Laki gal: do u want to call the clinic to ask?

 

[lil_ponyo]

Wondersss, wave!!! Yes, hope you strike before your IVF starts! Immunocal is like a master antioxidant that keeps the body healthy. It is like milk powder form so I take 1 packet a daily. I started 1 month ago so by the time of my ER, it will be 2 months. Not sure if it really works but I figured antioxidants will also be good for my complexion. Ha ha!

Laki, better check with doctor about your spotting. 24 follicles is impressive! Good luck on your scan tomorrow. Regarding the soft boiled egg, I have the egg maker (that I bought from OG, ha ha!) where you can pour the hot water in and let it drip out. By the time, all the water is out, the soft boil eggs are ready!

Serene, all the best on your ER this Sat!! Jia you! Your superstar is waiting for you! By the way, good idea on the tingkat. Maybe we can try to google those companies that do confinement good tingkat.

By the way, are any ladies here on Suprefact before? I'm only D6 of injection but feeling incredibly bloated and getting tired. Is this normal? Also last night, I was so hot I couldn't sleep. I think my hot flush could be coming.

 

[depressed_gal]

dian_tang, i goggle n it mention tat this is d side effect of puregon injection. I already called d clinic, d nurse told me is normal n ask me to continue w d jab. But i still feel worried bout it.

Lil, i wont b seeing my dr till er wor, now is only d nurse attending me. I know which maker u r talkin bout, my mum used to hve it. I oso talk to my dh bout dis maker n he told me he didnt c this b4, he sound so mountain turtle.

 

[lil_ponyo]

Laki, ha ha, ya this device is pretty old school. But it has come in very handy. I pour the hot water in, go for shower, come out and it's ready! Many best to monitor your spotting closely. If anything changes, call the nurse again.

 

[piglet02]

Sunniehope: u may want to call kkh for sept cycle. I just cancel mine. Cos spotting already.

 

[dian_tang]

Laki gal: never encounter spotting while using purogen . Since the nurse say ok it shd be alright . I can understand that u are worried . Rem to drink more water . As the days passes , u may feel more heavy at the bottom as follicles are growing .

Lil Ponyo: it was quite torturing to have hot flushes . I slept with air con at night as not enough sleep may made me feel worse . Try to go to cooling places . Today is a cooling day ya . Drink lots of water too .

 

[depressed_gal]

[okidoki]

sunstillshines, bb: both of u will try naturally for at least 3 mths aft lap b4 deciding on ivf? today i feel giddy again.. from morning untill now..

Babysmurf: at least u can make it for Aug cycle

I refuse to take the pills and i just wait and wait , in the end waited 2 wks.. Hahaha

 

[dreambear]

Dear sisters.... Thank u for those well wishes last wk & those whom i had chatted via PM when my cycle failed. I've since stood up again & went back to work. I must say due to my workload, I don't really hv e time to think of those sad moments. I will be doing a lap next month b4 my next fresh ivf cycle in Dec or next Jan.  Meanwhile, may also try Dr Zou at AMK to tiao my body. Heard that its very crowded there during night time & wkends

 

[babysmurf]

Hi ladies, do you all know where to pray and how to pray to 注生娘娘?

 

[lainelaine]

Hi precious baby, mmm I'm not sure who is 助生娘娘。but I went to this temple at race course road to pray before. There is a ah niu there whom my fren's auntie say she is very accurate and she brought me there. You can google Beo San Hood Chor temple. Below is a link that I've found.
http://www.ibcsingapore.com/Beo-San-Hood-Chor-Temple-Temples/

It's quite hard to make a booking. The ah niu only see 10ppl each day and u need to make appt more than a month before. But the ah niu's health is not too good so she might not see anyone even if you have made appt. I tried making appt for 2 mths...didn't managed to...heng my fren's Aunty helped me.

