2WW - for those TTC-ing

actually 10dpo can test liao... but accurancy is 80% only
If your cycle is regular and accurate, I think there's no harm testing earlier by one or 2 days? Personally, I will wait till my AF is overdue by about 3 days then test. Usually no chance to test as AF always report on the dot for me. :(
I tried doing a test the other day at 11 dpo.. but bfn...
Today is the day of AF.. I am hoping that it won't come.. =X
 


Hi fellow mummies! I am also TTC. Started tracking my BBT and this is my first time tracking BBT. can i ask normally we should track our BBT for how long before we can derive a pattern from our cycle to identify our ovulation day? i notice some nights are cold so i'm all wrap up with my blanket when i wake up, will that give a wrong reading cause my body temperature will be higher?
 
Hello ladies, I am 38 this year.
Would like to check if anyone above 35 succeed IUI at NUH?
Anyone has good fertility specialists from private hospital to recommend?
Thanks.
 
Hi Veraine, can you share with me which doctor are you seeing for your IUI?
I'm seeing Prof PC Wong from NUH now :)

Diff ladies have diff preferences and their reasons, but I'm more for going to a hospital for fertility treatment cos I started with private and didn't have a good experience with it. My personal opinion is hosps have more structured protocols.

But I'm sure there are some good private ones around too :)

Hi veraine, thanks for sharing :)

Same as you. I don't have good experience with private specialists. Have been seeing many for the past years.
Prof PC Wong is in my shortlisted specialist previously but due to NUH location, I decided to see other specialists.

But you seeing him as privtae too right? If by polyclinic referral, you will not be able to choose the gynae.
His charges should be the same as those from private hospitals.

Hi keldeb, it doesn't make any difference as long as you are well asleep 3 hours before you take your BBT . Hope this helps :)

Yup, private charges.

Have u decided which hospital to go to?
 
TSB told us today best is to bd once positive opk is detected as in bd on the same day and the next day then rest a day and bd one last time. She thinks my hubby's soldiers can't hang around too long if we have bd earlier. My positive was yesterday and we already started bd marathon since few days ago. Next cycle don't need to start so early :p
 
chart my BBT for few days. all along my temperature is between 36.03 to 36.07 but today spike to 36.15. yesterday also got alot of EWCM. is it ovulation over already since temperature suddenly spike up
 
I think everyone's fertile signs are different. Is this the first cycle you are charting?
My pre-O temps can be 35.8x to 36.2x. Ewcm will last 2-3days then just a day or two before ovulation day, it stops. My post O temps are always above 36.4.
So I think you need to chart few cycles to identify your ovulation pattern.
 
Hi all. Have been ttc-ing for 1.5yrs but still no fate w bfp. Doc diagnosed hb w low sperm count n poor mobility. Doc prescribed med for hb and he has been taking it diligently for 6 mths but still no improvement n doc propose ivf for us, he say the chance of us conceiving naturally is only 5%. (that is so demoralising) Did not wish to resign to fate so decided to tried for a few more mths n still no fate w bfp. Book my lst appt w kkh on 11/5 n AF came yst and flow was like waterfall n cramp like there is no tomorrow.
Any tips n tricks from u ladies for ttc-ing? I want to have another go for this mth before my ivf journey. Hopefully this will be my mth. *finger crossed* and bady dust to all.

I think that's not really considered a spike. It shd be more. Mine usually raises abt 0.5 deg.

Chart a few more cycles and observe the pattern?
 
Thanks ladies! this is my 1st cycle charting hahaha i always have a problem with charting on weekend cause always overslept :p *guilty*
 
Yup, private charges.

Have u decided which hospital to go to?

Veraine,
Currently I am with Geneagle but not very good experience there and I am uncomfortable when the doctor ask me to go for operation.
Have decided to go for another round of IVF at NUH by Dr PC Wong. Previously I have did IVF at KKH by Dr SF Loh but failed :(

It took me a lot of courage to go through IVF again. Not because of the pain from the injection but the great disappointment when the cycle failed.

Heh I was w one of e pte gynaes in gleneagles too. Feeling more confident at NUH now.

Yes.. Every failed cycle is painful.. I've been on 8 cycles of clomid/injections, including 3 IUI already.

Today 1dpiui. Prof finally said yes to ivf, if this cycle fails again.

