Trying to conceive for a 2016 Baby

ImageUploadedByForum1448776152.322778.jpg


Good day all!

I have been ttc for maybe a year I think? Lost count as every month seems like a project to making it happen...

So after much negative results I've decided maybe an ovulation kit might help...

This is my first time trying the ovulation kit.

Do you know if the pic show the OK to dtd? I'm confused coz I thought one line should be darker or lighter...

Does any of you have experience with this? :)

I've never used this opk (only used before clearblue digital opk or cheapo opk). My cheapo ones the control lines are very dark. When the test line gets as dark as the control line, yes I will start to dtds. I presume the light test line of your clearblue opk is normal? Since both lines are same intensity, I guess you should ovulate within 36hrs plus minus so please get to work now :p
 
Morning Ladies,

Would like to check if HSG test under government subsidize ?

I'm also hoping for 2016 Baby as failed to have a 2015 baby .

Trying for more than a year already but no good news till now. Sigh ...

I see I see! :) i thought one needs to be darker that's why I ask. Lol. I dtd anyway just in case it really is the time!! ☺️☺️☺️☺️

*fingers crossed* really hopeful it works out... Haha.
 
Ladies.. Not sure if any of you has done any research.. Does the amount of menses flow matters?
i have a fellow ttc friend who asked about this before. her gynae says the flow does not really matter but it does decrease with age.

i think it would be better you ask a specialist.

for chinese medicine point of view, it better be flowing for 5 days and 1st few days should be heavy. because there is worry of menses not cleared properly out of your body.
 
I just came back from KKH and doc did a blood test and body check on me. Next appt is for a HSG scan after my menses. Is it better to go to a gynae in private practice? Private gynae is faster and cost-wise it seems around the same? I have not been to my gynae for 5 yrs and I wonder whether it costs around the same for a check?

Hi Wateraine,

Are you on private or subsidised rates with KKH?

You may want to go ahead with the HSG scan at KKH and most likely you will know on the spot whether your tubes have any blockage.

Thanks jayjayqueenie.... My flow this month is very very little.... So I'm worried..
 
Ladies..I started to take my body temperature 2 days ago.. may I know how do I analyse it then I know it's the right time ..
Hi. To understand how bbt charting works, you may check out some sites (Just google and you'll get tons) that explain how our body temperature fluctuates according to different hormones throughout our cycle. With the understanding of this basics, I think you'll get the hang of it much better.

Generally you'll need about 3 months of charting before you can predict ovulation arrival. Just 2 days of absolute readings can't analyze anything.

My fav is fertilityfriend.com. I used to chart from there (the phone app). It has a lot of things to read there too. Maybe you can start from there.

Hi I tried the app but it doesn't tell anything unless I sign up the VIP package
 
Hi,

I'm planning to go for IVF in 2016. My age is 28 & my husband's age is 36. My husband's sperm count is low. Can anyone guide me about best hospital & best doctor for ICSI?
 
anyone knows any supplement for guys that is not so heaty? i got mega men for my hubby and he complain it is heaty.

My gynae only gave my hubby co-enzyme Q10 and multi-vitamins.

BBT charting only tells you if ovulation happened, if you use that as a gauge to bd then it would be too late. Agree with redvel, read up more!
I'm also with fertilityfriend, paid for it haha cause desperate :p
 
Forgot to mention, it seems that we missed the eggie this month, cause from the chart ovulation happened earlier. If that is true that it's devastating because the side effects from clomid were of higher intensity this month, I even fell sick. Can't imagine I suffered for nothing?
 
Hi for those who are trying to conceive, I have just returned 30 eggs each to Zhu sheng niang niang at Yu Huang Dian temple at Zion road and Cheng Huang Miao temple at Toa Payoh. Pls collect the baby dust if you wish. Good luck!!
 
it is almost the same story like past few cycles. except my husband is slightly sick (slight flu) this time.

this is my fertile week. so got to work hard to bd a few times. hb claim that after bd, he got headache. as if he become more heaty. anyone got the same problem?

what should we do?
 
I remember my hubby used to "complain" of headache too when we overly-bd during fertile weeks by counting the dates. I think ttc can take a toll on the men too.

In the end we decided not to stress each other out and only bd when we feel like it; and not looking at calendar.
 
