(2011) TTC 2011 Mums!!!

sweetypea> I also using bbt thermometer but result varies. sometimes I get a shock when my bbt falls below 36.00 coz seems like I have a colder body? My bbt never rise above 36.40. I take bbt every morning 7.30am and sometimes weekend at 9am coz i overslept..



emilybaby> hello... today CD22... my signs of OPK, bbt, CM still very confusing to me..no confirmatiobn there is an O. bbt up down, up down like roller coaster. haiz... may I know



Just to share I'm seeing this TCM at Tanjong Pager Medical Hall Tel: 62235687 for past 2 mths. Took the premium medicine and cost me $250/mth. hmm... so far ok, so monitoring my results. But I like the way how the TCM doc analysis my body constitution. Very detailed.

 


BABYSEE>> how long you see the TCM?? did you share with him your roller coaster bbt...



My friend used to be like you, but after seeing TCM, the bbt bk to normal on the 2nd or 3rd cycle onwards. Maybe you try longer...TCM needs time.



and my temp is also like you, my temp from CD1-CD7 are between 36.1 - 36.4. only approaching O then slowly move up to 37.2. sometimes its amazing to see how our body changes...learn new things every month....hehe [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
actually hoh..i realise when start to TTC, many symptoms that are 'like preggy' start to appear every month.



Last time where got so many things one, here cramp there cramp, all sort of weird feelings.



Maybe when start to pay attention to the body, than we discover more things.

 
JC, I share the same thoughts too. They seem to be different from what I using feel before AF. Maybe we have just grown to be too sensitive.



Ixoral, congrats! More baby dust to all in this thread!

 
CRAZYMAMA>> Hope i do not have to wait too long...hehe...im trying this month too...CD 8...still have a long way too go...



And Happy Holiday to all!!! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Babysee>> Yup, we shd be of the same age, in my 20s too. I haven't even entered the foray of taking bbt and all the OPK stuffs u gals are talking abt. Any advices if I shd do tat coz I'm still quite new, and had only been trying to do it "naturally".. =O Still waiting for my ultrasound scan to be done in early Dec and for my AF to stop.

 
Amy, I was told chinese herbs 'less harmful' to the body and it's good for ladies to consult tcm if cycles are not regular even if not TTC. Probably takes time for the herbs to take effect so no harm consulting one early. I used to see one before getting married as mum wants me to tiao my body but ended up no patience to take the tcm powder everyday so haven't try since.

 
KWXY> I just started seeing this TCM for 2 mths only... my bbt taking also just started... hee... Once I start TTC, I go all the way out doing bbt, TCM, gynae etc... coz desperate to have a bunny bb...

 
MiloQueen>> I dunno if I shd go to TCM to "tiao" or not, coz if yes, will have to visit my aunt who's a TCM. Haiz.. Or shd I wait till the doc consultation @ KKH b4 deciding to visit TCM or not? But meantime, once AF over, will continue to TCC again! =)

 
Amy, you got sone reservations going to your tcm aunt? If so, then maybe wait for the KKH check first but meanwhile after AF clears take can bai feng wan first. Just my suggestion.

 
Hi all ttc mums/mtbs,



I have some left over opks and hpts sprinkled with baby dusts to sell off, cos I strike already. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



9 OPKs (ovulation strips) + 2 HPT (pregnancy test strips) + 1 HPT mid-stream kind (means u can pee on it directly to test).



Selling off at $8 inclusive of normal postage. PM me if you are interested k? Thks!

 
the wait is killing me..haiz...



i got a feeling won't strike tis month.



so probably will go for pre-checkup with hubby. i am surprised he initiated it..saying his colleague advised him to go for one. If his swimmers not good, do alot of times also no good.

 
Me too...signs of AF reporting now. Sighs, was still waiting to test this weekend as it was supposed to be due 1-2 days before. Must jiayou again next month.

 
i tested this morning..1 week before my due date..haha...coz i going for exercise class tody..but is negative..expected lah..but just want to be sure nia...



wish u luck Miloqueen! i still got 1 week to go...

 
Haha, I did that a week ago. I go for low impact aerobics every Sat so tested last week as somehow feel uneasy about jumping around if really hit jackpot. Actually wanted to test before going this Sat but now no need cos confirm CD1 for me. Will be a long wait for me till the next try as my cycle is so looong...record long of 42days this time round! :p



Good luck JC!

 
Thought yesterday would be my final fertility check, but the Doc said I'm not ovulating, hence the long cycles for this year.



Sigh!



Now I need to go for HSG to check if my tubes are okay before she can put me on Clomid, I suppose.



And these 2 days, I started to chart my BBT and realised for my CD 11 and CD 12, my temp is at 36.09 and 36.00



Do you get so low during your non ovulation period?

 
Morning ladies!! today is CD 10!! looking forward to this week and next week....hehe [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



anybody give hubby any supplements?? I've given zinc and vit E....and cook sweet potatoes for him too...read in the website...dunno works a not...

Babydusts to all!

 
Hello ladies... it is necessary to do a body check up before TTC? What kind of check up is required and where to do the checkup? Just for me or hubby also need?

