(2011) TTC 2011 Mums!!!

[lynzi1606]

Tethysea,

yup that should be the sac.

After passing out that, the bleeding should visibly lighten.

Your gynae can scan whether all the tissues are out or not.

He can prescribe cytotec to help purge out.

If u want natural remedy, can try getting raspberry leaf tea from babydustshop. Brew n drink the tea to help purge out all the tissues n lining.



Starrie,

new cycle new hope..jia you!!

CD 18 today! Seeing some slighty strechable CM today, but dun think is EWCM. =p

 

[kwxy]

Good morning ladies!! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[sweet_apple]

Thanks nb01 for the explanation on the abbrevation.



AF on 23/4, based on 28-day cycle, I should O on 06/5. But last 2 days I still have light brown discharge. the discharge is just like egg white kind of texture, except that it's light brown in color. Is this normal?



Me & my colleague has been actively trying for the last few months. She just tested positive. I'm so happy for her, but when is my turn????? I'm already in my late thirties, I hope to have #2 soon.



For the last cycle, I BD on CD 9, 11, 13 & 15. CD15 is the day I tested positive using OPK. I was very hopeful last cycle, but AF came last week.



How long have you gals been trying?

 

[jjj_mummy]

Good morning ladies, last night waited 2hrs at e clinic and then finally confirmed my pregnancy. I'm 5wks and could see the sac. EDD tentatively is 8 Jan.

missus_BL,

Wish you good luck for your blood test and scans tomorrow.



tethysea,

Do rest well and do a mini confinement. I know you said you are cooking for yourself but do remember not to exert yourself and rest more too. When you are ready, do join us again! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



peapea,

Tks for letting me know that travelling only screws up with AF and not O. I was getting a little too paraniod. Now can happily plan my trip! You are also going away this month right? Good luck to you too!



starrie,

New cycle, new hope!



Amy,

I am also having those slightly stretchy CM but not like EWCM. Think our O is on the way! Good luck!

 

[jeffcraze]

JJJ_mummy>> Glad to hear tat u saw the sac! Congrats on yr BFP!



nb01>> My slightly stretchy CM stopped already. Today is totally dry. =_=" Could I have missed my O? When shd I start testing OPK? My BBT temp has been on the low side for this cycle. Jia lat.. =(

 

[missus_bl]

JJJ_mummy>> congrats once again! I think my EDD is ard the same as u cos I'm 5 weeks now too.



Nb01>> thks dear. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



Baby dust to all.. =)

 

[jeffcraze]

missus>> Now u and JJJ_mummy can hold hands in yr motherhood journey. =)

 

[peapea]

nb01, u got good memory.... hahaha... hopefully catch O during my trip...



cant wait to start TTC

 

[nb01]

Amy,

Sometimes CM can come and go during a cycle. Maybe you haven't O yet? Coz your cycles are quite irregular right? How many days are your cycle? Maybe can guess from there?



Like for me, my gynae says from CD16-26 as my cycles are from CD30-40+ but I think it might come earlier since I already saw the stretchy CM on CD14 so I started OPK testing yesterday but -ve so I think my O is still on the way.



For OPK testing, I think the rough way to calculate when to start testing is to take 14 days and minus from the shortest length of your period. That is what my gynae did in front of me. Which is how he came to CD16-26 (30-14 = 16). Coz 14 is supposed to be the "standard" for the luteal phase. But for me, I think my luteal phase is longer than 14 days so I minus 16 days which is how I come to CD14 which seems to be abt right based on what I am seeing in this cycle.

 

[nb01]

peapea,

Not good memory.. Just happen to remember coz I am also planning a trip. Hee... So when are you going off? During long weekend?



I also can't wait to TTC. Hoping my O faster come coz I only got 4 more days to Sun and then hubby will be gone! Argh...



Btw, not sure if you started cooking the soups yet but if you want to make the soup more "tasty", you can also add "dried abalone" slices together with dried scallops. Those "dried abalone" slices are the fake abalone slices but adds abalone taste into the soups and makes it taste really good. I tried last week and hubby loves it. So you can try. I bought it at those medical halls and they cost abt $10 for a box and it has quite a few pieces. Can use for many times as I only put 2 slices in each time. The slices are transparent in colour and if you ask the medical halls, most of them should know. Good luck in your cooking! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[peapea]

nb01, u just gave me a great idea for my 2WW. to cook the soup... hahaha the election is distracting me now so waiting for O isnt that difficult... when is your hubby coming back?



im leaving on 14th.. returning on 16th... then 17th just nice celebrate dating hubby for 3 years (sounds so short but feel so long... hahahahaha)

 

[jeffcraze]

nb01>> Think our cycles are really similar. Mine also in the 30+ to 40+ range. 2 cycles ago is 38, prev was 41. Today CD 18, prob will be this weekend or early next week. Juz hope this cycle wun screw up again! Coz feeling the stress from wedding preps and wif hubby being sick. =x

 

[rainie]

missus, u mentioned earlier on go pray to the goddess of fertility in Bukit Batok?

u go there buy flowers then pray? the person there will guide u? sorry....dun usually go temple to pray, got procedures?

 

[nb01]

peapea,

you want more distraction? See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuEEZk22TqE

Came across it on my friend's fb page and it is one of the better videos I have seen online. But I caveat it by saying it doesn't mean I am pro opposition but I think it just brings home the right issues without taking personal attacks.



