Hoping I can see the same results as you girls soon!
Though I'm out for this cycle.
I was having delayed menses of 6 days and with bloating, cramping,burping, gassiness. My cycle is usually regular. Still, turns out the witch just have to appear on the 7th day.

Thanks for hearing me out. I guess it's an emotional journey for all of us here ttc. Let's all build up our health towards reaching to the day we have been waiting for.

Hi ladies, I'm on 2ww now too. Here's my story:
- Been TTC for 5 years although not actively TTC every month
- Fertility checks all pass for HB and me
- Been to several TCM but I must admit, quite inconsistent (go 3-4 months only)
- Failed one IUI last year
- Going for IUI again in a few months, now trying naturally again
- Trying naturally for this couple of months and also to build up body for IUI again
Now 2ww, AF is due early next week but I am hoping not to see the witch.
Feeling extremely bloated today and boobs (nipples rather, sorry TMI) are sore.

Hi catinthesky! Hope this will be the lucky month for you! But however if it isn't, I will suggest you to see TCM but consistently, as TCM needs to see consistently then effective! I would recommend dr TSB.

Hi Catin,
I agree with CTTC, i was on TCM for around 8mths, stopped for a yr after surgery and got a successful IVF. Just tested positive with Dr today.

Thanks ladies! I found that TCM meds always make me very heaty and I end up falling sick. But I do agree this kind of thing takes time and I should have stuck to it. Cost was a factor too.. it became really a bit ex to pay $80-120 per visit and have to visit every week / fortnight.
Congrats kukuangelia!!! So happy for you
CCTC, who is dr TSB?

TSB is a famous TCM in Chinatown. Her meds need to brew one. Not powder mixed kind. But I feel effective. I took 2 months only then got pregnant. Her meds usually one month so only visit once per month. So I guess no need keep going back every week.Thanks ladies! I found that TCM meds always make me very heaty and I end up falling sick.

Thank you
havent week12. Dont congrats yet Btw.. i was with Chen Qiu Mei @ NTU. The one that helped alot of celebrity to concieve naturally too. I dont experience any heatiness with body. In fact, i feel that my body no longer feel 'cold' , i feel alot more energetic. And i no longer fall sick every mth after 3-5th packet of meds.
And yes, cost is the factor. But come to think of it. We can spend it willingly on shopping & good food. Why dont we spend it on herbs tat can give us better health.
Haha~ best of luck yeah~

It seems like there're quite a few good news lately. Congrats CTTC and loveholic!
Do you mind sharing what you did differently this month?
Hope to catch your baby dust.
hey sorry for the late reply!
i stopped my BCP in Feb but have been taking folic acid + vitamins from Jan till Mar. From Mar onwards i stopped those 2 and took Blackmores Conceive Well Gold which has all the necessary nutrients to promote healthy conception.. i've heard pretty good reviews about it so decided to try
on top of that, everytime after BD, i will put a pillow under my butt to raise my hips higher so that the sperm can flow inside better. reason being i've did a mini experiment if u were to get up immediately after ejaculation or just lie flat, the quantity of sperm flows out even more (law of gravity). i did that for like 20mins everytime and took special note of when i was ovulating. BD every 2 - 3 days.
i did not track any BBT nor used OPKs to see if i'm ovulating. Why? because that will add more stress to you if you keep monitoring. yes one of the most important thing to note is to NOT stress yourself. just keep a free open mind, and dont keep thinking if this will affect ur chances of pregnancy etc. i kept telling myself if it comes, it will come. don't go on a googling rampage as well (i used to do that and it really got my mind overloaded with alot of information, not knowing how true or false they are).
all the best and baby dust to everyone who is TTC-ing!!!

Though many said there is no evidence lifting butt helps, but I do the same too. Gravity is something we can't go against anyway. It doesn't hurt doing this little action to increase the chancehey sorry for the late reply!

Yes same!! I was on blacksmore previous months and it didn't work for me. Somehow once I changed to rainbow lite I got bfp. Raspberry is up to you, it's for building lining. After menses ended, I alternate drinks of raspberry, red bean soup, red date longan drink, ginger tea etc so I don't get too bored.... Haha u can drink everyday if u don't find sianWow that's a lot of vitamins. I recently just bought the rainbow prenatal also. Is this the same one that you are eating?

Dear All
Im currently tracking O on ovulation kit.
Got those from q10 kind.
Started tracking from day 11.
Everytime its juz very faint line...
I wonder if the line will get darker day by day as ovulation date gets nearer?
Or it will be juz faint line and on O date, it juz turns dark?

It should get darker and when both lines are the same tone it will be ovulation day.
I double confirm my Ovulation day by using the ClearBlue smiling blinky.
Hi Rainbowskies
Its so weird... I have started tracking with O kit since day 11. Its all been very faint line
On day 14, theres a more visible line, however not as dark or darker than the test line.
But today (day15) the line fainted again....
I tested on another kit again, also shows a faint line.
Why liddat?

All tested with FMU or at different times of the day?
Not sure is it you may not be ovulating this month or ovulating later. How long is your cycle usually?
The control line and test line will be in same dark tone on ovulation day.

@Dazzelsim do you happen to have pcos? For some ppl wif pcos, using the opk may not be very accurate. Alternatively you may track your ovulation with bbt.Hi Rainbowskies
