[ttcingmrschoo]

Caca,

Er...TCM is like tat 1 pah, ha ha. Be brave for your bb.

I dunno abt what Dr Tan will give u but I need to take med almost everyday after each visit (pill be O & those powder form after O) & need get poke juz b4 O too

Visit once per week

 

[hope42008]

Hi All,

I strongly encourage that you go with your DH. It definitely helps Dr Tan to 对症下药. Cos you never know, it may be the guy who has problem.

I went with wife for all visits and both of us did accupunture on 1st visit.

The chinese medicines are all in crystal forms. No need brew. Just add water and Viola! But, please prepared to drink "15 in 1" (i.e. 15 small packs into 1 cup) hor.

 

[saro]

waaa... hopeTBF....

15 in 1 .. no joke man... i am no fan of Chinese med... oh dear.. its gg to be tough.. but i think my DH shd be accompanying me la, he is ok one..

but hor.. acupunture ah... i think both of us will jump... keke...

==== hope AF dun come !!!! ===

Is Zinc complex n Vitamin B really good for DH ?
cos i gg to buy folic acid later so tot at the same time buy for DH also...

What's the recommended dosage for folic acid , btw ?

Thanks ya

 

[hamasaki]

saro, i took 5mg of folic acid every morning during ttc n preg. can get at pharmacy or gps

 

[saro]

saki, 5mg is 500mcg ?

Means if each tablet is 200mcg, i can take 2-3tabs a day ?

Thanks

 

[hamasaki]

juz pop one 5mg of folic acid everyday will do.
normally most docs will prescribe this amount, thou some others might prescribe more.

 

[hope42008]

hmm...i only take vit E leh.

Dr Tan also prescribes "Sheng Jin Wan" for me. Have to take twice a day, 8 pills each time.

 

[saro]

ok, i will look for folic acid of this dosage in 1 tablet...

Thanks

cos previously, i believe each tablet is either 2mg or 4mg...

 

[saro]

Hope TBF, Vitamin E ah... hmmm... i read from the flowerpod thread u posted just now that its good for guys to take zinc complex n vit b so i asked.. hehe

[thenun]

nova & saro - i just checked my EYS packet of barley... it's called "raw & cooked china barley" and it's $2.65 for a big packet. If you can't find it let me know lah... can buy for u n bring to the gathering... oh yeah, sorlee nova... if u really want i can mail to u lah!

 

[saro]

hi thenun

THANK U ! *hugz*

i actually went to EYS to buy just now.. Once again based on the barley+duno wat to tell the lady there n say its UTI.. she asked me in Chinese but i duno.... haha... so she said is to clear the "niao guan" so i guess shd be correct n since $2.65, even salah also can boil n drink ma... so i bought n boil 1/2 of it le... now share with DH.. hehe... n then i also went to unity to buy folic acid ... 5mg per pill !! 100 tabs, 2plus only wor ! woohoo... i shd be in good condition to ttc again !! keke

 

[thenun]

hey saro, did the salesgirl give u instructions how to boil? cannot boil too long hor, abt 15-20 mins and at low low fire... boil too long will backfire n become heaty!

my aunty colleagues teach me one.. hee hee

 

[butterkiss]

Eh... what's UTI??

 

[saro]

thenun..

alamak... i think i boil over 20mins leh... cham liao la....how how ?

butter, UTI is urinary tract infection....

 

[butterkiss]

saro, thanks...

And, I think you posted something like you will wash up after BD. Hmm.... I read somewhere that it's better not to... Coz due to gravity, sperms might come downwards and get washed away. Better to lie down with a pillow at hip area so as to air the sperms to "flow down".

 

[piyobaby]

saro...the folic acid u bot at unity is cheap man....i bot 50 tabs for 2.75 @ watson....dbl the price of urs....terrible lei...

 

[saro]

butter, yeah i asked that...

ya lor, i tot also better not to wash after bd in case wash away the sperms... but then again nv wash scared kena UTI.. alamak... very cham...

piyo
yeah i didnt know so cheap.. very affordable !! cos the folic i taking now is passed down by my fren, i think is abt 8 per btl of 100tabs.. which i tot affordable la, then duno read where that cheapest is at unity and when asked if there is any diff bet brands of folic, apparently is no.. so buy from unity lor !! keke 100 tabs can eat for 100 days wor ! i also bought the Obimin, also suppose to be good.. i haven take yet, buy first then i check if its ok to take during ttc or not.. keke

 

[saro]

alamak, obimin seems to be more for preggie woman... hmmmmm... so must wait until strike then can take le....

