nb01>> lol...ok ok.. i also setting budget for this weekend sale in philip warehse and also other places.

peapea>> i guess guys are almost the same bah. As what tethysea mentioned earlier, after married, they felt that that already reach their destination. meaning is a full stop. They will continue with other thing and maybe put us in less priority. But 1 thing for sure, our hubby do love us alot alot!!! Dont think too much le. Weekend is coming. Cheer up and plan how you going to spent time with your hubby this weekend. Plus you also mentioned that he amend le,right? i guess he sense you are upsad.
 
amy, oo you are cycle partners as me!! hahaha

bearge, yup yup, hubby came to meet me for lunch... hahah... so now i feel better.... a bit like you zhi though... hahaha one of those emo outburst... you are right, weekend is here!
 
Hello ladies! So happy it's Friday. I've been reading all your posts about GSS and I got so inspired, I went to Orchard during my lunch break! And made some very impulsive purchases at Max Mara. They are having a 40% discount if anyone is interested. Additional 10% with UOB credit card...

After that first stop, I felt so guilty, I immediately took MRT back to office. Haiz. But I rationalised I was feeling so crappy about the whole TTC-ing, I needed some retail therapy.

It's CD8 for me, I think will test on OPK today. Hopefully will O soon, since DH flying on business trip next week, so this cycle probably very little chance. =(
 
peapea>> Yup, cycle partners for this mth. I juz went thru the table and realised I am one of the few who have super long cycles. =( Lesser chances of getting preggie. =((

Gals, will TCM be able to "tiao" our cycles back to normal cycle?
 
bearGE
Enjoy your shopping! I am resisting the temptation to go to the Phillips warehouse sale. Hee...

peapea
So feel better already that hubby come and "hong" you. Hee...

I also had an emo outburst with hubby the other day coz he is working so late. I know it is hard on him coz I am not working so partly I feel guilty and xin teng for him. And I also blame him why did he want to come back to SG coz we were doing ok overseas and irony is, I can find a good job overseas and not here. Which is another reason why I am not working coz cannot find anything here. Hubby also came to "hong" me and we decided that our water dragon faster swim to us and after that, we can decide whether we still want to stay here coz I told him have to choose between "career and family". Here, got career but no family life and overseas, no career but got family life and our income is also better coz cost of living here is super high compared to overseas.
Sigh.. thinking whether all these TTC is also affecting our moods coz we are "stressed" and "demotivated"....

Amy
Updated!
happy.gif
 
nb01: cheer up! i think you're feeling stressed because you gave up so much and no news yet. give it some time. personally, i think it's easier to raise young children in singapore, with ample parental support, even the maids are cheaper here...compared to say HK or Australia/UK/US.

Hang in there!
 
nb01, yes i agree, very tough during the ttc journey. perhaps that is the reason why our xin li bu ping heng... hahaha

well, i guess there is no perfect path, the grass is always greener on the other side... and our priorities will slowly change... eventually, family will still mean the most to us right...

lets work for our water dragon baby!!! maybe have to consider water birth liao, to match the swimming dragon!!! hahahahaha

amy, i took bai fong wan to regulate my menses... you remember i suddenly had a 35 days cycle? taking bai fong wan helped me to reduce back to 30 days...
 
Amy
I also have quite long cycles and used to be longer like yours, 38-40-ish but somehow dunno why the last 2 cycles, it has started shortening to 38 days and now 35 days. I am not sure what I did besides losing weight (eating healthier diet of fruits and veg) and taking folic acid and my prenatal vitamins regularly. Which is why I also asked if taking these folic acid and vitamins helps shorten cycles. LOL...
 
This weekend prob will drop by Philips warehouse sale too, if I can squeeze in time. =x

bearGE>> I haven't tried yet, was thinking of trying next cycle coz I bought one box le. But I also thinking of seeing TCM to "tiao" as my BBT temp is really low.
 
Olivia
Yea.. I also think I gave up too much coz I really liked the life overseas and didn't want to come back if not for the fact we wanted to try for a kid. And actually this is only my 2nd cycle coz I was tiao-ing my body for the last 1 year and already start to feel down.. Sigh...

peapea
Yup, I agree that family is the most impt which is why I want my hubby to be around. I know it will be difficult for him to sacrifice his career but I think spending time and bonding with his kid will be more impt.
Well, like you say, lets work hard for water dragon and then see how from there. Gambette!
happy.gif


Wah.. water birth! Not many hospitals in SG do that and not many gynaes do it too. Have to find the right gynae and might be super ex. I teach my dragon to swim instead. Cheaper.. Hahaha..
 
nb01, hahaha... i agree! i think might be super ex... what i cant understand is whether the water will turn bloody after that... maybe nt so fast.... or maybe nt at all...

anyway, disturbing image... shldnt think so much...
 
