(2011) TTC 2011 Mums!!!
- Thread starter lc_gal
- Start date
KWXY, you're most welcome like the rest who often drop by the thread to still share advice and give us encouragement. I can imagine how you feel now until the 1st tri is over. Take care and have plenty of rest ok?
Simplelife08, welcome to the thread. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
It must be a tough time for you then but most importantly, must tell yourself you've already walked out of that phase and should look ahead positively. Once you're comfortable, I think can start the journey again. Jiayou jiayou!
Amy, must have faith that it will come. Don't give up! I find BBT monitoring not easy. Didn't even complete 1 cycle and I've already given it a pass. Did you try the OPK method like KWXY?

Hi, I'm also in 2ww, DPO14. But can feel AF coming tomorrow already. Just now hand itchy used HPT and got BFN. Think got to try again next mth. Sian.
MiloQueen>> This cycle juz went off Yasmin, quite worried will be screwed up like the other time again - no menses for 3 mths. I tried the OPK mtd on the days I thot is fertile period, end up a few times negative and gave up. Think need to buy more OPK strips and "experiment" le. Will be taking ConceiveWell during next cycle.
Amy, would suggest that you buy more of those cheap ones and test regularly. When I first started, I tested randomly and always ended w negative. I still can rem how relieved I was the first time I hit opk positive. Really need to be patient to know your cycle well. Jiayou jiayou.
MiloQueen>> Thanx for the tips. Will be getting those cheap ones to test randomly for the next cycle. Which day did u start testing from and need to test how many times a day?
My next biggest concern is when will my AF report for this cycle... It's almost 23 days past my last AF start day and I am not sure when shd I be expecting my next AF.. Sianz..

Congrats KWXY. You really follow the "bowl" and fruit juice. Seems these 2 works, coincidence happen to 2 of my friends and you oso? Or some other MTB too? So, if you don't mind successful or not, just try, no harm as not too expensive.
I oso follow when my friends who successful in TTC told me. Actually more effective before CNY. Like this year, Feb is CNY, you can buy sometime in Oct, Nov or Dec. This symbolize the addition to family, according to old folks also.
For those who want to try, secretly go buy a bowl / plate, deep in heart, imagine bb is joining the family, and this bowl is for him/her. Don't even tell / discuss w hubby what bowl to buy. Some friends believed that telling someone will break the "magic". Just get a proper one. That time, I invested in microwavable Correlle bowl from Tangs. So, i got +ve the following month. So, seems coincidence, or seems works lo.
Be more hardworking, boost hubby with more juices, especially tomato (don't add ice). Can add with any other vege / fruits. My hubby is 42 liaw, so, tried this and seems works.
BB Dust to all of you, i just passed my 1st trimester, full 12 wks, stepping into 13th week. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Amy, don't mention. I'm kiasu and usually test quite early, from CD9 as there was once I got positive by chance on CD9 (first day I tested and hit O). I only test once a day. So long as you test at around the same time each day consistently over a period, you will probably notice the line getting darker as you draw closer to O. Even if didn't get BFP, you can check if the OPK is accurate by verifying if AF comes about 14 days later. If I get two clear lines, what I will do is to double confirm using clearblue OPK test kit (smilely face type) to be very sure prime time is here.

Thanks miloqueen for your encouragement! I finally have the courage to bd with hb 2mths after my mc. I never try opk before n will try next month. Miloqueen, just ask u one question about opk, when u test u see two lines, u will confirm with the clear blue with smiley face is it. I went to watsons to check n realize clear blue with the smiley face is expensive.

Babydreamqueen: when we buy the bowl, do u use it? Or place it somewhere else.
MiloQueen>> Guess I will take yr tips and start test from CD9. Can ask u something? If I manage to get "+" OPK, does it mean that I am "fertile"? Coz the scare by the KKH doc telling me I am not fertile is making me worried..
BabyDreamyQueen>> If wanna buy the bowl, shd not share wif HB why wanna buy izzit? Any specific kind of bowl required?
BabyDreamyQueen>> If wanna buy the bowl, shd not share wif HB why wanna buy izzit? Any specific kind of bowl required?
Simplifiedlife08, yes I only activate clearblue opk if I get two clear lines. It's expensive, use sparingly.
Amy, yes it means you'll ovulate within the next 24-48hrs according to my gynae. However, must warn you first that I do know of some who can get multiple OPK+ in a cycle. I don't think it's common though, so don't let it bother you for now.

