The worst was when I just had my first mc a few years back, one of my best friend told me she is going for a 3rd abortion. I nearly burst out crying in front of her.

hey gal, u can google this. I cant rem the address. Ban choon chan - TCM name.

I wanted to go there for 6 mths, and then just keep postponing until I gave up! lol. coz they say super long queue. but after my friends hubby went, his sperm count from bad become normal after listening to his instructions and brewing the medication. so amazing. and the tcm was the one who told him to do a sperm analysis. so he went to dr loh there and do. then I don't rem after how many mths, he test again and dr loh was also surprised told him that it has improved significantly and no need to do anything abt it anymore.

I went there before.. Be prepared to queue.. I always spend 3 to 4 hours there on weekends.. Very nice and chatty uncle..

I believe you must be at the verge of strangling her.. Really sad that people have it, but choose to give up.. People who are yearning for it just doesn't get it..

I think I'll need to take leave to go and see him if i really want. Will rather go during weekday cos waiting time should be better than weekends. I also dunno how to get there. I can drive but I'm still not too familiar with driving to unfamiliar places though I can use GPS.. Heheh.. Need to make appointment or jus go and queue up?

Your friend?? So cruel ... And very sad to hear that due to pp's selfishness, they actually do it not jus once but 3x :(

Ya one my close gal friend. During my first mc I couldn't cope very well. Of cox I'm as sad as all mc but it was just bad. When she told me I went home and cry. I tried to ask her to keep it. But it's ultimately her decision. Now she is living happily with her boy. Very cute. :)

I did. but hub not very willing. he has worries that eventually the kid will be affected that we are not the real parents.

True. Not sure how the affection towards the kids= will be different too

Do you personally know anyone who was adopted? I have a close friend... who had 2 kids (boys) then adopted the 3rd (girl)... they're an extremely happy and loving family with no repercussions of the girl being an adopted child... in fact, she might have a more blessed life than many other kids around!
 
so long never visit here due to the migration of the forum.... see many unfamiliar nicknames... I guess those that I spoken to previously have all graduated from this thread to MTB.
 
My period has been late for 10 days. Tested 3 times and all came with a negative result. :(
Just a short background of myself. I am 31 YR old and have tried for 3-4 years with 3 MCs. Both hubby and I have been 'tested' healthy and normal. Have tried clomid for more than 6 months last year and have not been taking any medication for also ard 6 months till now. My gynae suggest us to try IUI but my hubby seems relunctant.

I am thinking of going to my gynae for a scan to see what happen to my period. But at the same time, I am so scare to hear 'the linning is thick and your menses should be here within this few days'... sianz...o_O

wow then this gal is really lucky. better than many others. I don't have close friends who adopted, coz all of them are popping like nobody's business. but my friends sister adopted a boy. this boy also lucky, parents are VERY VERY RICH. husband and wife both drive benz and, the lady gave up her job just to stay at home and take care of this adopted boy. very devoted couple.
 
Hi ladies,
So many posts today...

Wana check with you gals here.

Say you are TTCing now but you are facing great difficulties in your work.
Will you leave and look for a new job or you will stay until you get preg then leave after ML?

If the work stress is hindering the TTC process, then I will leave and look for a new job immediately.

But if the TTC is successful, then probably wait a little while longer coz if find a new job while preggie, can only work a couple of months then will be on ML... not many companies like that
 
The worry that I have now is what if I get preg while on probation?

Or worse, while serving notice, before starting on the new job.

My collg's sis actually got preg while on probation and when the firm found out, they told her to leave upon completion of her probation, on the excuse that she wasn't up to their expectations.

ya so when I was changing job, I didn't ttc. I actually put ttc on hold, even though tat time my new firm knows that im doing family planning. the best is if u can stay in current job, finish ur maternity leave then go. that u can all ur bonuses and full benefits. but if really affecting u, then u can consider changing job.

Hi ladies, is this considered positive or negative for the ovulation strip? I always have problem reading ovulation test strip .. Since my hubby suggested to TTC only in April for me to rest and tiao yang my body in the meantime, I decided to use these 3 months to track my ovulation using bbt and ovulation test strip. Yesterday is CD7 and my menses jus completely cleared up. Yesterday I itchy hand , use a digital ovulation test kit to test cos I have a few leftover. Yesterday got an empty circle (low fertility) which is what is I expected since I jus finished my menses. My bbt was 36.32. Today at CD 8, I tested the digital ovulation test kit using the first morning urine and got a smiley face (peak fertility) to my surprise cos I never imagine to be that early. My bbt this morning wAs 36.57. Later in the morning, I use an ovulation test strip and saw a line at the test line portion. But I always have problem reading the test strip.. Dunno is it consider faint positive or negative. I've taken a snapshot here.. What do u ladies think? I didn't use the first morning urine for the test strip though. I didn't think LH surge will be that early.. But I think it is good for me to know my body better .. View attachment 178628

Hi angel_mommy, you should try using clear blue digital ovulation kit. It's more accurate to test for the LH surge.
