yeah i tk dusphaston twice a day, utrogestan 3 times insert daily, jab twice a week... but for me it's bcos i got miscg before. it helps to keep me feeling protected ... if it's ur 1st preg and u didnt do any blood test that show u lack of hormone i dont think it's necessary. all drugs have some risk and side effect... my jab is $35, pills about $1+/tab for both.so avg a week $120 on all these...
i took progesterone jab thru out my 2nd and 3rd pregnancy. First 3 mths is daily jab and after the 12th week to week 36th is twice a week. Very painful cos the med is oil based (means it's thick) so doc had to use a thicker needle.
Expensive, YES.. paid S$45 for each dose of the med and brought the med to my GP for the jab so i need not pay for the needle.
I was told by the GP that as it is a hormones jab, if bb is a boy, there is no harm. If baby is a girl, they she will be boyish. But my gynae said not true.

Hi
My last mense date was 30th Nov and I tested postive at home & GP on Sunday. But when I went to see the gynae yesterday, he can't detect anything in my womb except a small shadow. He had to do a blood test and ultrasound scan for me next week and ask me to take progesterone.
I'm so worried and depressed that I had not been sleeping well and morale had been really low.
If the test kit is positive, I should be pregnant right? Anyone have similar experience?

Hi Kath,
Don be too worry, probably u r at a very stage. U can't see anything except the sac during the very initial stage. Even that, u have to scan from ur vaginal, u can't see it through abodminal scan. Just go for the bld test & the result will reveal everything. Meanwhile, just relax & rest well.

Is normal for 1st time mummy to have brown discharge because the uterus is expanding. as long as is not fresh red blood. No worries, enjoy ur pregancy!
hi Angeline Ong (angel10), dun worry, it's normal to feel bloated.. try burping or farting.. haha
aft food, try to sit upright to facilitate digestion? so food wun get stuck at intestines.. if i remember correctly, i tink now our digestive system works slightly slower.. so it's harder for food to get digested..

hi gilbert, there is nothing much a doctor can do before 6 weeks, except to go for urine test to confirm pregnancy. some may do a vaginal ultrasound to see if the sac can be seen. heartbeat confirm cnanot be heard or seen yet. the thickening of the uterus lining can be seen at 4 weeks +. usually, hopes run much higher for a pregnancy when the heartbeat is detected. I went to a doctor at 4 weeks + because suspected etopic pregnancy. then re-saw the doctor to confirm heartbeat at 7 weeks. it was only after saw heartbeat, that the doctor relaxed. because I didn't have bleeding, I didn't have my blood taken for HCG level checks. I only had cramping.
hi gilbert, etopic pregnancy is when the fertilized egg implants not in the uterus but in the fallopian tube. the sypmtoms are very painful cramping, especially on one side of the lower stomach. It is not common.
I don't know if seeing a doctor early can be considered a waste of money. I mean, it depends on your threshold.
Seeing a doctor before 6 weeks can only probably see the sac and another else. between 7 to 9 weeks, can probably see heartbeat. Whilst seeing the sac confirms that the pregnancy is not etopic, it may still mean that the pregnancy may not proceed well because it is a blighted ovum. Most doctors start to be optimistic about a pregnancy only after heartbeat is detected. and then, after the mother enters into 2nd trimester. these are the 2 key stages when confirming the safety of pregnancy. there is a 20% chance of miscarriage in the 1st trimester.
I don't think a doctor will normally do pap smear in 1st consultation. pap smear is to detect cervical cancer. It may be done in later stage of pregnancy (closer to delivery) to rule out strep B infection. but even then, strep B infection testing is not commonly done.
pap smear is recommended once a year. but it is only to detect cervical cancer. therefore, your wife should have done it earlier, but it is not harm to pregnancy if she doesn't do it now.

gilbert, she may want to take an iron supplement if she feels tired easily, or else, eat iron rich foods. she should continue taking folic acid, dark green leafy veg and lots of calcium rich foods like toufu, hard cheese (avoid soft cheeses unless you are certain they are pasturized), youghurt, or else, calcium supplements. there are several types in the market, but try to avoid the cheaper calcium carbonate (generic name) as it's the type hardest absorbed by the body. She should try to eat food high in protein but keep to lean meat. Bear in mind that what she eats now will put onto her body frame. If she eats food high in fat, it's harder to lose that additional weight post-delivery. If her increase in weight is caused by healthy food like fruit and cereal, it's easier to lose that additional weight. i'm speaking from experience. I lost 20kg in 6 weeks! didn't go for any massage too. I just breast fed.
All foods in small amounts are okay, except for raw foods including semi cooked eggs, mayo,. some mummies find spicy food causes cramping. for me, I was okay with spicy food but found that watermelon and pineapple caused cramping. So I limited my intake of these.

root beer has caffein! 
why not take those fruit juice that states as No sugar added?
During pregnant, dont take too much sugar intake.. might have gastational diabetes..

Don't take cabbage, don't take dang gui, don't take all the "liang" food.
gilbert, liang foods include - watermelon, coconut, pineapple, and green bean.
There are 3 categories of foods pregnant women consider not taking:
1) medically proven unsafe for pregnant women (ie. fish high in mercury, unpasturized milk and cheeses, etc)
2) possibly unsafe for pregnant women (ie. raw food due to possible bacteria in food)
3) according to chinese belief, unsafe for pregnant women (ie. liang food).
hope this clarifies.
For me, I avoided (1) and (2) and I took small amounts of (3) to the extent my body allowed it.

gilbert, I don't think ALL pregnant women will feel uncomfortable eating "cooling" food. Like I mentioned, I was able to eat some watermelon and pineapple even during my 1st trimester (about 1/4 a medium sized watermelon and pineapple). I don't know what the rationale is. it is the chinese belief that yin yang balance is important in pregnant state, and cooling food is too yin and would throw that balance out of synch, and would jeopardise the pregnancy. actually, I ate watermelon and pineapple before I realised I was preggie.. during 6th week. but I experienced some cramping when I ate them in large amounts. so I stopped eating in such huge quantities. it was only during 7th week, that I realised I was preggie. but because I was able to eat these fruit in small amounts before, I continued doing so throughout pregnancy.

I am about 5weeks+ pregnant now.. went to visit gynae last Sat, did the ultrasound and also vagina scan but both scans showed nothing
my gynae scheduled me to go back 2 weeks later to do another scan, as he made me did another urine test and i was confirmed pregnant. he also prescribed me with folic acid & utrogestan.
apart from the pregnancy kits that showed I'm pregnant, I didn't have any morning sickness symptoms at all but I feel hungry very easily especially at night. My chest feels firmer and rounder now too..
hope I could see something during my next visit to the gynae!

Hi gilbert,
So far I can sleep pretty well, except that i'd wake up at 5+ to pee hahaha cos I had been drinking alot of water lately as I felt like I'm always thirsty.
Don't really have morning sickness yet, but my cramps are getting worst now. Sometimes I'd feel abit light-headed too.
I assume your wife would be due in maybe Oct? Come join us at Oct mummies thread
Daddy also can join.
