esterlah - really cannot drink american ginseng ar?? ydae i just bought ju hua ren sheng from Hock Hua..i drank half, my dh drank the other half cos this few days very hot...cannot drink throughout the whole TTC process ma? or during O period cannot drink??

 
i think can drink la - but just not daily american ginseng ba - maybe u ask the medical hall pple cos i understand american ginseng is liang.



once a week should be ok I feel cos - they dont put alot of ginseng into the essence anyway lor.



I understand too liang not good during TTC right?

 
what i also know is Red or korean ginseng -the heaty type - unless during pregnancy very weak - should not take during pregnancy - will cause hard labour.



If body weak can take say those alcohol pple put a red ginseng in for health reasons kind - 1 teaspoon is ok during preggy my SIL took that cos due to her work nature she stands & walks alot & still does house work.





This red ginseng OX - i have a joke to share. For my wedding we accidentily brought one such bottle there, my FIL didnt label properly -WAH those old uncles smelt it -immediately they know -all fighting for it. I think that nite their aunties all ta bolek tahan. *Rock the boat baby!

purplelace

its nvr easy to TTC. darn stressful & alot of ppl asking "when huh?" so sick of trying and seeing red at the end of it. I've asked myself countless times "When, when, when???"...



Shan81

yah juz BD when +OPK lor.

initially i used OPK but coz my cycle was super long this time, i stopped using OPK coz dunno when will be +ve. imagine i O on day 68.... how many strips wld i hv used???? its crazy!!!



Joanne

sometimes i sleep with aircon, sometimes w/o. But i think it doesnt matter. The day my reading went up to 37.03, i thot my eyes were playing tricks on me! Tt morning, i took 4 readings to satisfy myself. it ranged fr 36.96-37.03 C. SOmetimes i even get up to make milk for my son b4 i flop back to bed, rest for a while then take temp.

The timing is abt the same everyday. at most wkend is only half hr later. i juz record. to me, makes not much diff.

i m urs - most likely there's nothing wrong with ur dog..but u can play safe..and one other thing i forgot to ask u...when did u bring ur dog to the vet??how many days after buying? cos if u can prove that the rashes and ear infection was when you bought the dog, u can go back to the pet shop...

 
valerie...

i bought the dog on sat afternoon... mon go to vet... i brought from a breeder in pasir ris pet hotel... so no pt going back to him, will only push the responsibility back to us...[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

 
i m urs - actually it's not true...you can just tell the breeder that sunday vets are seldom open and monday the vet found the ear infection and rashes...what's the living condition of the dogs there?? if it's not very hygienic, it's better than you let them know, so the other dogs there won't get it too...but the bright side is normally the infection once cured doesn't come back if you clean it regularly...so ydae did u manage to clean his ears??



webbyy - will check later..going home liao...thanks.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
valerie...

my dh managed to use cotton wool to clean it... i not sure how thorough isit... but didnt really manage to drip the cleasning lotion and the medicine in his ear properly... bring him to the vet later and get them to clean for him will b gd...

 
Dear gals,

DH and I are going to visit TCM NOW but still wondering who to go for. Did some research, here's to share:

(FEEDBACK: My hb & I saw Dr. Tan Lee Kee of Ying Chuan Chinese Medical Hall in Jurong East 4 yrs ago. We spent a few thousand dollars on her and a Gynae at Glenages recommended by her. We were told that I have PCOS and my hb sperms not good.

We saw them for a year and I did not manage to conceive.

After that we also went through 2 times of IVF. I managed to get pregnant on my 2nd IVF, unfortunatly I miscarriage in my 6th weeks of pregnancy. After my miscarriage, I went to this Sin Seh at Marine Parade. He helped me to 'bu3' my body and I also told him I want to conceive naturally. He told me he will help me but my hb and I must follow his instructions and take the herbs prescribed by him. I'm now 5 1/2 mths pregnant after taking his herbs for a few mths. His fees is much cheaper than JE's Sin Seh and my hb & I only need to see him 1 time per mth.

But you must brew the herb yourself.)

(4) Tan Kian Sing

TCM Healthcare Medical Center

Blk 433, Clementi Ave 3, #01-266, Singapore 120433

Tel : 68723237

His Thread on SMH: http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/cgi-bin/forumboard/discus.cgi?pg=next&topic=36738&page=330783

FEEDBACK: The two Chinese physicians are recommended to me by a Chinese physician(from China).

Both of the Chinese physicians are holding doctorate degree from renowned TCM University in China. Both of them had spent at least a year in China hospital for clinical experience.

Dr Tan Kian Sing is currently the head of infertity group in Singapore Chung Hwa Medical Institution. He is mainly solving male problem. There is another female Chinese physician who is the head of infertity group in solving the females problem. As I am not comfortable with a male physician, I choose Dr Tan Siew Buoy to solve my medical problem. She is the expert of solving female problem.

I hear a lot of things about some local Chinese phyiscan who is very unhappy if their patient tells them that they are doing IVF or IUI. Some local Chinese phyisican even feel offend if they know the couple going to see another Chinese phyisican.

Both Dr Tans are very open as they are aware that we are seeing two phyisican. Most of time we will ask them to write their TCM treatment so we can pass to the each other. This will help to provide the best treatment for both of us.

