INFO- I BOLD TO HIGHLIGHT and catch attention to all ladies here not angry ok..
i am not often on this thread as i have been a silent reader all these while but personally i feel that ladies who bfp-ed (well apart from some nice nice ladies like Joy and a handful of others before like heartbeats and sashamamma etc sharing their ivf experiences and info) - a pat on your backs!! Thank you! But the rest like to example say exchange msg like experiencing puking/scannngs etc should maybe go to the other thread to share the symptoms and all such matters (symptoms, baby stuffs)pertaining to motherhood and refrain from posting and 'robbing' us of this thread here..i am writing from a person yearning-to-get-pregnant's perspective, i find this thread is our only 'agony aunt' place where we non pregnant can find solace in. (right ladies??)
No doubt some of you might say that 'THIS IS A PUBLIC FORUM' but what is the point of having relevant threads pertaining to the topic then or PM functions??? Please learn how to use the PM functions (go to your profile and uncheck *do not send me email from other members*)
Or some of you might say 'Oh you're too sensitive' but deep down, do you seriously will think so when you are in our shoes? are you sure?? When you are trying so long and yet nothing happens (i strongly believe that there are numerous ladies here who share the same sentiments as me but do not really voice out) I therefore hope that being the vocal one, i DO NOT risk people flaming me after i post this message..as i really hope to give voice to the ladies suffering in silence all these while..
Do not get me wrong, while i really feel genuinely happy for those who are successful, but ladies who bask in the joys of motherhood should also be considerate to others feelings as well..some ladies here have not even experienced the feeling of being pregnant not once..so it really hurts to us many many many silent ladies here no matter what. And from experience, i can truely and frankly say all these..
So peace ok?? BFP-ed ladies please be nice to us all ok-- be reminded to post in other many many MTB threads in Singapore motherhood forum..and oh, here wishing bfp-ed ladies a smooth pregnancy!
peace and signing off..

cool down gal1979..sometimes bfp-ed sister advises are so useful to us..
Gal1979 no worries. Y we still stick to this thread is becoz the other thread is moving too fast n also most of them r towards giving birth stage n both Chevy m I r first timer, n their topic seems a bit far from what we can handle or understand. And I felt that even b4 getting BFP I would like to hear Sis here who ve BFP what r the symptom they face so we can ve an idea what to look out for
n also curious if they get singleton or twin thru ivf. It's good to ve positive input here so the sisters here won't always feel so negative abt pregnancy
just my thgts
gal1979, yeah, an tai yao during 2ww. Like Bbjourney says, just ensure u take Western med and TCM at least 2h apart. Then shld be fine. I was sceptical in my first cycle and din take TCM at all. Decided to try it out in 2nd cycle, and it worked! No harm trying out.
Jkiss, how come u're not on any support med? U're doing FET? Yeah, then all the more u can take TCM.

Jkiss, better check with Dr Zou if the med u have now is still suitable to take after ET. Cos might be diff type of med for diff stage? Dun take the wrong type of med!!
Better to take at least 2h apart. That's what my TCM doc said too.
After ET, u shld have some support too right? Like prog insert or oral med? If u wanna be safe, can consider these western med too.

jkiss..i took dr zou med during 2ww till now...i think it helps butreally up to one's comfort level.
gal1979, i agreed with bbshower, we are sticking ard here becos we already know each other so well previously and wld also like to share some joy and inject positive energy here..thishas been always the case in the past. yes, we are definitely aware of the feeling sistars hv here...we hv all been thru this phase...so dun think we need the bolded msg..jus my personal view...

Luv so tat mean af ET we shld b given some med? Guess i need to know wat will b given b4 ER & ET coz i b gg for my ivf nxt mth. Feeling nervous.
Hi gals. I am a silent reader here. Truthfully speaking the success stories that you all write down, your journey is an inspiration. We are all in the same boat, we have difficulty in having natural pregnancy that they are seeking alternative solutions. Some of them here are blessed and others may not be blessed yet. But don't give up!
Let me share a story of someone that i knew. She sufferred countless time of mc. All the babies cannot survive more than 6 mths. During her time there was no IVF. But she didn't give up. She was told to have a weak womb. She went to all doctors, western and TCM. When she was 47, she was pregnant again. She was total bed rest for the whole 10 mths of pregnancy. She couldn't even go to toilet because whenever she got up, there would be blood. But God knows what she had gone through. She finally blessed with one son. A son who is filial and took care of her. She was now 78 yo and sadly she was sick till she can't remember her own name. Her husband left her with a younger woman. But her son is forever there for her. God is indeed fair. So ladies in this thread pls don't give up. Its not the end of the tunnel yet.
Truthfully speaking everyone taking IVF journey are all courageous because the journey is up and down. Not every time is a smooth one. We all want to go to the preggie symptoms and experience motherhood.
I hope all of you ladies will be able to reach there. Wish you all BFP and all smooth till delivery!

After ER, just take it easy for the day and rest cos u might be feeling effects from the sedative. I had very bad side effects the first round (fainting spells, vomitting etc). But u'll likely be fine. I'm extreme case. U can expect some soreness at your ovaries. Just rest well and prepare for ET. Keep urself hydrated in the meantime. Try to have someone around to look after u at least for the day of ER.

I can see where gal1979 is coming from actually. We all understand how she feels.
Rather than a hostile message, let's take it as a timely reminder to all BFP sisters to be a little more mindful of what we post here in this thread and to keep to the essence of this thread... i.e. giving support to all sisters who are tiao-ing, TTCing and cycling!
Cheers to all!!

Ladies,
I did my IVF in 27 June but was not successful. I was thinking to take a short break and proceed with FET in 2 to 3 months time.
Any sisters here who didnt take any HL and went back to work immediately after FET?
I dont think i can take another 2 weeks HL and i dont want to lose my job too

Hi ladies,
Congrats..Chevy, mc ..my previous cycle buddy... Im back to this thread after taking a 'break' for 2 months resting and playing.. haha went for short shopping spree to macau/hk last week. I was surprised and delighted to hear that both of you succeeded which motivated me to go for my FET. I originally planned to do my FET in aug but postponed till sept cos of some family matters. My appt with Dr.Tan is schedule in early Sept, his appts are very full.
Shainie, how are you doing, long time no 'see' ya
To those sistas and new sistas in this thread, still trying hard like me, lets not give up and work towards our dream.
