[mummy96]

Hello gals, I'm back from ET in NUH. I have transfer 1 8cells Embroy

I'm officially 2WW now

Anything to take note during 2WW? I have buy few packs of Brazil nuts n honey. Do u gals eat folic acid during 2WW?

I need to see prof this wed before he on leave.

Any gals here also 2 WW now?

Hi ylgoh, how are u? How your ET? In fact I did see u many times in CHR n u were next to me during OR coz heard nurse called your name

 

[dolly_gal]

Hi lavender, 8cells quite good grade. Have faith in her. I only took 3 bottles of chicken essence during 2ww.plenty of rest for the first 5 days at least..

 

[missymimi]

Lavender, Im also with CHR and in 2ww. Did et on Thursday

 

[Success2015]

Lavender, we are encourage to take folic acid b4, during and even after 2ww. Enjoy ur 2ww! JY!

 

[reddesk]

Lavender: congrats on your ET.. I can imagine you feeling relieved and happy.. Enjoy your 2ww

 

[dolly_gal]

Lainelaine, how's ur bt n scan today?

 

[pantieileen]

Frolic acid from NUH super cheap like duno what
$5.74 for 3 months supply. Just get Chr to write u prescription pharmacy opens at 9am though if your appt is 745-8am plus must wait

 

[pantieileen]

@Deb : how? U positive?

 

[lotsahugz]

sorry for the delayed result. wanted to go for my sashimi feast cos had a BFN. sigh. dunno if i can do a 3rd round of ivf. meeting prof next week or so when he is back to see what plan B is. thankfully managed to bounce back faster than the first failed ivf. plus hubby not around at the moment. in the jungle now feeding mozzies protecting our country. hahahahaha.

 

[dolly_gal]

Just realise morning sivkness dun strike during morning, it can happen at note. My world is turning round n round, cant even stand still nor focus when look straight.

I habe read from overseas forum that its adviseable to take folic acid as early as possible.but i guess we are lazy, usually start when start ttc...

 

[pantieileen]

I was wondering since I have alot of hormones insert leftover should I experiment myself, after April period I have lotsa sex during holidays then I stuff myself silly with the leftover progesterone and estrogen of just plain stupid?

These days also duno where to go for short holidays to fulfill my unesco holiday visitation sites
Korea - North Korea missiles
Japan - radiation scarly produce x-babies
China/Taiwan/Hk - bird flu
Australia - racist
India - Rapist

Think left Europe and USA again

 

[lainelaine]

dollygal, lol as usual he dun look happy. My LH is quite low n with increased dosage of puregon, it didnt yield as many eggs as he wanted. Im quite happy with my scan though...at least the sizes dun vary too much. Was telling dreambear, hope got seed inside, dun give me false hope! Hope my LH will rise!

Ur dh w u? Were u the one w ipad n wearing white shorts?The patient before u is a couple who is aso on ivf n bot lucrin n gonal f while u were inside if u both inside. I roughly guess it's u bah.

 

[dolly_gal]

[red_velvet]

Chris, i am answering you from this thread. I am okay and abit busy with work and my maid just told me she wants to balek kampong. Trying to be ice queen here and "zenning out".

Good luck to Hope and Lainelaine. May you guys strike BIG time.

 

[cat_quek]

Red, so u also abt sametime as us. Which hosp？

 

[sunstillshines]

Hope_4_bb, how did you record the sizes of the folicles on both side? You brought pen and paper when the doctor is scanning you?

 

[red_velvet]

Hope4bb, yes. I am with Prof Wong at NUH. Prof Wong is also very zen. The 2 sentences he said to me over the past week were "good good" and "go take blood test". Kekeke.. He is very calm.

 

[reddesk]

Red velvet: ok.. Don't be so busy.. Keep zenning.. Ur maid can smell more work coming huh.. Haha.. Who will be doing the OR and OT for u then? Will u be seeing him in 2ww? How many follicles u have? Anyway he say good is good, that's what he told me also. Haha. Sorry so many questions. If its your bb turn, it will be yours

 

[lainelaine]

dollygal, ya lo...i was quite pissed. and i was quite lost when doc say u can leave now...so i asked him, so how ah? what should i do next? can u imagine what he said? 'Come see me when your menses come.' my blood really boil! simisai! i just did my iui and u r telling me my menses will come.

wow, red velvet too! u strike big big too!!!haha suddenly so many more sisters ER at same time. I rem got 2 other sisters who started suppression around the same time as me...but i forgot the names...the jabs r making me stupid!

