Amy>> Dr Tan gave me a bottle of powder and 4 packs of herbs.. I am supposed to finish the powder first, then subsequently every week brew the herbs one pack once a week.. She did not tell me my AF when may come, but she was quite surprised that up till today my AF still not yet come.. But she did tell me that "tiao" around 3 months should be sufficient.. Treatment with her is so much cheaper too, my total bill comes up to $70, with medicine sufficient for up to one month plus, but at the previous TCM, every week take the medicine for 6 days already cost me $80 plus, one month is like over $240.. -_-"

I think age is quite sensitive. And somemore this is open forum, so anyone can come in and read. As for no of cycles tried, some of us here have tried for some time and I think looking at such info might be quite demoralizing. Also, think some of us lost count of no of cycles tried already. LOL...
As for closed FB group, I think some of us are not revealing that we are TTC and if on fb, pple can still see what group you join unless you make the title super secretive. But you can ask the other ladies if they want it.
E-cups
Glad you are feeling better.

E-cups>> Do take more rests! All will be fine, don't worry!
Amy>> You see Dr Tan every week or only this coming wed is the 2nd time after your medicine finish? She will see your condition and prescribe the appropriate medicine/herbs for you ba.. Mine was cos I m/c, so may be different from yours.. But herbs still better than medicine, at least "bu" the body.. Ya, my previous TCM is really expensive, I still have an acupuncture package with her, quickly finish with her then fully come to Dr Tan.. Keke..

E-cups>> Wow!! Yours is even more expensive than mine! Mine I find not working well, and the pills she gave is alot, also don't know what is the medicine for, ask her she also don't say much.. But if your TCM is helping you, it's still worth it..
Amy>> She told me to finish my medicine then go back see her, most probably will be quite long later.. If the powder you say will finish in 3 weeks, then plus 4 weeks of drinking herbs once a week, I think I will see her in late August or early September le..

Anyone did hormones blood test?
Amy & e-cups - our condition same, body temp low at 35.xx. I didn't know that low temp is bcoz of cold stuffs we took. I also have cold hands & feet and Dr. Tan SB asked me to avoid cold stuffs. I have been heeding her advice since m/c. I even avoid caffine and liang cha. Liang cha is bcoz of my m/c.

Amy>> Sorry, my msgs are really lag.. My mom is also prepared to brew herbs given by the TCM.. But if she gives you herbs, remember to put in the freezer or else will spoil easily..
sarahfaith>> No prob abt the lagging part. =) Was thinking maybe we will see each other there one of these days! =)
coyote>> I also quitted my fav green tea due to the caffine part! Now switch to other safer teas recommended by one of the forummers and LRD tea. =) I also only know abt the cold stuffs part only when E-cups mentioned it. The hormones test u talking abt, qat izzit abt? I am not sure if it's the same tests I did the other time.

Amy - how old are u? Don't play play with fire ah..xiao meimei...hahaha... U r seeing Dr. Tan SB or Dr. Zou? For Dr. Tan SB, normally is 2 pack of med for 4 days in a week. So can rest 3 days *yeah*
My gf was telling me her female hormones r low, tested via blood test. She is currently on med to regulate her hormones level, so she will ttc after this treatment (6-12mths) is over. That's why I am asking whether u gers did this test and is it neccessary? I personally have no wish to delay my ttc.

coyote>> I am also avoiding all liang cha, coffee and tea.. Actually previously before I got pregnant, I ate as usual, got take cold drinks etc.. Only after m/c, then know that I have to take care, no cold drinks and caffeine.. Let's get well quickly so that we can TTC soon!

Amy>> Yeap! Usually your appointments are on Wednesday? We may meet one day! The herbs Dr Tan gave me is to drink once a week.. So planning to take every sunday.. Not sure how will yours be.. But hers is quite convenient, my previous TCM was every day take 2 times, total 3 medicines, 2 to 6 pills a time, whereas Dr Tan's is once a day will do, and herbs is once a week..
I saw you mentioned green tea, I forgot green tea has caffeine!! Have been drinking hot green tea these few week wor! Better stop liao..
Coyote>> I don't think it should be the reason for m/c.. Dr Tan told me the reasons for m/c should be cos the egg may not have implanted properly on the walls so it cannot grow properly, or the egg or sperm has some problem, so the egg cannot continue to grow.. The body will ensure that a healthy baby will be produced, so m/c is the body's natural way to stop any abnormal eggs from growing.. At the mean time, we are to take good care of our womb, to keep it warm and nourished for bb to grow..
Your TCM may be able to advise you whether you need to take the blood test?

