...... must tahan!

 

[celchong514]

Oh.... I thought matured eggs means ok for the next step. Thanks for sharing.

 

[luvnhope]

CelC, it takes more than egg maturity for fertilisation to take place. Size is one indicator of maturity. Depends on the internal make-up of the egg and the sperm too to see whether they can interact and allow fertilisation to take place. Guess only the embryologists can know the details. Furthermore, if u're doing IVF (and not ICSI), it only means that they leave the eggs and sperm together in a petri dish and let fertilisation take place on its own. So if the sperm cannot penetrate the eggs, no fertilisation takes place at all. Even with ICSI, fertilisation is not guaranteed.

 

[adejoy]

Luv, thanks!

wishing you a smooth 9 months ahead!

Hope, congrats on the 8 fertilised eggs!

hope u can "fa" on this cycle.

pray that your pain will go away soon. Hugs!

12bhappy, replied your pm already.

Blurbabe, how are u feeling today? Got craving is gd!! Sign of pregnancy. May u bfp soon, and spread your bbdust to us!

Redvelvet, hugs. Pray that your pain will go away soon. I tried bedrest after the sharp pain on d2, and it helps to ease the pain. Take care, my dear sister.

Chevy, hi hi!! Thanks for dropping by!

 

[adejoy]

A million thanks to you!!

 

[adejoy]

Jiayou sisters in ER, ET and 2ww!!

Hope we all get bfp soon!!!

 

[luvnhope]

Joyfully, 哪里,哪里! I'm just sharing what I've learnt along the way. Much of what I shared in that earlier post is what I gathered from the KK embryologist. We asked him tons of questions after our two ETs, hahah...

 

[hopeful_ting]

Blurbabe, thanks! At least I know it's normal!

Red Velvet, you drink more water too! Nurse told me to eat 6-8 EW and drink 3 litres of water a day. Do you know when is your ET?

Joyfully, thanks! Hope everyone can 'fa fa fa'!!! BFP BFP!!!

Luv u know a lot!!! Hee!!!

Joyfully: welcome to 2ww! Hehe pls rest well ok? Hehe as I'm typing this, suddenly feel like I lost my boobs soreness & only slight cramps. Backache still there tho. But let's just be positive all e way! Jia yooo!

CelC, hehe of cos will let u all know. I'm counting down e days!!

Eskimobaby, my 12dpt is this Sat! Woahhhh so nervous! Let me gather all my courage then!

 

[luvnhope]

Eskimo, when's ur BT? Would u have ur BT b4 going back to school?

 

[red_velvet]

Ladies, after ET can go Acupunture or not?

Babysmurf, I don't mind taking the 9 after the huat (8). Haha.

Luv, you are indeed the walking Wikipedia.

Celc, when is your treatment? Luv is right. No of fertilized eggs more crucial. Building quality eggs more important.

Hope, ET on saturday. Embryologist will call me tmr for details. Take good care yourself.

 

[luvnhope]

redvelvet, no lah, i'm a troublesome patient who asks the docs and embryologists lotsa questions, hahah...

 

[i1bb]

My LUV is forever so wise.... Me luv.... Lolx

 

[luvnhope]

Hey i1BB!!! Tot u MIA again ah... ;P

 

[blurbabe]

Ain, my BT is on 25th. My boobs are also no longer as sore as previous. Seems like i have lost all the symptoms too except for the occassional twinges.

Luv, i think eskimo's BT is on 28th. By the way, i work in a school too, though not a teacher.

 

[luvnhope]

blurbabe, fellow staff in education.

You do admin work?

 

[hopeful_ting]

Gals im still experiencing a little bit of spotting after ER. Is it ok? Coz my ET is tml.

 

[hopeful_ting]

Red velvet! Hope you get the 9!!! Hee. All the best for your ET on sat also!

 

[piglet02]

Red velvet: Congrate on your 长长九九. If I not wrong accupture can still go after ET. To help implanting. Jia jia jia jia you

 

[blurbabe]

Luv, yep i am an AM. Hee...

Hope, the nurse ever told me that it is normal for slight spotting after ER. But if it gets too much, please quickly consult a doc. You may want to inform the nurse if you are still spotting tmr.

 

[hopeful_ting]

Blurbabe, it's not a lot. On and off only... Scared don't know if will affect the ET tml.