Hope4bb, im with PEH. Which hosp u with?
my ER should be this fri or sat. As of yesterday, have around 12 eggs but doc still not happy haha he expected more. Sizes range from 13-8.

 

[cat_quek]

Laine, am at nuh, pwe issit roland chieng?

 

[cat_quek]

Sunstillshine, he will write on my record book n i just quickly glance and write down.

 

[dolly_gal]

DR R not happy w the qty? when i hit 18 he said enough, he said he dun want too many. i replied him my usual is 20 or more leh...he said quality more impt

tik my previous gynae vy cautious when see my name cos after my fibriod surgery at thomson, something happened tat my gf helped me complaint all the way up to the mgmt and coincidentally the thomson IVF big oh-ah case aso at the same time,the director nurse n nurses on duty during my surgery visited my hse twice to apologise..hahaa

 

[lainelaine]

hope4bb, yup with roland.

dollygal, haha he was very disappointed when i only got 8 during my first scan...2nd scan, he was shaking his head and sighz as he scan haha! Funny! now im the one telling him quality, not quantity hahahaha!
eh, u r the one involved in the thomson IVF case?

 

[nervous_babe]

Does iui needs stimulation as well? What kind of jabs are expected?

 

[sunstillshines]

Hope_4_bb, your doc was scanning you and the nurse should be the one recording right? Do you mean after the scan, you asked for the record and you copied down?

 

[cat_quek]

Aft scan while doc sit fown write the medication on my record sheet then i just copy down. Anyway u can ask the doc or nursr for your record also

 

[cat_quek]

Laine, i saw roland chieng before n he refused to do ivf for me as i too high risk lolz

 

[dolly_gal]

No lah, my case nothing to do w the Thomson ivf case. Cos they asked so many times before push me in operating theatre wat I m allergy to n put red band on my hand wrist n yet the stupid guy who sedate me n painkiller forgot abt it n jab me the painkiller.Just nice nurse turn ard do something turn back n horrified He gave me painkiller liao, quickly withdraw But I was told some went in Body liao.
Everyone came time apologise except the guy who did wrongly. So I got his name n make sure I won't bump into him again.He told my hsb over the phone He wants to try whether I can take it or not.

 

[dolly_gal]

Anyway lainelaine relax n rest more n wait for ur er...

 

[red_velvet]

Reddesk, I have 14 egg follicles ranging 12-15 and a big one 17mm yestday. But I rather have a few good eggs. Doc Ann something is going to do OR and prob ET also cos prof is on leave. I think I will see him in my 2ww.

Laine, I think so too. My hubby said I acted stupid the past week, keep forgetting things and drop things. I just feel very sleepy and having blurred vision. Must be the jabs.

 

[wondersss]

hi ladies, i just want to check if anyone has any mid-cycle bleeding after your period.. i have some brown spotting on D14 recently for this cycle only...
Any advice??

Where are my ex-cycle buddies?? BRchow & lynxsea, how are u guys???

 

[sunstillshines]

What is OR?

What size of an egg folicle is considered "too old"?

 

[lainelaine]

wow redvelvet, u got good sizes! good start!

Hope4bb, how come u high risk? he also didn't want to start ivf for me initially...keep asking me to try naturally. I think prof is good too, just that maybe 我和他没有缘 lol! Dun worry about your egg sizes, anything can happen over the next few days. just be happy and enjoy the process!

dollygal, wah, i sure complain also haha, maybe write to media more effective but its all over and now u r in good hands! hehe yeah, im enjoying the entire process, everytime dh asked me what i wanna eat, i will say steak or cai fan etc..haha then i'll point to my tummy and say 'not i wan to eat, i'm eating for them!' lol...enjoying 'the queen' treatment while it lasts! either for another 2wks or 9 months, all fated. just enjoy!

 

[lainelaine]

sunstillshines, my doc says 18mm is ideal.
OR=ER=egg retrieval.