Its ok. We are all holding hands with each other.
Btw, talking abt low body temps and cold food, my body temps are also very low. Around 35.xx. But I already dun take cold drinks and cold/liang things. And I leave my fruits and cold drinks outside to warm for at least 30 mins before I take so really dunno what else I can do! LOL... So jia you ok, ladies!

Sarahfaith - yes, both gynae & TCM told me the same that you mentioned. Thanks for the reassurance, sometimes I will just let my tots mislead me. And green tea is liang too.
I am seeing my TCM on Monday, will ask her.
nb01- looks like the few of us have something in common. Same here, I will leave fruits at room temp until they are not cold. Only ice-cream cannot leh, don't like to eat melted ice-cream hahaha...

Hmm... to those who wish to tiao their body, but do not wish to try TCM yet, maybe can try to drink the tonic Wincarnis? It contains alcohol so I don't know if that is a NO-NO for TTC but my guess is just a small tiny cup a day should be fine?
The reason why I recommend this is I used to get late and/or painful AF but with Wincarnis my AF is regular and not painful, maybe just a little sore back, but no painful cramps.
Wincarnis is like Yomeishu or DOM but the alcohol content is lower and less heaty (at least for me).
I buy my Wincarnis from DFS but I have seen them selling at NTUC/Giant too.

I haven't taken ice cream for months! But I realise the easiest way is not to buy ice cream at all. I always have cravings when I am at home but when I step into the supermarket and look at the ice creams, I tell myself cannot take and must be good gal so I don't buy. So without it at home, I dun eat! Haha...
Amy
Yea.. like you and the others. Super low temps so I gave up taking BBT after 1st month. You are not abnormal lah... You got so many of us for company! Hee...

nb01>> My hubby has stocked up the fridge with tubs of ice-cream lorz! =_=" But I usually eat ice-cream when I am outside. =x Esp since past weeks had been so hot! I am thinking of giving up BBT taking also. Like waste my time and make me wake up from my sleep earlier than intended. =x
sarahfaith>> Do u take BBT? Dr Tan didn't mentioned BBT to me lorz. =x
sarahfaith>> Do u take BBT? Dr Tan didn't mentioned BBT to me lorz. =x
Amy
Wah... tell your hubby he is tempting you! Not good! Haha...
I had the same problem as you when taking BBT. I felt like it is waking me up from my sleep and I cannot sleep properly as I want to wake up and take temperature. Since it was disturbing my beauty sleep too much, I gave up.
Maybe you can check with your TCM if BBT is necessary? Coz if it disturbs you too much or causes you too much stress, better not to take BBT. Need to be happy and stress free.

tangerinez - another choice cld be Hui Ji Waist Tonic drink, it is non-alcohol tonic. I take this after my m/c and vegetarians take this for confinement instead of DOM. But I dunno whether this will help in AF.
nb01 - Ice-cream @ home/supermarket doesn't tempt me. Is whenever I go to my in-law's hse, everyone will hold 1 stick and eat in front of me. Arrrggghhhh... I will stare at my DH and ask him to finish up asap!
Amy/nb01 - we are the low-temp gers..haha..

bear: Yes, I recommend taking chicken essence too! It really warms the body but I'm a little concerned about it's effect for pregnancy. Do you know if one can take chicken essence that contains Pao4 Shen1 if one is pregnant?

Amy>> I'm not taking BBT.. Dr Tan also did not ask me to take BBT wor.. My DH also told me don't take, or else very stressful for me..
tangerinez - I manual type, chart on graph paper provided by TCM. Think ladies here use Fertilty Friend, shld b free. http://www.fertilityfriend.com
bearGE - me too, cannot take DOM coz I got heaty body system. Am taking chix essence/huiji waist tonic on non-TCM med days.
waves is right, pregnant cannot take certain herbs. I know dangui cannot.
