Little one tossing around

Just had my healing session. Was feeling so relaxed that I dozed off again and awoke when its towards the ending time.

Mdm Tan tells me she feels my little one is growing stronger and tossing around happily inside my tummy.

So happy and relieved that all is doing well. My next appointment is to hear the little one's heart beat and I am looking forward to this special day, 9 Dec (with a special meaning too)!

Thank you!

Repeated my BT result and it's 287 on 14 day past transfer. Very happy!

Mdm Tan, thank you for your gift of healing touch and for making my dreams come true - finally got my long awaited BFP!

Had been trying to conceive for the past 3 years, seen many TCMs and failed one IUI and one IVF fresh. For a while, I lived in "darkness", lost hope and direction in my life. You have helped me re-gain my confidence and positivity in life.

Although this is only the beginning, I have trust and faith in reaching my destination with your divine help - I'm looking forward to carrying my cute little bundle of joy in my hands. And I want to conceive naturally for my second child with your help as well.

Thank you once again!!

If you're  having difficulty in conceiving a child just like me and have exhausted many means, you may want to look into this holistic way. Sometimes, western including chinese methods of diagnosis provided few clues or concrete conclusions.

Who knows; miracles may just happen? Give yourself a chance.

If you're keen to know more, here is the website : http://www.yoga-inn.com/

Just give Mdm Valencia Tan a ring or sms.

I wish you all the luck and BFP soon!!! Everyone Jia You!!!

I saw red during the 2ww

Yesterday while at work, I saw red!

I rushed down to KKH and pestered the nurses for the Beta BT. It was really not easy. They gave me so many excuses and wanted me to return on the actual test date. Heck care them!

At the same time, I smsed Mdm Tan to help me. (Save me please!)

She did a distance healing and told me that I will be fine - I will be pregnant and my reading will be in the region of 100 plus.

Was relieved and thankful!

Waited and waited. Finally the result is out! I rushed back to O&G.

Yes, the nurse passed me the paper - HCG beta is at 102.7 (tested on 12 days post transfer).

That means pregnant!!!! Its official now!!! Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

I quickly smsed Mdm Tan to tell her this good news.

Went over to TPS and asked the nurse to squeeze me in to see Dr Loh. Thankfully Dr Loh agreed, but I will be the last one to see him. Means got to wait from 6pm to 9/ 10pm. .

Mdm Tan is so kind. It was drizzling and she came by KKH to accompany me for dinner, talked to me and to wait for the doctor. (My hubby was not around).

Time passes real quickly and I was given a jab to stabilise the pregnancy and also prescribed with Duphaston and increased dosage of Progonova.  Dr Loh asked me to return tomorrow on Friday for another Beta BT again.

Until now, there is no more bleeding or spotting. Good that I was given that jab!

Hoping, praying from the bottom of my heart that all is doing well and my beta will increase.

Mdm Tan says it will!

Waiting for the big day again - HPT day

According to TCM, I have a "cold" womb, so I must keep taking hot stuff eg. warm water, hot soups, etc. Yes - I need the warmth and energy to spread to my "cold" womb and "de-freeze" it!

Here is a link for more information - Like what it says,

“Cold womb” not only causes the wrong temperature for the embryo to grow, like a seed growing in chilly weather, but also congeals the blood inhibiting uterine circulation.

Mdm Tan, please energise my womb. Make it a nice and warm place for my babies to survive, to grow and implant deep deep.

Continues my healing sessions while waiting for the big Beta day.

Mdm Tan tells me to stay positive and relaxed - I will be blessed with a BFP.

I can see that she is as excited as me!

I feel very happy with her assurances - I'm now very much looking forward to this journey to the next step ahead.

2 precious little ones inside me

I just had my Embroyo Transfer. Everything was good and is a breeze so far.

Yeah - Dr Loh confirmed that I had 2 embbies to use. Both are grade 2.

During my last ET in August, I had a difficult time - Dr Loh took about 20 min. In fact, he tried for 10 min and got irritated. Scolded the nurse. I suspected either his mood is no good or he is irriated by my "complicated insides".

