any mummy trying for #2 for Year 2016?


Jog, there shouldn't b fade line if you are not preggy. Fade line probably due to is still v v early pregnancy stage only 4weeks+ that's why.

Btw ladies, just realised got a bit clear stretchy mucus. But I tested via the normal ovulation kit, it shows neg. Why is that so?

If really is real clear stretchy mucus, mean try tonight or try tomorrow night?

So confused given the mucus & ovulation test strip does not seem to match. Wondering if I ovulate a not?

Faithmummy1706, missabc, thanks for the encouragement. I read that evaporation line can appear after 10mins which can be mistakened as bfp... The thing is I was really v sleepy during my first pee that I just took the test and then quick look and put aside until 30mins later. Just want to get back to bed asap before alarm clock rings. :p The only way is to test again, I think tomorrow or Friday. If it's really positive, I will rush out to get my folic acid and vitamins. Ran out of these already and didn't feel motivated enough to replenish cos too many disappointments before.

Missabc, sticky stretchy egg white discharge means impending ovulation within 1-3 days... Can start bd every other day once you get that type of discharge. I conceived my #1 based on this knowledge imparted by my ex colleague when I got married. Haha to think that I didn't do much reading into that and easily got pregnant then. Jiayou with your bd and best of luck. I hope all of us succeed soon.
 
Jog, waiting to hear good news update from you soon. I know very hard to get off your mind especially tomorrow is the testing again.

Thanks. Will try tonight onwards. But still wonder why OPK is negative. Positive OPK means ovulation soon and not already ovulated right?

Hi missabc,

Yes, you are right. If already ovulated, the OPK will show a negative.
 
From what I heard from friends who use opk, the +ve opk usually only last 1 or 2 days , so it should mean actual day(s) of ovulation.

Hi jog,

Actually the positive OPK means impending ovulation (ovulation going to happen within the next 1 to 3 days). For me, I did digital OPK before. Tested consecutively for 3 days, and they all showed positive. And the ultrasound scan also showed follicles burst, and when I tested again that day, it showed negative.

Oic tryingtoconceive2014. Hmmm I should go share with my friend who told me the wrong thing but she actually already got pregnant and delivered already. She told me to try the opk but after twice I gave up. I am not a very diligent test every day person. :p Thanks for addressing my misconception!

For all ladies who are interested in testing outcome this morning... Yes there is a faint second line that showed up in about 2 mins. Still quite faint but I was staring at it for about 3 mins with wide open eyes. Learned my lesson from Tuesday. :p I hope everything is fine cos I have this AF coming-stomachache-feeling past two days and been letting go (big biz but not diarrhea) more often. It's like my premenstrual diarrhea feeling. I don't know why but instead of feeling excited, I am now worried about weaning my boy off night nursing which my gynae will definitely ask to.

Thanks for the info sharing. At least I know OPK (+) is an indication of ovulation is approaching within the next 1-3 days.

Jog,

Test again over the next 2-3 days. The line should be clearer I believe

Ladies, what is your take on this OPK result? Doesn't seem (+) to be as the 2nd line is fade, only towards the bottom of of the 2nd line is clear.

if there is real clear Stretchy mucus, please baby dance tonight !!! it means you are fertile already.
And very soon, Ovulation will happen maybe in another 1 - 2 days time... Spermies can live from 3 - 5 or even 7 days !!! After you see a positive OPK, ovulation will happen in the next 12 - 36 hours... and it is still in time to baby dance at that time too... With Good Mucus, the sperm will be able to travel far to the egg .... with the help of the mucus, they swim better...

Jog... some pregnancy symptoms feels like menses Symptoms... !! Stay cool and positive. !!
The weaning part may come naturally after that. My friend's girl wean naturally in the midst of pregnancy because During pregnancy , her milk supply turn to colustrum and almost nothing... so her girl just wean off like that after weeks of dry nursing

Diamondfericia,
Thanks! I will test again to see if it get darker tonight. Bd for continuous 3 days think he cmi.

Faithmummy1706
After the clear mucus with OPK (-), we just bd last night. Spermies can live up to 7 days maybe for those hubby with good quality sperm. I hope his one can too at least up to 3 days.

Jog,
Period & preggy sytoms are v alike! Tell yourself maybe your boy is ready to wean off too. Anyway, you should divert your excitement to your boy will soon have another siblings so that you won't feel bad that you can't continue to bf him.
 
Missabc, tks for the encouragement. You are spot on on my feeling... Some sort of guilt that I am taking away his most treasured activity. I will try to be positive and cautiously optimistic since its still very early stage.

I hope you can get your bfp two weeks later! My gynae told me just bd 3x during fertile period will do, best is alternate day cos the rest in between helps hubby restore the sperm quantity. Jiayou!!!!
 
jog,
We shall wait to hear from you again soon. Excited for you! Thanks! Noted on yr tips but I don dare to pin hope as too much disappointment for some time already...

Hi missabc,

It does look like positive ovulation to me. Please do bd tonight, tomorrow (optional) but definitely Sat night and Sun night (which is optional too).

missabc....
after baby dance, don't think about it anymore....
Drink more chicken essence during 2WW. Sleep early and stay in a happy mood..... Enjoy your bonding with family so that it diverts your attention. Don't attempt to do any symptom checking hehehe I know we all like to do that...

jog, I always tell myself if I ever get pregnant and lost my milk supply, I will feed him breastmilk again after I deliver his sibling !! :)
there are research that show the positive results of siblings sharing the breasts, in terms of bonding, and happiness. as well as health benefits.
Tell him to wait for 8 more months (although he might not really understand our perspective)
I am sure giving him a Sibling is equally important as giving him his much desired latching session. :)

Tryingtoconceive2014, noted your tips. I really hope is positive as Thurs & Fri both tests with exactly the same result but no more mucus & quite dry. Wondering if the OPK is sensitive enough.