Hi all
i have purchased my first ovulation kit but yet to try cos still in snail mail. :p
my menses cycle has changed.. from 31 days pre preg, then after delivery back to 31 days until recently it became 25 days. Gynae said cos i am 35 yo and many changes in the body.. just after i thot i can start trying for 2nd one.. the cycle changed to 35 days!
is this normal?
 
I'm 15dpo today and have been having dizziness and very bloated too. Fuller boobs too. Not sure if I'll get it this time! Anyone had such symptoms too? Or it is just af coming?

Helloooooooo!

Hmm I'm thinking of mid next week if AF is still not here. I'm just 2 days late. So I guess it's still early? Really hope I get it this time. I used the opk for this round Haha. First time!

I have never had AF pains before. But my friends told me it's unbearable sometimes and some of them needs meds to last the day. :$

Hope u feel better soon!

Hi Fel C,

It will not be my first baby, but I am hoping that it will be my first live pregnancy, meaning carrying baby to full term.

How long have you been trying for a baby?

If more than 1 year, and you are under 35, you may want to consult a fertility specialist. If it is confirmed that there is nothing wrong with both yourself and your husband, you may want to buy ovulation test kit, to know roughly when you ovulate, so as to time the fertility timing more accurately.
Hi I now have tried for the 6 month. still no good news yet. quite demoralized already. i thought this month will have good news as my period was late for 2 days but AF come
 
Shirley84ger,

I guess you are born in year 84? If that's the case, me too :)
Have been trying actively since late last year, but when no positive results and that was why I visited KKH mid this year.
I took HSG, Ultrasound & Blood tests and my husband took the Semen Analysis under Prof John Tee whom referred us to Dr Sadhana.

The reports were out and Dr Sadhana told us that our results are 'good'...

A few weeks later, I visited Prof John Tee as my period is late for 3 weeks with Negative HPT.
It was then, he told me it is impossible I am pregnant at that time but he did an Ultrasound to ease my mind.
The reasons why he was so sure that I am not pregnant is that based on the test reports I did with Dr Sadhana:
1) I am not ovulating,
2) My husband's sperm morphology is 1%, which means only 1% of his sperms are 'normal' shape

We were shocked upon hearing that, as Dr Sadhana DID NOT mention that to us and I thought it is her responsibility to tell us??


When I told him that Dr Sadhana did not mention it to us, and he waived my consultation & U/S fees that day. (This meant something fishy right?)
Also, we did not want to pursue this matter and hence we stopped visiting KKH.


Remarks: KKH will not provide us with the physical test reports, therefore I purchased the reports after the visit at $10.70 and
visited another private gynae at Mount E Novena for 2nd opinion.

This is my first post that sharing about my experience as I did not want to pursue this matter, but it was after reading what Charnel wrote then I
decided to share about my experience with Dr Sadhana.

PS: Prof John Tee is a good gynae with lots of experiences, I knew this as he is my sister's gyna. She had mid-term termination of pregnancy due to Chromosome abnormality early this year.


Cheers, Melissa.
Hi Northern lights

any subsidy for the checkup?
 
Hi all.

Can I check if 5 weeks is too early to detect anything during scan?

Doc say saw waterbag but cannot see anything else and ask me to go back next week...he can't confirm my pregnancy now.

This is my first pregnancy..

Congrats and he is right. My 5week could only spot a sac and nothing else. He also commented "maybe this is the one". One week later could see everything clearly. A week to a developing embryo is a big milestone. Rest well now.

Hi!! I test after 2 days late and got my BFP as I experience extreme fatigue which I never encounter before. So got a feeling to test even is late for 2days.

Good Luck to you!!

Congrats Missyjay! Rest well now :) throw us some baby dust please!

By the way, we've been trying for 1 year now, and it's really sad that I don't have good news this Christmas. Oh well. And so I am already starting to dread CNY!

Thanks babylovin!

I tried for a year I think and finally decided to use the clearblue opk! Once and it worked... Maybe u can try too.. Hehe. ☺️
 
Anyone tried or consider tcm??
My MIL brought me to tcm and I have been drinking the tcm thing she boiled twice to thrice weekly for maybe 3 months. It was for my platelet problem. But she mentioned that it also helps to tiao the body. My platelet problem improved. And i got pregnant. So I'm not sure if it helps but worth a try. Slow process but I think it helps? No harm to try. Also can improve health anyway!
