I cannot sleep w/o my blanket too! Even when I nap, I also got to cover. I told my hb that my blanket is the only thg that gives me an chuan gan! LOL!

tethysea> Dont worry! Everythg is going to be ok. This test is just to prove that your bb is all healthy & fit to face the world! I know exactly how you feel now. *hugs hugs*
Vanilla> You no ms also ar? I pratically feel nothg at all! Sometimes [very rare] will feel like throwing up. Just more freq trips to toilet. Sometimes with craving. Last week I was so paranoid that I went to test on my hpt again! Hahahaha! But actually I would rather have ms then it gives me the assurances that my beanie is growing well. Cos the previous preg, I didnt have any ms as well.

Gingerbreader, Vanilla, tethysea,
what was your bbt when you tested bfp? does your bbt go below 36.00 during af period? or what is your nominal bbt during af period?

<font color="000080">Chloie >> *hugs back* Thank you for your encouragement! I understand your feeling about the ms too... actually my ms came when I was in week 10 and went on until now week 16 liao then stop -_-;; Before that worrying worrying wondering why no ms... after that living off dry biscuits for a few weeks. Haha!
Vanilla >> Enjoy the ms-less period... hope it lasts! Yar I have friends with no ms at all, baby no problem. Depends from ppl to ppl de lar.
sunstillshines >> My coverline is 36.1, so when af report it will go below the coverline - it depends on YOUR coverline. My bbt when I bfp was around 36.7-9 bah.</font>

Good Morning Ladies!
I'm new here and had been reading your posts for quite some time... and now, would like to join in the discussion
Congrats to those who got your peas/beanies/potatoes...
My situation is similar to shaggy - irregular periods.
Just went to see doc yesterday and was given 2 weeks supply of medi to induce the menses, followed by blood tests to see if I've got ovulation or not. Hope I do and hope there's no major concerns to worry about.
Now praying hard for menses to come so that I can proceed with the blood tests.
For those with PCOS, may I ask what are the tests or symptoms to look out for and how doc determine it?

Mrs Carice >> Thank you *hugs* I think we will all never stop worrying even until the kids are middle aged and we all have dementia already... haha!
Welcome, Bright! Good luck for the tests, hope it's all good! How long have you been trying?</font>

tethysea : Thank you. We are unprotected since January. But, we are not the hardworking type and I've got difficulty determining fertile period... so it's "let nature take its course" type of attitude.
But recently, came to know of anovulation and some other infertility stuffs, got scared and don't really wana waste more time so decided to see doc
How about you? How long have you tried? When's your EDD? Take good care ya!

<font color="000080">Bright >> I started trying in Jan too. I have irregular periods too, at first also dunno much about TTC so just anyhow whack and hope to get lucky. Later I learnt to take Basal Body Temperature and I got bfp in March, but unfortunately not viable. Rested a while and tried again, bfp again in June/July. My EDD is mid-march
Important not to stress out and take it easy... I think multivits (for both you and hubby) will help too - at least that's what I did differently the 2nd time round

i rem i got a colleague who got quite bad MS. she told me not to talk to her cos she feel like puking every min. So we converse by internal MSN for her whole 1st Tri.. come to think of it, its so funny, esp when she is just behind me.
anyway, i have this wierd feeling in the uterus. like got some kind of thub thub or rumbling feeling for the past half hr. i wonder whats that abt. I'm in DPO9. i wonder if some implantation is going on!!!

tethysea : That's good! So BBT tells you if you've got O? Most important is to have O first right?
Verone : I only started taking my temp two days ago.. really know nuts about all these. I used OPK - always halfway gave up... cos my period is way too long for me to be persistant enough in using the kit.. I tried to notice my CM too.. but no significant indications... so I reckoned that going to see a gynae for help in determining if I did O is correct?

<font color="000080">Verone >> My hcg too high! That's why I "failed" the OSCAR screening! LOL.
Bright >> Yes, if you don't have O the bbt won't split clearly into the 2 phases - it'll just sorta wobble all around the place. Some gynae/TCM will actually ask you to take bbt for 3 cycles before going back to them, so they can get a clearer idea of your cycle pattern from there. I used fertilityfriend.com (it's free!) to input my bbt data and it will give you a pretty good reading of your chart.</font>

