Hi Girls, Thank you all for good wishes. Hope all you are doing good. It's been quite few weeks since I have used this forum and nice to see all your posts and this thread being very active.

I will be completing 20 week and so far feeling healthy and progressing nicely. ( still doing yoga and swimming regularly). Have stopped accupunture for a while now. Had been to 18 th week scan and it was so nice to see the baby moving around and already sucking it's thumb!! I am sure every one of you will get have that experience- please stay positive..

Take care and will catch up soon...

Hi Girls,

Hope you are all keeping well.

Jema, It must be difficult for you to plan IVF in a different country. I am not sure about ICSI as I have not been advised to try this. I hope everything goes as planned for you. I take folic acid (5 mg) and sometimes take Pregnacare ( which is a vitamin combined with folic acid ). Pregnacare is recomended for ladies who are pregnant and also likely to be pregnant. I am not sure which brand is available in Indonesia or Singapore. Chel may be able to help you with this query ?

Anamika,

I am so glad to hear that the scan was fine. I was surprised to hear that you still go for Yoga. Do you go for special classes ?

Thank you for all the encouragement honey. I am trying to be as positive as possible. I am going for my FET in August.

Chel , How was your scan my dear ? Hope all is going well. Please relax and take it easy. Have you started your part time job ?

Tina, how is your cycle going ? Have you seen the Doc yet ?

Until next time. take care girls.

Love ,
Sita

Hi Sita,
hos are you doing?Sorry i have been missing in action! I also feel so close to you girls.It's incredible to be friends with you girls whom i have never seen or spoken to but yet have had heart to heart discussions about doctors,treatment,husbands,colleagues,emotions and most importantly inlwas!

.All the thanks goes to technology.If this was 10 or more years back,i'd be just sitting alone feeling sorry for myself and having no one to talk to.I have been fine just carrying on with work.I am waiting for my period to come.When it does if my estrogen levels are normal,they will start the cycle.When we want our period to come,it takes its own sweet time to come and when we don't want it to come,it comes so soon! So i guess transfer will be by begining or middle of August if all is well.Sita you'll be giving me company!Today i went for acupuncture after long time.Don't know if it will help,but thought i'll feel happy that i tried everythign even if it doesn't work.The doc gave me back massage and am still hurting from that.Ouch! This weekend was dh's younger sis's baptism in India.I thought i would have one of my mood swings again and spoil the weekend,but i kept my cool.So i am happy.I waste so many good weekends just on my mood swings. :oops:Today is my day off and am enjoying it.Hi Chel how are you feeling now?I had a question for you,did you do accupuncture during your ivf cycle?Just wanted to know if it had any effect.Did you go for your scan?I know it must be stressful waiting to see that all is fine with the baby/ies.Don't worry about multiples.If God gives you them, He'll give you strength and courage to face any problems that come with it.Besides you won't have to go throught all the stress of ivf again for another baby.So don't worry,everything happens for the best.Hi anamika,Wish you the best for your pregnancy too.You're quiet active with the yoga and swimming.That;s great.Enjoy it!Shez what's happening with you?Long time no news?
Tkae care giels,I'm of to watch the 12 pm movie!It's called "The last Trimester" Intersting! TAKE CARE,LOVE TINA
Take care

Hi Tina,

Glad to hear that u are keeping well.

I am in the same boat as you. I am waiting around for my period. As I am still on clexane (to avoid blood clotting post OHSS) & my Doc has asked me to have a normal period before I can start with FET. Hence I need to wait for 2 periods now.

I was supposed to get my period on the 1st but it is already 11 days late. Hopefully, it should come soon.

I hope all goes as planned and hope we can both have our FET by August.

Glad to hear that you are taking time off and relaxing. I think we all need to treat ourselves once in a way.

Have you finished your MBA ? How is work ?

Take care of yourself. We must meet once we have our children !!

