I've been taking egg white too. Ard 6 egg whites per day. I tink I will increase. My Gonal-f dosage is 450iu. No increase. Based on my previous 2 failed cycles I won't yield more eggs but I juz hope for a good one. Now I worry for my lining. Yes I've been doing accu & drinking LRD drink too....
Really need lots of blessing fm up there to help me tis round.

Bigbear,
Thanks! Hubby told me don't be stressed, we just 'shun qi zi ran' these 2 mths..
I have a friend, tried for 10 yrs naturally even though docs told them ivf could be only way out cos her hubby sperm count very low, only in the thousands and morphology very bad.. Got preggy at 39 but miscarriage.. Got preggy a yr later at 40 and delivered at 41.. Now her baby boy so chubby and healthy.. So stay positive k! We just try our best.. Sending you all positive vibes for your new cycle

Lin / min81 > Most veg are considered cooling. Some even consider kailan and chyesim as cooling, but not the coolest. Neutral veg include corn, yam, sweet potato, turnip, round beijing cabbage, carrot, hairy gourd, coriander, chives, asparagus, bell pepper, sword beans, mint... the list is only based on my understanding from what I've read from some chinese websites.
Lin > I'm only doing accu, no tcm... so can still take carrot. I've that few times a week, usually in soups.
Bigbear > I'm also hitting 40 soon. How long have you been ttc? I had a natural bfp 1.5 years back but mc. Did all the test, no major problems with me or DH but no further luck, so trying ivf.

Bigbear n joyhope .. We got to jia yous k !!! Esp when we going to hit 40 soon !!! We must applaud ourselves for our perseverance !!! Me also ttc for abt 10 yrs .. Hubby morphology also poor n my egg quality are quit bad but have improved w dhea n metformin .. Mayb god is trying to test us .. Hopefully we pass tis exam soon !!
Tahope: eat more natural food that help to improve blood n remember drink plain water. Which is important also. Remember no coffee or tea. Is Ur lining growing well togather with Ur eggs? Our lining normally grow abt 1 - 2mm per days. So by the time Ur er can reach 8mm. Jia you Jia you.

Immunocal - I take 2 pouch daily empty stomach, i mixed with DIstilled water n I put cocoa powder or some juices. Do u have the immunocal cup? I use the cup to gauge the water level.
I get my DHEA fm USA - same brand as what KK is selling.
Cocobie
DHEA has to be prescribe by the dr, not anyone can conceive. Dr Loh did prescribe to me when he was at KK. For me to take DHEA cos I hv low ovarian reserve. I didn't kwn it will also improve egg quality till I read the comment from this forum.

The taste is like milk just that is much thicker. Most of us will mix with juice or milo to dilute the taste. The sales person from fung&goh told me not to add too much water . So I hv 40ml for 2 pouch. Remember no warm or hot water.

I kwn shd rest during the 2 ww, the nurse did tell me sometime the best is just continue to do what I usually do n then i will not think too much at home or be so stress abt it. Ofc movement or carry heavy stuff have to,be careful.
Anyway, I just hope I don't hv to go thru another cycle after the lap.

Serene & Ravene, I went to work as normal after my failed BT & told my boss & colleagues not to ask abt my ivf else I will cry in front of them. Haha, so far so gd, 1 mth has passed le! Life still goes on!!!
Tahope, so everyday u take 1 gonal f jab lor cos 450 is e highest!! Wah, very ex hor. But like I said b4, we only need ONE to strike it! Even a bad grading embryo will still bfp. So we just need more luck n hopefully we k all graduate from this thread soon

Lin, i see. I hv lap in 2008 to remove septum and blocked tube.. embarked onfirst IVF end 2008, delivered a boy in 2009.. very lucky! afterthat had two MC in 2011, conceived naturally. gynae cant explain why since all tests are normal. that's when i see the two TCM. I decided to try ivf again this year cos age is catching up. my ovarian reserved is low. Dr Loh encouraged me to take DHEA but h said the results can only be seen in 3-4 months time. I couldn wait cos this period is best for me, lull period at work.
Bigbear, no worry, I only hv 4 follicles this cycle, 2 were found immatured. luckily the other 2 were fetilised, transferred 2, nothing to freeze like my first cycle... i believe in +ve thinking, so think on the good side and try to be happy, it does help a little. Oh, a month before my IVF, i went for this TCM massage, not sure if it is effective but i desperate.. whichever that can help a little in bilding up my body I will try...
Christine, i go to the clinic for injection everyday for after day 5. I can handle one injection but not 2... scare too! DH can't help at all

for those in 2ww, i will rest well the first 3 days and stay at hm. thereafter, i will do a little like hse work here and there, cook my own lunch. dinner go inlaw place to eat on weekdays and nearby to eat on weekends. with a toddler at hm, i can't lie on bed as and when i want. but i will not carry him or squat.. everyone is different, dont follow me but i think a little walk and doing something to occupy myself can help to remove -ve thoughts... all the best!
So for serene, dun blame it on the packing (read tt u mentioned u move smthing from the floor to table and bled therafter). it's fated! But if you persist, I am sure u will be blessed with a child.
To reduce stress, i am also very open to my colleagues. Well, they will sure ask why I am on leave for 19 days. Instead of coming up with story, i chose to tell them my proj B treatment. of course, if ur colleagues are those biz body kind, dun tell la...

Tahope, y ur last ivf? How many cycle u tried already? Sori if u hv explained b4 cos thread moving too fast!
Ravene, egg donor? I heard b4 age for egg donor must be < 30 or 35 yes old if I'm not wrong. So e main issue is egg rather than sperm? But ur recent results ok right?
I'm waiting to arrange for lap b4 I proceed on next cycle.

Dreambear .. Dr said my embryos look Gd but don't noe y can't succeed .. That's y he said could b genetic issue .. So he mention abt egg donor lor .. Cos he said got 1 lady 46 yrs old n went for egg donor n succeed .. Even though her lining is not very Gd leh .. I asked him my lining for the recent cycle .. It's Gd too n is 10mm .. So just contemplating ... Could b another option other than adoption ..
For egg donor .. I tink I read some where shld b less than 30 yrs ..
