Thanks everyone! I’ve reached out to a nanny recommended by a friend. Hope she will be a good match for us. How many days of confinement are you all doing? Usually is 28 days right? Some mums do 40 days? How many days can we do? Anyone considering going to those stay-in confinement centres...

Better late than regret not trying at all. Lol!!

thanks! I’m a FTM so I dont even know what to look out for in a confinement nanny or what to ask. I only know I need to start n book one asap. Lol.

Hi all, when should we start to find confinement nanny? Thanks!

I never think so much. I had a miscarriage before this one so all I think n hope now is that this one will be sound n safe in my tummy. I will just do whatever tests I need to do.

Can share which gynae you all go to? I’m considering Dr Tony Tan at Mt A as he specialises in high risk pregnancy. Our age would be considered high risk right?

Hi everyone, is this your 1st child? It's my 1st and i'm 42

Hi all, I just did my IVF overseas and will go for egg transfer in another 1-2 months. If successfully, I will need to look for a gynae in Singapore. Any recommendations? I heard some gynae would not take in patients who did not do IVF with them. Is this true? Thank you.

I do have blood clots and never thought that this is a problem. In trying all ways to get pregnant, I even seek divine help by visiting temple medium regularly starting several months back and was told my blood clots is an obstacle to getting pregnant. Now this NTU TCM website says blood clots...

Don't need it anymore. Thanks so much!

Yes my friend also always yield very few eggs for her IVF, like each time only 4 or 5 eggs. Among this, a few are of low quality. So in the end always fail.

Capricorn Girl, congrats on your pregnancy! Can share if you gotten pregnant naturally? And how did you managed your progesterone level? Did your gynae prescribed medicine for you? Thanks.

I have a friend who had several failed IUIs and IVFs (at different hospitals) and was recently found to have low ovarian reserve. She has just started to see a TCM doctor at NTU. Egg donation is also among her consideration. As she is a foreigner, she may go back to her country to find a donor...

cahyasuci, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. With the frequent failures, could it be an issue of egg quality? Have you asked your doctor about it? I have intention to sign up for the IVF embryo screening trial. Registration is starting in Feb 2017. The woman must either be above 35 years...

hi cahyasuci Letrozole is prescribed by my doctor. Don't think you can get it without prescription. In western medicine, if ovulation pills does not work for you, the next step would be IUI/IVF.

I think it is normal - they are just the way they are. I've taken Rainbow prenatal before and still have them. All the pills have black spots on them. Now taking another brand and they also have black spots.

Hi Dolly Gonzalez, how does a menstrual cup help in conceiving or easing PCOS? Isn't that just a tool inserted into your vagina (instead of sanitary pad or tampon) to hold menstrual blood? I'm baffled.
