Hi everyone, im new here. Been reading the thread for some time but I finally decided to get an account and share my experiences also.
Ive been married for almost 4 years and started to try for a baby only end last year.
My period has always been irregular, like 1.5-2.5 months once that type. So im worried that I may not even been ovulating. I started taking Bai Feng Wang since April but no difference leh (except some clogged pores haha). And because my period is so late, i keep thinking and hoping that im pregnant and every time i see the negative result, its so heart breaking. About 3 weeks ago i decided to go for the TCM route. After some research i decided to try dr Zhong Xi Meng from Eu Yang San at paragon. very expensive! She seems nice and kept telling my husband and I not to worry. She gave us some powdered herbs to take 2 a day each but we ended up taking it once a day only.
For me, i noticed that i am a bit healthier in a way. I used to be very constipated but but now everything seems to be running smoothly. My husband also noticed a higher sex drive.
I tried the BBt method but gosh, i keep forgetting to take my temperature when i wake up. By the time i remember im already brushing my teeth
I noticed some stringy mucus for a few days and watery for 2 days but when i used ovulation kit, it was always negative. So disheartening.
Anyway i just thought i'd share my experience with everyone and maybe those who are considering TCM.
Oh, and Dr Zhong mentioned that its better to have intercourse every other day during ovulation as compared to every day as the quality of the sperm may not be there. A friend gynae also mentioned that the guy should stay inside till flaccid and not come out straight away. Hope this helps.
Thanks for listening!
PS: my ovulation kit from caurosell, comes in a pack,in the end one piece is about 30-50 cents. Dont buy the ones from watsons. so expensive.