Faithmummy1706, thanks for the tips. Really just do it mentality but not pining hope.
 
Hi ladies,

I am trying for my no.2 for about 3 months but still no results and need ur help and advise here. I have problem bcos I have irregular menus and don know when I'm ovulating. I tried using OPK when I estimate I shd b ovulating but it didn't and wonder if the OPK is really working. And second problem is I have a failed pregnancy before and now I am left with one tube to conceive. So I am very confuse and disappointing sometime to catch when I shd BD.

Yes, I hope tat I can conceive soon as my 1st one turning 6 very soon and I don't wan the age gap to b very far. I saw other ladies like so easily get pregnant but I am not. I went to see my gynae n she said try to conceive naturally 1st w/o gig for any test. Then go back to see her if still no news after sometime : (

Any one here has the same problem like me? Pls share, thks!
 
Hello mummies, i wish i had tried earlier like some of u plan to. But initially i didn't want children then i had one and thought thats it just one will do because my child was such a difficult baby. Now i want a second child and it's so tough to conceive, going to see a specialist soon.

Hi nana80jojoyeo,

Since you have irregular menses, it is going to be difficult. Are you interested in seeing tcm chinese physician to tiao? If so, please PM me, and I will give you the details. The one I am seeing at North Bridge Road now at least managed to increase my menses from the previous 3 days (after blighted ovum in end of August last year) to 7 days, with his powdered herbs. I told him when I went for monthly review this Wed morning. He said that it is very good.

Hi nana80jojoyeo,

Tcm seems to be effective in restoring menses back. During my recent trip in Hong Kong in end of July this year, I had a gathering session with my university classmates (we graduated 15 years ago). A few of them told me that they used to have irregular menses, AF will come every 2 to 3 months only; then they go to tcm to tiao before trying to conceive; and after tiao, they all succeeded. One even told me that she did have to go tcm to stabilize her pregnancy when conceived son nearly 2 years ago, as slow growth but got heartbeat; and she saw the tcm weekly to stabilize her pregnancy, until her waters broke in the middle of the night in week 37.
 
During my first preg i went tcm to smoothen my nauseous.
I wanna have second one hopefully is leo baby but i dare not try tooo early as i afraid to get it after a try...

Girls not sure if you believe but i am eating this supplement r2 n one of the benefit is to help people conceive. I wouldnt say i am difficult cos rigbt after we did we got it.. But both my husband and me has been eating this supplement way back then.

R2 is known to renew and recharge your body cell. And i am particular over intake supplement. I tend to look at the ingredients and make comparison. Inside r2 contains codyceps ginseng extract..red orange.. Etc
I heard r2 can help to regulate woman menses. As i have been eating abt 3 years plus and i didnt encounter any irregualr menses. Perhaps you girls wanan try out.

I also have habit to eat royal jelly daily which will bring benefit to body too.

Thanks faithmummy1706, yes it is because I want him to have a sibling that's why I am into this, so you are right I should remind myself when I feel the heartache to stop his nursing sessions. I am planning to send him off to sleep at my mum place for a few nights soon cos nipples starting to hurt, not sure how long more I can let him latch. :(
Initially I wanted to tell my mum only after 12 weeks but looks like have to do it really soon, hopefully after my first visit to gynae.

Hi nana80jojoyeo, cottonbunbun, I think going to consult a fertility specialist will help especially if your menses is irregular and you have tried for a year without success. I have friends who succeed with the help of fertility specialists. The specialists helped to diagnose the underlying problems and recommended treatments. TCM can supplement the fertility specialist efforts to strengthen your bodies.

Jiayou ladies!

Till today I tested again just to confirm again or I could say for fun.. I am in due shock..I am totally not expecting a positive for 3 x!

It's really a bliss and lucky and silly me! Haha

Can I know whether anyone went for fertility check? Do you go to your usual gynae, if not, any recommendation? Has anyone tried taking clomid?

I just started seeing dr song at Thomas fertility centre, think he is one of the most experienced and best doctors for fertility issues. Usual gynae may not be that experienced to handle since that's not their area of expertise.

Hi jog, my period is like clockwork and ultrasound shows that everything is good. Just hope that I don't have what is known as unexplained secondary infertility.

Mylittletrumpet, in my gynae's clinic there are the gynaes and one who is the fertility specialist. I believe the fertility specialist will be able to investigate better. From what I know Clomid is commonly used by gynaes and fertility specialists to induce ovulation. Because I recently told my gynae that I had been having long cycles and he said can try Clomid so that I can ovulate earlier. However I managed to get my bfp during that cycle itself so didn't return to get the Clomid.
 
Hi mummies who have been waiting for my updates, just went for my first ultrasound with gynae and he confirmed my #2 is 7 weeks along. All is fine as of now except for sore nipples and excessive gastric juices. And I am still planning a way to wean my #1 off night nursing.

I hope to hear more good news from fellow mummies in this thread soon.

Congrats Jog, that's wonderful news!
I kinda miss the feeling of being pregnant. I have been trying for 5 months, I know it's too early to seek fertility treatment but I am getting anxious and tired of trying. My used to be regular menses is now not so regular after I TTC. From the usual 28 days cycle to now between 30 to 33 days. So I thought of having preliminary checks to ascertain our condition to conceive. Nonetheless, I am still bearing hope that Lady Luck will shine on my 6th try!