Love and hugs,
Sita

hi all,
good to see that the thread is active again, I went for my scan yesterday, we saw 3 heartbeats, I was happy that there were heartbeats but i m honestly shocked to learn that i m carrying triplets, we never expected this. we even felt sad the whole day yesterday but at the end of the day its was our decision to put 3 and we should take the responsibility. I m fine abt having 3 children i m only worried abt the risks involved, so now the worrying continues......

sita,
I wont be taking up the PT job as i m having triplets now, so no work, no money, with more babies ha ha...

tina,
Ya i agree with u and sita, its been a great thread where i was able to overcome my emotions and fears.

jemima,
I m with KK Hospital (hope u have heard abt it), the successs rate here is lately very very high, I heard that the success rate from Jan 06 to june 06 was 58% unbelievable! My Doctor is really nice, i can mail him anything and he will answer in a few minutes but the waiting time to see him can be a bit frustrating as he is the senior consultant. I was on 5mg folic acid and nothing else. KKH is the cheapest ivf clinic in singapore and yet provide the best service. All the best to u, Oh if u want to talk to more gals cycling in singapore go to this website: www.singaporemotherhood.com (Matters of the heart-cycle buddies)

Hi Girls…,

Sita, Thanks. I took the advice about supplement from this site. I bought Folic Acid 400 mcg, Vitamin E 200 IU, Fish oil with EPA, DHA and Evening primrose oil and Vitamin C 1000mg. I hope it is not too much.

Tina, Sita… Good luck with Transfer.

Chel, Tina is right. If God gives you them, He'll give you strength. I think about it a lot. I know that DR will put 3 embryos inside. I always want twins, but I am afraid that I can not handle. I am overweight and high cholesterol. Also afraid, no facilities can support me with twins or triplets like money, doctor, etc… well, just let everything in God’s hands.

I know about KK. It was my 1st choice. I have been there. Only that, they put me in waiting list. I have to wait at least two years before I get my sperm donor. The list is too long, almost 100. Also KK is half government; they do not allow using donor outside Singapore. The donor must Singaporean, and it is rare. I can’t wait that long. I run with my age…

Talk to you soon… God Bless you in everything you do…

Luv,
Jemma

Hi Chel,
Triplets wow!!! This is absolutely miraculaous.All these years you were trying to have a baby and now you are carrying triplets!You will need an extra set of hands to carry them around! Congratulatioons again.I know still it must be stresful situation for you always worrying that something will go wrong especially when you carry multiples. But remember whatever happens is out of our control.Don't carry the burden of that stress on your shoulders.Just take it a day at a time.Just think of that day ,eat well ,rest well and enjoy it with our babies.Don't think of what might happen or how will you handle 3 babies.Your MIL and mom must be just waiting to get hold of those babies to sing to and play with.Don't put stress on yourself.(Easier said than done!)Enjoy all the pampering .We'all pray that next year at this time you won't be getting any sleep with 3 active little ones.So sleep now when you can.Take care ,Loove Tina

Hi all,

Sita, Wish you good luck on your upcoming FET. Keep up the positive spirit and countinue what needs to be done. Please eat good amount of proteins and stay healthy.

Chel, Congratulations!! I can understand the issues around carrying triplets, but remember that once it's all over, you will have three wonderful kids, and thrice the fun and happiness.... Enjoy your pregnancy and stay fit.

My dear Chel, Tina, Jemina and Anamika,

Hope you are all well. I have been thinking about all of you recently even though I did not get a chance to post a message.

I have been busy visiting the hospital for scans and they say I am now ready to have the FET with the next period. I am expecting this to be around the beginning of Sep.

Chel, I have been praying for you my dear. I am sure God will give you the strength to carry all three kids. How are they doing ? Have you gone for another scan my dear ? Hope everything is going well. I am sure hubby and you are excited. Hope hubby is pampering you and making you get as much rest as possible. I hear the 1st 3 months are most challenging and then it gets better. Hope and prayers will always carry you through. Pls also make sure you eat all the healthy food as well.

Is you mother with you now ?

Tina, Have you had you FET ? Since I was OK on the trial run I am now ready to have my FET with my next period. I will be on the down regulation medication and hormone replacement medication. I am slightly nervous but I am hoping I can get through it.

How is work and studies ? I hope everything is going smoothly for you as well my dear.

Anamika,

Hope you are feeling good and progressing well with your pregnancy. Wish you all the best !!

Jemina,

Hope you are taking the supplments and folic acid. How is your cycle progressing. Whcih hospital did you settle for in the end ? Hope it is all going as per plan.

Shall close now girls.. Will love to hear from you again.

Lots of love,
Sita
