Hi all.. i'm on CD 4 today. Have TTC for last 2 cycles.. My child is 2 years old and i am still bfg her (at night). My 1st AF after delivering her came when she was 15 months old and although i got my AF monthly, the cycle was very irregular ranging from 27 to 53 days.
I started taking BFW (bai fong wan) and i gradually see my cycle length reduce. Hopefully it can regulate to about 30 to 35 days. I also monitor my ovulation every mth and I have late O on CD 25 onwards. My LP is exactly 14 days.
I've read many articles suggesting to wean from breastfeeding to increase my chances but she is not willing to do so and i had a hard time doing it.
Although I am already blessed with 2 kids but somehow I still feel a bit disappointed each time AF arrives. Hopefully i will get good luck this cycle.
Been trying for close to a year now but still no baby luck. Sometimes I wonder if it's stress and how to stop thinking about this. People also have been asking and some suggesting ways (eg: using thermometer or go holiday or see gynae). Wonder how to reply at times and also feel abit affected but got to hide it. AF is coming in 5 days time and already am feeling some cramps.
Still want to wish you all ladies good luck in the ttc!!
i am weaning my boy off night feed.
he is on bottle but it will still be tough.
he has been crying.
so waiting for the day he will be finally sleep through without crying.
i tried soooo many times to wean but she totally wouldn't sleep without nursing. On-off struggle until 3am so in the end i gave up.
she is able to take the bottle, even if her last bottle feed is 10pm but she has to nurse to sleep. Not because she's hungry but because i'm like a pacifier lor. i don't have much milk; not expressing milk anymore.
Gosh! I think the witch will be here soon. All the lousy and fake symptoms... Argh!
At least am back to my regular cycle...
Jia you all. Hope we get BFP soon.

I plan to take ginkgo biloba supplement because my memory has been real poor.
anyone know if it has conflicts with ttc?
I ask here because so far I am not with any specialist or gynae yet.
I just came back from my hospital check-up this afternoon. Urine test came back negative. Thought they would send me for a blood test. But they didn't. She said it's absolutely normal to have your AF delayed. She told me to wait till end of this month. If still no AF by end of nov 15, she told me to take some hormonal tablets that she has prescribed to induce AF. But i still wonder why is my AF delayed by more than 2 weeks. Don't know whether if i should seek another opinion probably a privte doctor this time round if AF hasnt arrive by next week or two. What do ya think?
Which hospital you visited?
I feel you should do blood test to double confirm you are not pregnant before taking pills.
Please seek 2nd opinion.
I went to KKH. i just feel like the doctor wasn't really keen to listen to me when I told her bout my delayed AF. I think 2 weeks of delayed AF means there could be underlying factors that we dont know. But she brushed it off and said it's just your hormones probably. Even though my urine test is found negative. I still think i should seek probably a normal GP or a private doctor for a second opinion.
Yup. Will probably visit a private gynae or a women's clinic doctor. My heart sank when my urine test is normal. -_-. Oh wells.Am not too sure whether GP do any blood test.
It will be better if you can visit a private gynae.

Kayliz, how old is your girl?
I only recently managed to wean off my boy at 30 months because I was pregnant with #2 and nipples were too sore to night nurse. I tried two times before when he was around 20 and 24 months but failed. A colleague who went through this told me to try again at 2.5yo as they can then understand and empathise better our words. I was surprised that after the 3rd night, he didn't try asking to night nurse anymore. First two nights were the toughest for both him and me. Hubby told him that mommy went to work so I returned home only after hubby coaxed him to sleep. Third night I told him mommy is not working tonight but no nursing cos mommy no more milk. Took quite a while for me to pat him to sleep. After a week, he got used to the new routine.
Please hang in there and you will succeed soon. Actually I do secretly miss being my boy's pacifier sometimes. Haha but is a stage we have to go through. Jiayou!
Thanks for your encouragement! My child is 24 months now. Actually i tried a lot of methods including putting lemon juice on my nipples lol. But she was very smart, she quickly licked off the lemon juice and continued to nurse like normal. I tried letting her sleep at my mum's place for a few nights but she cried every night and wouldnt sleep until 7am!! Since then i decided not to force and she will stop when she is ready. I guess it is true that this is mother's nature way of stopping me from getting preg until the elder child is less dependent on me.
I heard from my friend too that their elder kid managed to stop nursing once mummy is preg again as the milk taste start to change. I can understand the sore nips feeling! Cos when i am getting my period, i also feel the same & milk supply decreased. During this period she will latch non-stop throughout the night and refuse to let go. So whenever she starts nursing non-stop, i know my AF is on the way. hahaha
How long did it take for u to get preg while bfg? Were u bfg regularly ? Right now i only nurse 2 to 3 times from 11pm to 7am... she still cant sleep thru the night, will look for the boob every few hrs.
Well u have another one on the way, so very soon u can start your bfg journey again!
I have been trying clomid from 50mg to 100mg but no success after doing my hb sperm analysis his result is on the borderline chances to conceive naturally chances are low so he refer us to Dr Chew to do IUI altot chances are only 10%. Once pregnant i will still go back to him as i have history of M/C.
Tryingtoconceive2014
Ya i have finished all test 2years ago i need IVIG once im pregnant cos my previous 2 pregnancy all hearbeat stop at 7weeks due to anti-bodies... but now after so many try of clomid yet not successful thats y he refer me to do IUI *haiz*
Any one of us went to see Dr Chen qiu mei and gotten pregnant? Can share with me more on the price and how long u been seeing her to see the result?
Who is Chen Qiu Mei? Are you referring to TCM-Tan Siew Buoy?
Ah I think so she was previously with thong chai then came out and open her own clinic in ntu. Are you seeing her? How ur experience with her? Is she have a lot of success rate in helping women get pregnant? Average how long?
Am not sure where is her own clinic. My sister is seeing her and this is her #2. If am not wrong, she's with her before she got her #1. Am waiting for my 1st appt with her on Nov 16 at chinatown. Saw her a few times when I acc my sis there for 挂号。Her appt are very full till next year. If you intend to see her, you should book an appt with her soon. I only know that Mark Lee and Fann Wong see her. Sis told me that have to brew the medication which I find is abit troublesome.
Oh your sister see her for long then conceive the #1 and #2? Is her price expensive? After u see her on the Nov 16 , can share more with me? I had an appointment with her on 4 Dec but I really find it very long wait. I am thinking should I just forgo and walk into another tcm that other mummies also recommend the one in marine parade
I start taking it when i found my cd is 42 days. I taken once every morning. This month my cycle reduce to 32 days.Hi ladies, just wondering if anyone has experience with EYS Bai Fong Wan? Have had feedback from people around that it helps regulate AF and that one of my colleagues even conceived first month of taking it.
I took the pills weekly after my AF last month for three weeks. Though my period can be irregular, it comes on an average of 30-34 days? But I am already on CD40 today. So, why is Bai Foong Wan making my period drag longer instead of regulating it? Wondering if there has been anyone that is not suitable to take it thus causing my body to be chaotic?
