Anyone tried acupuncture before?
I used to have a colleague who tried conceiving for about 10yrs to no avail. Someone recommended her malay womb massage and she started on a regular basis and got pregnant after 6mths ..
Apology, i was 17yr old then and this wasnt a topic i was intrested in so i didnt ask much. But i reckon those malay massage lady who does pre and post natal massage all concerntrate on the womb. I had a miscarriage between my #1 & #2 and gynae said perhaps my womb was still quite weak. I did some massage after thatwhere can I find this Malay womb massage lady?

Hi hi Star.Star, we are the same age
....加油! have u done all the necessary fertility check incldg hb sperm analysis? These are also impt...gynea will help to 想办法。。。
agreed .. the most important thing is relax ...Check your ovulation period and plan for a short getaway to relax. I believe this helps as most of my friends concieved after they were back from their trip. Same for me for #1 & current. As for my #2, concieved during cny period whr i cleared my year end leave and didnt have to think about work
Hi can u advise more on the vitamins and diet change pls? And where to do pre natal yoga and Pilates? But the yoga is done after pregnancy? I m inspired and 40 this yr. Thanks!I would like to add that I did keep an open mind about getting pregnant (before I was rather upset every month when I see my menses). In Dec last year I told hubby that I will just let nature takes its own course. So I try to do everything I can to increase our chance of conceiving naturally..Besides accupunture and TCM, I started taking several types of vitamins to boost quality eggs, completely changed my diet and started pre-natal yoga and pilates for 3 months. It is a long list of foods and supplements that I take and friends thought I have gone overboard with my diet plan in order to get preggy haha! And I thought, even if I didn't get pregnant in the end, I am still leading a healthier lifestyle with diet change and exercise . However, we did receive a pleasant surprise as I got my first BFP in Feb this year

As a matter of fact, besides being relaxed with my short getaway and leave break, i started yoga, i get the hang of it. I am one who hardly excercise hehe... all 3 pregnancies came by the same lifestyle pattern- relax + yoga. My sis teased me that after when #3 is popped, i should never start my yoga againI would like to add that I did keep an open mind about getting pregnant (before I was rather upset every month when I see my menses).

Hi tryingtoconceive2014, i go to fitness first as well...but i did mostly pump, combat, rpm and body balance class...perhaps i shld go try the restorative yoga that you mention
feel so encouraging that there are still mummies wannabes around my age..
@star.star, hi i tried a malay massage lady after my mc, and i personally find her not bad. if you interested to get contact, can pm me.
i used to do some yoga too, now looking into pilates, wondering if i should take up, but prices seem quite ex.
yah, would also like to know on pre-natal classes options too...do share!
i am already back to my tcm regime, getting ready for the next shot!
Hi tryingtoconceive2014, I am sure u will be preggy again in no time....加油! Am now thinking if I shld go straight to ivf come jan 2016...but i read that the chances are lower than trying naturally...in a dilemma...afraid that the ivf medication may mess up my body as well...Hi kwp,
As I just had one loss previously in mid-June, my gynae told me to resume yoga again in mid-September, which I am really looking forward to. I usually go to the Tue 10:00 a.m. class in Tampines (CPF building), Wed lunch hour class in One Raffles Quay (thinking to switch to the Tampines one for Wed) and Sat 4:45 p.m. one in One George Street (the instructor is Paul).
I did try body balance class in Paragon, but found that while ttc, the abs exercise may not be suitable for us.
Hi tryingtoconceive2014, i am waiting for hubby semen test result and I am also recovering from Myomectomy. Seeing my gynae in Oct...he mention we can try naturally for a few months first after Dec this yr.Hi kwp,
Did your gynae say that IVF is your only option? Did you have difficulty trying to conceive naturally previously? I think you can book for the IVF for Jan 2016; but in the meanwhile, try the natural way. You never know, may have a bfp surprise.

Thank you for your encouragement , i had 2 big fibroids (7cm and 8cm) removed.Hi kwp,
I see. So you had the surgery to remove the fibroids? That is good, as otherwise it will grow together with the baby inside your tummy when you get your bfp next time.
I see. Good luck on trying naturally, and lots of baby dust to you.
The test was done in Gleneagles Hospital lab...i am seeing my gynae here...is there anything we shld take note abt Sincere lab?Hi kwp,
Did your hubby have his semen test done by Sincere lab too?
Hi Tartine, cld u share which TCM did u go to for acupuncture? Thks.
Hi can u advise more on the vitamins and diet change pls? And where to do pre natal yoga and Pilates? But the yoga is done after pregnancy? I m inspired and 40 this yr. Thanks!
Hi Tartine
Thanks for sharing. I'm trying to change to a better diet too. Do you take fruits? Any good fruits to recommend? Can share with us more about pre natal yoga or Pilate ?
Dear Tartine, thank you for sharing. This is so helpful. Can you share the Amerzon link with us? I would like to buy and start with that as soon as I can.Hi wonderfulijoy and shuqin,
I am trying to compile the list of vitamins, foods and fruits I took before I managed to conceive naturally so that I can share with everyone!
Off hand, I take fruits like organic kiwi, organic apples, avocados, and at times mangoes and pineapples. I take 3 - 4 types of fruits daily. I took nuts like almond, walnut, brazilian nuts, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds daily too. These nuts and seeds are good source of nutrients. I took 2 hard-boiled eggs daily too.
For pre-natal yoga and pilates, I bought the DVDs from Amazon and do them at home for about 30 mins a day.
For vitamins, I took folic acid, fish oil, Ubiquinol, Multi-vitamin, Vitamin D.... and several other ones that I need to go back and find out the names haha..I took 8-10 types of vitamins in a day to boost egg quality and my health.
Importanly, I cut down on processed foods, fried foods, no fast foods, no tea, no coffee, so sugary stuff. I try to go as natural as possible, foods I ate are mostly steamed.
Once i compiled the list, I will share with everyone
no idea ... cant access the webpage ..Waa... how she did i inspiring... is it ivf? Thx!
