Ecups:: ya! Heard that tea is actually a big no no too coz caffeine can actually trigger MC in first tri. And as we always often detect only few weeks into pregnancy, may be dangerous! Haha! I need more will power to quit! Keep pushing away the plan and extend my deadline myself once I start ttc officially will stop.
And like you, Jo mummy, I go weak when I see yuen yang and teh peng!
Let's jiayou in starting a healtier lifestyle!
jo's mummy >> Guy can drink coffee to "excite" the sperm, but we have to cut down on the caffeine. So tea also cannot.
Lil'thing >> No alcohol, no caffeine, no cold drinks, no processed food (eg instant noodles, all the instant msg-filled stuff). And eat more fish but don't eat too much big-sized fish cos have high mercury content.
bearGE >> Aiyah last time less stressed mah. Now we all use computer and artificial lights screwing up our sleep patterns, plus food has all sorts of pesticides and funny chemicals... then there's pollution in the air and water. All affects our bodies and cause imbalance.
Coral Seaweed with Brown sugar (added red dates & longan). I bought this from an organic shop. It comes in a square cubes. Then just add hot water to dissolve.
Coral Seaweed is good for our skin/antioxidants while red dates n longan is for "bu" blood...

hence the need to cut on cold drinks and coffee and tea
Yes, thanks Pea for explaining..as i was blur blur too...hahah
I also went to try for a Jamu massage. A 30minutes massage to get rid of the wind from womb and to warm the womb...bought the voucher from shiokdeal 2weeks ago at S$22. however, did not sign up for package as its too expensive!!!

Hi peapea and Jo's mummy!!
ok ok now i understand! i cant drink DOM lah... too heaty for me..
i shall stay with red dates and cut down my cold drink and coffee (the most difficult one)
so most important is warm the womb! i got it! red date will become my regular drink heee... as i usually drink mineral water in office which TCM consider it as soft drink
This thread is really fast moving. Only away for 2 hours and new page already!
Went grocery shopping and all I could think of was no processed food. So ended up with lots of organic vegetables and fruits. Going to see if I can take more fruits and cut down on my juice and smoothies.
sonel,
yea.. my gynae says for PCOS we will find we put on weight very easily especially around waist area but I also use it as an excuse whenever I feel I am growing fat! LOL... Need to exercise more!
E-cups,
I went for the scan already. Abt a year ago when I was diagnosed with PCOS. So been tio-ing my body to ovulate naturally and trying to lose weight to "reverse" the effects of PCOS. Think I am ovulating naturally now as confirmed by my last gynae scan last month and I can test +ve on the OPKs. My cycles are also getting slightly more regular even though they are still quite long but at least no longer 40+ days! Fingers crossed this continues and I can strike soon!
lilthing,
I am not making a lot of changes to my diet. Just trying to eat more fruits and veggies and cooking myself instead of eating out.
Btw, ladies, it is true that being overweight (lets not say fat) makes it more difficult to conceive but it doesn't mean it is not possible! Maybe can try exercising once or twice a week and cutting back on snacks and processed food and just try to eat more healthily like more fruits and vegs. By doing so, it will also indirectly make our bodies better for TTC! Jia you!
<font color="green">to add on for PCOS, i got 2 friends diagnosed with PCOS successfully pregnant and delivery
as what i know they didnt went operation or seeking western medication... instead they went to TCM...
and very discipline with their diet, like no ice soft drink...</font>
SJX,
I think if your body is too heaty, just drink more water or just stop taking the drinks for a day or two. Maybe you can consider starting slowly and taking alternate days or twice a week first and then slowly build up. So that your body got time to adjust.
Just now went to buy the big bottle of fresh milk and some grocery home. Dnt know is it due to carrying heavy grocery and bag, suddenly feels my left side of womb pain. When reached home saw bait stain on my panty liner. But after pee wipe with toilet paper only cm. How arr..
bearGE, you might have overstrained yourself especially if you are really pregnant as shouldn't try to carry heavy things. Have you got your strips? I am not sure if you want to test but you might want to consider testing and see if it is positive. If it is, then maybe can go see a doc tomorrow just in case. I think FMU is best for testing so you might want to test in the morning but if it were me, I would be KS and test now. Up to you. But still better rest more in bed.
Nb01>> I guess I must have been frighten off by the left side pain. Let see by tmr if af not reporting, will do the test. Thanks thanks for your advice
BearGE:: Still, hoping it's a bfp for u!
went to invest in a zojirushi vacuum bottle. Starting red dates longan tea tml! Din know drinking tea can get me eggcited too! Tee hee hee!
I confirm with EYS staff, seedless red dates are less heaty and seedless 鸡心枣 shd taste sweeter than the rest. Guess
this may help enhance our tea sipping experience huh.
