I have a question on folic acid. Now that I'm picking up my supplements again, I'm eating vitamin b which contains folic as well at 400mcg. My question is, do I still take a separate folic ( you know those yellow ones?) that's like 5mg kind ? Is it too much or no?
I read somewhere in e forum that if u take extra viramins,yr body will expel out e extra.
 


Becos maybi do ivf and cannot succeed until xiao liao lol. Need to crack jokes to spice up life la. Else life very sad.

Keep that v area dry..drink cranberry and plain yohurt to build up good bacteria to fight e bad bacteria. Follow e wiping sequence yr gynae teach u. Dont dough.
Besides v inserts,is she giving u oral pills? Are u visiting her again to get yr swab test results?

She gave mi tis. I don dough. I jz wash as per normal. Prob jz wash a little longer to kp it clean. I scare drink.cranberry will ls again? So I didnt tk it. No oral pills. Bt she did tell mi to go bk.1wk after if still nt well. So.I monitor till tomoro. If still nt gd thn I will go bk.on wed to see her again.

I'm also concerned about this. My hubby joined a new company and don't really have much leave. Plus it's not nice he take too many leave now.

Why retrieve eggs need him? Cause you will feel unwell after?
After egg retrieval, somebody (your relative or spouse) has to be there before the hospital releases you. This is because you will feel groggy due to anesthesia
 
Got eggs no soldiers cannot wor. :D
Ha... I must have sounded totally bimbo...

My case a bit different. My hubby froze and stored his sperms cause he's starting a clinical test for his other health condition and not supposed to provide fresh sperms.

So I guess anyone can fetch me from hospital. Hmm...
 
Hi mspau, are u doing long protocol this time round?
Hi. I am not sure kk din explain to me which protocol I am on. I was given jabs yesterday for 10 days. Puregon for 5 days and then orgalutrun for 5 days. Then back to hospital for scan on the 10th day. My first cycle here so i am a bit noob.
 
Any of you ladies here take yr jabs in the night instead of morning as advised by kk? My hubby prefers to do it at night as morning abit rush. Feeling a bit nervous. Today will be my first day of jab.

Hi mspau... I think it is better to call kkh to check if u can do the jabs in the night instead of morning. All the best for your 1st cycle ya!:) jiayou jiayou!

Thank you Mrs Chan! i called KKH yesterday they say it is recommended to do in the morning as the scans are always in the morning and it takes about 24hrs to notice the drug effect. But she say it is ok even if I prefer to take it in the evening. :)
 
hi ladies, another question. I notice many of you take egg whites during the IVF period. Today is my first day of jab. When should I start taking the eggs? Why dont you all take the yolk? which is more yummy? Hehe. How many eggs do you take and how do you prepare them? Thanks !! :)

Hi mspau, we take egg whites because some of us feel very bloated during stims due to many follicles growing. It can help alleviate the bloating. Egg yolks not preferred i guess due to cholesterol ba. the whites should be runny form to help. you can start taking when you start the jabs or 3rd day onwards. If you feel not bloated, you can skip it. After egg extraction, if you feel bloated you can also continue to eat it. For me, drinks that contains electrolytes helps with bloating. H2O, 100+ but i personally buy the electrolyte sachets from Guardian at $0.40 per pack. less sugar and no preservatives.

You sound like you may have UTI wor.. did they try to diagnose that? Burning sensation when u pee? Pain or difficulty to get out the first drop?

Cranberry juice might help too..Female easily get Uti bcoz our urine passage shorter than male.And wipe top to bottom...Speedy recovery...

better to clear it. You can drink LOTS and LOTS of water and also yogurt, yakult all helps. Chinese Barley drink also helps to get rid of UTI. good luck in clearing!!!
 
Just to encourage all... I BFP! Got my blood test an hour ago. It's my second IVF pregnancy. First one was during second fresh. And this is my second FET. Altogether, I have done 3 fresh, 2 FET. No more embryos left.
Congrats and wish you a safe and smooth pregnancy gal. Tough journey but sweet success. Grabbing loads of baby dusts as I am starting my fet. Going to kkh to collect meds. Am also like you done 3 fresh and one natural fet. Now medicated. My last precious two embryos waiting for me. Praying hard for success.

Cos egg white contains the highest form of protein, which your own follicles need. You can take the yolk, provided you are not concerned about cholesterol.

For myself, I took about 3 - 4 eggs per day, mainly soft-boiled. Some ladies took 6-8 eggs though.

Actually, if possible, it would be better if you can jab in the morning. If you jab in the evening, it would be considered like "minus one day" if you know where I am coming from? So if you go for the scans, it may be abit confusing when it comes to paperwork.

I used to let my hubs jab me too, then I realised it's better to jab myself cos I have better control and more mentally prepared when the needle is going in.

Towkayneo, you eat mainly egg white only?

Elsie, you want to know the truth? hahaha! im a big time potato chip junkie.... actually junk is junk no healthy or not just that maybe if you compare this to other chips, it is healthier among the pool and not that the chips are healthy chips. But I am also often in denial. I am trying to cut processed foods..... so hard to do!!

Haha, cant resist it right. I think they have healthy ingredients like avocado oil which provides nearly 20 essential nutrients, including fiber, potassium, Vitamin E, B-vitamins, and folic acid too.

I ordered 2 packets from I-herb just to satisfy my crave and share with my hubby, also to release my stress too :(. But of cos will eat it in moderation la.

Hi Towkayneo! :) thanks for your advice, Yes, I know what you mean. So I called and ask KKH yesterday if I should start one day earlier like the day before. she say no. I guess I need to be clear with them. :) Wow, you are ! Thanks!

Ooh okie. I will try to take more eggs as well. Fighting! :)

I actually have no idea if natural or medicated. Going to see Dr SF Loh on CD2 :) Think we are quite close on the date!
 
Congrats! Its good to hear good news :)
Can share on which brand of home pregnancy kit brand did u use to test for e early pregnancy before e actual bloodtest?

Just curious is there differnce to detect early pregnancy eg d11pt for watson ,guardian and clearblue brands. And this clearblue brand got so many types. Or all are accurate
Mine was Guardian. When I measured on 11dpt it was very faint. On 13dpt, it was still faint but I saw it faster. On 15dpt it was almost within one min and I could see the faint line. Having said that, my hcg was 1314 which was quite high.
