Infertility

Eff you IF! I am going to Hong Kong!

So I finally made a decision on my trip ( original thread https://community.thenest.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/47066382.aspx )

I am going to Hong Kong! Yaaaaay!!! I am pretty excited! We got a pretty good deal, flights from Vancouver BC to Hong Kong and hotel for 1355.00 per person!

Our hotel is right near my DH's grandmas house so we will be able to get there easily and right near a Metro station.

If I do get a bfp before then (and I am taking this cycle off because I have c-diff and am on heavy duty antibiotics) then I will have to fly first tri but I am not going to let it stop me from having a life!

Has anyone here been to Hong Kong?! Any info you can give me will be great. 

I am a little nervous because I don't eat Chinese food, but I will figure something out!

Re: Eff you IF! I am going to Hong Kong!

  • I spent a week in Hong Kong about 5 yrs ago for work. It was a pretty amazing experience. The food may be an issue. I like chinese food and I still couldn't find anything that tasted right. I think it was just because they raise their poultry different there and so it tasted slimy almost??? If that makes any ense. I will tell you there is an amazing restaurant across from the pulp club downtown that had the best scallops I have ever had in my life. I don't think we could have eaten there without the locals that took us though.... sorry for any spelling or formatting issues, writing from my phone. I will try to tell you more about what we did and saw when I am back online!

  • I haven't been but good for you!

    If u get a BFP, i was allowed to fly in the 1st tri. My dr said the risk is not to the baby...it's if something happens, u aren't home.

    I said F it too, and went on my vacation.

    Yeah my DH is Cantonese (although he hasn't been there since he was 5 and it was just for a visit) but his extended family (cousins aunts uncles and grandma) all live there so we should be able to get around ok. Plus BIL is coming too and he has been more recently.

    Luckily for me Bil is bring FSIL and she is almost as picky as me. The boys have already taught us how to say "No meat" -Mmm sik yook

    Yeah they cook everything weird. Nothing is ever simple or plain. I will eat plain white rice with salt, but DH says I should bring my own salt shaker because they probably won't have one there. Hopefully that doesn't get mistaken for something else in my luggage ;)