 

[butterkiss]

saro, then maybe u can lift up ur hip and wait for 30 mins before washing. I read this from the website too... hee hee...

Nova recommend me to get the folic acid from this shopping mall inside the airbase. I paid USD4 for 60 tablets. I thought very cheap liao... never think that still got cheaper ones!

 

[saro]

butter, lift up 30mins ah... by the time sleepy n lazy liao still need to wash up ? muahahaha

I can send u some unity folic !! hehe

Let me know if u need ya

butter, we need wait 1 more week... but i having PMS symtoms... sigh....

 

[butterkiss]

oh... wat's ur PMS symptoms???

 

[storeberry]

Hi caca, no probs, can try again next mth, jia you!!

Just saw gynae tonight, blood clots is still there... Haiz....

So fustrating! When I told him today still bleed brown blood, he asked me if I am working. Told him yes & immediately he said, cannot work for the rest of the week. Rest at home, rest & watch TV! I really really hope that the blood clots will disappear! So sianz!

 

[lovelove]

Hi any ladies gt pregnant during house renovation?
I thought of ttcing but will be getting my new hse keys soon, nw staying with my in-laws...isit advisable?

 

[butterkiss]

lovelove,
that time my SIL was pregnant and my brother decided to renovate their house (to welcome the 2nd baby). They shifted out to a hotel. Just making sure that my SIL was not involve with the renovation.

 

[princessj]

Thank u ylang_ylang again! U r right! The spotting was only for 2 days, so i guess that 2 days was fertile period?

Congrats to Hope dad to be, u r so sweet to be reading up all these women talk. U must be a very good hubby and daddy to be. All the best!

 

[novakido]

Thenun, you so sweet! Thanks, wish I won't kanna UTI before June then I can go to the medical centre to get that Chinese Barley drink! =)

Butter, did you get the pre natal vitamins or just folic acid? The pre natal vitamins includes other vitamins as well, Vit B6 very impt too, seems will help in the first trimester for nauseous.

Saro, what i do is, just after BD, lift up butt about 10mins, then go pee, my doc told me that not necessary need to wash, but we do need to pee, coz the bacteria might be climbing up the tract, so pee will flush them out. *winks* Btw, I feel like 10mins not enough hehe, S still dribble out, xian, maybe must hold longer so as not to waste precious S. Haha...

 

[butterkiss]

nova,
the folic acid I gotten is EXTRA one (it's called Folic Acid Extra). It comprises of Vit B2, B6, B12 and Choline.

Eh... Need to pee after BD one ar?? I normally don't. Ha ha... Oh, I read from the webby that it's better to let the sperm retain in the body for at least half an hour!

 

[bubblepearl]

hi ladies, hmm..that barley drink is for UTI? hmm..think i am getting it now..

 

[Ms's_Mummy]

[beaupeau]

Storeberry
Thanks alot will be gg to see Dr Tan see how it goes.If reali cant than I think fated ba.The lucky thing is I have a gal le.
Bubblepearl
Think u need to drink lots and lots of water it will help to clear up.That is wat my GP told me last time. And I think if I dun remember wrongly prune juice will also help.

lovelove
As long as u are not in the place when reno is in process.I guess it will be fine.

 

[piyobaby]

saro...does the unity folic acid cums in loose tabs form or sterile in its foil packaging...

storeberry...the blood clot will disperse by itself w/o any med?...watch TV at home...dats his fav advise...

carine...now we understand how GP profits beam...my last batch was given by gynae...thou it's FOC but reflected on the bill as 14 tabs for $2+....

 

[snow20]

ladies - i found out that it is ovaries cancer... ytd afternoon she removed 2 of the ovaries.. i was there the whole day.... today very exhausted n fall sick again... going dwn in the afternoon...

 

[snow20]

thanks everyone for the concern.

 

[pinkie_pirate]

Snow, sorry to hear that. Hope that the operation was successful. Be strong, so that you aunt can draw from your strength.

 

[Ms's_Mummy]

Piyo,
haiyo! so ex... *shake Head*

Snow,
*hugs!* nowadays cancer is very normal, like my FIL, also got cancer ealier on mahz... stay in the hospital for weeks, operation liao, now recovering althought he's still very weak.. keep vomit... But at least will heal de.. Dun worry ok?? *jia you!*

 

[saro]

butter,

PMS symtoms ah.. like the bust a bit swollen feeling, then all the time hungry ? hahaha....

piyo,
the ntuc unity packaging is individually packed in the foil packaging n put into a box type, n each tab is 5mg...

bubble, ya, one of the ladies advised that the barley drink is for UTI and the EYS lady also confirmed that can clear the "niao guan" so i guess shd ok
