Hi curious gal and pinkie pirate,
Thanks a lot! Mi hope for my next AF soon... I have been feeling crampy since last night, mbe AF could be reporting soon. But, I also vomitted my breakfast this morning. I have been donating my meals to the toilet bowl every day this week. Think i am too generous, whahahahaha! But, really feel xin ku lo. Anyway, is a blood test necessary for mi now? I dont pin any hopes, but just want to have a peace of mind that I am normal. Dont want to be having pregnancy symptoms, when I am not preggie.

pinkie pirate, tell u a funny thing, i just do the BBT for tracking when my AF to report, cos i do not know how to read BBT, i only know my AF chun chun report 2 days later my temp drop, so i use teh BBT to track when AF report only.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
I saw may's posting that she has 30 days cycle, but she O late this month on CD21, is it mean that she will 35 days for this month cycle?? I scare if i like her O late, by covering only CD10 to CD18 is not enough..
Ofcos, May, hope ur AF not coming n keep my 14 days after O as mystry..
I am still consider to start to track O date n to know more on BBT, but scare it will bring me more stress on TTC, delimma delimma delimma..

prawnmee, dun stress... if doing tt will make u more stress for ur ttc-ing.. i rather u dun and jus BD based on the CD days calculation..
anyway the gynae tt i went to, told me tt if u do more, u haf more chances.. so instead of calculating the O days, u shld jus try more often to increase ur chances..

Prawnmee, yes definitely if your cycle is not regular, then you should BD over a longer period of time.
As for tracking O day, I guess it depends on your personality lor. For me, I find it less stressful if I know what is happening, I rather know than keep wondering and wondering when is AF due, when is O day, did I BD on the right day, etc. Also, I want to make sure that there are no health problems that can affect ttc. And most importantly I track my O day because DH and I don't BD very often, so I don't waste my chances if possible.
Actually the first cycle that I chart BBT, I was quite stressed, until my cycle ended up 45 days. haha. But after that, no probs, no stress.
If you're the type who is quite relaxed, still quite young, and can slowly try for 6 months or a year, then tracking your O day is not so important. Just relax and BD when you feel like it. Most gynaes won't tell you to track this and do that and they won't explain to you about all the details about LP and all that. That's because sometimes it can add stress and affect ttc. Most gynaes just tell you to BD more and just want you to relax and if cannot conceive within 6 months (or a year if you're young) then only they will see if there is anything you need to change or do.

hi ladies, I'm also TTC.. just started tracking BBT last month and like pinkie pirate, my cycle was extended because I think its due to stress.. as for this month, I'm at CD15.. trying to BD every alternate day since CD10 since I still not too sure how to read my BBT and my OPK is forever negative (never once that the test line is darker than control line) hence, I think I will stop trying to use OPK.. din know TTC can be so many information to learn.. hope to learn more from you ladies

During O, temp should be low. If temp is high, it means O is over...
Moon (paseo)
You can buy from me. I bought 100 OPK/ PTK ...left 80 now..just PM me.
Pinkie Pirate is correct cos my doc also asked me to try and see him half yr later if unsuccessful. So nowadays, I do charting and OPK. I am now at CD12 & has been testing using OPK twice per day, morning and night.
If I follow novakido friend's method, BD exactly on 2nd week after AF, that means we should BD on CD 15 onwards...I think I better not take any chances, maybe I can start on CD15 to increase the chances..
Seems like most of the ladies here are showered with baby dust already...so happy for all of you. I was telling this lady who did facial for me today that getting pregnant is like winning lottery cos its not so easy (especially for working ladies). Imagine we got to work, cope with the stress at work & try to get pregnant at the same time...so those working ladies who are pregnant, you guys are v v v lucky.

pinkie, thanks for sharing the info.
any recommedation which shows a more accurte results? Pregnancy strips or pregnancy kit?
For pregnancy kit, can it be reused? or 1 time use?

anyone there who are showered with baby dust but have no idea when is the exact date of the 1st day of last menses?
In this case, how does the gynae help to "predict" the due date of the baby as it may not be accurate?

the more i read the more blur i get! *faintx* anyway hubbs said once AF ends then jus keep doing... -_-" i really peifu u all being able to monitor ur cycle & ovulation so closely!
*salutes everyone*
*salutes everyone*
sparkletot,
if u have no idea when is the LMP, the gynae will estimate ur EDD according to the size of the baby. Even when u know ur LMP, ur EDD might bring forward depending on the size of baby. For my first child experience, my gal was estimated depending on size cos I can only roughly rem the range of my LMP.
Pregnancy test kit can only be used once. The strip that Pipi bought is normal strip used by doc. U will need a container to contain ur urine then dip the strip in to tets. For home pregnancy kit like clearblue, it is more easy. U can hold it and let it run under ur urine. But it is more costly.
I bought the strip from babydust.com and going to test it first. If it is positive, I will use clearblue to double confirm after 1 or 2 days.

missycandy,
Just something to share:
AF ends is still consider the "SAFE" period. U will most likely be fertile 7 days after AF ends. To increase the chance of TTC, most of us will:
1) Check Ovulation using Ovulation Test Kit (If u see two red lines means u will ovulate 24-36hrs later)
2) Take note of discharge (milky thick means u are ovulating)
3) Fertility Calculator (It tells u roughly when u are going to ovulate)
4) BBT - Body Temperature
5) Medication like Clomid (only prescibe by gynae)
I used 1-3 to TTC. Now waiting for news hoping will miss my mense this mth. I read somewhere that, to have high quality sperm, it will be advisable to BD alternate days.

missycandy,
u are welcome.
BD = Baby Dancing aka Love making.
I used Babycentre Ovulation Calculator also. Cos I kiasu. Must know ur cycle day to use this. Here's the link:
http://www.babycentre.co.uk/tools/ovu/
It tells u a rough range u are going to ovulate. I will start using the ovulation strip during that period of time till I get the 2 red line. If u are not getting the strip, during this period of time, notice ur white discharge. If it is Egg White Thick and Sticky, then u are ovulating. That's the day to BD.
But not 100% will kena lar. It increase the chance only. Hehe.. I learn from here and this mth is the 1st mth TTC. So am waiting for the news.

RE: Gastric/Preggie
I have been feeling bloatedness for 3 days. Keep farting (pardon my language) and burping. Feel like puking as if something is at the end of the throat. Now still early to tell leh.. CD28 DPO08. I dun dare to take gastric pills worry that if I am really preggie, might be harmful to the foetus. Drank ginger tea but dun help. Trying to relax and dun think about it.

4evaluv,
Yes.. same same as me CD28 and 30 days cycle..

He ask me to go back to him after I miss my mense for 1 week. I am impatient to wait till then, think I miss 2 days will go test with pregnancy kit.
Bluberi,