Mrs Ho
Yup.. really stressful abt TTC. After AF come, have to think abt O. After O, 2ww. Sigh.. never ending waiting and waiting.
And when we see the months fly by, we just get more demoralised.

But chin up ladies! We have just started the dragon year and we will all get our chubby little water dragons that breathe fire!
happy.gif
 
nb01: yeah. i know exactly what you mean. i actually moved back from US to get married, as it was difficult for my husband to find a job in the States for his specialisation. so i also know how tough it is to give up a lifestyle you are so accustomed to and love dearly. but having said that, i think it will be worth it in the end.

it's just the beginning in this TTC process for us...let's encourage each other to perservere, since might take a while.
 
anyway, after someone (sorry forgot who) mentioned about the baby dragon soft toy, i've been obsessed with getting one as a reminder to continue on this TTC journey bravely!

but cannot find lei? if anyone comes across, please post on this forum, would be so cute to have! haha.
 
peapea!!!
Dun want to think abt it!!!

Olivia
Yup, it will be all worth it in the end. Persevere!!! So I have told myself not to quarrel with hubby anymore coz he is already stressed enough and to keep my spirits up so that TTC will be easier. And I have you ladies for company!
happy.gif
 
Olivia
Me me me!!! I mentioned abt baby dragon soft toy and looking around for it too but can't seem to find! If can find, I will let you gals know! Hee...
 
peapea>> Bai fong wan? Think I can consider tat. =)

nb01>> Hmmm.. I have also been trying to loose weight and eating more vegetables and fruits. But I keep forgetting to eat my folic acid. Now I start to wonder if it is EPO which cause my cycles to get longer and longer. But the KKH doc say doesn't affect. =_=?

Water birth is so not for me coz I can't swim! =x But I second nb01 - send my dragon to swimming lessons! (coz I can't!) =D
 
Amy
Must remember to take folic acid everyday. Very impt coz helps to prevent certain defects in bb. I also used to forget taking it until I put it beside my bed to remind me to take every morning and I also changed to taking a slab of 30 tablets and take the 1st pill on 1st day of the month so that I will know if I have taken for the day coz I can correspond to the day of the month. Maybe you can try this method too?

And I think peapea mentioned before that EPO caused her cycles to be longer?
 
E-cups
You are naughty!! But everything in moderation is fine. Doubt I will be able to control when I go to Taiwan too. Hee..
happy.gif


Olivia
Cute right? I also like the pink one coz big big eyes and look so cute for a xiao long nu but I want a xiao long nan so I must look more at the 1st one. Fierce fierce. Haha...
 
Olivia
High 5! I go take a look again ok?

E-cups
I totally agree! But now must try to ren if possible. Hee...
 
ecups, i cant seem to say no to brown rice tea... hahahaha and barley tea....

wah... you all want boys ah... i think my hubs want a girl... but im quite anything... hahahah just give me a xiao long already!
 
starrie, yup yup... at least he making ammends...

amy, my cycle was longer than usual and i took EPO that mth.. but nvm, now u tiao your body back... try BFW
 
nb01>> Guess it's time to stop EPO and give them to my sis. Haha.. I am taking fish oil supplement now. From my research, supposed to take EPO till O, then take fish oil, but I didn't managed to detect O at all for this cycle, so juz switch to fish oil le. Think the EPO and fish oil supplements can give away le. =x I have the habit of eating my supplements at nite. Shd folic acid be taken in the morn? If yes, I will have to do a switch. =p
 
peapea
I also think xiao long anything also can. But can always hope for gender right? Although not determined by us... Haha...

Amy
I think folic acid should be taking in the morning. But I can't remember where I read or who told me. Maybe the other ladies can confirm?

EPO is supposedly good to take if you want to conceive boy but I dun dare to take in case it lengthens my cycles. hee...
 
Each of us take a dragon pic and look at it and tell the dragon to swim faster to us ok? Hahaha...

I am taking the blue one.

Yesterday i did the Ovulation kit and saw a line.. but rather faint.. this morning i tested again, this time the line is darker than yesterday.. so does it mean i am gg to O within the next 2 days??
