amy: i love both chicken essence (especially the ones with ginseng) and herbal chicken soup! you'll have an easy time in your 1st trimester avoiding the tonics while i will probably be a walking zombie in mine when i can't drink any of those!
lynzi: i love ginger tea! good idea to drink when having AF. i'm going to do that the next cycle!

Red Raspberry Tea and Pregnancy
Consuming red raspberry tea during pregnancy and even before pregnancy has proved to be extremely beneficial. When trying to conceive, red raspberry tea leaves are given to a woman because it is said that red raspberry tea and fertility go hand in hand. Red raspberry tea is known to be an effective herb. It contains fragrine which is a very strong alkaloid - this tones the muscles of the pelvic region and the uterus in entirety and lengthens the luteal phase. The berries also contain a rich assimilation of vitamin C, vitamin E, calcium, iron, vitamin A and vitamin B complex along with several minerals like phosphorous and potassium. The leaves of this plant are first brewed and then given as a concoction of tea. It stops constipation that most women face in the early stages of their pregnancy. The fertility rate of both men and women increases when they take red raspberry tea in combination with red clover. Along with that, red raspberry tea and miscarriage are also known to have a connection. The tea helps to prevent miscarriage by helping the fertilized egg attach to the uterine lining and stay attached there. Read more on

<font color="000080"> Amy >> I'm either in DPO9 or DPO7. Can't really tell cos I don't use OPK and I woke up late around the O date, so BBT not accurate 
Anyway I wasn't really trying this cycle cos still supposed to rest.
I agree about the screaming kids... some days I feel "If I was a parent, I would have my kids under control!" and some days I worry that I secretly hate children, esp since I'm not the type that will go and coo at some friend/relative's baby. I think if my cat scratched my kid, I'll side with the cat</font>

hee Amy, was trying to encourage you. Anyway our taste buds sort of change during pregnancy right, so maybe you will grow to like them. If not, I think you will also take them, for the sake of your baby =)

Sorry for the late reply. Not very 'punctual' in here coz' busy at work and extremely tired when I get home. To ans your question regarding testing for female hormones. Yes, there are such tests. What your doc shld do is to rule out thyroid so that's 1 test to be done. But since all the tests will involve drawing of blood, might as well test most of them at the same time. The other impt test is the Day 21 progesterone test to see if you're ovulating (not recommended for those with irregular periods as ovulation will be hard to determine and the test will be wasted). Testing for Estradoil level is also recommended though I think not all doctors know its importance. Estradoil testing is done every few days after ovulation to check the level in the blood (It shld be increasing). I've also done LH/FSH blood test, testosterone level, etc.
I recommend seeing an endocrinologist specialising in reproduction. My Endo actually sent me for a series of tests on my 1st Consultation just so that the treatment could be better tailored to me. Even though I knew I had PCOS before I went to see the Endo, the tests further confirmed my condition and excluded some others which are similar to PCOS as well.
Hope this helps.

Opps double post! Sorry!
Amy
Sorry if u have mentioned this as the thread moves very fast but have u gone for a scan to check your endometrial lining? If it's too thick and preg is ruled out, u can get Norethisterone from the doc to get your period coming. Endometrial lining that's too thick and not broken down is a risk to getting endometrial cancer. just my 2cts worth.

hey ladies, one quick question. Ttc can drink coconut water? Lately, I took quite often as the fruit stall at my workplace sells. I do know that those expecting are advised to take nearer their delivery (if I'm not wrong) but not sure if it would be too liang for those ttc. Today having abit of sore throat so thought it should be ok...sipping it now.

I was like u. I was given Yasmin and then Diane-35 (can't remember the number) to regulate period. Then I met my husband who advised me to stop immediately due to the bad effects it has on the woman's body. I did so when I still had 5 packs of Yasmin left. I believe that my PCOS was also brought on partly due to this as noone had diagnosed me with PCOS till after the yasmin/diane episodes.
If TCM makes u confortable then go for it, there's really no harm. I hope everything will be fine for u soon. Jia you!

i was thinking, it's really really hard being a woman.
during menses, you get the cramps and aches
then soon after u get the O symptoms
then soon after u get the PMS
then the cycle repeats itself again
and when u are finally pregnant, there's all sorts of funny symptoms: nausea, incontinence, backaches, eczema etc...
