Stacy,
thank you for reminding me of our Santa, Have you met up with Dr Loh yet? When do you plan to do yours? I really hope we can do this together again. Ever since my ET last Saturday, I have been experiencing churning stomach with gases inside, cramps if I walked or stood too long. Starting a few days ago. I feel nauseous on and off. I wonder if I am pregnant. Now I know that I really want to have my next baby. When I think of if it is not successful and I have no more embies, I am sad and worried and contemplating to go through another cycle, which I have told my hubby long long time ago that I won't. Funny isn't it? How pple change their minds?
My boy can walk on his own now but not very steady yet as he tends to walk very fast or even run. He fell so many times and bang his head. My heart really aches! But what to do, these are one of the growing up pain... hahaha.. Don't worry Stacy, your son will walk on his own soon. Just try to encourage him to walk on his own with you staying very close. After a number of times when he has enough courage, he will take his first step without your help. This is happened with my boy.
mrs zack,
don't worry, it will come. It is just a matter of time. If you have any worries or doubts, always call and check with the nurse. They are in a better position to advise you with their medical knowledge and experience. How many days have you been on lucrin?

Jeni,
I've seen him and probably do it in Feb. He advise not to carry bb now and during FET.Same as you, I really hope to have another baby but have not tot of to the extent of starting fresh cycle if unsuceed this time. Dare not to think of the outcome yet, maybe it is still far for me to think what's next.

Jeni, jia you ok.... the nurses say sometimes not necessary good grades embryo get implanted. i remembered my 1st attempt ivf, i used my two Grade 5, best grades ones, also not pregnant.
subsequent attempt, used lower grades one, and bingo. good luck!
mrszack, all the best to you too.
mrszack, all the best to you too.
Dawn,
thank you for your encouragement.
I have been experiencing cramps and felt nausea, esp in the afternoon and evening time. Not good appetite for dinner. I have slight brownish discharge as well, so I'm quite concern and am not too hopeful about the outcome on next tuesday. This time round I am not too hopeful as I did not have a good bed rest like last time and my son seemed to want me to carry him all the time. Haiz... not very optimistic about it but I'll cross my fingers.
Rae, thanks!

Be positive. Worrying too much is nt so good.. as YOu only know the result on Tuesday.Maybe you 've already made it. No matter what, you've tried your best.
Hi ladies,
thank you for all your support and encouragement.
I have good news to share!
Stacy, our Santa worked wonders again!
According to KKIVF, I am pregnant!
Yes, today is my 14th day of the 2ww. I called them this morning to ask for advice regarding my cramp. One of the nurses asked if I want to go to KKIVF for the blood test. I thought why not. So, I went. Before they did the blood test for me, one of the nurses or doctors, I am not so sure, told me that to do a blood test so ealrly may not be able to confirm pregnany unless I have a reading of more than 200. So, I asked what's the rationale for that nurse to tell me to come down to do the blood test. She said probably she's worried that I am already pregnant and may be facing miscarriage if I keep having the cramp. That is exactly my view. So, when she asked if I wanted to go ahead with the blood test, I said why not since I was already there. So she told me that if the reading is less than 200, then I will have to repeat it on Tuesday. Then later when I called them for the outcome, they told me that I am pregnant (reading 224.2)and to go down to KKIVF to collect my new prescription. I will do my scanning on the 19th to check how many embies have implanted themselves before I have the courage to announce to my friends and family.
So, pls wish me luck!
Thanks for all your support and encouragement once again, Ladies!