Both Dr Tans are aware that we are intending to do IUI or IVF. They advise us to receive TCM treatment for preparing for pregnancy. The womb must be ready for pregnancy. If your body is not in a good condition for pregnancy, there is no point of trying many cycle of IVF or IUI.

FEEDBACK: I have just tested positive last week. very happy indeed. I have been tcc for almost 3 years. No luck maybe because of my age (38). Started going to TCM in Aug 08 (went to Dr Tan Kian Seng after reading about him in this forum). Went thru 5 months(2 to 3 times per mth bef ovulation) of accupucture and taking the power herbs. I guess it certainly make your body stronger. I am very happy and hope everything will be fine for the next 9 mths.

FEEDBACK: maybe you can try seeing Dr Tan Siew Buoy,at thong chai medical institute, i'm currently seeing her but for me the prob is my hubby,his counts were low,she asked him to buy the herbs prescribed by her,and he is taking it now but i'm also seeing her and taking the herbs too cos she said it will make my womb stronger to prepare for pregnancy,she will also ask you to monitor your temperature daily to see if you are ovulating...

Tel: 6288 7439

FEEDBACK: I had tried for baby since Year 2003, went to see few chinese sinseh which is popular in singapore, tried cromid, IUI and Laparoscopy over last 3 yrs of TTC but no good news. Besides that i have retroverted uterus, according to Gynea this will not affect on TTC

After seeing the sinseh at Ban Choon Wah for abt 3mth, finaly get pregant in yeard 2006, and i just give birth to my prince during this April.

Give this sinseh a try, he realy good

FEEDBACK (-VE): The physician,i tink,is the worse physician that i seen.He didn't chk my pulse n my history n straight away jumped into conclusion by treating me as infertile patient.He started to "hard sell" himself by boosting his achievements.He said he is the 1st person in S'pore who teach ppl how to use BBT temp chart to chk wf O.After i told him my conditions(miscarriages,etc)then he said he refused to treat me.On top of that,he even asked me to give him a token after all the lecturing fr him.I took out $10 note n asked him:"is this enough?" n very pissed off n left.

Joanne’s OPK Spree

From local reseller / 55cents per strip

Name | no. of opk u want | meetup location (yishun mrt or boon keng mrt)

Joanne - ??pcs

Byrest - 30pcs - Yishun mrt

Rugrat - 30pcs - ??



Dear Joanne,

Yes, the 35-40cents include the delivery from US. It’s best to get someone with experience from buying to purchase. I’m also unsure cos have never bought before, I organised, Jandew ordered.

Actually, you might wanna consider mailing to them, include the postage costs, cos collection at Yishun and Boon Keng quite limited.



Dear Magix,

Very happy to hear from you! I thought O-ing on CD38 was late, you O-ed on CD68!!! Congrats, my friend [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



Dear Valerie,

Need to use oral ones, can’t use ear ones.

 
Hi all,

I decided to make appt with the most famous Dr Tan from Clementi. His appts are full le. Anyway, made for next Tue 430pm for 2 persons. Anyone knows what to expect?

 
sashamama, i also going to see Dr Tan from Clementi next week.

First time visting also... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Hi Sashamama,



I guess for the first time.. it'll basically be a series of questions as to understand you guys better.. If you have done any tests before, make a copy and bring it along. Think he might request for you to do a blood test on your CD2 to check your hormones level and a SA test for your hubby. I'm not too sure about the guy part as I only see him alone. If you have been monitoring your BBT, please bring a copy of it to him.



If it's still before your O, he might do acupuncture on that day itself.



If you find him okay and decide to continue with him.. I can give you a suggestion for making future appts. His booking schedule is open for 2 months in advance (eg.. in Feb, you can make your booking till April).. It's pretty useful if you have a regular cycle as he will suggest you see him twice before O. You can then plan what are the appropriate dates and book them accordingly. In event that you cannot make it, pls call to inform them so that they can call those on the waiting list. Also, if there are days when the appts are full, you can request to be put on the waiting list.



Hope this is useful.

 
its so hard to book an appointment with him, and i had to take leave to see him.

Twice a month before O, wah then need to take another leave liao.

 
Hi Starrz,



It's prob going to be that way for the first 2 months. After that, you'll get the hang of it and will be able to get slots in the evening or weekends.



It's the same for me too. I started seeing him in Dec'08. I took leave to see him for Dec and Jan but from Feb,I managed to get evening and weekend slots.. so it's easier now..



The March evenings and weekends are pretty full now but think still can get April slots (I kiasu.. booked till April already.. hehe). At most, ask them to put you on waiting list.. no harm asking...



This month, my BBT is coming along pretty nicely.. no longer as erractic as the last 2 months..now waiting for O on CD17 and crossing my fingers after that... haha..

 
Starrz, don't he have any night sessions? if you book early, maybe can get the night session so no need to take leave?

 


bena,

they only open till 5pm on most days and monday till 6pm.. Thats what they told me when i call up to book.

I call last week, the lady told me all the evening sessions are fully booked till end march and told me to come during the day, easier to book, so had to take 1/2 day leave to go see him.