He asked me not to be so stressed with such stiff legs. He is still opolite to me. He asked me to pee (to empty half my bladder) first.

OK, so I stepped down and released half my bladder. Wah, shiok~~

Then I climbed up the chair again and Dr Loh tried again. I waited waited and finally I heard him say "Finally found it!".

Alemak! What does this mean? Sounds like very complicated?

He smiled and said "Good Luck"

"Is mine very difficutlt? Why you say Finally found it? " I asked him

"Yes, yours is like a maze and not all doctors can do it." He replied.

This was his exact words.

This time, I was glad that my ET only took 5 mins. Just like what Mdm Tan told me. Thank you for this miracle!

I'm now officially in the 2 week wait! I will BFP with grade 2 embbies!

I remember someone in SMF BFP with grade 2 embby and went on to deliver the baby. I will be like her too!

ET day

Thank you to Mdm Tan for her help!

I just received her message early in the morning saying that my 2 snow babies are okie, and my ET process will be very fast, just 5 min, not like my previous experience of 20 min.

Yes, I will have 2 for ET!!! Yippeeeee!!!

My wish is to have 2 for transfer, so as to increase my chances of conceiving! Heee Heee.....

Now at KKH still waiting for my turn to be called into the operation room.

Such a long wait.............. its scheduled at 9 am and its now almost 11 am. Saw my Dr Loh walking in and out of the operating room. Is he going to see patients again or is he going for delivery?

I shall be patient.... but my hubby is complaining already........Aiyooo......

Distance Healing - Protection time

Will my 3 little ones survive the thaw? Will they be strong? They are only grade 3 with only 6 cells when frozen. Not so fanastic.

According to this website, they should at least have 7-10 cells after 72 hours (3 day) for a 3-day embroyo. Mine only 6 cells which is below average.

http://www.advancedfertility.com/embryoquality.htm

I feel so so so soooooo worried. If they can't make it past thawing, I will have nothing left to use. No more FET for me and I will have to start fresh. Even Dr Loh and Dr Marianne is moving on. I will be stuck!

I really prayed very hard that KKH will not call me tomorrow morning telling me the bad news "no need to go for ET".

My embbies are just border line cases - only grade 3. How many will fall to grade 2? How many to grade 1? How many cannot use?

I asked for help again.......... Mdm Tan please help my 3 little snow babies. I want to have my ET on Friday,

Mdm Tan did a distance healing for my 3 snow babies - she will try her best to "protect" them with love and care, so that they can survive the thawing process. Poor little ones. I will await for her good news tomorrow. She says she will sms me tomorrow on Friday morning.

Don't believe in Divine, also cannot.

At this stage, nobody can help - Not even doctors, TCM can't help. It's all left to God's will as some people say. I prayed to Kwan Im Temple. I asked Mdm Tan for help. I hoped and prayed very very hard.

It is now a waiting game...........

Poor Mdm Tan, she must be feeling as stressed as me, I guess..

First scan - good lining

My first scan is today and I'm blessed with 10mm, triple!

Grinning from ear to ear. The duty doctor says that I can have my ET this Friday.

Looks rosy and good - everything is going on fine and at a good pace. No hiccups along the way. Most glad that I can still catch Dr Loh to have ET by him before he leaves.

In fact, Mdm Tan's message to me last week was that I will have 10mm. It is true!

Now its kia-su time, I will go for intensive healing sessions now to prepare myself for the very important ET day - Decided to go 3 times a week.

To be frank, I also feel the pinch in my pocket.  I convinced myself that it will all be worthwhile for my BFP. I need to make this work, without any regrets. At least I am answerable to myself that I have tried my best.

Money can be earned back. Everything else can wait. Time and baby cannot wait.  (Haha, my age also cannot wait.)

I don't wish to go for another IVF fresh again costing at least S$10,000 (KKH pricing) with all the injections, pain and medication in my body.

If I follow Dr Loh to his private practice, I don't know how I can afford it.....and I need to make it happen this time, as I don't have many embbies left..... just 3 little ones.

I think I won't have chance to do another FET. I'm not blessed like some ladies who have 10 over frozen embbies...
