Congrats to Chevy! Bb shower - hope you have twins and big bear - jia you jia you!

sigh... cant help but feeling so envious... BFP seems like an easy task for the sisters here...

anyway chevy, can you share where you get your tummy warmer? Dr Zou also said I had cold uterus and probably thats why mc.

Also i am curious about this. I have been taking vits etc to increase my antioxidant levels...it has been improving (feel better, scars recover faster and less fatigue)... also not young anymore so thought having more antioxidants at least try to maintain the quality of my eggs... but i saw this article where it says, Antioxidants Might Cause Fertility Problems in Females, Scientists Discover
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/01/110118101342.htm ....hmm and my doc was surprised with gonal f 300 and a ok ovarian reserve (AMA test), i only yield like 5 eggs... sisters any thots?
 
Thank MC & bub for rooting for me!

Bub, may be gonal f is not suitable for u. In ivf journey, the dr may have to try n error in order to find a medication that suit u & can yield good result. Just like some work well with puregon whereas not for me. Don't be despairs, let's continue to Jia you!
 
Thanks MC, especially for introducing me the warmer

Thanks Bub..... it's ok to feel envious but never never never give up or despair! Must fight on! There are many who tried numerous times and finally suceeded. They are the ones we looked up to. Their perservance and determination is to be emulated.

I bought my tummy warmer from Daiso. You may try too

I do understand the Uniqlo has it but only during their winter collection. HTHs!
 
Regarding supplements...I believe in moderation

The article didn't stated the dosage of antioxidants that is deemed to be the cause of infertility.
 
Congratulations Chevy! Wishing you a smooth 9 months ahead! Thanks for sharing what you did during the journey. All these info is so helpful

Is the chicken essence the normal bottled ones?

Thanks, MC_007, I'm going to go and buy immunocal the day I return to Singapore! (I'm currently on a work trip)

My cousin recently sent me a link which I want to share with the sisters here. I think it may be useful especially for those who recently BFP!

Yepz, I took the normal bottled ones.
 
Hi Chevy,

Thanks for your reply and congrats to you once again. Will go and buy the tummy warmer later.
I'm with Mt E, Dr Charles Lim.
This is my 2nd fresh (1st fresh failed and I have no frozen).
I hope my embies will grow well and have a successful procedure too.
Thanks and good luck to all.
Any other things to take note? Must bedrest for how long?
 
Chevy: I will get the tummy warmer from Daiso too. Thanks for sharing. Congrats too.

Bub: feeling so envious too.

Big Bear: Thanks.

Dragonic: Congrats

MC_007: Sorry i missed your post. When can i buy immunocal?
 
HI Laki Gal, no no we WILL BE cycle buddies
happy.gif

I start in Aug too.
Doctor said to call him on the 1st day of AF to arrange blood test on Day 2. Based on my calculation, my AF should arrive around 1 Aug.

So right now, I have 1 month to prepare. But I'm currently on work trip for almost 2 weeks. After which, I will only have 2 weeks until Aug. I think I will just do my best lah and hopefully it will be good enough. I don't want to stress out too much about it either.
 
Dear Ladies under TFC

I'm starting my IVF this Sep with Dr Loh. I just call TFC whether i need to go to sign any documents, the nurse said that i only need to call them on the 1st day of period. But i remember Dr Loh told me to submit the letter (he pass to me on Apr'12) to TFC on Jul.

Is it true that i only need to call them on Sep when my menses come?
 
congrats to BFP sistas! quite a few good news these days..=)

KTY: so happy to see a familiar name in your post...I was with Dr Charles too..hope you will BFP under him soon...he had quite a good success rate when I bfp-ed under him...all the best of luck to you!!
 
Thanks Cat n Karou n all the ladies who ve been rooting for me for us thank you very much.

Karou I also dunnoe if twins or not only understand from the nurse the reading is quite high given that I tested earlier then my actual BT date. Just to chk normally the reading wil increase by how much daily?

Just hope I ve a happy n healthy bb☺

THanks Luv n Bub. Bub ya thanks u remember the beehoon thg.

JNing ya I was awake at 3am to find food! Seems like every 3hrs I get hungry. N usually night I get to slp very little. Actually thru out the 2ww I din slp alot. Cramps n hunger always happen at night.
 
Rooting now for JNing and 12bhappy!!!

Jiayou girls! May both of you be granted with your dreams and get a bfp on your BT tomorrow!!

Jiayou jiayou jiayou!!!
 
Thanks Chevvy, yes I will jia you too! Thats what i thot as well with regards to antioxidants... how can it be bad right? It is supposed to repair the cells... anyway.

I sleep better at night after Dr Zou accupuncture.... u gals too? I think it produce endorphines too! Felt happier! haha

wondering if Celc is feeling betta....

Joyfully - how are u feeling? =)

Hey KTY, u with Charles? Haha i was considering him initially too cos one of my gfs is with him... she said he is very aggressive... haha
 
Babysmurf, you're referring to sleeping position just after BD or during 2ww?

I also have retroverted uterus. In 2ww, I just slept on my back or my left (cos I've read that blood flow to uterus and baby is best in this position). Don't think sleeping position would make much of a difference in 2ww cos embie would already be inside anyway.

If u're referring to after BD, I've heard some saying to lie on your tummy. But I've not tried that b4.

When's your next cycle?

Just to share with u gals my 2ww symptoms n thgs I do that might be of help for being positive.
Symptoms: cramp for almost 2week after ET n usually night time, day 5-9 very bad cramp I guess it's implantation.
- ve smaller appetite n eat very very little only 14dpt onwards appetite is back n gets hungry almost every 3hrs.
- occasional headache n giddy
- ve constipation for days n then diarrhea too
- weird dreams on 10 n 11dpt whereby I tested positive.

Seems like I Kenna quite alot of symptoms.
Things I do n food I took.
- wore thin socks thru out the day n thick socks for slping n of coz wore home slippers at home.
- dun ve tummy warmer so I cover my tummy with a towel to keep warm n told my bb the towel is their "Chou chou" smelly blanket☺
- ate brazil nuts 3-5pcs daily.
- drink bottled chicken essence mixed with cordyceps daily from day 3 onwards
- ate durian on day 5-8
- ate apple daily but misses 1 or 2 days coz out of stock at home.
- ate golden kiwi on 2weeks onwards
- drank ensure milk
- only drank LRD when tummy feel cold
- ate folic acid daily

So far this is what I can think of most of it is pass down by previous sister who ve BFP! Thanks to them!
 
Thanks Biggly.. I conceived my son under him in 2009 thro SO-IUI but this #2 is like very difficult to conceive. Hope lady luck is with me this time round. U are already preggy or trying for another?
 
Bub,
Ya I m with him for 4 yrs already and I really like him. I have a lot of undelying problems and he did help me a lot. U can consider trying him

Congrats Bbshower!!!!
JNing! Rooting for you for tml BT! Jia you!!!! And the sisters who are having BT for the rest of the week....Hee can't rem whose next Hee. All jia you ok!
happy.gif
 
psp - Longan Red Dates Tea. i think from Dr Zou... she asked me to take this every morning and night to keep uterus warm
 
Luvnhope: yap yap thank. Today then I know I have this problem. I will change my sleeping position maybe try sleeping on tummy right.
 


Babysmurf, if normal times, shldn't matter how u sleep. LOL. If after BD, then can try. But maybe double confirm with ur TCM doc? My TCM doc also did mention b4 that if trying naturally, need higher volume of men's soldiers to BFP.
