happy chatting gals.. going out for meeting... then head home to rest.. gotta catch another nite meeting tonite
dun go too far hor.. happy lunch
E-cup>> Normally i use around 12-14 red dates, few piece of dried longan. i did not add sugar as the dried longan already sweet le. Using a small pot to boil them together for about half hour(by then, the pot should left only half pot of red date tea), then simmer the fire for 15 more minutes which after that can drink le. Whole process take around 45mins.

sonel >> Ok lar, my hubby quite open minded and doesn't really mind. I find it more weird when my friend shares details about her cramps and period when we go on "double dates" and both her DH and my hubby are around!</font>

E-cup>> Should be our professor Lynzi.
I remember she mentioned abt the vacuum flask. You can buy the dried red dates(no seed) and the dried longan from those hock hwa or ntuc.
I can have 1 and half cup of red dates drink for my formula. I guess is enough for occupy the vacuum flask.
Tmr morning will take the chinese essence.

<font color="aa00aa">Ecups,
yup yours could be old blood.
No see red still got hope!
Actually its hard to differentiate old blood from spotting as they both look exactly the same. Can range from light brown to dark brown.
Once it turn pinkish or got traces of blood then its not so good.
During ttc not only need FA n DHA, in fact we need lots of other things like EPA, vit b, vit c, etc.
And men n women will need different sets of vits n minerals.
There is no point if only the wife is taking but hubby not taking.
I learned it the hard way that even if my egg is good but the sperm that fertilised it is bad, the foetus will not form properly n will result in mc.</font>

<font color="000080">E-cups >> Spotting before AF and if BFP no difference, but if it is BFP then brown is not so bad (but better to see gynae cos hard to tell if it's good or bad) and red/pink is a bit dangerous. I'd advise you do a HPT just to confirm whether it's BFN or BFP, esp if AF still doesn't report.</font>

SJX, cannt lah... my DH works late at times.. so he also quite tired... as for me, ok lah.. work so eng eng can come in and talk ... so i try to do housework most of the time...
brownies,
Glad you managed to BD. Good luck for this cycle! You have good chance!
peapea,
I don't think the recipe can change to chicken coz it will be too hard as it takes 2-3 hours to cook in the oven. But here is the recipe if you want. Followed the recipe used on the movie "Cooking with Julia" Just need to tweak it depending on how you are cooking. Looks quite cumbersome but trust me, the taste is fantastic! I am going back to it after yesterday's failed experiment.

bearGE,
If your cycle is now 30 days, start testing from CD13. But your cycles used to be shorter right? Maybe you want to start earlier especially since this is the 1st time you are testing.
Haha... Now so many of you join me in testing. Got company liao. I think I have pschyo-ed all of you here to start using OPK. Hahaha...
