IVF - 2 week waiting

6 June 2011:

1 Embryo transfer in at 2pm.
Before the transfer could begin I was briefed by the embryologist that only 1 embryo fertilized successfully. The embryo grew to 4 cells on 2 days culture. A photo snapshot on the 4 cells embryo was taken .
Doctor show the procedure on the ultrasound monitor screen. it was a very quick procedure that only took less than 5mins.
My bladder was So full i couldn't bare laying on the bed for more 15mins, it's very uncomfortable laying down in a cold room .

Instructed by the nurse I would need to return on the 10 June 2011 , morning to do a blood test check on my progesterone level
And the final check on the pregnancy test was to conduct on the 20 June 2011 morning.

I thoughts was pretty negative as the day began with a cold raining day, a bad sign for starting.
My body felt cold on the afternoon. There seems no warm sunlight to warm me up.

On the way back home , I had a tea break of a Milo drink n a cold cheese hams. That caused me to have a upset stomach , I had a mild diarreo . Another bad sign for today. I Took quite a lot of warm water to warm me back.

My daring hubby cooked fried rice for me for dinner that immediately warms me up for the coldness.

13 days left . I wonder tomorrow will be a better day for me.

Product Features

  • Network Compatibility: CDMA
Cons:

1. There is no comfortable way to hold the Xoom while using it for more than a couple of minutes.
2. It feels very heavy when holding it with one hand for more than a couple of minutes.
3. Many of the apps in the market place crash.
4. Many of the apps in the market place are designed for a small smartphone screen and only fill a small portion of the screen.
5.No micro-usb charging. Motorola makes you drag around a clunky old one-of-a-kind A/C adapter to charge the Xoom
6. The volume rocker is too flush with the Xoom, and thus it can be incredibly hard to push the buttons sometimes. You'll have your finger on the volume up or down button and swear you're pressing it, but you're not pressing it in the right spot.
7. The speakers are good, not great
8. there's a huge lack of optimized apps for it on the marketplace (like 20 or so). A lot of the un-optimized apps run fine, but some have graphics issues and others crash period. Android 3.0 is brand new and this is the first and only tablet with it, so these issues will likely be addressed with time.

Wow:
1. Flash 10.2 will be available in a few short weeks as will support for microSD cards, so don't let that keep you from purchasing the Xoom.
2. 0 to 100 percent battery life in about 3 hours
3. The Xoom's screen is made from Gorilla Glass which means you won't be neeeding a screen protector anytime soon (unless you don't like a glassy feel)
4. The keyboard is very accurate and the widgets are great. Most android apps work beautifully even if not created for Honeycomb
4. This thing moves fast
5. not noticed one hiccup in speed or performance even when doing the most multitasking on a portable device
