試管嬰兒日記-植入第7天，回診測hCG

 植入第7天


今天除了很想睡覺，還是沒有什麼感覺~

看網友都說腹痛、抽痛、乳房脹痛、乳房出現白點之類的，我一個都沒有 😱

而且體溫好像降低了（沒有量基礎體溫，只是單純身體感覺），


結果google文章，發現有一種東西叫作「著床降溫」：

在體溫偏高的黃體期期間，若其中一天（通常會在排卵後第6-10天）突然出現體溫下降約0.5度的狀況，隔天又明顯升高，這個降溫現象稱之為「著床降溫」#資料來源。


一整天都坐立難安無法專心，

等一下就要去診所抽血了，真的很怕會像上次一樣胚胎不明原因停止生長 😭

我在Chrome瀏覽器裝了Plum Village 的mindfulness bell extension, 每15分鐘提醒我回到呼吸、回到當下，多少對安定心神有點幫助。


希望等一下可以有好的結果！





結果檢測出來hCG還可以！！數字落在正常的範圍，


寶寶有在長，但是又出現新的大魔王 😨 「腫瘤壞死因子TNF」...


這個數字應該要<4，但我驗出來25。TNF好像是一種免疫機制，以下網路資料：

分為TNF-α和TNF-β，前者由單核巨噬細胞產生；後者由活化的T細胞產生。最初對TNF功能的認識僅限於對腫瘤的特異性殺傷作用，後來發現TNF也具有免疫調節作用，而且參與某些炎症反應的過程。#資料來源


但問題是，它很兇猛，會殺死胚胎 QQ


為了降低TNF的風險，我在植入前就已經打過生物製劑復邁（Humira）


但醫生說不同品牌的生物製劑對不同病患效果會有20~30%的差異，顯然復邁對我好像比較沒有用（可惡，我打的時候超痛的TT）


總之，禮拜六應該還要再去打一劑新的藥，看能不能趕快降低TNF，好好保護胚胎 >"<



7th day


Still sleepy today~


People say they experienced dull or sharp lower belly pain, breast pain or popping while spots around their breasts. I have none of them. 😱


Besides, my body temperature seems to have dipped. It was high yesterday but feels cooler today. However, I found there’s something called “nidation temperature dip,” where the mother’s body temperature drops by 0.5 degrees Celsius due to hormone changes and then rises again the next. And it usually occurs during the 6th to 10th day after ovulation.


I’ll go to the clinic to have my blood test later this evening. The hCG level will reveal whether the implantation is successful so far… (finger crossed!!)


The result has come out!! hCG number is within the normal range, sitting at 71 on the 7th day~!

Nonetheless… there comes another demon king: Tumor Necrosis Factor! (Things are never easy TT)


It seems to be a product of the immune system, made by macrophages and activated thymus cells (T cells). TNF was first found to be able to kill tumor cells, but later later also associated with the regulation and modulation of immunity (by increasing or reducing the immune response).


The problem is…it kills the embryo QQ (when it takes the embryo as an intruder)


I already got one shot of Humira before my implantation just to mitigate the immune response risk, but Humira seems to have less effect on me. (the doctor says its effectiveness differs by 20~30% from patients.)


I’ll get another shot of another type of biologic treatment on Saturday.

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 ...

（新聞翻譯）The Mongolian Rooney, the thief, and the fightback 蒙古版魯尼，詐騙，與反擊

    News from BBC, by Owen Amos , 20 July 2020 On a cold, dark Mongolian morning, a teenager leaves his family's tent and heads to school through thick, smoky air.It's 06:00 and -20C (-4F). School 107, on the edge of the capital Ulaanbaatar, doesn't open for two hours. But Ochiroo Batbold has a key.   天色未亮、寒風刺骨的蒙古清晨，少年起身離開他的蒙古包，穿過空氣中漫布的白煙，前往坐落在首都烏蘭巴托郊區的「 107 學校」。現在是早上 6 點，氣溫僅僅零下 20 度（負 4 度 F ）。距離學校開門的時間還有兩小時，但是少年，奧奇魯‧巴特伯德，有鑰匙可以進入。

一個公案

Sometimes I come up with my own 公案, a philosophical dialogue or question to contemplate. This is a recent one: Master: The Buddha is not confined to his skin. He is everywhere. So if you only see the Buddha as someone in a physical body, you are wrong. The Buddha is present in the entire universe. Student: Dear Master, why do you say the Buddha is everywhere in the universe? I can't see how the Buddha can be found in the farthest star or at a time before the Buddha Shakyamuni. Master: What Buddha? This came to me after I listened to a Dharma talk from Thich Nhat Hanh on "there is action but no actor". Whenever we wonder "who" is doing "what", "when" and "where", we are caught in the wrong perceptions and are blinded by wrong questions. It's like asking "where is the parallel universe?" That's a false question because space and location are in the universe, not the universe is in the space. And this also came to me ...