Hi, Dawn
You must miss you bao bei loh.. but nine months not bad already, at least your work is allow you to take more leave. Me back to work on 2 months after giving birth.
Ya, I am working all the while, thought want to stop at IVF time cause my boss really gave me a lot of hard time, but just tahan tahan cos of the merternity leave. So, work until now, ha ha.
Btw, I have replied your p.m. too.

koala, surprisingly, i din miss them as much as i tot i would/or pple tell me i would when i returned to work. only, once in awhile at work, i will think of them...bad mummy hor?
haha, but probably i really spent alot of time with them those 9 months, so more than ready to return to work liow. haha...i remembered when they v small, 2 to 4 months, even when i go for 1 to 2 hours grocery shopping i will miss them badly, wondering if they r ok and also feeling v guilty to be out of the house, leaving them to others.
so u still with the same boss? after all the hard time he gave u, he nicer now? i think a lot of employers still dun understand what women r going through during ivf journey.
Thanks for ur PM reply, hee hee.

Hee, me also a bad mummy, some times I find my boy very noisy and told my colleague I prefer to go to work. Me worst, rite? Luckily, my hb is that type of good daddy, will pat him sleep and feed him milk, so that me won't feel so tired.
Ya, still the same boss, I din tell him abt the IVF, just told him I need to have a lap. so get to rest for my 2WW. Of course ppl in office suspected already lah. Then after pregnant, rest for another 2 weeks again, then he ask for a letter from my gynae to justify my condition, so bad. Luckily Dr Loh has help me to issue a letter said I was having high risk pregnancy.

Jeni,
Congrats! Really envious of u guys - got your 2nd child either thru FET (Jeni, Rae) or natural (hui,Jolene). I will not go thru another fresh cycle, nor do I think I will be pregnant naturally, due to the various obstacles(age, physical, emotion, spouse relationship), plus not even trying hard
Okay, sad thoughts of mine aside, I am still proud of u people

Jeni,
Take care! Is Dr Loh back from his holiday? Have booster jab early is better .Yeah! I understand child can be very clingy and hard to reject carrying him or he will cry. Anyone can help for the time being and the person must be someone he also likes being carried?

dawn,
Did u use Picassa to do the picture collage ? at 10mths they cannot rely on milk alone. Try to introduce a variety of solids. My girl doesnt like porridge so i gave her rice fr quite young..Introducing solids need a lot of patience I agree ;p

Hi Dawn,
Are your babies at IKEA? Look at the backdrop. They must be having fun touching the plush toys.I like to bring my boy to Ikea Tampines..
It is normal that bb dun put on weight after 9mths as they become more active at this stage, unlike in the first 6 mths, every month there is a KG weight gain. My baby also had this milk feeding problem before, so I tried to introduce different types of solid food and will tends to eat more then drink less.Yeah ! forgot tomention I change brand of the milk for him , already 3-4 brands to test which is his favourite.

Hi Dawn,
My son is taking Enfragrow, from S26 to Similac to Friso to Mamil... When he had the milk problem, I search sgmotherhood for answer and happened to read one posting mention abt changing brand to suit him so I tried this method..Luckily It works on him. I like Ikea Tmapines bcos of the free parking, can stay longer.
Jeni,
Have you been for consultation? How are you now? Long time din hear from you. Take Care

dawn,
I was told that I have taken a lot of leave last year but c'mon, they seem to think that our children seem to fall sick only 5 days a year, not to mention that sometimes, we need to take the leave as the care giver is sick or out of action. On top of that, I also fell sick. So, with the mc and blah blah, I was told that I have taken too many leaves.
As for walk less, all the classes that I am supposed to teach are on the 3rd level even though I have clearly stated in the request form that I will be trying IVF again in Dec and that if it is successful, the pregnancy will be a relatively unstable one as it is 'artificial'. So u see.... even if I approach them, they will probably tell you school needs come first or worse still, you will have egg in your face if they tell you why should I be given any special treatment, I am not the only one pregnant in thie world.
Haiz, so now, even though I am still staining quite badly, I have not taken 1 day mc due to all these shit. I have to be very mindful although the leave is my entitlement.
Yesterday, I was staining quite badly, like having menses, so I rushed down to KK 24hr clinic. The dr there gave me one day mc for Monday, I am still comtemplating whether to rest at home or go to school as I have 1 important meeting. See the kind of shit I have to think about now??? I feel quite lousy this time round with all the things going on and the nausea etc...
