Thanks MiloQueen and Julie for the welcome.
BabyDreamy Queen: What a horrible period you are going through now. I pray that baby will stick with you and stay healthy
KWXY: I totally understand what you are going through - but spotting could be a good sign. As long as its not too heavy. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
AF symptoms and preggie symptoms are so similiar. I had all the symptoms, only to see red. :-(

JC, kind of agree with you that each of us have diff cycles so doesn't mean CD 9 will O. How about try alt day BD from CD9? I do think should spend some time to start tracking O from CD9 especially if you are on clomid or conceive well though as these pills seem to shorten irregular cycles. Maybe just try lah since your DH also keen. 
All my AF symptoms went off don't know go or bad...think I will just ignore any signs till next Mon before testing...hopefully I don't see red beforethat.

hi ladies,
hope you don't mind me interrupting.
to track ovulation, it will be good to use a combination of OPK, BBT and monitoring of cervical mucus to help you pinpoint your ovulation.
also, i will like to suggest that you should start to bd before you test positive on your OPK. reason being, once you detect your OPK being +ve, you most likely will ovulate within 12-48 hours. sperms need time to swim to the egg. hence, it is always better to have sperms already waiting to fertilize the egg rather than the egg waiting for the sperm to reach it.
for ladies who may o as early as cd9, then you may like to consider to start to bd from cd 6 onwards. for ladies who usually o any day between cd 12-cd18, you can start consider to bd from cd 8 onwards to enhance your chances.
for healthy couples, the chance of conceiving is 25% every month (which of course may decline with age). so do not be dishearten even if you did not bfp that month.
ladies who did not manage to test +ve on OPK, it could be due to a few reasons.
1. timing - the timing you test may already miss the LH surge.
2. hormones level - ladies with hormones imbalance may have a harder time to test +ve on OPK.
hence, it is good to notice your cervical mucus and your bbt to help you pinpoint ovulation better.
Babydust to all! May all of you get a bfp soon! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

how long can sperm reach our eggs??
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_long_does_it_take_sperm_to_reach_an_egg
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_long_does_it_take_sperm_to_reach_an_egg
How long does it take for the human sperm to reach the egg? How long can sperm and egg remain viable for fertilisation?
Once sperm are deposited in the vagina, they must travel through the cervical canal, through the uterus, and up to the egg in the upper third of the oviduct. Spermatozoa can reach the distal uterine (Fallopian) tube within 15 minutes after semen is deposited in the vagina. The vast majority of spermatozoa never make it. Many are destroyed by vaginal acid or drain out of the vagina. Others fail to penetrate the mucus of the cervical canal, and those that do are often destroyed by leukocytes in the uterus. Half of the remainder are likely to go up the wrong uterine tube. Finally, only about 2000 spermatozoa reach the vicinity of the egg.
Experiments have shown that freshly ejaculated sperm are infertile; they must be present in the female tract for at least 7 hours before they can fertilise an ovum. During the passage through the female reproductive tract, the sperm undergo a process of capacitation that makes it possible to penetrate an egg. The membrane of the spermatozoon head contains a substantial amount of cholesterol, which toughens it and prevents premature release of acrosomal enzymes. Fluids of the female reproductive tract slowly wash away cholesterol and other inhibitory factors in the semen. Most spermatozoa are fertile for a maximum of 48 hours. An ovum can stay in the uterine tube for at most 24 hours before it becomes incapable of undergoing fertilisation.

Hi All,first time in this thread. would like to spread baby dust to all of you TTCing.tested positive on xmas day and now i am 5.5 weeks along. this is my #1 and i hope it would be a smooth pregnancy : )
to share with you,my AF began to be irregular 5 months before we ttc. so i went to see a gynae to see what can be done so that i can get pregnant.
Doc put me on clomid and i failed twice. was quite depressed and i was on the highest dose of clomid for my 3rd round. I was thinking to myself if fail, i will stop ttc for the time being cos the process was so frustrating.
On the 3rd round, gynae monitored me very closely,scanning to see how big was the egg in the ovary.he say once it is about 17mm, it will drop. he ask me to test using ovulation kit, i tested for one whole week, and the results were always one line, one line, faint 2 lines, faint 2 lines, then one line.so i called him and he did a scan and saw that the ovary had dropped.luckily, the few days before, we bd and 2ww was the longest wait ever. finally good news on xmas day!
All TTC mothers to be, dun give up!continue your folic acid and on my 3rd round, i started eating royal jelly.might have helped

jas, jc dearies, sorry for mixing up your posts. I think I better change my glasses kept getting all your nicks wrong! Is this a preggie symptom? LoL...just ignore me. I shall be patient till next week as I've already reminded myself.
pommes, this thur will be CD23 for me, which is exactly 14 days after I tested OPK positive. Told myself if the will activate my HPT. *fingers crossed*
julie, uh oh...I have been eating ice-cream these few weeks. Can't imagine where the carbo had all gone when I've stopped exercising!

Thanks Miloqueen, Julie Ng, happyenough, pommes. I am still patiently waiting for my scan on 20 Jan. Doctor just prescribed Duphaston twice a day.
For those who tried to slim down for TTC, if does not work, try the reverse. For me, I slim down to 57kgs from 65kgs, trying to TTC, not work for me. FYI, I am 163cm tall, so 65kgs considered obese. When I tried for 1 yr didn't work, recently I try to put on weight, eat more healthily and walk leisure 2 round in Punggol parl (2.4km in total) 2 times a week, then got preggie when I am 63 kgs. So, not sure if coincidence or fate for bb coming to knock at my door (hope is not fat hope or a dream which will awake on 20 Jan)

xin - try testing again a few days later if menses still not here. the symptoms u describe sound positive.
babysee toh - to start with, u can do a fertility check. u can either go for private or get a referral letter from polyclinic.
CD 33 for me. temp at 36.6X for these 2 days. Can only take the "wait and see" approach. But then I'm so silly, I have been drinking expired milk for the past week. Din realise until this morning. I'm alittle concerned over this, but good thing is I din LS from this expired milk.

Hi Girls..
Dont mind me joining in... =) Can see a lot of frustrations with TTC all over..
I also another 1... Have had 3 mcs last 18 months with no live birth! Sigh.. and waiting for green light to try because doing full checks to ensure no recurrent again but who can guarantee such things. Just saw alot of girls trying clomid. Is that what the gynae does recommend? I really think they should dispense that so readily.

anyone here using OPK? which brand?
I just started using OPK, cant sight any positive signs. My cycles are 30-33days. Have been tested negative for OPK since CD12-CD18. Still negative!... wondering why and did I use wrongly or I didnt ovulate at all... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

Pommes, I'm also the wait and see approach. Today supposed to be AF due, CD 32. Still no signs, no PMS but also no preggy sign. Today temp 36.6....if preggy should not be that low. AF may delay due to many reasons. So going to wait patiently. Not going to waste my last test kit!! Haha!! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Really?!? Sometimes my temp is 36.5...when I see others preggy at 36.7...and mine not so high, I dun have confidence.
But you can start to test already!!! For the past 2 cycles, you are earlier than me, by now I think you are 1-2 days late!! Omg!! You are making excited! Hahaha!! Go go go....try to test tmr morning! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Pommes, my spotting came bk to haunt me this morning. Those spotting are telling me my AF coming to look for me. Sob sob! In fact once 2-3 days late. The line should be quite dark and clear! Praying hard for you!! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