 
Hi Windy, is your menstrual cycle regular? A check up is good to ensure that everything is fine and you have a peace of mind before trying. If your cycle is pretty regular, you can start trying first and if still no good news after trying for a few months, then it is advisable to go for a checkup. Gynae will recommend if it is necessary for hubby to do any tests. Usually start off with checks for the ladies first and you must be prepared to do pap smear test if you've not done so before.



Hi ladies, can anyone share your experience doing HSG test? Was there a lot of discomfort?

 
hello everyone.. decided to TTC after 3 years of marriage. starting with OPK this month... Nice to find a discussion thread on this to share..

 
i just tested clearblue opk (digital)..shows positive! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] but my temp did not peak alot.. a few days ago was around 36.1 36.09 36.18 etc then today is 36.3...not alot of difference..so wondering if its really D day... hrmmm

 
Ahfenny>> Then you must jiayou these few days!! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Hope to hear good news from you soon!!

 
MiloQueen>> Yup, have reservations gg to my TCM aunt coz dun feel comfy talking abt getting pregnant to a relative.. =x



Guess I will wait for the KKH appt, which is abt 2 weeks later and will still TTC in the meantime.. =)



I started to take folic acid to "prepare", as advised by my frenz who have been preggy b4, but kept forgettng to eat.. How arh? =(

 
Haha actually me too, very ad hoc in taking folic tabs until lately - pressure to be preggie starts building up after hit 2yrs after marriage (CNY coming!). Guess we just have to be diligent and remind ourselves daily. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Hi Ahfenny,

saw from your previous posting that u are using clearblue OPK digital. care to share where u buy from? approx how much? thought of getting one for myself too. Tks

 
JC>> The 1st KKH appt I went to was coz my AF didn't came for 3 mths. Actually, not sure wat is the 2nd appt to do ultrasound scan for. The doc told me to better do fertility test when she heard tat we are TTC. On the 1st appt, urine HCG test was done to make sure I was not pregnant. Blood test and pap smear was also done, but not sure wat the blood test was for.

 
Well..it's 70plus for 7 test. Got it frm Watson. Very expensive but I monitor my discharge only use when that Crucial period. Frm the instruction, it test my LH. Ovulation should be coming. Tml or the day after! So jing zhang can? Keke

 
Morning ladies! Does anyone know how long does it take for the hcg blood test to be out? A few days or a few hours? Anyone know if dr wood (sengkang) opens today? I need to do that test!!!

 
Dolphin - Does that mean there's gd news coming? Hee hee



anyway, I think if you need want the hCG blood test done quickly, might be gd to walk into the KKH's women clinic.



All the best!

 
Regarding BBT - Does the BBT raise steadily towards Ovulation? Or it will suddenly just sky rocket?



JC - I went to a polyclinic to get a referral to KKH for fertility test. Basically, the wife will be checked on whether she's ovulating, whether her egg reserves is gd and whether her uterus and ovaries are okay. For the husband, there's the sperm test, to check on the count and quality.



But be mindful that this fertility check can take quite some time, as they need to perform blood test on different cycle day.

 
hi dolpin,

he's open today... good luck for ur test...

hcg takes abt 1 to 2 working days... which dpo are u? u can try doing on a very sensitive urine test strip... cos the blood test cost over 100+

 
Amy, you may start you supplment anytime.



Dragon-gal, I bought my Clearblue OPK from US, I've extras to sell at $85 for 20 sticks. Spore only carries the 7 sticks. PM me if you are keen. Thanks.



Pommes, my pre-O temp is around 36.4, 1-2days before O will dip by 0.2, after O will surge to 36.6 then above 36.8, 1-2 days before AF reports, will dip to 36.6+.

 
Hi ladies,



some supplements to recommend for TTC ladies.



Besides your usual multi vitamins and folic acid, it is good to take the below supplements to aid your TTC journey.



Omega 3 - Fish oil together with EPA and DHA have many beneficial effects on fertility. EFAs are crucial for healthy hormone functioning and improve sperm motility and increase women's eggwhite cervical mucus, improves blood circulation to the uterus and reduce sensitivity to prolactin. Omega 3 is also great for women suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.



royal jelly - also known as queen bee's food, is a super fertility food. It helps to balance hormones, good for women suffering from PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), irregular menses, etc. When hormones are balanced, that will indirectly help you to ovulate better. Royal jelly also helps to improve egg’s health. Besides beneficial to women, it is also good for men's sperms. It helps to increase sperm count and increase sexual libdo.



Coenzyme Q10 - another powerful antioxidant that protects our cells from free radicals which will improve eggs quality and sperms quality.



Selenium - an antioxidant that helps to protect our body from free radicals. It helps to minimize the risk of miscarriages and birth defects that could arise due to chromosome breakage. Selenium is essential to maximise sperm formation and to improve sperm count. Selenium is also important in 2WW as it helps with the implantation of the embryo into the uterus.



Pycnogenol - a natural plant extract from French martime pine tree, is a super antioxident that protect cells from free radicals. Studies have shown that it has helped to improve men's sperms quality especially in motility and morphology.
