試管嬰兒日記-6W1D 試管嬰兒的懷孕周數計算

 2023/9/17


試管嬰兒的懷孕週數計算方法跟自然受孕有點不同。


自然受孕就是從最後一次月經來第一天開始算。

試管嬰兒的話就把植入的那一天當第14天，再加上胚胎的天數。

例如我是8/24植入 培養5天的胚胎，那8/24那天就是懷孕第14+5=第19天。


這麼算起來的話今天已經滿6週了，還沒有任何孕吐的症狀，也沒有脹乳，嘴巴也沒有怪味，這樣正常嗎？老是很擔心會不會又是胚胎停止生長，hCG沒有再升高了...>"<


雖然網路上的資料都說有20~30%的幸運兒不會孕吐，但又有資料說不孕吐的話流產機率比較高。但願是因為肚子裡有天使寶寶讓我不會孕吐！


還要撐到下禮拜二才會回診，每天都只能提心吊膽無法感覺胚胎有沒有好好長大，實在很煎熬啊~~上次醫生說超音波可以看到胚囊之後，就不會再測hCG了，禮拜二就是6W3D了，希望可以照到一個健康的胚胎（跟心跳）！


自從大出血之後，這幾天已經沒有再流髒血出來，不過分泌物變多，顏色米黃，稍有異味，恐怕是有感染。聽說因為懷孕後賀爾蒙劇烈變化，黃體素激增，會導致免疫力下降，所以更容易感染。但是有些感染情形可能會造成流產風險！不知道禮拜二能不能順便檢查😨




The way to calculate the weeks and days of pregnancy for women undergoing IVF treatment is different from that of women who conceive naturally. The latter one simply starts from the first day of their last period. But for IVF moms, the date of implantation is the 14th day plus the age in days of the in vitro embryo. 


For example, my implantation was conducted on August 24, with a 5-day-old embryo. So, August 24 marked the 19th day of my pregnancy (14+5).


That means, I am 6 weeks pregnant now! Strangely, I still haven't experienced iconic symptoms like morning sickness or tender breasts. Is this normal?


Many online essays say there will be 20 to 30% of lucky people who won't experience morning sickness at all. However, a small number of studies also suggested a lack of morning sickness may indicate miscarriage. 


I am constantly on my toes these days, fearing the fetus isn't growing as hoped for.


My next medical check is slated for next Tuesday, just two days away. I'd be pregnant for 6 weeks and 3 days then. Hopefully we can see a healthy fetus with heart beats!

成佛有什麼用？what is the use of becoming a Buddha?

成佛有什麼用？What is the use of becoming a Buddha? This is a rhetorical question often asked by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. We always have the presumption that life is for a purpose and every thing we do should contribute to that purpose, otherwise it's useless. This ubiquitous utilitarianism dominates our modern society. It's so deep and prevalent that we can't even recognize we are acting under its influence. I was reading the book "The Miracle of Mindfulness" by Thich Nhat Hanh this week. He emphasizes on being mindful of one's breath, body movements, feelings and emotions a lot. That means we should be aware of our in breath and out breath at every moment, even when we are doing our work or talking to somebody.  While I seem to know what he's saying, I don't really understand why we should do that? Why should we be aware of our breath when it goes so well automatically? Why do we bother to mind it if human beings have evolved such a long way to make our ...

翻譯練習-【聖嚴法師 心靈環保法與】慈悲沒有敵人，智慧不起煩惱

  【聖嚴法師 心靈環保法與】 慈悲沒有敵人，智慧不起煩惱 Compassion has no enemy, wisdom gives rise to no affliction -- Master Sheng Yen 佛教中有「結緣」的說法，意思就是人與人之間彼此支持、協助，共同走上良善、光明的道路。 Buddhism speaks about "cultivating positive connection," meaning you and I support and help each other so that we can walk on the righteous and bright path together. 「慈悲沒有敵人，智慧不起煩惱」，慈悲的對象，除了慈悲別人，也要慈悲自己。因為不慈悲自己，會讓自己很痛苦。例如，有的人不肯原諒自己，於是就傷害自己。其實做錯事，改過就好，若是不斷責罰自己，就會一直陷在痛苦之中，這就是對自己不慈悲了。對別人也是一樣，如果態度不慈悲，可能就會一再地傷害他人。 In the quote "Compassion has no enemy, wisdom gives rise to no affliction, " we should not only have compassion toward others but also toward ourselves. Without self-compassion, life can be very painful. For example, if one doesn't know how to forgive oneself, they might end up punishing themselves. But the right way to deal with a mistake is to correct it, constantly reproach oneself and remain trapped in suffering . This is a form of self-cruelty. Similarly, if we are not compassionate in our attitude towa...

Different Metaphors for Vanity in English and Chinese

 "Vanity" is a very interesting vocabulary. The first time I noticed this word was in a house renovation TV show (probably the Property Brothers). People in America love this kind of double vanities so much that they keep mentioning this word. But when I looked up "洗手台" ( the Chinese word of vanity) on the internet, the results were "washbasin, sink, hand basin…" None of them were what I had heard on the TV program. And they are also not vanities! Then I looked up the English word "vanity", and the Google Translator says it is "pride, arrogant and extravagant". None of them relate to the bathrooms! Finally I found a suitable explanation in the fifth description on the dictionary : a dressing table. It can refer to a dressing table without basins (but with a mirror) or one that settled in a bathroom like the picture. The interesting thing is, the origin of the word is "vain", which means something with empty inside, can not be ...
