Thanks Curious and Mismoon for the advice and encouraging words.....
I do not know whether I can handle the IVF procedure......it seems really painful......emotionally, will be worse...
I kept wondering to myself that maybe, I am not fated to be a mother......the journey is long and tiring.....
Was wondering if anyone back out of IVF even before completing the process....coz side effects are really unbearable.....

MK,
Pls do not give up hope.
And pls stop saying negative words. U must think positve & be optimistic.
Now u haven't started treatment already say so much negative words....no no, pls...
Right now u need lots of emotional & mental support especially fr your love ones.
KKIVF make it compulsory for all IVF couples to go thro counselling. I wonder if you're told the same in pte hospital. I think counselling may help...
I'm sure you'll see rainbow soon!!

Good lor, now u can set ur mind at ease liao.
Doc Loh told me that he will advise me abt the antenatal pkg on wk 16 leh not wk 20.
Maybe these 2 nites din sleep well, so hvg headache now.
Missmoon,
I juz embark on my 2nd tri last week, so maybe will take sometime before MS will subside lor. My gynae din gave me anything for MS, only fish oil and folic acid for supplements.

MK, take things one step at a time. the nurses will brief u on the process and procedures, counsel u and also let u watch a short video wif info on IVF/ICSI. dun think negatively...cos it will affect body's balance. try to stay positive and don't wonder too much
the journey may be long and tiring, but hey, there's always light at the end of the tunnel. have faith!
blue rabbit
i understand having headaches is a common ailment for preggies. dun worry, it'll be over soon before u know it

Curious, I am now into 12 weeks and 4 days...don't think this is 2nd trimester yet...I think I still have a long way to go before my MS will go away...I do have some anti-nausea medicine but I try not to take until really cannot take it...
I think Dr Loh has TPS clinic on Fri afternoons now...maybe too many patients already so he has to increase the number of sessions.
MK, you need to have a very open mind before you start the IVF programme....must not be scared or worried, will affect your chances. I guess the counselling session at KKH does help me in preparing my mind for the programme. You need lots of support from your hubby and other family members. Don't rush into things and talk to more people before starting the programme.

Verona,
12 wks is considered 1st trimester already is it? Or must reach end of 12 wks? GP also gave me anti-nausea medicine but I nvr take it.
Thanks...I'm not planning to switch to TPS. If go TPS, I'll go Pte hospital. Now since Clinic D called me & made appt for my fetal screening, I juz proceed. If any point of time their service got problem again, then I think I'll change hospital. But I hope no need lor....
Blue rabbit,
Oh ya lor...briefed u on 16 wks then sign on 20 wks is it? I also not sure. Now u know what? I worry that Dr Loh so busy now...next time dunno hv time to deliver for me or not...really worried. For instance Dr Sheila Loh, everytime my checkup, I'll hear announcement fr the PA system that 'Dr Sheila Loh is being held up at the IVF centre or surgery, etc...' Aiyoh...so busy.

Missmoon, yep, that's what I thought...start of wk 14 is considered start of 2nd tri...
Tch, I totally agree with you. If it is not because I am expecting triplets, I will definitely go to private hospital. Even though I am seeing Dr Loh in TPS, the service is still not as good as private hospitals. The session with Dr Loh is really very rush and feel that he does not have time for me...unlike the private gynae that I saw previously, who will usually spend at least 20 min with me and explain many things...*sigh*...

curious,
If we sign up the premier pkg, I believe Doc Loh sure will deliver for us, otherwise, why do we pay so much?
I remember that during my ET, Doc Loh took so long to come, made me so miserable cos need to hv full bladder and I hv to hold my urine. I was so relieved when the nurse told me ok can go and pass urine liao

blue rabbit,
yah...i also gotta hold my urine for a long time when I did the IUI.
as for the premier pkg, thanks for the info...ya I know he'll sure to deliver for us if book premier pkg & see him at TPS. he told me if having multiples, he'll encourage to choose premier pkg. he said for my case, classic also can. so I intend to stay at clinic D & maybe used classic pkg - A1 ward. He said this one he'll deliver for me too. If I'm not wrong, the price difference bet classic & premier pkg is abt $1K. Do correct me if I'm wrong. If I want to switch to premier pkg, i wld rather go pte hospital already.
i'm juz not really satisfied with the attitude of the nurses. but doctor still ok. will see how it goes for my next few checkups. b4 I sign the pkg, I'll hv to decide to stay or switch to pte.
thanks

since it's so quiet, i will just update my progress.
Visited Dr last Sat. I am now into 23weeks. Initially, I didn't put on too much have have put on 3kg within the last 3 weeks!!!!!! Scary. Have to start watching my diet.
Starting to feel slight pain on my pelvic which I guess is due to the pressure. And by mid-afternoon, I can feel my leg starts to swell. Dr Loh was quite right, he said I will start very tired and more uncomfortable by about 24weeks. And now it's happening. But worst thing is my son is having diarrhea and hubby works late, so I have to keep squatting to wash him every time he pass motion...quite taxing on the back and pelvic.
Babies are still boys...
and they are about 532g and 600g...Dr Loh is quite please that they are growing well.
Well, that's all I have to say.
How are the rest doing?

hi tch,
Ur progress sounds good leh, ur twin are doing fine.
Did u sign any pkg with KKH? Premier or classic?
I hv been watching my diet, scare will put on too much weight. So far so good, didn't put on too much. Maybe also becos appetite still no good, can't eat too much. I finished 1 pack of rice for my lunch and immediately feel like vomitting out everything.

hi kiki
congratulations!
i had OHSS after testing positive...it was considered mild but i had difficulty sleeping on my back, and was really bloated and i had difficulty breathing too. i actually went to extract the fluid from the abdomen at my doc's advice. i also took egg whites for some relief but that was really just temporary.

