(2012) TTC for #1 2012 Mums!
- Thread starter nb01
- Start date
Hi all I'm new to the forum . Currently hoping to plan for a dragon baby . My#1 gal is 2yrs old .. Anyone has any specialist or gynae can do family Planning to introduce ? My menses has been very irregular after childbirth. Tried eating bai foong wan but will end up with sore throat and pimples...
Hi ladies! Wow.. the thread multiplied after I went out!
Congratulation to Amy on her wedding day!
bearGE
You BD like what tethysea said, during O and after O and 2 times so still got good chance! Good luck!
Btw, ladies, can I ask how much do you pay for your folic acid tablets? Coz I went to my gynae to get my new supply for 3 months and my eyes literally went OoooO when I heard the price. I thought they might have charged wrongly but called them again today and they said it is correct. Normally I get it together with my consulatation and scans/pap smear so didn't pay much attention as the overall bill looks correct. Yesterday was the 1st time I went to get it by itself and I nearly fainted at the price. Hopefully I won't need a new supply anymore if I manage to strike soon! Hee hee...

I also heard that but used to getting from my gynae and didn't realise the price was so much! Even more ex than my prenatal vitamins that I also get from him and for this, I compared against the price outside and it was abt the same. So I thought the folic acid would also be the same until yesterday. Just hope this folic acid better have extra "goodness" coz it also includes vit B etc..
Yea.. maybe getting to O soon. Good luck!
Btw, ladies, read through your posts abt body telling you when you are ready for BD, I had vivid dreams last night (you know what I mean) and body getting horny but too early leh.. Only CD12 and no sign of any CM. But maybe good coz can rape hubby tonight and clear his old troops! Haha...

Tks ladies for your input on the folic acid. Won't tell you how much is mine else you might faint at the price too. Lets just say I thought it was $5 for a slab of 30 tablets and I know it was ex but didn't mind. Now I just realised that the price is much more than that! Haha...
And I just detected creamy and slightly stretchy CM! Dunno whether if I should still BD tonight coz not sure if enough time for hubby's troops to replenish before the actual O. Also dunno why suddenly so early as cycles seem to be getting shorter and shorter! May not be in time for MIT! Maybe MIS instead! Hee...
SJX
Actually if strike, only need folic acid for 1st 3 months. After that, I think you stop and take other vitamins. Can't remember why you stop taking but I remember someone mentioning it to me. So I am hoping my 3 months supply will be just nice, espcially since I still have 1 month left. Hee...
peapea
I just tried the essence of chicken recipe! Haven't taken it out yet but from the looks of it, the essence seems quite a lot coz my chicken meat is swimming in the liquid too. Not sure if it is coz the soup didn't get trapped in the rice bowl or if it is coz some water from the outside went into the inner pot. No matter how I lowered the temp, the water kept bubbling and bubbling. But the soup is quite sweet and tasty! Can try it out! Boiled for abt 2+ hours and used probably 1/2-3/4 chicken.

ya true don't buy folic acid from gynae last time I gonggong buy from my gynae and it's expensive . My neighbour asked me to buy at guardian cheaper so much... Oh my god wasted so much money ... Anyone can teach me how to calculate ovulation , etc . I totally have no idea. So what are the things that I need? Clear blue ovulation kit?

Hi all, the cheapest folic acid is found at Unity. $2.52 for 100 tablets. Even govt hospital is selling more expensive than Unity.
Rachel, to test for ovulation using the OPK is the best way to test for ovulation. I m using those cheap strips bought from online blogshop. I buy from babydust.blogspot.com. Accuracy is comparable with Clearblue.

morning ladies
its a stormy sunday morning
HI ladies! Yes, it is raining heavily here in the East as well. Got woken up quite early and "force" myself to go back to bed. Hee...
SJX
Tks for the bb dust. BD last night even though hubby was super tired. Really feel like I am raping him. Haha... But dun care, want to clear the old troops before actual O.
Rachel
To test for O, best is to use OPKs. To know when to start testing using OPKs, minus 17 days from the shortest cycle length especially if you have irregular cycles. E.g. if cycles are 30-40 days, minus 17 days from 30 days and start testing from CD13.
Because you have irregular cycles, better to use the cheap strips to test and then when postive, double confirm with Clearblue Digital. You can just use Clearblue Digital but that might be very ex. Alternatively, just do a big investment into the Clearblue Fertility Monitor. It is expensive but it might be better if you have irregular cycles and the machine tells you when to test which might also be better for you as you are not sure abt O etc..
But up to you. If you find that Clearblue Fertility Monitor is too ex, just start with cheap strips and we can all try to help. Most of us ladies here get our OPKs from www.bbshop01.blogspot.com and she also sells the Clearblue Digital and Fertility Monitor at cheaper than retail.
As to regulate your menses back, most ladies take BFW or Conceive Well. Since you say BFW gives you out breaks, maybe can try Conceive Well.
Of course as you say, you might still want to see a gynae for real professional advice. I don't really know any specialist in this area so can't really help. But you can take a look at our table and look at the list of gynaes we are seeing for reference.

*big wail*
I bought the claerblue digital ovulation kit and have been getting negative results since CD14 though i have all the ovulation symptoms!
Hb decided not to wait and just BD on CD17. I still woke up to a negative test AND my BBT went up ;(
Did I actually missed the O?

Lilthing, dun panic... sometimes BBT is just a guide... not every BBT works well with everyone.. take it as a guide.. dun stress yourself out..SInce your body giving out the symptoms.. then just BD...
It iwll be affect by alot of factor... just like me.. my temp drops on a sat.. riseon sun.. then drop again today.. im in CD14.. my body dun even give out signals.. like the EWCM... so dun worry..

<font color="000080"> Morning! Speaking of BBT, my temp went up again. Wah lao... really dunno what's going on. Haha! But I have no symptoms except really swollen boobs, so I should be "safe".
Lil'thing >> Don't stress yourself out over BBT. Also, one day's temp doesn't mean anything... maybe last night to happen to sleep too close to DH, temp went up. All sorts of things can affect BBT.

Hi ladies!
bearGE
I also think concealer might not be too good. But I also agree might not look nice coz I am also having a lot of breakouts these days. Think just have to let it heal naturally. Maybe can alternate days with putting the concealer.
Btw, ladies, if you got breakouts and want to use those medicated lotions/facial products to clear the breakout, make sure it doesn't contain salicylic acid coz that is not safe for use during pregnancy. So think better not for us to use in TTC coz we also dunno when we will BFP. I have stopped using these products and switch to others.
peapea
Yes, the essence is quite nice but hubby says it is too bu so cannot drink too often.
Lilthing
Don't worry too much but what you can do if the OPKs are still -ve, is to just look at cycle length and BD. Coz supposed O is 14 days from the end of your cycle length. So can just BD from that time or few days earlier.
tethysea
Swollen boobs might also be a BFP sign... Were you trying? Thought you cannot try for a few months?
windy
Sounds like you got a good chance! Good luck!