Hubby will only be back on Fri 13th so literally the whole week away and most of my "window"! Coz by the time he is back, I will be CD25 already so think gone case...



So your holiday is also just nice as a pre celebration for your anniversary! So cool! Enjoy! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[nb01]

Amy,

*high 5* Then maybe you want to start your OPK testing already? So that you don't miss your O. I have already started mine at CD15 just in case. And try to relax. Not good to be stressed when TTC as it also affects your cycles. But I know it is easier said than done. =P

 

[peapea]

nb01, yup yup.. thanks thanks.... im still deciding if i shld test with opk this cycle... find it kind of stressful

 

[nb01]

peapea, well, I am a believer of OPKs since they do help to detect my O especially when I have irregular cycles and PCOS and this is all I can rely on unless I keep going back to my gynae for scans which will be super ex and also very inconvenient. But it is up to you. Some pple do find it stressful and don't want to do it and they can still conceive. To me, I find it quite fun and hassle free as just need to pee and test. But hubby says he feels like a gigolo. Haha.. But do what makes you feel comfy. Whatever you choose, we will get our bfps! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[peapea]

nb01, wondering when shld i start finding a gynae?



any advice?

 

[simplysonel]

CD14 and started to spot since yesterday. althogh TCM said i should O ard CD24, i still went ahead to test with opk last nite and gotten -ve.



my system has gone haywire... sigh!!!

 

[nb01]

peapea, I think you should consider finding a gynae asap as you will need to see once once you strike. And it is not easy to find someone you like/trust so you might want to start early rather than later. And sometimes it is also good to do some checks before you TTC, like pap smear if you have never done before. Maybe what you can do is to schedule a gynae visit for a pap smear if you dun strike this cycle and time it with when you think you O so that you can see the eggy at the same time. Then you can see how you feel with the person and decide from there.

 

[nb01]

sonel,

I dun think spotting has anything to do with O right? I thought it has more to do with AF or implantation? Maybe someone else can help?

 

[peapea]

hmmm ok... i think if this cycle nv strike, i will go find a gynae

 

[nb01]

peapea,

I think Lynzi has a list of good ones so maybe you can check with her. Also decide if you want a male or female gynae depending on what you are comfortable with. Good luck and hope you find a good and nice one!

 

[simplysonel]

nb01 - hehe i tested with opk cos i wanna see if i Oed. planned to test alternate days till CD24. in case i missed it. ;p



as for spotting, i dont think its implantation. probably ask TCM tmr. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

 

[lynzi1606]

Sonel,

could u be having mid cycle bleeding?

Some ladies do get this when they going to o.



Peapea,

there are no of factors to consider when choosing gynae.

U want male or female?

Is distance a factor?

From govt hosp or pte hosp?

After u decide on that then the list of gynaes to consider wont be so mind boggling.

 

[missus_bl]

Charlotte>> the flower store will be closed on weekends.

No one guided us, we juz prayed to her ourselves. If u want, u can ask the staffs there? [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[peapea]

lynzi,



looking at TMC cuz it is nearer home. and i think i prefer male...



thinking either this gynae AL Lim or Dr Benjamin Tham after reading such great reviews of him

 

[lynzi1606]

Good male docs at tmc are Adrian Tan and Benjamin Tham.

Since u are near tmc, im guessing u wont need to drive,

If u do drive, use the valet service.

Its at flat rate of $4 irregardless of how long u spend time at tmc. Just leave your car with them when u reach n collect back after u are done..easy peasy.

 

[peapea]

lynzi,



there is direct bus to tmc from my place (nooooo im not stayin at the lovely condos there), have to walk a little distance though... but cuz my workplace is around novena area, it kinds of make everything easier... heeee



anyway lynzi, is your appetite back??

 

[simplysonel]

lynzi - what is mid cycle bleeding? this is the 1st time im experiencing this.

 

[missus_bl]

Peapea>> I chose dr Benjamin Tham.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[queenly]

just wanna ask...i have to go on biz trip end May and i'm going for a vacation early June. if my AF doesnt report by then it might be a possibility of BFP.



wanna check if its ok to fly if its in the early stage of pregnancy?

 

[lynzi1606]

Sonel,

its just a little blood rite?

Not staining the whole pad right?

Mid cycle bleeding or spotting is common for 30% of women.

Possible causes can be when u are Oing, bleeding will occur when egg burst thru the follicle n this blood show up as spotting.

Another reason might be during O period, the estrogen level in the body rises n thus forces the uterus to shed a lining which shows up as spotting.

 

[lynzi1606]

Queenly,

are u travelling long distance for both?

If flying long hours then better not.

 

[queenly]

i'm travelling to HK for biz trip so about 4 hours....for my vacation i'm going TW so 4 hours to HK transit then 1 hour to TW.



How ah?

 

[simplysonel]

thanks lynzi. yes just little pinkish blood.

actually i was wondering if the TCM med was too strong for me. lol

 

[tethysea]

Thanks girls *hugs*

Went ahead with the D&C anyway cos doc said safer. Anyway I think my body passed out most of the stuff liao, so don't really feel anything - just super seh after the anesthetic, so went home and slept the whole day away haha!



missus BL >> jiayou for your checkup tmr! Now probably still too early to see the egg sac, but no worries. I'm sure your bloodtest results will be ok [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



Queenly >> By right flying is ok. Just don't strain yourself and take it easy just in case.