Hi Bright, I've got the exact same problem as you. My cycle is too long so it's almost impossible to track using opk. I usually track for 10 days and give up, usually yielding no positive result.
I've not started using BBT yet, I've heard some mix review about BBT.. As for CM, seriously, I've not notice any difference in my discharge at all. I'm either more dry or wetter, even wetter its also normal cloudy discharge. I never remember having any egg-white like discharge. Like today is already CD21 for me and I still don't see any CM. Either I've not ovulated yet or I'm not ovulating again.
I told my husb to give it a shot for this 3 months, by next Jan if no news we'll opt for clomid. I really don't know how to try naturally anymore when I can't even spot my ovulation.

sjx - sharp pain is bad, did u tell Dr. Tan abt it?
kitty - thanks for the link to the cooling foods, I realised lotsa fruits are cooling. Jialet, what to eat???? Not many choices!!!! I am suspecting my back suan could be link to too much kiwi... DH has been feeding me 4 kiwi per wk for the vitamin C. Maybe is too liang for me already. Am stopping now to see whether it helps.
tethysea - I wish my bbt is as high, normally during DPO my bbt is around 36.4-36.6 only. Coverline is ard 36.1.

SJX >> That doesn't sound good... got see doc about it?
coyote >> Kiwi is cooling ah? I thought it's neutral. But you were saying your body naturally heaty type right?</font>

Bright.. for me my PCOS is quite evident from the ultrasound scan, as my ovaries are really polycyctic from what we see in the monitor. I guess the blood test is to confirm it and see how severe the issue is.
If i'm not wrong, there is no need to verify whether we O or not, my colleague went to the gynae and she was precribe clomid because she has been TTC-ing for a few month and no news and she decided she do not want to wait anymore. She didn't have to go through any blood test either. And she did strike on her 2nd cycle on clomid.

Shaggy : is it?... your colleague also irregular menses?... aiya... should have request for clomid straight and try out
I did a full body checkup with ultrasound scan in July. No area of concern was brought up by the doc... so I assume things are ok?... If PCOS is present, doc will evaluate and inform us right?

hmm.. your doc didn't raised any concerned about your long cycle? Usually long cycle is a tell tale for PCOS, but not always true. Mine is long cycle plus a polycycstic ovaries so more or less confirm PCOS.
How long have you been trying naturally? Did your doc gave you any directions? Like what to do for this period of time and when to see him again?
For mine, he told me when to BD and if I still don't strike within another 3-6months I can go back to see him and he will start treatment on me.

The checkup doc did not raise any concern... the gynae yesterday also did not... the gynae only commented "judging from your long cycle, most probably you do not ovulate... but we can just test it and see how"...
Since January, we are unprotected.
I have to wait for my menses to come. Then on day 3 and day 26, go back for blood test.
Wah... meaning he helped you to determine when is your possible O? That's good eh...
Does doing ultrasound scan also can determine if you did O or not?

He didn't ask me to go back on my possible O dates, and I can tell that he sort of expected that I won't be able to O on my own.
He tell me to try naturally for 3 months first then go back for more testings. I think your gynae has already started you on the tests, so just be patient and you will know soon. I guess if he finds out you are not O-ing, he will prescribe clomid to you. And even with clomid treatment, you may have to go back for a few days to scan the size of your eggs. Really not gonna be an easy process but let's jia you!
I was telling my husb, even before the baby comes we already spend a bomb on TTC..
May I know how old are you?

tethysea - according to the TCM link, kiwi is cooling. My body system is xu (weak) yet heaty, so both cooling & heaty foods should be avoided. I also don't know what to eat now, zhen ma fan. I can feel that my body is in an imbalance stage, many acnes popping out. Haiz.
I'm 25 this year, and the doc say I have time to play with so he didn't insist I start fertility treatment immediately. Good in a sense that I feel less pressurised but I think my patience is wearing out with all these waiting and guessing.. I really didn't expect myself to go thru this at this age, and my cousins and peers around my age are concieving so effortlessly.
Yup, I read on the internet about younger women sufferring from PCOS and its mainly due to their diet, work stress and lack of exercise. I first discovered my PCOS condition when i was 23! omg.. I didn't think much until recently when i realise it's affecting my TTC..
I think till date I have spend a few thousands on TTC already. From all the supplements, TCM, gynae visits, at least cost me 2-3k already. And i just started only. can't imagine how much I gonna spend if this drags on for years..

Verone: my TCM say I'm xu and han (weak and cold), but she say ok for me to bu (take tonic). I cannot take cooling stuff like ice lemon tea etc.. And she also mentioned that ppl who has han(cold) body don't concieve easily.
I'm taking bai fong wan now to keep my body warm.. Actually I'm not sure if its psychological or what, but I really feel my body is more "warm" now. Like I don't feel as cold when I'm in the office.