Blue rabbit, yes I did take up the package at TPS but for singleton, I think it's not so worth. As for carrying twins, we will see Dr more often and hopefully use up all the 10 sessions.
Missmoon, I am still working. Will "tong" as long as I can.
Winter, ya, hope u hv long feng tai afterwhich you can close shope...hehe.

Hi All
Could you also input your age so that we could see if there is any co-relation bet age, no of eggs transfer and conception rate i.e. singleton, twin or triplets.Sorry, I do not know how to create table in the thread.
Thought this will be helpful as a guide for deciding how many embroys to transfer vis-a-vis age and number of babies one prepared to accept.

Sorry ladies,
I was on MC last Wed-Fri & then on leave yesterday to rest at home. I had lower tummy pain last Wed. Emailed Dr Loh but I couldn't wait for him to reply. In the end, went TMC to see another gynae.
He said was ligament pull & told me to rest at home. Initially I was very worried cos even I lie down whole afternoon, still pain. When bladder full, go pass urine, tummy even more pain. Touch the tummy skin was so tight. Luckily after the 2nd day, I felt better.
Today juz back office so quite busy. Sorry didn't help to update the table. Thanks TCH. I'll try to come in here to update when I'm less busy....

blue rabbit, missmoon,
thanks! i'm feeling better already. gynae didn't mention how the ligament pulled. he told me maybe bcos the womb is expanding & I could feel the stretch. that's why I couldn't sit/stand straight cos I felt the stretch & pain at the lower tummy.

ya, the pelvic area will feel this ache cos of the growing uterus. also, i went thru this stretch and pain at lower tummy, esp on the right side, cannot stand straight - during my first and very early 2nd tri. i was feeling bloated after meals especially. but it'll get better. i just avoided walking up and down the stairs...but need to walk a little to get some "exercise".

heh, i think ur appetite improving? can finish whole bowl? at one time, i was so afraid that i'll puke, i avoided eating food wif coconut and milk stuff in it
now in my final tri, these stitch-like aches on the right side of the pelvic area is back...gynae said so long as no bleeding and it's not causing great discomfort, shld be ok. but u just monitor and see how often u get it?

Otherwise will hv indigestion & vomit again. So now I eat slowly, chew & chew so long then swallow.

Hi missmoon
You must be very excited now!

I've got a Mothercare voucher for $15 that i have to use before end May and at this point i really dun know what to buy. any suggestions?

hi mandy
apprehensive is more like it, haha...but ya, the excitement is building up
i think the best time to start buying baby stuff is ard middle of 2nd tri to early 3rd tri...cos by middle to late 3rd tri, get tired easily and very clumsy...walk a bit only get breathless.
i started using stretch mark cream at the start of 2nd tri. was told clarins and palmers good brand to use, so i'm alternating between these 2 brands. i've seen avent brand and some friends tell me avent is not too bad. there are so many out there in the market...dunno which one to choose hor.

Thanks Missmoon. i'll check these brands out. Dunno whether this is normal or not, but i feel very paranoid and cant stop worrying about the pregnancy..although everything is going well, and i am getting the MS symptons, my doc still advised that first trimester is very crucial and must take extra care. I am very anxious to get past the first trimester..can i ask you a silly qustion? When do u see a obvious bump on tummy?
mandy,
I'm into my 14 wk now and my tummy has grown rounder and more protruding. Ppl can tell that I'm pregnant, but hor this is a very awkward stage, cannot wear my old clothes, yet tummy not big enough to wear maternity too.
For all info,
the mothercare fair is from 31/5 till 4/6. I took leave on next fri to go so that I don't hv to squeeze with the wkend crowds.

thanks blue rabbit and congrats, you are now in the second trimester! Now i am wearing mostly dresses so it is not so tight fitting and i also feel kinda weird to shop at maternity shops.
looks like a lot of pple going to the fair. since u r going on fri, do let us know whether there are gd buys or not..

hi mandy
actually, i was pretty bloated ever since after ET. so i've always seen a bulge on the tummy haha. my guess is ard end of 1st tri to early 2nd tri that the bump starts showing cos i remember having to seriously shop for maternity stuff ard the start of 2nd tri, esp for pants. for tops, i could still wear old ones until middle of 2nd tri. ppl ard me only suspect i was preggie during my 2nd tri, confirmed their suspicisions only after late 2nd tri. so...not to worry. i'm not small size but was told my bump is small and compact (even until now)...so i guess it all depends on our body.
ya, 1st tri really very important...not only in terms of your movements but also food intake etc.
like u, i was also very anxious...but doc keeps close track and before u know it, over liao, and 2nd tri will be a breeze
