TTC - Trying to Conceive 2017

i got low end test strips almost same as yours but mine has to be darker or same intensity as the control line in order for it to be positive.
Not sure is it chemical pregnancy or what.. cos i got a faint line before and its really positive so I thought this one is also considered bfp

It can be pms it can be pregnant.
But when I was pregnant with my Son, I remember going to toilet more for vomit than for urine lol.
And also at times stuck in toilet due to constipation that time lol
Super irritating lor..the frequent urination.. i didnt vomit for both pregnancies... feel nausea when preggy with #2 but didnt vomit... but constipation yes...haha
 
Hello, just wanna check if anyone has similar case below. My last menses was on 10 Jun but due to pcos I have never had regular af. Then I bled on 24 jul, thinking that it was period but it probably bleed for 5 hours (small flow) then it stopped till now. I visited the doc to check it out. Doc pointed out there is no shadow in my uterus and I should stop taking clomid (start day 2 of menses) until I get a 'real' period. If I still don't get it by next week, I would have to test again for pregnancy. (I test on 23/7 and 19/7, both are bfn)


Prior to this I've taking induction of menses pill for 4 days. I don't feel cramp like normal period though and not sure what to do next except for waiting.

now i am not looking for pms symptoms. because i remember the feeling when i was pregnant with no1 (yes i know how can i still remember?)
its like warm fuzzy feeling in my tummy. feel very tired. and definitely the breast tenderness. putting on bras was a struggle because even n accidental brush feels so sore and it was annoying. these r the feelings i am looking for.

for me pms and preggy symptoms are way too similar until I can't differentiate..so it's very irritating....keep yawning today also..super tired...

sorry i could not help you on this. but if there is bleeding and it has been bfn, i would say it's not optimistic.
could you share which doctor are you seeing for these ?

Really envy those that can get preggy easily...like my colleague, she is preggy with #3 then she say she don't want lor..she intend to stop at 2... she took pills and still preggy o_O..... and here we are trying so hard..haiz...
 
I went to look for Dr goh at thomson plaza. But is already seeing kkh doc from start of this year. No prob! Thanks for replying tho. Shall see if menses come soon so I can start on a fresh cycle :D stay positive everyone!!

my colleague is like very pro...she said things like, "did you bd more frequently or not." and all sort of "advises".
and another one...everytime i say i no appetite etc (mostly due to pms), she is like an alarm, "oh she pregnant"
zzzzzzz~~

Yes I went there fertility check via poly clinic referral but feel like the change of doc for every visit is quite irritating. And they are like looking at my case like I'm a normal person when I already told them I have pcos. So it's like... Now I'm thinking of switching to Dr goh again but have to think financially if I can cope.
 
Hello hibun! Can check what kind of red bean did you drink? I saw there are like two types. One bigger in size.
I bought mine from NTUC,nt v sure if its the big or small one. I think its 'Pasar' brand. I cooked it in slow cooker for abt 3hrs and took it aftet that. Sometimes i use that to replace my dinner.

i am surprised. because i joined a support group and many of them have done or are currently doing ivf with kkh. but how long have u been with kkh?

It's like they asked me to try clomid and tested blood on day 21. But I asked my own gynae, he say it's really not effective to do that because my ovulation should be delayed. But kkh told me to increase my dosage based on that result. I'm expecting if I finish my third cycle without pregnancy, they might recommend me for ivf. It's about 6 months now.

may i know if u are in your early 30s ? because if early 30s, they will help u try naturally first. i didnt know Dr Goh helps in fertility issues too. because as far as i know he is a gynae, which is actually different from fertility specialist. but no worries u can approach any doctor that u r comfortable with.

I'm in my late twenties now. But the more i read in forum, some mummy to be tried for so long esp with the same diagnosis. I got a little scared that the longer I drag, the harder it gets. He did manage to guide me on how to monitor ovulation etc and I did a jab I think late last year or so to ovulate. But that time I wasn't thinking too much cos I was coping with work and didn't want to stress myself further.

Probably he 'handdelivered' me hence I trust him more than any other. Plus my mum was also ttc for a while naturally and approached hin in the end too.

yes you are right. it's never too early for ivf.
but it's the same with many specialist / doctors. the younger you are, they will sort of like "study" you by requesting u to try naturally first. if you are concerned, go ahead and request for ivf in your next visit. ;)

Yup never too early but I wanna try for natural as much as I can and moreover ivf is' foreign' things into the body. How about u? How long have u ttc?

silly questions, what does red date longan tea do and how does it help w TTC? I had it after miscarriage only. Can u add ginger to it?

What abt ba zhen? how do u drink it, and what is it for?
Any specific time to drink ?

I'm guessing to bring body temp up. My LP temp is not very high 36.3/4 average and also want to reduce estrogen. Also super painful menses last AF that lasted few more days than usual.

red date longan, ginger, ba zhen, all for after menses.
because if u drink them during menses, u might lose a lot of blood during your period.

red date longan tea is heaty.
u might want to separate ginger from it.
for example red date longan tea 1 day.
ginger drink the next day.
they both help to warm up the body.

for bazhen, it's usually boiled over slow cooker and then you can just drink it.

did you see doc for your painful menses? do you often have painful menses ?

Sorry noob question... LP temp have to be high? I used ear thermometer measure, mine can go up as high as 37.5.. then lowest is 37.2.. but now about 3days to af I stop monitoring..

Bazhen is very good for women, can maintain youth also... drink after menses and it's also quite heaty..
 
oh ok.. I am still yawning everyday..so sick of this tiredness
i am tired too.
not sure if it's because i like to sleep late
or because of pms
i feel nausea too...feeling miserable...
i get bad pms symptoms in case of nausea.

ahh ... my youth is over >.<

what ratio of red date to longan? I have longan meat that is almost black and also the usual brown dried longan.

red date longan, ginger, ba zhen, all for after menses.

Thanks for the tips.
Ya I did. Always painful first 2 days, but felt the cramps till 4th day this time. Painful since young.
could be endometriosis, but all my previous ultrasounds they never found anything.

I did hormone test recently, progesterone is ok but estrogen is high. Estrogen dominance causes fibroids which i have.

Hi, have u tried taking EPO 1000mg per day? i started taking it few mths ago, & it helps reduce the cramp. U may wan try it :)

As for red dates & longan tea, taking it is said to increase iron in the blood, & also to have better sleep. I also tried it & found can sleep better :) Usually i boil around 10 dates + 2 longan on alternate days, don't take if feel heaty.
 


Found out recently i have retroverted (tilted) uterus. Hmm, does it affect fertility? Any tips?