 

[kittykatty]

Kitty Baby: Since you have 3 more embryos you can give FET a try first. FET is much easier and many times cheaper than Fresh. Have faith in your embryos and you just need one to succeed. I m seeing Dr Zou from AMK now cos is nearer to my house and according to her FET chances of success is as good as fresh.

This is my first natural FET. Initially, suppose to do FET last month but have to postphone cos no ovulation detected. Dr said I am stress and he is right. I don't rest the whole 2ww. Go back to work after one week as I don't have much leave left.

Talk to your hubby. Maybe he is stress too. Going for holiday is a good idea to take a break. Who knows maybe you will strike naturally

Be positive and jia you!

 

[kittykatty]

Hi Nurul: Selamat Hari Raya and thank you

 

[kittykatty]

Dreambear: Its quite crowded at Dr Zou. If you can go afternoon time is much better.

 

[nurul_huda]

kittykatty thanks for ur wishes. Rest well, eat well n take good care of urself ya.

 

[kittykatty]

Nurul: You too, Jia You, ya. Your turn will come

Will be rooting for you and Kitty Baby.

 

[nurul_huda]

[babysmurf]

Lainelaine, tks for your information. I think a bit too late for me to make appointment as i starting my IVF early next month.

 

[piglet02]

Hope4baby: Kkh should be oct or nov already. Usually end dec IVF centre closed for cleaning up.

 

[biggly]

Precious baby: there's one Shuang Lin temple at toa payoh...quite a big temple with many sections. I juz went in to pray with joss sticks and burn the papers after praying, as told by the helpers there..hope it helps..

 

[okidoki]

kittykatty: u did accu for ur ivf and FET? when did u do ur first ivf with dr loh? do u have any special diet before ivf?

dreambear: glad u are back! stay strong.. where will u be doing ur lap? did dr found anything with ur v scan? yes dr zou is v crowded, i rem i went aft work more than 2yrs ago and aft accu will be 9plus liao...

 

[melody123]

Hi laki gal, could the bleeding be caused by cyst?
I had very slight spotting and cramp and went kkh 24 hrs clinic. Doc says could be caused by cyst and is very common for ivf patients bcos of the jabs.
I went to google and found out dat the cyst is usually benigh and will disappear by itself.
Dun worry too much since the nurse say is ok.
Good luck!

 

[babysmurf]

BiggLy, thanks, toa payoh is very near to my place

will go there to pray before i start my ivf next mth.

 

[wondersss]

HI everyone, as i have yet to official start in this journey so i can only read and learn from u guys as the moment.
Anyone with Dr Sadhana?

 

[kittykatty]

Hi ladies, My HCG results is out and its 452

Most likely is a singleton as its not that high.
Sharing my babydust with you gals.

Lin: I did accu for both IVF and FET. For Fresh IvF I was with Dr Zhao from Raffles and prior to FET I switch to Dr Zou as its nearer to my house. I like them both. Started my injection for IVF end of April 2012. Most important is to stay away from cold drink and eat healthily and moderately will do. No special diet.

Folid acid & Ensure milk have to take daily
The rest of stuff I take about 2 to 3 times a week - conceive well, red longan drink, vitamin c, red bean soup, chick essense. I alternate them. I used to take almost daily during fresh IVF and it become too heaty and fell sick instead. So this time for FET, I just take them moderately.

Good luck!

 

[wondersss]

kitty, congras!!! *grab grab bb dusts*

 

[lil_ponyo]

Kittykatty, congratulations!! Wish you a smooth and healthy 9 months ahead! I also go to Dr Zhou at Raffles. Just did my 4th acupuncture with her. Don't feel any difference though. I'm on my 1st fresh IVF. Still on suppression stage. Grabbing your baby dusts!

Hi ladies,

Anyone who are with Dr Loh can kindly share with me, which lab will be doing the fertilization stage for IVF? TFC or CARE? Thanks in advance for sharing.

Claris, dr loh will be using his own lab (i.e. TFC) for fertilisation.
