bearGE,
Actually doesn't mean once you get faint line, you will get dark line. Coz I got faint line before, then disappear, then suddenly dark line.
But once you get dark line, the egg is going to release within 24-36 hours. That is what my gynae said and has been proven in my past 2 cycles.
I read that part too. I think it is because your cycles are not always 30 days and can be shorter and since it is your 1st cycle testing and you don't know your cycle yet, can try testing earlier. Coz if your cycle goes back to 26 days for this cycle, then you might miss the surge.
I know the urge to play with those strips is very tempting! Haha...

Ling,
Actually if you want, you can try using OPKs first as they are the same principle - to track for O and to track the egg. If not successful, then you can take the jab. I think doing the scan is ok coz I also did it but I didn't take the jab.
E-cups
AGREED! Hahaha...
Test? You mean test for OPKs? No no.. I will only test in abt 2+ weeks coz my cycles are very long and I know I O around CD20-25.
But I KS and have stocked up for my next cycle already! Hahaha.. Got my Clearblue Digital ready too! Wahaha...
If anyone also doesn't want to announce so early, I can amend the table. I have done it for myself already. So can take a look.

Like u all. I will not announce once I get my BFP.cos of last year history.

Yea.. should be 1 egg per month unless twins. Haha... Normally, I think once it reaches 18mm, should indicate you are going to O.

<font color="green">
sunshine my gynae told me to try to get pregnant, as my is not that "long" but he need to see the actual result before doing the op for me as so far my Septate womb is the not cause of my m/c
for TCM she told people still can pregnant normal with Septate womb so she agree with my gynae.
anyway Septate womb is based on family history, as my aunt also has Septate womb but she got my 2 cousins..
Mrs Ho that the whole purpose motivation for each other haaa...
e-cups it is meant for making tea or coffee but i use it for dates too heee.... pretty useful whaaha
tethysea as what i get to know from my gynae.. not necessary ur egg will come for one side or either side.. it will depend the egg quality.. which side mature first.. the mature egg will be come out first...

Mine v simple, I oni put red date n danggui n wolfberries and dble boil it in low heat for abt 4hr. My MIL say dun need so many herbs cos dang gui v heaty liao n use seedless red date (less heaty). U can add dangshen, if u want. Then my DH's is American ginseng slice instead of danggui. </font>

For those who don't mind, can still see lah.. I only remove my details. The rest are the same. Hee...
What I heard abt the egg and ovary is also the same as SJX.
sunshine,
Wow.. you still go marketing and make fresh food? I just go once a week and freeze the fresh food. Learn this lazy method from overseas. Haha...
And your soups sounds so nice and healthy!
Btw, what sort of double boiler are you using? Can share? I am looking for one to make birds nest. Thinking of using my normal pot and just buy a Tanyu smaller pot and put inside the normal pot.
Mrs Ho,
For the herbs, I get from EYS or Bee's Brand in Chinatown. Like sunshine said, I just anyhow put herbs in, like red date, gou qi zi, etc.. But now coz TTC and I dunno which herbs can take and which cannot, I don't add herbs to my soups.

Danggui is for blood circulation and is heaty. My MIL say my DH can't take much heaty stuff and he can take american ginseng, so I follow her reciepe loh. I'm not sure whether man can take anot lei, I oni know danggui is more for woman. But the first time I hv danggui soup, I can feel the 'heat' dispersing ard my body, n the subsequent soup, I can't feel the heat anymore.
I bought my danggui frm chinese med hall in chinatown, they will pick n sliced for u. After slicing, its light brown in color. Like tree trunk gana sliced color, heehee, eh can u imagine? keke...</font>

Mrs Ho,
I add dried scallops and nowadays, dried abalone slices. Dried scallops is rich in amino acids and minerals like calcium and zinc so it is good for us.
But ladies, if you intend to buy dried scallops especially from Japan as they mainly come from Hokkaido, make sure you check it was imported before the Japan crisis. I know that a lot of medical shops ran out of dried scallops and prices rose because pple were buying like crazy and stocking up. I have 3kg in my freezer and my sister has 5kg! Hee...