MiracleRabbit (phylee), if you have bought oredi without explaining is ok. Even if you told him le, just believe bb will knock on your door very soon, and BD more regularly. Should hit the jackpot soon. I waited for 4 yrs. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] ganbate!
Now I try to squeeze juice 3 times a week also so that my bb wouldn't have skin problem or better immune, as I plan to send him/her to infant care after my 16 wks Maternity leave and childcare leave.
KWXY, just happy to share, coz my TTC journey isn't easy. So bumpy till I want to give up liaw, then "tio". So, very happy and careful. So, you rest well, don't worry so much.
Simplelife08, after buy the bowl, you can mix with the rest of the plates / bowls. I used the bowl to serve dishes also when I cook. You can buy what you think you need, say if you lack of plate, just get plate. My friends even get chopsticks and spoon. I get more correlle bowls at that time hoping to have twin (greedy me), but i only preg one, but still happy liaw. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif], partly also coz Tang having 20% discount in Oct for Xmas sales, so can't resist myself to get more.
Amy (jeffcraze), ya, ppl ard me tell me don't tell ppl (incl hubby) why you buy bowl (coz of the magic lar). My hubby ask me why i get extra bowls, I just answer him i get bowls nia, not LV or Gucci bags. He just grin** at me, smile and walk away. So, now, after preggy, tell him then he like... OH.. I C... ~_~
All pals here still trying, don't give up. God is preparing a good one for you... jia you!

BabyDreamyQueen, I'm so touched with your words. I'm trying for almost two years. I want to give up the whole thought but I dunno how to. I remain hopeful every month but only to go thru the whole cycle of emotions every month. Thanks so much for your encouragement. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

MiracleRabbit, I know it's not easy. We need many encouragement to face it every month esp after checking so many doctors etc, they said, EVERYTHING IS NORMAL!
Then 1 of my friends told me be PERSISTENT, God is testing us, see how strong we want to have baby. This will make us treasure more. The path will make you a stronger mummy in future. So, strive on, hang in there, I know is easy to say than done, esp we as women, hormone play a major part, blame everyone else even sky and God, why me why me... and why not me and why not me, all these will pass... just be persistent, manage your physical health, mental health and exercise a bit (like walk to nearby shopping centers in case of taking LRT/MRT, eg 15 mins a day) is also good. So, try it, you will see the miracle. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Good luck and bbdust to you all....

redgin,
If you want to ttc hor normally you need to stable down at the new job for 6 mths or after your probation over if not the company got the right to ask you to leave if you manage to conceive successfully.
Tats wat happen to 1 of my fren, she join the company in 1 2 mths pregnant than the management so angry they say they feel deceive by my fren lor than ask her leave immediate lor.
So my advice is if you plan change job you got to drag your ttc plan to few more mths later at least until your probation over.

that's why i'm in a fix. on one hand, i got something nearer to home so i can get home to my girl faster, on the other hand, i still want to ttc and if i accept this, i will have to postpone a while my ttc. so really don't know what to do... sigh... anyway, thanks ladies. i told the hr person i will get back to him tomorrow, so i have to go crack my head tonight.

Hi, can i check with you mummies,
I am also ttc coming 5 months. Not very active these days as v xian, alwasy negative. same like u girls, also planning a bb rabbit girl, but looks like it will be a dragon girl as i am too late.
I decide to change gyne to Dr Benjamin Tham as was recommended that he is a good gyne, any comments on him. i was previosuly from dr lim teck chai but cos he is quite rushed and i dont feel the consults detaileed enough hence decide this change
He advise me to get a ovulation kit and also preseed pubicant to help. where can i order all these. i am nt very sure. also how to use and how this helps expediate my 2nd pregancy?
appreciate your advise.
And i am looking after my no1 full time with a maid. sometimes get so bored but no choice as cant leave maid with boy alone. dont feel safe
thanks!

i ordered my preseed and ovulation strips from this website. http://babydustshop.blogspot.com
ovulation kits is to help deduce when is your ovulation date and if get positive must bd bd bd. and preseed is a form of lubricant which is sperm friendly, to aid in ttc.