All the best for your ivf! :)

We are in the same boat babe. My hubby sperm also CMI and I have been trying for 1.5 -2 years and moving on to IVF soon also. I think most people will say sperm issue easy to resolve but for me I feel it can improve with supplements, though not to a point where I can BFP naturally. PM me if u need to chat?
 
Hi all,

I have been away for a very long time and now wish to join this thread again, as I'm ready to ttc now finally!

Anyone here have pre-pregnancy check up before trying? Bcos I'm 35 already. What should I do to prepare my body to conceive?

Pls share and advise, thanks!
 
JY! Every month is a chance. It doesn't matter which mth baby u should have ya.. usually things happen when u least expected.
 
Dear mummies to be... Today I'm already 6 days past my period... Only last week I started to feel some sore bbs and (I think) cramps.. Honestly I cannot really tell the difference whether I'm having cramps or a stomach ache because I normally don't get cramps during my normal period... Haha..

Anyway... I had already bought the Watsons brand HPT... Thinking I'll wait till Saturday to do a test... Coincides with my hubby's birthday! :) we are trying for our first baby, so trying to keep my mind off this till Saturday!

Just to get some advice, I've read that the test should be done first thing in the morning.. Anything else to note? Should I use a paper/plastic cup so it'll register better etc.?

I hope I have good news to share! Baby dust to all!!! :)

Yeah.. guess because it is our first time trying so more anxious than usual.. I actually stopped exercising because a friend advised me to not do anything. But well.. This time round, i will keep to my usual routine and see if there will be any happy news 28 days later..

I would say don't stop what u r doing.. especially stuff that makes u happy. TTC is an unpredictable journey.. u never know when u gonna strike that BINGO. So don't restraint urself from anything. Just tell urself. . If it's yours.. it will be yours to stay.

Baby dust to u!!
 
wondering if anyone uses OPK to track ovulation in aiding the process? If yes, where do u all get your OPK? (I bought the 5 tests from clearblue last month.. $50! heart pain and cant be doing it every month)

Yes I depend very much on opk. Do buy from Amazon or taobao or g market. Much more cheaper. I won't spend that money getting from local pharmacies.

thanks for the suggestions. I only discovered the wonders of qoo10 recently.. and purchased some opk.. amazon sadly i couldn't find any opk that ships to Singapore for free.. but looking online, I wonder why are the testing kits so expensive in Singapore!!!!!!! :( (don't they want us to have more kids.. =X)

Ya the digital clearblueopk is more expensive..
One pack contains 7 tests, so it lasts me two cycles.
That's how it is in Sg..haha. All the things are expensive including giving birth.

U test for amh? If it is then is your ovarian reserve. We are born with a number of eggs n as we age the reserve dropped as well as quality.

ohh! yeah! sadly most of the OPK no longer ships for free.. I have just done an amazon order for their HPT though (it is so much cheaper than SG!!!!!!!)
But for OPK, I decided to get those cheap made in china ones. Not very sure if it is good anot, but at least way cheaper than buying from watsons and guardian.
I am totally backward in my research, but just read up on Pre-seed lubricant.. did anyone tried using it before?

Thanks ladies for sharing.
you're welcome! we are all in the same boat of ttc so it is good to share information around.. :)

Hmm not sure if it is amh. Need to check the results again tonight. Actually am glad that I join this forum and get to know more things. There r things I don't know previously and I know now.
 
@lamb_chop you can use preseed esp if you are quite dry down there cos it helps but I also use it even when I'm wet because I read that preseed aids the transport of the sperm to the egg. Whatever helps lah I suppose lol

I tried Pre-seed before, but hubby and I felt conceive plus is better for us..somehow we didn't feel comfortable with Pre-seed. Seems the liquid appears more sticky.

icic.. yeah.. I am more into the idea of aiding the transport of sperm.. bcoz I was worried that husband's sperm wont reach.. stupid worries..

Conceive plus more sticky? or pre-seed? I have not tried any of them yet. But is it possible to buy it in Singapore? Seems like amazon doesn't want to ship it here..
 


@lamb_chop I've only used conceive plus before so can't compare it with preseed. However, I do know that both also have their voters de. I bought mine from qoo10. Sorry, not too sure if you ever mentioned about doing tests before. This is more relevant if you have tried for 1 yr or so without results. Have both you and your hb gone for test before like sperm test for your hb and for you, lh, progesterone tests etc.? If you haven't, might want to consider so that you see if there's a prob with either one of you or both of you. If not, then just continue to whack bd during fertile period.
